Whole lot of Gilbert talk

 

[MVP]

Welp our shelter in place order got extended again until May 15th.

 

[king j]

Didn’t Tristan Thompson beat the breaks off Draymond in a club?

 

[rolaholic]

Welp our shelter in place order got extended again until May 15th.

Yea got extended here temporarily until May 4th at least last week but everyone I talk to including management at work think it's realistically gonna be in place until mid June at least if not until much further down the road.

Kinda why I've gotten to the point where I'd be shocked if seasons were actually allowed to be continued and were able to be finished this year...

Not looking like we'll see even a semblance of a return to normalcy until the last quarter of the year at the very least rn tbh which is when the earliest expert estimates of a vaccine being widely available keep pointing towards

 

[MajinZuub]

My work from home was supposed to end today then on Wednesday got extended until "the foreseeable future"
They were like **** it when it's over it's over

GSW/OKC G6 is on NBATV right now. Halfway through the 3rd quarter. Klay about to go off.

 

[dman14]

beats spending a $$$
let these kids enjoy their shoes without shaming them

 

[ballinsam23]

Well also factor in the knicks organization has been trash for 20 something years. No one should believe in dolan or that franchise.

Regardless of owner, a combination of players of Kyrie/KD caliber can change any franchise around.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Curry: I can drop 60 on ANY team.....

Everyone: looks up career high

Not sure when he made this statement but I'm going to have to halt this misinformation train before it gets started. Let's look at his 50 point games.

He did those in 48, 36, 31, 34, 36 and 37 minutes, respectively. Save for the 48 minute loss against the Knicks (in 2013 mind you) his 50 point point games have come between 31 - 37 minutes in double digit wins. He plays the fourth or those games are tight and he's hanging 60.

Ya'll shouldn't be dishonest and let your hate for Steph blind you.

How many Finals MVP for this light skin Mo Williams?

Much like Bron when he foolishly said this...

“If you give me 37 shots in a game, I’d have 60...70,” LeBron said, per ESPN's Tom Haberstroh.

Reporters laughed, but LeBron wasn't kidding.

"I had [almost] 40 now with 18 shots, I mean.... If you give me 37 shots in a game, I’d put up 60," he explained. "Easy."

We saw him actually take 33 shots a game in the 2015 finals and only average 36 points on the worst percentages in his career.

All talk until it actually happens, we have no ocular proof.

 

[ballinsam23]

How many Finals MVP for this light skin Mo Williams?

With this logic. Andre Iguodala is better than 95% of wings in the NBA.

 

[B Sox]

Wiggins/Paschal/Future Pick for Goober?

That's a great point, other than the fact that he scored 61 points on 33 shots shortly after he said that.

Maaannn. This brought back memories. Years ago I was the money guy for my boy's bachelor party in AC meaning that I was responsible for the banking and acquiring all the $1 bills then everyone just Venmo'd me their share. I was going to transport and bring the money to the strip club in a cardboard box ala Drake but instead copped that Jordan suitcase off eBay instead Definitely still got that in storage somewhere.

Did anyone in here cop when they originally released?

I did.

My mother was travelling to the States right around the time these dropped, gave her the money and she was able to cop for me.

Used the suitcase to store my PS2 games. Still have it at my parents' house.

The fact that some literally are taking the number 60 literally

I got all 3 back in 2002.

 

[darthska]

Just the white/red for me. Still got them, still rock them.

This man would beg to differ with Wardell
