kelly tripuka would be lighting up today's nba with his great mid range game and stylish perm.

[Deleterious]

Even I can't argue against a stylish perm.  

[Deleterious]

What a bitch

Every draft should be a lottery with all teams having equal opportunity. Why should teams be rewarded for sucking? 

[buddha]

locking lottery positions after march 1 will lead to MASSIVE tanking until february 28.

[Deleterious]

Most anti-tanking ideas are worse than tanking 

[Deleterious]

Pelicans win their 5th game in a row last night.

[buddha]

as long as you have a draft, you will have tanking. 

the purpose of the draft is to distribute the best young talent to struggling organizations.  it still does that.  

[buddha]

i dont mind the idea that a team cant win the lottery two years in a row.  or cant be top 4ish two years in a row.

[Deleterious]

Every consecutive year you are in the lottery, you lose 3 draft spots.

First year in the lottery, you draft wherever the lottery puts you.  Second consecutive year, you get assigned a draft slot by the lottery, then subtract 3 places.  3rd consecutive year in the lottery, subtract 6 spots, 9 spots, etc.

Heads up if you have League Pass.  OKC-SAS tips tonight at 8:30PM

[Deleterious]

Its a blood clot.

 

[Deleterious]

I doubt that shocks anyone.

 

[buddha]

"with an nba return on hold".

bwaaahaaahaaahaaa.  the dude who sat out a year for "mental health reasons" while collecting a $30 million pay check is never coming back to the nba.  check yourself marcus.

even odder, going into Feb 2025, who would have though the Lions would be the only Detroit team not to lead their division for much of their season?

[Deleterious]

I didn't get to watch it, but interesting that OKC lost by 20 to San Antonio.

I watched it. I've been preparing for an OKC dynasty similar to GSW recent run. SAS is going to be right with them if Wemby stays healthy. The Spurs are crazy good. As decent a player as Holmgren is, Wemby is clearly on another level. And Wemby is starting to do some trash talking, which is fun to watch. Very confident player and he definitely backs it up. As soon as that game ended I watched the Pistons. Was impressed by Westbrook. Cade played well but I think he seems a little sluggish recently. I have some concern by the end of the season he may wear down. Harris sort of took over the closer role and it worked. Still seems that Detroit would greatly benefit by adding a legit gritty consistent scorer

Yeah, I think most people just assume San Antonio is a one-man show.  He's obviously their best player, but they have a lot of young talent around him.  I'm looking forward to the rematch tomorrow.

[buddha]

if wemby can stay healthy he'll be a generational player.

yet another gift the league has given to the spurs via the lottery.

[Betrayer]

League should be addressing fouls and referees, not tanking. Fix the game by allowing the defender the right to his space and making it a no-call or offensive foul when the offensive player initiates contact. 

[buddha]

amen, brother.  its infuriating to watch harden simply run right into somebody, fall down, and get the call every time.  brunson too.
