  1. Lakers fans have been saying they're 2-3 years away for like 5 years now. They suck now and they will in the future, PG isn't about to change that. Dude does some nice things on the court, but there are levels to this game and he's not up there with LBJ KD Kawhi. Suggesting the Lakers will be good with their immature "stars" is ridiculous. You also act like Indiana's just going to be happy to lose PG and take scraps from LAL in return. Any deal for PG is going to take at least Ingram, Randle, and picks if Indiana is going to take Mozgov's contract back.
  2. Lacklustre show so far, hopefully Jinder gets this win.
  3. If we trade Tanev we should try to get a pick in the 2018 1st round. A lot more quality defensemen available no matter where we pick.
  4. I'm so happy Steve Kerr came back this year, what a gem.
  5. Interesting that they decided to walk Donaldson but not Bautista at the end of the eighth.
  6. Same can be said for Kevin Love lol.
  7. Why would we want the rights to Nichuskin? This is pretty much Tanev straight up for a player that probably won't come back to the NHL...
  8. Tournament seems awfully short this year.
  9. Kyrie really let the Cavs down this series. A lot of bad possessions and trying to force plays when he should've let LBJ do the work.
  10. India with one hell of a performance against South Africa.
  11. Again, he didn't play with all the best players, he made them the best team. All of those 8-10 teams had 2 or more Hall of Famers on them when Bill faced them in the playoffs and he still beat them. Also, those 11-14 games for championships weren't cakewalks like the first and second rounds of modern NBA playoffs.
  12. He was in the average height for centres at that time. Celtics team was struggling harsh before he was drafted and struggled after he retired. He played against man to man on offensive studs like Wilt, Macauley, and Pettit and help defense (which hardly existed for centres in the NBA before Bill showed up) on West, Baylor, and The Big O. There may be a larger quantity of competition but the quality Bill faced and beat on a nightly basis for most of his career is far above either Jordan or Lebron. Neither Jordan nor Lebron would be able to survive the physicality of the league during those times either.
  13. Are they better than he ever was though? Both combined don't have as many championships as he does at every level of the game. You also have to take into account that Bill s body took much more intense beatings as a centre with worse travel and recovery methods than seen in later eras. Blocks were barely recorded back then and there's a good chance he was a triple double machine for most of his career.
  14. Bill won multiple high school state championships and NCAA championships as well as being the first black NBA coach in much more troubling times for black athletes. Dude broke so many barriers it's not even fathomable. Imagine what Bill could've achieved if he wasn't consistently caught up in racial controversies. He regularly shut down Bob Pettit, Ed Macauley, and Wilt Chamberlain in their playoff confrontations. Extremely tough to look at his legacy and consider someone else the GOAT. There's a reason it's the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP Award.
  15. Imagine leaving this draft with Hischier and Pettersson.
  16. Would probably have time to get his cardio to where it needs to be tbh. Even then I think beating Hunt would've probably been his peak. Maybe could beat Ngannou.
  17. Wonder how he would've done if he wasn't fighting 4 times a year tbh.
  18. Supposedly the DJ card didn't do well in ratings at all.
  19. Was torn on the main event last night. Love the Super Samoan but Derrick Lewis was looking really dangerous and the first exciting HW contender in a while. The legend of Mark Hunt continues!
  20. So? The only reason to keep Virtanen is that his asset value couldn't be any lower.
