a minute later... Lowry gets into it with Crowder again. Kyle Lowry is the Brad Marchand of the NBA or maybe Marchand is the Lowry of the NHL. Once again my internet connection is great and every stream of my paid SportsNet subscription is working except for SportsNet1. SN1 has the Raptor game on it. As a result, I'm watching a pirated stream... again. I'm glad its easy to pirate this stuff.. Rogers needs to quit whining about piracy if they can not supply a solid stream that its paying customers pay them to provide. | ||

Rondo, Ingram, McGee and Hart all looked good in these 2 games. They're not a contender team this year because they have glaring flaws but they have to develop their own brand of fun winning basketball to make a run at a ship next year. I hope Lebron doesn't become too frustrated in the tough moments they're surely going to have :D. He can check out in the regular season and turn it up in the playoffs but his team often cannot at that point, they have to be united all the way. | ||

I think LBJ knows what he signed up for, and he is going to enjoy the year with lower expectations than title or bust. He also is doing a ton of documentaries, TV shows, so on. I think he is going to have a fun year. | ||

I'm not saying it's not effective, just not very fun to watch. Rondo, Ingram, McGee and Hart all looked good in these 2 games. Should LBJ surrender some of his responsibilities on offense it'll be interesting to see if his regular season defense improves. He was in coast mode on defense for 25+ minutes a game last year. | ||

Those orgs are now running scared and looking to use any employee they can as a sacrificial lamb to prove they have "zero tolerance" for sexual misconduct. | ||

Lowry is like... I dunno, the Zack Hyman of the NBA, just bulldog determination keeping him in places his raw talent shouldn't allow him to be. A better comparison is Stroman in the MLB. | ||

Stroman is a whiner and short like Lowry.. i'll give you that! Is Stroman good enough to be on the US National Team? Stroman does get ejected and does really get into it with umpires. | ||

Butler was vociferous and emotional at times, targeting president/coach Tom Thibodeau, general manager Scott Layden and teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, league sources said. He had not practiced with the team so far this season after requesting a trade three weeks ago… At one point in a scrimmage, sources said, Butler turned to Layden and screamed: “You f—ing need me. You can’t win without me.” Butler left teammates and coaches largely speechless. https://sports.yahoo.com/report-jimmy-butler-returns-minnesota-200127821.html EDIT : Butler just did an ESPN SportsCenter interview talking about what happened today in practice....LOL | ||

Stroman does get ejected and does really get into it with umpires. He was their best pitcher at the last WBC.... Of course, baseball players don't care about the international competition the way hockey players do, but the fact remains... yes. Marchand is chippy like Lowry but also much more naturally gifted in talent. Lowry is dog-headed and probably has to work harder than Marchand to be as good as he is. | ||

People are fast to jump in either direction. I tend to more remember the player x is amazing, dont know why hes backing up star player y, when he is better, comments. I think the west, depending on what happens with butler. Is again much much stronger and will be a god damned thunder dome. | ||

[Woj Tweet]At one point in the Fortnite match, sources said, Tim Duncan turned to his webcam and screamed, "You (bleeping) need me. You can't defend Paradise Palms without me." Duncan left clanmates and Twitch viewers largely speechless. He dominated 50v50 in every way. Timmy's back. i hope the $12 million/year the Raptors gave Powell doesn't prevent them from keeping Delon Wright. Wright is a lot better than Powell. Wright's big issue is that he keeps separating his right shoulder. I think he has separated his shoulder 3 or 4 years in a row. | ||
