Shabazz is the man lol

But I don't recall ever saying he'd be a starter in the league. I still think he'll be a solid backup in the league, but I thought he would have been playing better by now

yes you did.

And I don't want to overhype a win over Philly too much, but the Celtics have a legitimate playoff chance


Like, we are 2 games out of the 8 seed. We have one of the best benches in the league (ignore the fact that we have one of the 3 worst starting lineups in the league)

We are far closer to the playoffs than we are getting a top 5 pick. So why not push for it?

 

[bosoxlover12]

yes you did.

i don't recall doing it

If I did, show me the post. If i did, I'll admit my homer-glasses got the best of me.

The 8 seed in the East should not be celebrated lol

 

[elcheato]

Idk if bosox ever said he'd be a starter. I just know I got into large arguments about how he would have been a late 2nd rounder if they didnt win the title, and how he wouldn't be a good back up

that's why i never rode the pistons championship run like rip

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Rip was hardcore on that championship run for a good week and a half lol

 

[snipezo]

Demar DePasser is back, it seems.

:turrible:

They're only two games out of the 8 spot.  It could still happen.

If we [UConn] lost in the first round, he would have been an early/mid 2nd rounder. But he carried us to a title, which is why he deserved to be a 1st.


I still think he'd be a good bench player. Think a Ramon Sessions type of player in terms of team role, not play style

 

[Pugz]

that assessment seems kinda right but he sucks. i also think sessions sucks so idk lol

Shabaz Napier: 20 mpg, 5.1 ppg, 37% FG, 37% 3PT, 2.4 apg/1.7 topg 
 
Where you at bosox, I maintained this guy wouldn't even be a good back up, let alone a capable starter

You know whats funny in my 2k mygm that im doing im years ahead by now hes a beast. I dont know how hes like 88 overall i was like wtf!

 

[Rios15]

it's not like austin playing for his dad is a huge move by real fans. so youre good ha. it's more of a fanboy casual fan move

I'm usually on point with knowing this stuff though. I'd say I'm somewhere between casual and fan boy for sure though

 

[RipCity32]

that's why i never rode the pistons championship run like rip

Can you stop putting words into my mouth. I'm getting real sick of it.

They were well on their way to the playoffs until BJ went down.
The only other "homer" claim I've made this year was also saying BJ has changed, which you laughed off too. So quit acting like I'm making outlandish claims. I realize when I was a bit younger I said some stupid ass shit, but I'm not a giant homer the way I used to be. Am I still? Yeah, but anyone who is more than a casual fan is. So stop singling me out like I'm all that's wrong with the Piston fan base when I'm just rooting for my team to succeed.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You did pick Drummond to have a better future than AD lol.

 

[RipCity32]

I said he could, not that he would.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Well you picked him in the poll

 

[RipCity32]

Fair enough, I was obviously wrong.
