Dolfan in NYC Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I can't wait to see the backlash from Simmons doing color for the next Lakers/Celtics game. Yes, that is actually happening. They should let him do a live podcast as that game is going on. Letting him and Jalen interview random people walking by would make that game 10,000% more interesting. Who is going to be the best player in the game? Is Gasol even playing? They should let Russell Simmons do commentary. Bill Simmons wouldn't risk walking around in a crowd where someone would ask him why he was complicit in a transgender woman's suicide. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That game is right after the trade deadline. Lakers might have only 5 players left, so they should win that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Noah with a triple double. And Taj Gibson is crushing it as a starter while Boozer is out. I know it would be a big distraction, but I hope Thibs just keeps Taj as a starter when Boozer's leg heals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 ESPN has added a second guy to do NBA mock drafts. Jeff Goodman is now Chad Ford's Todd McShay. Goodman's first mock draft has Marcus Smart sliding all the way down to 14. Also a Bynum-Cavs story via Woj... Before Bynum was thrown out of his final practice and suspended, he was shooting the ball every time he touched it in a practice scrimmage, sources said – from whatever remote part of the court he had caught the ball. Nash only played the first half of last night's game due to nerve root irritation on the leg he broke last year. I can't see him playing beyond this season. I'm not even sure he can finish this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Is there another athlete who has given less of a fuck than Andrew Bynum? There have been plenty of guys who claimed not to give a fuck, or some that tried to convince you they don't give a fuck, but when it comes to actually not giving a flying fuck, Andrew Bynum is in a class by himself.

AlfredoE Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Its sad he doesn't give a fuck because when he plays well and is healthy, he can be very good. Sadly, he's usually injured and worse his "I don't give a fuck" attitude is awful. I tend to think we didn't see this early on due to all the injuries, but once he was reasonably healthy his attitude was in full bloom. Steve Nash's Laker run has been worse than Mitch Richmond's year here. Mitch at least got a ring. There's been a few old HOF/all-stars who have had disappointing ends to their careers in LA.

Burgundy LaRue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Coleman cared for the first four seasons of his career. It was only year five that he went into IDGAF mode. Bynum has always been in IDGAF mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Fucking grind it out game in Indiana right now. Mavs have held Pacers scoreless for the first 5 minutes of the 4th. VERY low scoring game. Indy with 17 turnovers so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What about Brian Williams/Bison Dele? He really seemed like a guy who was tall and athletic, and everybody just told him he should play basketball, so he did, but he never gave a single fuck about it.

Burgundy LaRue Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Dele was a track star in high school, but had a major growth spurt and just wound up in basketball as a result. Thinking about him makes me sad. Poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'll throw a hat in the ring for the NBA version of Marvin Barnes. He gave so little fucks that he did bumps of cocaine on the Celtics bench during games Barnes' addiction grew to the point where, toward the end of his career, he was snorting cocaine during games. "Yeah, I was doing it on the bench," Barnes said. "I was playing for the Celtics, and I was sitting next to Nate Archibald and somebody else, and I was snorting cocaine right there on the bench while the game was going on. "They all moved away from me. I had it under a towel. I guess I don't need to say that my career didn't last much longer after that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benoit Benjamin was the all-time champion of giving no fucks unless it was the last month of a contract year. Most notably, he would sometimes "accidentally" bring two left sneakers to practice so that he wouldn't have to participate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
