if Amar'e can start of playing really well and move up to #4, how come Durant starts off slowly yet somehow becomes the #3 player in the league?

i still post on RSZ because i like the community, but i rarely go there to talk sports... the quality is not what it used to be on CTS. i prefer posting here over RSZ now, because of the sports discussion here. you're so cool man

i much prefer Association. i'm 42-9 now... Dwight Howard's broken his [expletive]ing ankle and is out 6-8 weeks though :angry: managed to beat Boston thanks to Ray Allen missing the GW... but i'm in grave danger of losing that #1 spot which i really don't wanna do.

Swag is a mental disorder that prevents the sufferer from speaking proper English. They often ramble on about stuff that makes no sense. Example: Person A: Hey man, how's your swag going? Person B: SHAWTY BE SHAKIN [expletive] Person A: Yeah, cool. Umm, I need to go... Person B: You can't see me cash [expletive].

what does that have to do with anything?

in 1986 the NBA had only 23 teams, and it didn't die. you're exaggerating a lot. it doesn't mean less talented players whatsoever, the league would have a higher average talent level because these 11th/12th men wouldn't make it. and i fail to see how a hard cap encourages earlier retirement. if players are good enough to play at a high level, a team will pick them up. someone like Manu would impress in summer leagues and training camp, make a team, play well in limited minutes and gradually work his way to becoming an all star talent. they still had an 82 game schedule in the 80s when there was teams in the low-20s. the NBA would make less money from games, but interest as a whole would increase due to more talented teams, and the draft could be increased to 3 rounds. plenty of other leagues have a hard cap, and they don't die. i'm not saying put a $50 million hard cap, keep it to around $90-100 million (or whatever the cap is supposed to be now) the NBA would not fold or die at all, because people aren't going to all of a sudden decide that they don't like basketball anymore. the NBA is the biggest league in one of the most popular sports around the globe, so unless millions of people decide that Basketball is a bore it will not die.

i don't agree with having '4 Hall-Of-Famers' on the same team, but i like his idea. i've given this a little bit of thought, and i think the NBA should reduce the number of teams to 24, and reduce the playoffs to an NFl type format. maybe 2 divisions within each conference. The top seed in each division is awared a 'first round bye', and then the 2nd and 3rd seed in each division competes to face the #1 seed in a 'wild card' type round... idk, just an idea. but in order to do this, you would have to find out the average attendance from the last decade for each NBA team, and just simply say 'Goodbye' to the bottom 3 in each conference. of course the NBA would have to take into consideration the teams history, cutting teams such as the Celtics would do more harm than good, although i really doubt they're in the bottom 3 for attendace. i understand the NBA is a business, but at the same time the primary purpose (other than to make profit) is to entertain. the league will be more marketable if there are stronger teams, and the league will be more competitive. next has to do with the up and coming CBA. if the league impliments some sort of hard cap. [expletive] luxury tax, there's a hard cap that you can't go over. any teams who are currently over the hard cap right now can stay above it and continue to pay luxury tax, but should be unable to resign any of their players or take on any salary untill they are under the hard cap. this will stop certain teams with owners who are willing to spend be more competitve than teams with stingy owners, and as a result the league will be much more even, and as a result the games will be more competitive. with a hard cap, players will naturally begin to take less money, so the Owners get what they want (although to keep the players happy Stern should strongly consider removing the age limit). it shouldn't be any harm, these players are overpaid anyways. and with less money comes less 'spoiled brat syndrome'. i know i rambled on a bit, and i went a little off topic, and it's unrealistic and chances are i get ripped to shreds and blah blah blah, but i'm a lonely guy with nothing better to do.

:lol:

new clothes, new bball shoes, a punchbag, a new phone and a certain woman. probably gonna get 2/5.

gotten 2 Ds (first one i expected because i hated the class and didn't try, second one a C was the highest grade i could possibly get so a D isn't too bad, still would've liked a C though) but never actually failed.

he's also been blocked on every inside attempt

this is absolutely [expletive]ing ridiculous. why do you fine AND bench a guy for a harmless bit of clowning the other team. NB-pussAy.

:lol:
