Who other than you thinks what you typed is remotely true?

Yeah...backpedaling and in position. Should be a no call...but that's unfortunately a consistent defensive foul call. Gotta go to the rules committee with that one.
I thought Steph took a 3 earlier? Fitz must've forgotten.
Justin Holiday doing his best Brandon Rush impression.

Guess the Lakers just aren't about that Tank Life. Fuck this squad. You assholes don't want that pick. Guess it's time to start scouting the 2016 mock drafts instead.

Yeah..Lacob will pay...Myers will work his cap magic to get him signed.

As a post Brandon Rush Warrior fan, i've been wondering why the Warriors felt the need to sign both Justin and Brandon (after I'd watched Justin in every summer league game this year). After signing Barbosa ....when they added Justin to the official squad at the end of training camp I thought "wtf does Brandon Rush do better than Justin right now?"
The answer. Nothing.
I guess the Brandon Rush signing was a sympathy hire from someone. I see the guy get playing time now and he looks slow and unatheletic for a wing.
Everyone on the team loves him though. At times I feel very sorry for Brandon...but only the better players should see playing time this season.

I don't think Rush ever recovered from that injury against Memphis.

Someone please have Mobuckets kneeing him in the face. It's funny because Westbrook wasn't really hurt.

So I started browsing around the 2016 mock draft class on Draft Express and had to stop when I noticed most of the guys' dates of birth and got depressed.

RIP Cavs.
I like the Shumpert grab. Was needed. If they can find a big, that'll be nice. But goddamn, Kyrie has to stay healthy because the Cavs with Dellavadobbbo at the point is just the hardest to watch shit ever. And that mothafucka being in position to take the game winner with KEVIN LOVE on the team blows my fucking mind into small, molecule-like pieces.

Ugly 3rd, Warriors still up by 19. I'll take it.
Second unit is better at defense than the first. Whole bunch of 6'7" dudes with long arms.
Draymond, Andre, Justin Holiday have sick reach.

suns say thanks as well. ; )
Basically same boat for the celts as well. Really no big targets I can see them grabbing on their radar, and it looks like this is the year that Green and Bass finally go, obviously Rondo is already gone. With the pistons and hornets having turned it around, the celts are conceivably looking at a 4th/5th/6th spot basically predicated on where the jazz and Lakers finish again. If they drop green and bass I can see that happening, and next year probably won't be any better, although I really love what I've seen from Smart. Doesn't change the fact that our 2 young bigs can't play defense, and Avery Bradley is worthless.
Shump is a really good grab and they dropped that headache to the thunder. Dalembert was just waived, so he'd be a decent stop gap. I wonder if the mavs would grab him again.

As a Raps fan, I can see why just impressive. Wtf is with Cp3 getting outplayed by East PG lately.

and they came back from like 15 too. it was sad to watch, but not surprising. PG talent behind Kyrie is legit awful. Dellavadova wouldn't even be on most teams rosters and he's starting for the Cavs. And even when he's not starting he's still getting 15-20 minutes/game.
Our depth sucks hot asshole juice.
Not anymore... you guys just made the top of Marc Stein's power rankings. Everyone knows now!!!!!

His supporting cast in Minny are the Spurs compared to his teammates that game

Man if you guys miss on Thon, he apparently has a one year younger brother ( Matur Maker) that's 6'10 with a similar game eligible for 2017 draft.
Edit oops 2 years younger -2017 recruiting class

I actually think the knicks are going to over pay some RFA's (right now they are real close to the room needed to be able offer 2 RFA a max). The lakers problem is they wanted a lebron or a Melo to capitalize on Kobe's last couple of great years. Getting RFA's on their rookie deal to take Max offers is relatively easy. So while everybody is focused on Marc Gasol and LMA. The knicks should try to steal players like kwahi, butler, green, or jackson. Everybody says "oh their teams will match" but we see every year that teams let players go. Look at Harden or Parsons. Its easy to say a GM will match until they see that 15 - 17 mil a year contract in front their face. Now are those guys worth that money? idk i think everything is based on if phil believes they can work in the triangle.
Melo is 30, so getting a guy (or 2) with a lot of potential on a max deal in his early 20's to play besides Melo isn't a bad move. Especially if Phil is thinking long term and figures those players will be around to watch this year draft pick mature.
Oh, you're finally old enough to be these guys' parent? Yeah...been there a couple years. LOL. PEACE.

BG, back in week 15
though I twisted "call him an idiot when he makes a drive-by post" given your propensity for doing that last month into "fuck off" on account of we literally just gave the Sixers their first home win, so I apologize for that
I still don't know how I feel about that trade on Cleveland's end (weighing Shumpert and the picks vs. the JR wildcard), but I feel like OKC definitely lost it.
The hype maybe equivalent to Wiggins/Jabari for him.
Hello NBA gaf, i recently have been watching a huge amount of espn first take and really enjoy their basketball talks, one segment I watched was on how good Steph Curry is and since I have youtube the fuck out of him and he is damn good, I recently checked out where its available in the uk and apparently there is a Golden State game on tonight (Well tomorrow, live at 1am)
Gonna watch, would this be a good pick for a team? I have no allegiances, follow the sport in the Olympics but its really not big over here at all.

So whats the point for FDKnicks doing the trade? Just to get a cheaper tank?
They showed this on sportcenter top plays and then stan verrett said "He's so fancy! But you already know!" lol.
As for your question. Yes that team is really good. You picked the right California team.

I watch First take too once NBA season is on. It's entertaining to listen to Stephen A and skip while I gaf/or do other stuff at home.

Cap space.. The Knicks think the lure of Phil and playing with Carmelo can attract a big name FA.

We don't but he's a tantalizing prospect.. 7'2 with ridiculous wingspan.. Can anchor your interior defense as he's already an amazing rim protector. On offense, he has the shooting range, ball handling skills and agility of a guard. He doesn't have much of a post game and needs to bulk up but those are addressable. Also, don't forget, he's at the earliest 2 years away from being drafted into the NBA.
Basically he's the type of pick you can potentially build a franchise around.
As good a team as any. #1 record in the league right now! Welcome aboard.

It blows my mind that Shumpert is this type of NBA player.
Not to hate on a brother, but for all the hype I never saw it when he played for GT.
Also *puts flame suit on*
Of the two former Demon Deacs Chris Paul looked at the back end of his career while Jeff Teague looked to be in primetime last night.
Flat out CP3 looked slow.
