I remember the Shaun Livingston one. It was one of the rare Clippers games I watched and I was paying attention at the time. I normally watch sports while multitasking with something else.

76ers tried to say Fultz missed 1 or 2 pre season games due to a knee problem. Watching him tonight his knee is fine. His shoulder is fucked. How many jump shots has Fultz hit in the last 3 weeks? its a # somewhere close to zero.
if an NFL team is looking for an offensive lineman they should consider Gortat. a couple of drives by Wall i thought the Wizards were running a sweep.

DETROIT, MI - Eminem made a surprise appearance at the first Detroit Pistons game in Little Caesars Arena history.
The Detroit rapper helped pump up the crowd just before the opening tip-off between the Pistons and the Hornets on October 18, 2017.
"Welcoming back, for the first time in almost 40 years to our city, to my city, to your city, make some noise for the Detroit Pistons! Let's go!"
Also on hand for the season opener were Detroit rapper Big Sean and Kid Rock. The crowd actually booed Rock when he appeared on the scoreboard.
The Pistons beat Charlotte 102-90.
Eminem pumps up Pistons crowd with surprise opening night appearance
wooo, good way to start the season lol

The really concerning thing about that graphic was that he was 65% at Washington. This is a guard? I was told he was the best shooter of the major picks. The "bad shooter" Fox was 73%

Man, what is up with all these super early injuries.

It's a pro-Cavs conspiracy. First Heyward, now the Brooklyn pick will be 1337
|
Hayward can play on the new LoL team the Cavs owner just bought.
EDIT: hey the thread title got fixed!
i like Norman Powell just as much as the next guy... but as a play maker... he turns the ball over A LOT.
|
Beverley terrorized Ball all night long... Ball shouldn't feel so bad. Beverley is either the best or 2nd best defensive PG in the NBA.
|
I'd like to see Ball take a gap year to work on his body (like Ingram should have done last year) and only play like 30 games. Ingram needed to work on strength, and ball needs to work on just about everything, and its too hard to do that playing 82 games.
If he doesn't get faster and stronger it won't matter how smart he is. It looks like he's playing against an older brother where he's already gone through the growth spurt, but is still clumsy, slow, and weak.

You're talking crazy as usual, using bad examples as defense.

The World is not viable for many reasons. i've named a few. As I eluded earlier, the game would not be close. I'll amplify that point further: Last year 2 non-Americans made the AllStar game and were given token minutes. So legit American players who should be in the AllStar game will be turned away as we watch guys like Corey Joseph weave their magic and "The World" gets its face smashed in. ya man, great concept. thanks for the laugh. Ross is a career 36% shooter in the playoffs. RJ shot 42% last year.. .bad for him.. but better than Ross. you had your opportunity to criticize RJ's level of play during the 2017 playoffs and declined. my comments about RJ's performance in the 2017 playoffs are still there and they still stand. When it comes to defense there is no comparison. RJ >> Ross. Which is why Lue assigns RJ to cover Durant. You're really just a simple idiot. Here's the discussion: ME: Improve All Star - USA vs. the World. Players will play more competitively because something is at stake (national pride and beating "the best" in the world, respectively), but would be a PR disaster for NBA YOU: Injured players won't play and will just take the day off to heal ME: Well duh!!!. (I'll explain just in case this escaped your moronic lying coward brain. When people say play competitively, the assumption is that you the best players will play, AND THIS ASSUMES THIS PLAYERS CAN AND ARE NOT INJURED. You bringing up resting injured players in an All-Star game is, even considering your previous comments about you watching games live and hiding from challenges when your bullshit is called, and you bragging about your scout uncle, a record level idiot love. Is it clear now?) YOU: Tendonitis. Bursitis. Verbal diarrhea. Verbal Gonorrhea, More motherfucking bullshit. Just shut the fuck up you lying coward idiot. PS: And I won't even comment on your statement about RJ guarding Durant. Yeah, that was a good strategy. personal attacks are an invalid form of argument. Yes they are if they are a direct conclusion of your statements,
specifically, you are liar because:
- you said jumping mechanics shortened Kobe's career (lol), and hurt those of Rose, Embiid, etc.
- you said you have an uncle who is a scout, and watching live gives you more knowledge about the game
- you use statistics that you do not understand
and you are a coward because:
- when JimmiC challenged you about team standing after you boast about team knowledge, you hide in embarrassment
- when xwoGworwaTsx challenged you about sports analytics after you go on and on about statistics, you disappear, humiliated that someone who knows what he is talking about calls out your bullshit
- when I challenged you about landing mechanics, you dodge and spew out more incoherent nonsense.
So you see, calling you a liar and a coward are not irrelevant ad homs, but they are reasonable and logical conclusion anyone would make after reading your posts. RowdierBob has the correct response to you, nobody cares. So I will follow everyone else here that is not your alt and just avoid you like a plague.

I wanna see Ball flounder, though admittedly, it has relatively little to do with him as a player.

sry guys, i'm going to go off topic and talk about last night's basketball games. NBA League Pass is free until October 24th so i can watch every game "on demand" fast forwarding through the BS. Its awesome.

Beverley is really damn good man. Beverley terrorized Delon Wright of the Raptors in Pre-Season and made Wright look about as bad as Beverley made Ball look last night. Wright looks decent against average defenses and tore the Chicago defense to shreds last night.
Ball needs to improve but I wouldn't read too much into him getting schooled by Beverley last night. I would've paid to see the look at his dad's face last night. I'll give his old man credit he is a top notch troll for getting me this interested.
We're going to get to see Beverley and Ball go at it several times this year it'll be interesting to see how Ball adjusts next game. I think Beverley is going to chew him up and spit him out again.
i didn't see 1 picture of the dad the entire game.
i question Ball's penchant for gathering up rebounds very close to his own hoop and carrying the ball 50+ feet. I suspect the Lakers are going to change that aspect of their offense.
EDIT: WOW, what a dumb move by old man Ball. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21086902/lavar-ball-fires-back-patrick-beverley-presumed-shot-lonzo-ball
