Chicago defenders getting exposed by young legendary 76ers point guards 20 years and running.... I see no differences here to be honest

Why is the pic from the 90s cleaner than yesterday's image?

so the timing of this isn't weird to anyone else..... its made up care by the nba & its a knee jerk decision because if it was an issue it would've been addressed the VERY NEXT DAY just like the dumb "oh xyz call was wrong by official #4 in last nights game but the outcome will remain the same even tho this call would've had a huge effect on the actual outcome"

what was the delay based on?

tapes had to clear customs back from mexico & then someone had to open them & remember to care about it & save face a week or so later???

In the game officials’ report used as part of the NBA's investigation – which includes details provided to Yahoo Sports from National Basketball Referee's Association general counsel Lee Seham – Kennedy and fellow referee Ben Taylor described Rondo's post-ejection diatribe as including the statements: "You're a mother------- ******. … You're a f------ ******, Billy."

The three officials – Kennedy, Taylor and Adams – confirmed those reports in taped interviews conducted by NBA security on Dec. 4, Seham said.

Under typical NBA procedure in these cases, the league had two independent experts review the tapes of the confrontation, and they confirmed the referees' accounts on Rondo's language. This was part of the reason why the league took more than a week to make a ruling on Rondo's punishment.

we need to get that coach of your's fired first tho.... they should go ahead & lay an egg against the bulls n that will def do it

Naw, need to fire some of these front office people. Joerger is cool in my book. I can't fault him for being stuck with this old group and the FO not being willing to give him the players to fit the system he wants. He struggles with rotations at times, but I think he has some good tendencies. At least he took a big step forward by benching Zbo and TA to force some change.

its been awhile but they never had to worry about it cause big baby was on the squad and would be last on purpose.

man lakers giving up all three youngsters for gasol and conley doesnt make sense.

like i alluded earlier, the ref coming out of the closet is sort of irrelevant. he has his reasons. those reasons may or may not have anything to do with rondo's verbal attack (though they most likely appears to be that way). if his reason(s) was to bring attention to the homophobic slurs being directed at him by rondo it doesn't take away from the seriousness of this issue and it certainly doesn't make kennedy some kind of grandstanding dude who's just seeking attention. it's not on him. it's all on rondo

is that you adam silver...... that's bs



timing is everything in this day

why is "pulling a power move" and bringing added coverage to an issue like this seen as a bad thing?


progress will never happen without power moves 

hell nah if he was upset he could've voiced his opinion in mexico not a week later

what difference would that have made? 

yeah someone says something to purposely offend me
i get offended & bring attention to it
and everyone looks at me like i'm the one who did something wrong
while the person who offended me is forgotten about

what kind of mindset is that??

sounds like your problem in this case is with gay people having a bit of self-determination

referring to bill kennedy as a flamer on the previous page was enough to get your stance on things

It does if their plan is to win as soon as possible. You have to consider they can probably bring in more FA talent with Conley / Gasol being there as complementary players more so than young guys who haven't even hit their prime yet. A star looking to win would go to LA with two established players before going to a rebuilding team.

 

[tomdiginson]

Honestly

The timing is all bs.....

This happened a week ago in Mexico right

He's been 1/2 out the closet for years since basically everybody in the NBA knew

But you feel the need to come out now????

Why not last yr when Plamer the female ref came out why not piggyback then... Or it was all planned to wait this long between them coming out & the rondo thing just kinda happened [emoji]128528[/emoji]

hell nah if he was upset he could've voiced his opinion in mexico not a week later

Keep spitting FACTS.

conley/gasol is better than everybody in a lakers uni right now fam... all bs aside

having a tru PG & a low post force to pair with sometimy hibbert,lu will,kobe & swaggy could be extremely decent.... 1000% better than whats currently happening

 

[nick.]

Conley needs to be a Knick next season

 

[Lovetohate3000]

kobe is not in any plans beyond this year  and that team still wouldnt be a contender. im against it. im fine with the total rebuild.

I disagree they would be a 7/8 contender... which is better than the current .....fighting for the best of the bottom of the pole

Even if you were to add a big time FA this offseason with the current players on that team, your chances of winning the West is still slim. Add a big time FA to Conley / Marc and your chances increase. You would probably need to sign two big name players with your current roster to truly have a shot. I just know we can't get a big time FA to come here with Conley / Marc, but I'm sure LA can.

not at all cap... I knew your aim from jump with your "your so weak" statement this am(8 ish) on a post I did at 4:50pm yesterday

I don't have a problem w/ gays ....as I recently heard dave Chappelle say I cant do anything but commend them for getting the respect they've been wanting in such a short time because my race has been trying to get that for thousands of years & still don't have it to this day....so ill def tip my cap in that respect but what I don't rock w/ is lame power moves or doing something to "go viral"/get attention & that's exactly how I feel this is. I see all that it had to go thru this & that person & that's why it took a week ok ill buy that, hes suspended now so that's finished. but now his coming literally the rest of the way out the closet shouldn't spark up ppl's pitchforks for more equality on an already tipped scale. rondo shouldn't be the target practice for this cause since bill thought this week was a good week to step out the closet he hasn't been in for years.

And he had the nerve to report me for calling him an idiot. Lulz.

be serious whoever you are... I haven't EVER reported anyone in the NBA thread so get ya lies in order plz

They are showing Kobe's first 50 point game from 2000 against the Warriors 

I was a little surprised it took him that long to get 50

 

[bronconation24]

I really hope lakers do that trade [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]. Like how does that make the lakers better. Once you trade away anyone that still produces testosterone, you get back gasol and Conley. With Kobe for half a year. And then what. What free agent would come there. You can't win with just a big 3 anymore.

 

[trynafeelmink]

From ESPN Insider:

Thorpe mentioned a Gasol / Conley trade idea that would basically send those two to the Lakers for Russell, Randle, Clarkson and a future 1st round pick.

I'm surprised those two would have that much value and I would make that trade quickly.

I would be forced to do damage to LA's front office if that EVER happened :x :x

when you think about it though . is 50 that impressive . it isnt to me . brewe, tony delk , dana barros, tracy murray  .... all have dropped 50 ...

 

[bhzmafia14]

Conley / Durant / Gasol and possibly another FA not enough to put the Lakers in contention status? Not to mention they could possibly somehow keep their pick this year?

I believe that'll be the only reason LA makes that deal. It just helps them become contenders quicker if they are able to lure in the free agents. Its not going to happen with their current group within the next 1-2 years unless they get extremely lucky.
