Cause they got there and found out **** wasn’t really popping. Why go back?

The moon landing was just the US stylin on the USSR

Since there's no more cold war space race there's no competitive reason to invest billions of dollars in another moon trip. Plus the sights are set on mars now.

Rest of the season.

Yikes

 

[B Sox]

He's basically the same case as Wes Matthews. Would need to move him for another expiring contract, unless they can get somebody in return that would be a good fit with Luka and DSJ long-term.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Lack of defense has allowed rookies to come in and put up stupid numbers out the gate. Silver need to bring back hand checking or some ****

 

[blastercombo]

Three way tie for top dysfunctional team in the league between the Cavs, Wizards and T'Wolves. I'm unsure who finishes first by season's end. Too close to call.

Meh it’s clear the wolves are the only team with legit dysfunction. The other 2 are just trash

 

[wavycrocket]

How bout the “young boul” Sexton huh? . Barbershop favorite. He scowled, he’s tough.

Yeah ard!!! Tra3Way bish

Meet the new Wes Matthews: KCP. I don't think la has the salary to trade for dj without a 3rd team but it would make a lot of sense

Legit don't remember who but I remember it happening

Can't shoot, pass, or defend.

He's a young player on a bad team so I won't write him off yet but...

 

[8pm at msg]

Clapping on defense, scowling when you score and mean mugging people during dead balls get you a long way in sports

"Bullying" in the NBA is dead. You legit cannot play tough defense anymore unless your name is Draymond. If your not elite like a Kawhi, Roberson, Bradley, and to a lesser extent Ntilikina your toast with these new rule changes.

3rd team would definitely be involved because there's no way in hell they'd take back Rondo in a trade, which would be necessary

Obviously would be an incredible get for the Lakers.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Still have some faith in Sexton

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Trae has been great in 3 games and garbage in 6. Yall always gloss over all the trash moments

That feel when trae is better than lonzo already

He was definitely a barbershop favorite after this

As a rook, there are going to be more trash moments than good

If you still have a lot of good moments that look elite, that carries more weight for trajectory

So....if you’re not good enough on defense, you can’t play?

I see all the good defenders doing just fine. Klay Thompson had Devin Booker bottled up the other night. Forced that man into 9TOs and multiple jump balls. We just saw embiid literally BULLY Drummond . Even online bullied him to ad extra to it.

Skill gap increase. Love it.

Huh

 

[B Sox]

Can we make something like this happen? Is Chandler's buyout official yet? PHX probably has to add a pick of some sort.

I get that but I'm saying that's been his MO for a while now. He'll play like trash then he'll have an outstanding game that brings his numbers up to somewhat respectable. Like right now he's shooting 43% and 32%, that's buoyed by two games (against Cleveland) where he shot 56% and 69%. So when you look at his game logs it's trash, trash, trash, WOW, trash trash trash, OMG. It's boom or bust with him, usually bust. Maybe those wows will start to take over, I don't know
