[Vincent Van Goat]

Speaking of Marcus Smart, this dude really gotta lay off eating the booty for a bit

[trynafeelmink]

you really think book was playing with vets?

Go lie down

the Suns are up a full 5 games on the Pels...... I am willing to bet that the Pels end up either tied with them or with a better record by the end of the year

I got 50, you down?

I'll take that.

AGAIN BRANDON INGRAM WAS THE LEADING SCORER ON A TEAM THAT WON 35 GAMES THE SAME YEAR THAT DEVIN BOOKER WON 21 GAMES... BI BEST PLAYERS WERE A ROOKIE LONZO, KUZ & JULIUS RANDLE

So mr on the edge of top 10 had that much of a talent discrepancy that year that a team full of rookies & second year players won 14 MORE GAMES THAN HIM That's the difference between a #1 seed & sitting 13th in the western conference right now for reference

What happened this year??? the same guys ya'll claim are gonna max out as 8th/9th guys & Brook Lopez were such a better supporting cast than the Suns right?

 

[trynafeelmink]

I'll take that.

Nahhh i want the money from the leader of the BookerHive

B. Roy had cartilage deficient/degenerative knees that required like 8 surgeries.

Kawhi's seems to be more manageable with less intensive approaches.

I think cautionary stories exactly like Roy's is why teams are being smarter about chronic/nagging injuries.

I agree teams are being smarter about it which is why I think the way load management is being talked about is obnoxious when it comes to him. He actually needs it. Because I think he actually has a chronic injury. And whether or not it’s the same exact injury as Roy or not I don’t think it can be fixed. He runs like it hurts to run. I think we are already seeing him struggling to play to his full potential in his prime. And eventually cut his career short.

but again I hope I’m wrong. I don’t actually know what he’s feeling but it sure seems like it.

Good article, per usual.

Not in the least bit, If they were still fighting for a playoff spot then maybe... but that's done, I don't see them risking Zion at all.

I just have that little of faith in Devin Booker if i'm keeping it a buck

Fair enough. We'll probably never know until he's retired based on how hush-hush him and his team are. The most we've gotten is "quad" and "patella tendon," which suggests some time of tendinitis (hopefully not degenerative).

I always hated when players were on pace to score like 80 and the coach would say F it and take them out.

A month later he dropped 81. Phil was notorious for doing that though.

I get wanting to see it done but it's just corny to me if your team is already up by a lot & your just running it up... even lamer is when the team is getting smacked & you have a guy trying to set a scoring achievement

 

[N41D]

I love it. They could have had a ready-made rebuild with Zo, Ingram, Hart/Kuzma and some picks but they chose to be petty and short-sighted and set the franchise back several years.

Yeah, they could've totally had the guys that got the Pellies rockin a smooth 7-22 record.

Way better off. For sure.

I hate the visual aesthetic of Brooklyn's court more than anything in sports, I think.

This is just a stupid idea

Still a Large Clipper thread today I see. On the Low ACA has a larger membership than ALA but they don’t wanna admit it

 

[pmatic]

Still not enough.

So dumb. This **** will flame out so fast and we'll be right back to figuring out how to redraw the schedule.
