How do players think cap works?

Everything you are saying is right, but calling Cox mediocre is crazy talk.

Haha, as Browning says, a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or else what’s a heaven for? Just replace reach and grasp with delusions and reality.

That all said, I am probably suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Fair enough; as a basketball fan, I’ve enjoyed watching a massive underdog scrape their way against better competition and players given a chance to earn a spot in the league. They are closer in many games than you’d expect (they tended to fall apart in second halves), and the surprise when they can take a…

The original statement wasn’t a basketball assessment, so you’re missing the point.

Fair enough, I shouldn’t pick on Cleveland. Like Philly, gets a shitty rap from people who’ve probably never been there. (For the record I have, but not long enough to form a true opinion.)

Hope you’re enjoying the whole “not being Cleveland” thing we have going on here. Or not.

Really, compatriot? You can always move to Delco, or Cleveland.

“Bated” as in “abate,” not baited.

I don’t even bother anymore. More cool stuff for me.

the most likely scenario is next season he leads some sad sack team to a 35-47 record

You’re right about the key phrase, but also, watching him play when he does get the chance to do certain things, it’s not very inspiring. Plus your end conclusion was basically the same, so I think we’re all watching the same guy: He’s pretty good at a lot of things, but therein lies the myth, and the fallacy of the…

I usually am, after the shouting is over! I hope he can match this WITH Green there and shut me up, because I have no real rooting interests besides avoiding another goddamn double digit ending in these playoffs. (Although last night’s game was closer than the final score indicated.)

I meant quibbling, so good on you for calling me out on that.

You mean when a team loses the heart of their defense, they can perform to the same capacity in limiting the best player in the world? Or are you just mincing words versus “a lot to do” and “almost everything”? Either way, Green’s absence was a big part of Lebron going off, and to believe otherwise is idiotic.

Good response.

The announcer also says it in the clip, @:20 “The second home run of the game for Michelangeli”

Also, I generally like your posts on here. Just want to put that out there for bygones :)

No, it isn’t binary. But you call a kid a shit, when by your own admission, he had done something he had never done in his life and had no possible context for “having been there before” (which is the rallying cry of the Gossages of the world [even though I believe when you say you are not of that ilk]). I’m saying,…
