played basketball at the ymca i belong to tonight, and i was playing pretty well, i went up for a layup and some dude came outta nowhere like 6'4" 210 lbs and nailed my thumb against the bottom of the backboard. it hurt at first, but i was more concerned and pissed that he blocked my shot. 5 minutes later, looked down and my entire thumb is covered in blood. i was like WTF...lol it doesn't even hurt, and never really did hurt, but i'm just not sure how it started bleeding in the first place. like he pushed my thumb against the bottom of the backboard, but it like he didn't 'cut' me, it was bleeding from under my nail... oh well i guess

He's not that bad...he gets a bad wrap for the most part as far as his personality, attitude, etc. I've never heard of any teammate complaining about him and he played hard every game last season for us.

Robinson is the most underrated prospect in the lottery... Blows my mind people continue to talk (outside of Davis) about Beal, Barnes, MKG, etc. but it seems no one discusses Robinson. I was watching that ESPN FIrst Take "Draft Special" with Bayless, Ford, and Stephen A. They never talked about Robinson in the entire hour! SMH, they sleepin on my boy!

Can't believe Amar'e took the time to DM that fan and say that, lol. I don't even blame Amar'e cuz [expletive]as be coming at him from all different angles. But at the same time, it's like dude, you must get 100's of those a week man, chill

lol can u blame em

Yeah...I agree. I think if we could make a deal to get into the late first round, that'd be awesome. That'd be great...but it'd obviously be for a second rounder. Don't believe a team is stupid enough to acquire him for a #1. Fields is a major problem on this team. He's an average defensive player (somewhat slow for the 2 position, although he does have size), and he's just an awful shooter and foul shooter. He's really probably one of the worst starting two guard's in the NBA. Lol. I like the guy, cool personality, and classy guy who will play hard but he just isn't a very good basketball player. Off the bench he could add some size and depth, but as a starter, it's a major problem IMO.

And it's not going to happen in Houston with that roster, either. He'd need another star or two around him to be able to ever even discuss championship.

Not bad for Charlotte. Their main goal should be putting a competitive team on the floor next season. By competitive I mean watchable. I think Gordon can help.

Yeah that shit is dumb easy. last semester i took two online classes. the one was pschyology which was layed out easily by the professor. got an A in that one by logging on twice a week for 20 minutes each time. the other was intro to news writing, which was kind of cool since i'm considering journalism as my major. it wasn't layed out as easily, and the shit got kind of confusing, i thought i was [expletive]ed at one point, but still ended up with a B...showed how damn easy that blackboard shit is

That's fine. As long as we get him back I'll be happy. If we return with Lin, Novak, and Smith...I think that's our best option. Nash would be nice, same with Ray Allen, but both are extremely unrealistic IMO.

is it blackboard?

Yeah , I agree. I have no confidence in Felton at all at this stage in his career. He's been pretty inconsistent since he left NY...Kidd or Nash would absolutely be great...Crawford, don't think he'd do us much. Although, I guess he's an upgrade at SG over Fields. And Grant Hill, eh, he's really a risk at this stage of his career. Allen would be interesting with the Knicks. He may be worth bringing in just for his veteran presence and leadership qualties after playing Boston. He may be able to get Melo/Amar'e to work together better... Plus, on the court Allen still does have something to offer, and he'd start, which I'm sure he wants to do at this point in his career.

Pierce without Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett didn't do anything, anywhere, either... It's still Pierce though. Pierce, IMO, has always been a very underrated player. He isn't flashy at all, but he seems to always hit a big shot when the Celtics need him to. He's also been an underrated defensive player, and plus, he's won a Championship, so that's obviously a huge plus in Pierce's favor when comparing the two. Carmelo still has a chance to go down as one of the best ever...his only problem is somewhat similar to LeBron's...his playoff success. If Carmelo can put 2-3 years together where they make strong playoff pushes, or hell, maybe one year ACTUALLY win a NBA Finals, I think he's right up there with some of the best players to ever play the game, at least at his position.

THIS.

Agreed with everything above. SMFH at people saying you don't do this during the game? Why? the game was clearly over at this point...the teams took their stars out with like 3 or 4 minutes left!

Hopefully doesn't get overturned. Knicks need Lin/Novak next year to be any good...Knicks lacked many three point shooters (Fields, Shumpert, Smith so inconsistent on their shooting)

Lol at Elton Brand. I actually didn't even know Brand was a number one overall pick. Why on Earth would anyone ever take him #1? He'd be a great pick at like #10...but #1? SMFH!

He also said he had a victory party planned for when they beat the Giants. http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/21749447.jpg

That's cool Carolina got two Staal's now. Lol Can't wait to go to some Carolina - NYR games this upcoming season. Arena is 15 minutes from my house, and free tix (hopefully)! :glasses:

I agree for the most part with Simba. Good post. I think he did a fine job, I mean they won the title. Pat Riley seems to think highly of him. I just don't really care for his personality, that's all. His press conferences are clown city with his stupid lingo, and his interviews blow. He tries to act like a big shot (like Riley, Phil Jackson, etc.), and he's not...

If it came down to JR Smith or Steve Nash, I actually think Smith is more valuable. But it's tough to say...Only reason I say that is because Nash is 38, and he's going to slow down eventually. Plus, with Shumpert out, we'd really be limited athletically, especially in the backcourt.

He out coached Brooks, but hard to give Spoelstra much credit. I'm sorry. LeBron James, D-Wade, and Bosh? I'm confident I could get the job done.

[expletive] Battier, he lame as [expletive]

Word. I treid listening to Stalley's mixtape, and it was boring as [expletive]. But his features are a nice touch on this.

That was pretty funny...Skip Bayless really is an idiot for the most part. http://i.qkme.me/35918k.jpg
