Gonna be a long season for the Wizards.

Kuzma has committed three turnovers and an airball in the last four possessions.

Now Rose is getting his number retired? For what?

Miami retired Michael Jordan's number. I don't seem to remember him ever playing for them, but I could be wrong.

Kuz has to be high. He just shot free throw airball.

No way this the reasoning The bulls gave

Retiring his number because the Heat retired Jordan's number is weird as hell

That's not what I was saying. I was alluding to the fact that teams are free to retire numbers for whatever reason they please. I've always found the MJ thing dumb in Miami, mainly because Riley was pushing for his number to be retired league-wide (also dumb because the NBA would never do that like the NHL did with Gretzky's 99). Rose was the the centerpiece of the most relevant Bulls era, post-MJ and through today. He was an MVP. He absolutely deserves it. People have had numbers retired for doing much less.

Again, the criteria for a team retiring one of its jerseys is WHATEVER THE TEAM WANTS IT TO BE. It’s not an NBA award and it’s not the Hall of Fame.

It’s honestly more a marketing/fan service thing than anything else so, IMO, silly to debate whether someone “deserves” it or not.

Guess I’m going to have keep posting this whenever a Jersey retirement gets announced.

He has been looking solid in preseason #

Look at the names of jerseys retired by the Boston Celtics…. They have like 24 retired numbers

For real. Like everyone be serious. He shouldn't go to the HoF either, and, sadly, a guy who won MVP won't go, but there wasn't enough there FOR ME. I will be happy for him when he eventually gets in but be for real. Where are the standards?

 

[finessence]

Them finger waves on a black woman just do it for me! Pat ol’ girl was looking right!

 

[finessence]

He got that JR Giddens/Rodney Carney bounce

Damn. I actually missed this part . I was talking about how angry he seemed at the co-host when talking about the preseason stats and the kings defense….but I didn’t know it got here. Yikes

Yeah that was kinda wild. Man pretty much said they don’t pay me **** and starting telling folks where his cohost lived.

 

[pmatic]

Sam Mitchell too old school to be talking about his money like that on TV.

Moses Moody is ready. I’ve seen enough

Man, you know Kerr is benching this guy.

 

[wavycrocket]

Man, you know Kerr is benching this guy.

At this point, Kerr is going to give into the peer pressure. With Wiggins still dealing with stuff, I say go all in on Moody

Somebody going to be the odd man out tho. Wonder who

They have too many players. But GP2 is always hurt, so that clears room. Think Moody is out of the rotation whenever Wiggins returns from illness.

 

[waukeganwill]

Mfs trippin. Rose should 100% get his number retired.

HoF you can make an argument either way, Idc bout that if he does or doesnt. But a jersey retirement is a no brainer, I cant see how anyone would think otherwise…
