That’s all fine and well, but Giannis was like the 15th pick that year, so 14 teams “passed” on Giannis, who wasn’t really a huge prospect at the time.  Cleveland took Anthony Bennett first, who’s turned into nothing.

Hows burneko handling this?

So I click on this article and expect to read about some hot-headed redass (like Bumgarner-lite), and here it is some rook going on in a complimentary way about his 37 year old foe, and saying how he wants to be the best.  This is bad reporting Tom.  

Very possible.  I’m pretty sure at some point this guy has been teammates with Ricky Henderson.

According to his B-F page, he’s 24, which I’m calling bullshit on.  That dude has been toiling in the minor leagues since 1998, give or take.

“And then there’s this: Marcus Smart returned Monday night, which is a genuine lift for the Celtics.”

Minus Brogdon, but plus George Hill. Hill has integrated into the team really well, and has probably at this point become the second most important player. Maybe not 2nd best player, but definitely 2nd most important player. Hill is so veteran savvy and plays tough D, protects passing lanes, has great court…

The best part about this is Burneko  continuing to gush about the unstoppable, amazing starting 5 of the sixers.  I don’t think he’s even considered the possibility that the Bucks (or Raptors) could be the east representative in the finals, instead of the sixers at this point yet.

This post is aging well.

I mean he’s definitely partly correct.

I’m not even sure what you’re mad about bro....

I think changing your identity and reacting to one loss (even a spanking that they took in game 1) by just overhauling everything is just really unwise.  You won 60 games and were almost +10 during that time by being this version of yourselves, you don’t change that after one game.  That’s knee-jerk reactionary.  

I do understand he apologized. I take issue with someone saying it was an “accident”. You dont say that word by accident. You may say it and not mean it. But it’s not like he meant to say “manger” and he said n****r instead. That would be an accident.

I’ll give you the “Death to all Jew” things as a smack to the media, but I don’t know anyone that has ever dropped an N-bomb by “accident”.  I drop things like my wallet or keys by accident, but not the N-Bomb.

For a variety of reasons that multiple people have already stated above....

It’s not a bad decision.  If he misses, they go to overtime, and they’re still winning the series 3 games to 1.  

Watching watching the Pistons flop around like said babies who were told to clean their rooms was just downright fucking embarrassing. I thought flops were fined in the NBA now?

This is super wrong. And laughable.

At least in this one, an official doesn’t blatantly kick her in her obviously destroyed leg.

So........ the question nobody wants to ask..... What did the judges score the routine?????
