NBA 2018-2019

I actually think Kellerman is worse than Stephen A and only slightly above Skip. I find myself disagreeing with pretty much every opinion he has.

I don't even think they actually believe the dumb things they say. It's just part of the job. It would be nearly impossible for folks that involved in sports to come up with those asinine opinions otherwise.

Skip admitted exactly that, some years back. That's why I can't take anybody like that serious anymore. I wish Max would've stuck with boxing, as we watch boxing every single weekend, he was very good.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Well he threw Pelinka under the bus and called him a backstabber.

 

[Alsacs]

Magic just proved he had no power and was in essence a figurehead.
Now because he was only working part time how could he think he had any decision making power.

This interview though will not help Pelinka or the Lakers in FA.
The minority owners of the Lakers will do a coup on Jeanie just like she did to her brother.

Danny Green shot 45% from 3 this year while being one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Guy finished 1st among ALL SGs in the NBA in ESPN Real +/- this year on top of that. Thinking that he is bad is why fans are dumb.

Responding to people that are posting thoughts in the midst of a game - the day after a game, and being sanctimonious about it, is actually the number one indicator that a person is actually dumb.

It's a fact. You can check Wikipedia. I appreciate your heroic efforts though!

I'd lean towards it being lower on the indicator scale.

You'd be wrong. It's actually 1st among amongst all indicators on Wikipedia's Real +/- this year for measuring if someone is dumb.

Wait, do you also have Drake's ESPN Real +/- so I can do a full comparison????

I mean, I need it in street clothes, and out - but only then can I actually finish my hot take! Thanks - I'm at work, so having you around and your brainy analytics is going to pay huge dividends when I'm comparing NBA players to the fans sitting in the front row!!!!

 

[Alsacs]

Magic is torching the Lakers.

 

[Cusefan0307]

It is clear that Lue was who Magic wanted as coach.

It's professional wrestling. They have their topics of the day and beforehand determine each side they will take.

 

[Alsacs]

Stephen A. Knows this is professional wrestling stuff these takes he is just smart and surrounds himself with a person(Max) who is willingly to be a bigger moron and make SAS look more reasonable by osmosis. Kellerman is paid a lot of money to say stupid stuff and just hit nerves. It’s why he won’t admit he is wrong with the cliff and Tom Brady. When he talks about that it’s just pointless to take it seriously as he is just trolling for attention and make SAS look smart.
I guess if you paid me multiple millions a year I would do what Max does as well.

Editing posts an hour and a half later, must be pretty bored.

Editing posts an hour and a half later, must be pretty bored.

It's a holiday in Canada...so yeah. Anyway, nobody quoted it - so I didn't see much harm.

I guess I could go back and analyze posts made during games like 13 hours after the game...and pretend I'm super-insightful about the NBA because I know how to use bookmarks!

Now leave me alone because I'm probably going to post the exact same stuff about FVV and Danny Green next game - it'll probably occur at some point in the 4th Quarter if that helps. This is in spite of the fact that I now know that Danny Green is simply sublime at SG, and FVV is the pretty much the 22nd most super-awesome PG in the NBA!

 

[Alsacs]

I was looking at the 1998 draft.
How the heck did Michael Olowokandi go first overall?
I mean his college numbers weren’t crazy 22–11 with 3 blocks. That draft was loaded and this stiff went first.

I am here to spread the Danny Green gospel! On the other hand, FVV was alright during the season but man he's been terrible in the playoffs.

Hell of a question. I mean, he was really tall!

magic getting hammered on local l.a. talk radio today. not by hosts but by callers. i heard 2 segments with callers that were at least 3 to 1 against magic. people not necessarily supporting pelinka nor even jeanie, but really pissed at magic

Magic has no off the court basketball credential. Him preparing a list of what Luke Walton did right or wrong? Ego off the court for accomplishments 25 years ago. He needs to own his limitations and move on. Clearly Kobe is running things which is comedy on a whole other level.

It’s because Magic did this to Lakers ability to get FAs without LeBron doing the work for them now.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

It is clear that Lue was who LeBron wanted as coach.

FIFY

I remember insisting that Carter, Jamison, and Pierce were the 3 best players in the draft. Obviously I didn’t know about Dirk. I was convinced that I knew more than some of these GM’s since they let Pierce slide so far(10?) and since Vince and Jamison went 4 and 5(I think).

It’s a deep draft. I mean solid role players galore like Al Harrington, Ruben Patterson, Nazr Muhammad, and Rashard Lewis were drafted outside of the lottery.
Along with Stephen A. Smith’s boy Rasho Nestervic.

It was a loaded draft.
The Celtics did cartwheels when Philly took Larry Hughes. Dirk’s book mentioned the Celtics were one of his teams he thought he would draft him and once Hughes went 8th the Celtics were going to get one of Dirk or Pierce.
Now Dirk is a better player alltime but Pierce is loved in Boston as the best player since Bird(KG never played in his prime in Boston it’s him)

I want to say there was even a decent number of guys that didn't get drafted that year that had pretty good careers.

Yeah. Rafer Alston had a long, solid career as a 2nd rounder. Cuttino Mobley was a good player and a 2nd rounder. Even someone like Ricky Davis was productive for a late first rounder.

What’s crazy is of all the guys who either barely made it or didn’t make it at all from that draft...I remember almost every one of them. The days when I could name the starting 5 from a random school like Fresno State. Now I can’t even do that for anyone we play except Duke, UNC, and Virginia most years.
