Correction--game picks will be Saturday through Friday. I generally have Saturday mornings off thanks to my new gig so this should be doable.
12/5:
GSW @ Toronto
Cleveland @ Miami
Charlotte @ Chicago
Portland @...
I've said this for years--being willing to uproot somebody's life for pretty much no reason is kind of Daryl Morey's schtick. He'll acquire guys with short effectiveness life spans and then not resign them the following year. Or, he'll go through all the work of acquiring Houston's two best...
They always called him the "glue guy" for a reason. Losing him didn't look awful at first but now it's obvious there isn't a backcourt leader in that locker room. Dwight's leadership is obvious with the other players. He's always teaching and always talking to people between whistles., but...
Sorry for not keeping up with this too much, dudes. Crazy stress level lately. I'll try update this tonight or tomorrow and post Wednesday through Saturday matchups.
Man, did the Steelers ever get boned by the officials in Seattle. So many terrible calls and one disastrous non-call on Sherman in which they could have called two different penalties on him.
73 with the way they demolish even good teams would actually be better than anything. They'd all get plenty of rest and would be in the kind of rhythm we've never seen before.
Unless somebody figures out away to stay glued to Steph and make everybody else beat them, who's going to knock off...
Playing the "what if" game is too easy, though. I mean, we could trace back through many organizations and find other happenings in the NBA that led to something fortunate for that team.
Not saying you're wrong, but it's the nature of the game. Has Dwayne Wade retired by now if LeBron never...
I've been watching them this season because the Rockets are so dreadful. He's not great at PG--you're right. His best stats come at the 2 WITH Rubio out there, but Rubio is never healthy for any considerable stretch of time. I think Minnesota will be forced to continue to play him at the 1 and...
Minnesota was a dump because McHale and Kahn made some seriously bad draft picks. I mean, imagine if they'd kept OJ Mayo and didn't ditch him for Kevin Love?
Jonny Flynn
Wesley Johnson
I mean, it just gets worse. AND they had traded for Chandler Parsons at one point but threw him back to...
I've played plenty of basketball in my life, even though I had more of a football build (I liked basketball much more). At any other level but the NBA they call what Chris does an offensive foul. It is not part of the game at all. Pump faking and forcing contact on a shot? Driving and...
Of all the people to say that play isn't dirty...you? Really?
It's not meant to be dirty, no, but it is not a basketball play, and in that sense it creates an unnecessary risk for the unexpecting player. Because of that, it is absolutely a dirty play.
