is exum doing anything now are we still running off the u19 fiba performance? not denying exum is good (though his inability to shoot off the bounce is kind of worrying) but it's a pretty small sample size.

No, and that probably gives him more risk since there's greater odds his play was fluky, but I'm just saying that people might not need to be as worried about Wiggins being great to start than other prospects. Drummond went months with little criticism for his just terrible play and I think that was partially because Davis and MKG started the year so well. It's really early so there's a lot of time to see what happens with really raw guys like Wiggins and Embiid.

wait.. isnt that what basketball scouting is?

Hahah

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

He did an awesome job on Parker in the second half of the Duke Kansas game.

Wiggins will be just fine.

 

[LegendofJoe]

the 39 point game was a bit flukey since he was throwing up westbrook-esque shots but he's looked a lot better this year, love his ability to

Spoiler

flop

draw fouls. kevin pelton's nba projection stats rate him highly too so i dunno.

It's his steal rate, for some reason it correlates strongly with NBA success. MCW is the latest example, so the correlation seems legit to me. Noel had a high steal rate too, so it's a safe bet that Hinkie is a believer.

More details:

Carter fakes injuries and calls for wheelchairs all the time but he's completely right about Dwight Howard fishing for calls. Dwight Howard, throughout his entire career, has been more interested in complaining about getting beat up in the pain rather than putting time into shooting free throws better and developing more than two post moves.

Wait so he got poked in both eyes AND accidentally kicked in the kidney? That's rough.

Sweet. I won't have much trouble finding good coffee in Portland lol.

And most of my friends don't drink coffee and I hardly ever entertain, so I only need enough for myself.

Aside from what's already been stated (quality of coffee, storage/keep, and hardware) you might want to add some cinnamon during the brewing process.

If you have a drip machine, half a stick of cinnamon buried in the grounds is magical. Something about the cinnamon being infused during the brewing process.

If using a press, which is the best way imo, throw it in there as well. though you won't be able to press the plunger all the way down, robbing yourself of some of the oils associated with pressed coffee.

I'd also advise you to look into "piloncillo" sometimes called "panocha" as a sweetener. The genuine Mexican kind that comes in the shape of a cone. It's rock cane sugar and it's amazing. Throw it in a pot with some water and heat until it melts and you can keep it in a jar as a syrup-like sweetener. It won't harden due to the water content and you can adjust the amount of water for the consistency you are looking for. Less water and you get a molasses like thickness, more water and it thins out. YouTube it!

Enjoy.

Awesome advice, thanks!

Cinnamon sounds good...

It comes down to the beans and type of roast tho

 

[LegendofJoe]

I've had several people suggest that I check out a French Press, I think I'm going to cave and buy myself a decent one.

They are awesome. So much more flavor than drip.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Clips/Thunder should be good.

Not sure why CHI/DEN is on TNT though.

 

[Dominican Power]

Because it's a West Coast game you dunce.

Even funnier is that they're using CP3/Durant/Rose and... Farried

 

[ratcliffja]

Redick can't shoot anymore and could never defend. What point does he serve?

Edit: Finally.

You're the one asking stupid ass questions.

 

[Dominican Power]

You're not a 3pt shooter, Westbrick.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Holy shit at this commercial lolololol.

 

[ph33nix]

Dominican Power is just on his monthly cycle.

He's had nothing but angry posts today. Why does he hate the world?

 

[K.Jack]

Who cares if they're set up to keep a bunch of players, if they'd still be better with Harden?

 

[ratcliffja]

Redick you're just so dumb.

 

[giri]

Who cares if they're set up to keep a bunch of players, if they'd still be better with Harden?

P.much . Or if they had even gotten more for hom. Still think the trade was robbery.

 

[ratcliffja]

I feel like a broken record, but Redick is just awful.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

I thought this game would be more exciting.

Lol at jordan getting stuffed by Ibaka.

 

[unknownstranger]

Perkins should be suspended every time he tries to take a jumper outside of 10 feet.

Why would anyone ask a knicks Fan why they are always angry?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Lmao @ shaq falling.

[AlphaSnake]

Aaahahahahahah @ Shaq falling. Omg they are clowning around so much

I hate you coach roaches known ass Heat fans.

 

[LegendofJoe]

The Thunder are under hyped this year.

 

[DY_nasty]

I hate ever saying that Blake Griffin would be the next Amare...

 

[Eleuin]

Doesn't say much, but Adams is a definite upgrade over Perkins

 

[victreeb3l]

Whats Chucks obsession with Brooklyn?

 

[Dominican Power]

Doesn't say much, but Adams is a definite upgrade over Perkins

Colossal upgrade.

 

[VPhys]

WOW. I didn't think halftime would deliver as much without Chuck but damn that was hilarious.

 

[ph33nix]

I hate you coach roaches known ass Heat fans.

I think you need a hug

or something

 

[DY_nasty]

I think you need a hug

naw

fuck da knicks

 

[TheSadRanger]

Adams has a higher ceiling IMO as well. Perkins will probably be traded before the all-star break as well with Adams getting more and more minutes. Perkins is expensive for a back up center that doesn't play much.

Presti can probably get a good deal for him I'd imagine, Perkins has one more year on his contract after the season.

editerkins contract was backloaded though with 9 mil owed for next year so I don't know how much it would affect his value.

Are you crazy? Presto would have to give up a first rounder and beg to get someone to take perk.

 

[DY_nasty]

No one in their right mind would trade for Perkins

 

[Branduil]

So you're saying he's going to be a Knickerbocker.
