Lawful Metal Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Rox dropped one to the Grizzle. Don’t mind losing one to the Grit and Grind, and they should get respect for beating the Rockets and Warriors. Worse news is CP3 is gone for a month and now Ariza has a bruised foot.

Zimbra Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Markelle Fultz agent is saying that he had fluid drained from his shoulders and can't raise his arm to shoot, which raises the question of why the hell the Sixers are playing him at all.

But it's immediate the charge when you get out of that ten or so block radius in any direction (well South you hit the river) age suddenly the buildings are run down. But you have Ford Field, Comerica Park, the Fox Theater, and now Little Cesar's Arena surrounded by nice restaurants and trendy bars. The casinos are just a few blocks over. It's the heart of the attempted revitalization of Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the heart of the attempted revitalization of Detroit. Detroit is one of those cities where the nicest parts of much nicer than you'd expect and the worse parts are way worse than you'd expect. I have some family in Detroit and the contrast between some of the neighborhoods they live in is phenomenal. I have a cousin who lives in a fucking mansion that is as nice of a house as I've ever seen. It is the type of house you'd expect to see in the Hamptons or in Malibu not in Detroit. I also have a cousin who drove me to a party in Detroit and tried to give me a gun before we went in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcosLoura Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I was being facetious guys, I actually find really sad that such an emblematic city like Detroit has been through such harsh times. I don't know how, but I hope all the public investment can revitalize the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 JAEDMC'S LAURI MARKKANEN REPORT 19 Points on 7-12 shooting. 5-8 from three. Becomes the first rookie to hit 10 threes combined in his first three games, which is perhaps the most worthless ESPN style statistic. I like it just because we thought we'd be getting floor spacers in Doug McBuckets, and Nikola and that never happened. NBA thought we deserved a supercut of these 10 threes, and you gotta admit, that stroke is nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 That is beautiful... Perfect form and quick release. I hope it eases the pain caused by the rest of the team. Blake seems to be enjoying being the centrepiece of the Clippers offense. And Donovan Mitchell went from getting laughed at by the Clippers announcers last night at the half to almost single handedly bringing the jazz back from a 21 point deficit.

RandomAct Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Mavs finally get the first W against the Grizz. They looked energetic, lively and FUN. Not shocking that having your 3 best players on the floor leads to good results. DSJ is a fucking star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I really expected the Wizards to beat the shit out of the Lakers tonight after the LaVar bullshit. I did not expect LA to come back, send it to OT and then win with one of the dumbest displays of defense I've seen in a long time. Wizards basically begged LA to score, which they did. On the bright side, Lakers won with not very impressive stats from Lonzo Ball. And I hate saying that, I like him, but ugh, I hate his dad more. EDIT: That replay was something. Ball froze like a statue on that final shot to avoid being called for anything and Wall fell down hoping for the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 JAE'S LAURI MARKKANEN WATCH. Bulls won their first game over the Hawks. Markkanen with his secon double double. 14 points. 13 rebounds. He also hit the ice cold three to put us up by four and the game just out of reach. Coming for that Rookie of the Year Award. Noticeable flaws: I noticed that he wants to handle the ball but he's prone to getting the ball poked out. He's also trying to play defense, but he gets muscled out of position down low. Don't know if he'll ever be able to fix that. OTHER BULLS I actually watched the 4th quarter of this one. It's rough yall. I wish Denzel Valentine was better. He threw some real head scratchers up late. It was like watching a bad Kobe tribute performance. David Nwaba put up 15 pts, 11 rebounds. Apparently he gets asked who the hell he is so much, that he wrote an article for The Players Tribune title WHO IN THE WORLD IS DAVID NWABA? https://www.theplayerstribune.com/david-nwaba-nba/ Mirotic is apparently open for trades. I say keep him, justas a punching bag buffer between Portis and the new Four God, Lauri Markkanen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just watched the Boogie highlights. Great stuff. I really want him and Anthony Davis to work out. As this era is more focused on small ball and electric point guards, I just want to see a couple of hoss players get together and dominate. The rebounds were ridiculous. It's like no one even bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
