Steph been slumping all postseason, KD been covering it up

But...but...but....advanced stats tell me Steph is the greatest basketball player in the world!  STOP IT. 

KD is about as selfless as they come (within the dynmaic of the team game.)  However, when he wants, he can 100% be the best player on the planet. 

Even w/ the Rockets victory last night, I still think GS wins in 6. 

Yea, I actually don't mind the junkies...Not a huge fan of Grant, but I do like Danny.

Paulsen grew up an Orioles fan and has said so on air many times.

 

EB is the Nats fan--Bishop is a Red Sox fan (and 9ers fan apparently. Probably jumped on the Montana-Young bandwagon).

Cakes is a Raiders fan, I believe. JP likes the Redskins, but is also a Colts fan, I think.

EB is the only real DC sports fan.

 

They're all over the place.

 

Because that station, and sports talk as a whole, thrives on negativity. When the Nats won under Baker, what was the hot topic? Grant Paulsen screaming about batting order, despite having one the best offenses in the majors those two years.

So Paulsen and EB are the same then. LOL.  I don't pay Paulsen much mind.  He's got a platform, so he thinks he's right all the time, but he comes off sounding goofy. 

EB was a Cubs fan...O's fan...now Nats.

Why not?

Half the Junkies follow other football teams, only one gives a **** about the Nats. They're mainly gambling addicts.

Grant Paulsen is an O's fan. Who cares about Danny Rouhier...he'd rather do horrible impressions.

Fat Dukes only cares about wrestling and guns

And that's the #1 radio station in DC.

Paulsen being an O's fan is news to me.  Which Junkie is a Nats fan?  I know EB is a converted O's fan...but dude is about as fairweather as they come.

they need to patch that **** into Red Dead 2 expeditiously 

 

lil dude seem humble too, i don't know whats next for him, but I'm rooting for him

 

 

IF he plays his cards right, he can extend his 15 minutes.  This trap/country mashup is catchy and can become a "thing" on college campuses.  I mean, ****...he had TTU singing his joint during the title game run...He needs another banger before college football season. 

In thinking about it, Wall's contract is what it is...however, lost in everything is the fact that he's one of the better passers at the 1 in the league.  While his athleticism and speed will suffer, his passing ability should remain the same.  Wall will 100% HAVE to alter his game.  If anything, this injury should make him a little more careful with the ball since he won't have that Ferrari engine.  We may see his TO numbers decrease, and that's a good thing.  I'm just trying to look for a silver lining, but there is no way Wall shouldn't average close to 10 dimes per night when he comes back.  The scoring numbers will decrease, but he may....just may become a better overall PG.  I hope LOL.

RIP Nipsey

I never even really checked for dude when he was alive.  However, it's been really amazing reading about all the good he was doing in his community.  You know he was touching lives when Obama penned a note out of respect to his family.  I ended up buying Victory Lap because all the money goes back to his estate.  I haven't listened to the whole thing, but I'm looking forward to it when I get a chance.  This death, IMO, is right up there with Biggie and Tupac as far as impact on the industry. 

Sheppard might be a good choice, but I want the org to hire someone that has no ties. 

The writing was on the wall for Grunfeld after that contentious practice earlier on in the season.  Even if they made the playoffs (and most likely got bounced in round 1,) I think he was going to be fired regardless. 

Bradley Beal got some guarantees from Leonsis after their meeting.  One of them was that Grunfeld was going to be replaced.  I'm sure of this.  You don't go from having your camp leak things to the media about your displeasure and not wanting to be here past your current deal, to saying you want to retire a Wizard in a matter of months. 

I was 100% sure Grunfeld was going to be canned. 

Next man up has a daunting task in front of them.  A team with little-to-no salary cap flexibility and bad contracts that need to be moved.  I'm curious as to who is going to be hired. 

I just hope that Brooks is the next guy to get fired.

Don't want to win but its nice to see Troy Brown play well. Why'd it take so long for us to play him?

You know the answer LOL. 

By 2025...it's all relative.  With the cost of living increasing, etc.  That $15 will stretch about as far as the current $10.10. 

Might be time to fire up the ol' trade machine...

Ralph Sampson is in the HOF.

Grant Hill was better than Shawn Kemp and Penny Hardaway for a longer period of time. He is just one off the all nba appearances than those two combined and he played 17 years.

 

No one remembers Mitch Richmond’s college career.

 

A better argument is Chris Webber’s college experience is keeping him out the HOF.

I stand corrected on Ralph Sampson...had no clue he was in the HOF, but my overall point still remains.

*edit*

At some point, we gotta have a discussion about how Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka have ruined the lakers.  Gonna be something when no marquee FAs decide to sign with the Lakers.  They're gonna be stuck with a rapidly declining Lebron and a divided locker room because the young guys CLEARLY know what's up.

It clearly takes more than a brilliant college career to get in, but it's definitely a factor.  Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, and Shawn Kemp aren't in the Hall.  What separates them from Grant Hill?  The NCAA career.  I think Mitch Richmond's career at Kansas State helped get him in too as he was borderline like Hill.  If Kemp had starred in college instead of missing out on his NCAA career and jumping to the NBA before he was ready, I think he'd be in the Hall.

Man, NO ONE talks about Mitch Richomond's 2 years at KSU being a factor in him getting in the HOF.  Grant Hill is cut from that T-Mac cloth.  Both guys were on the trajectory to becoming all-time greats in the NBA until injuries took their toll.  This is why they got in.  Grant Hill's college accolades were irrelevant in the decision to induct him, IMO.  Same goes for Richmond.  If the college game weighed that heavily in the decision of those responsible for voting, we'd see guys like Danny Manning and Christian Laettner enshrined by now.  Yes, it's the basketball hall of fame, but unless you are a college coach, someone who had their pro career cut short by injury/death, made a global impact, or had an illustrious career overseas, you're not getting in on your college merits. 

Not sure how much college accolades help guys get into the hall.  I think if you're a college lifer as a coach, obviously...but there's a reason why Christian Laettner, Ralph Sampson, Wayman Tisdale, etc. are not inducted in Springfield.  Dominance/impact in pro-leagues is where the bar is set.  I don't think Grant Hill's Duke career helped him one bit as far as getting inducted.  Without injury, he would have gone down as one of the all-time greats.  Same can be said of T-Mac.

No way should he be a hall of famer if he retired today. Gotta have more longevity than that. At least that's my opinion. Not saying he won't be when he actually retires, but needs more years especially as someone considered a top player in the league. This goes to throwing around the word all-time greats way too easily. As with the Hall, he may certainly end up there, but he has had epic chokes in the playoffs and that is enough to make him not an all-time great YET. 

 

 

A lot of these guys named all made finals or won titles. Harden needs to get there. I would also argue that Nash is not an all-time player but I don't really care to argue that now. 

 

Are we defining all-time great as a hall of famer or the best of the hall of famers?

 

I can't really argue how good some of the older guys were defensively cause I'm not that old comparatively. 

Tracy McGrady is a HOFer with a less than stellar playoff resume.  Grant Hill also. Probably going to see Vince Carter inducted as well. So, based off of these three guys, yes, if Harden retired today for whatever the reason, he’s a 100% LOCK for the hall.

James Harden might be an all-time great if he ever doesn’t choke in the playoffs, in deciding games. 

I'm 100% convinced that with a healthy CP3, they win that game 7 vs. GS last year and win the championship.  We'll see what happens this year...but even with the playoff chokes, he's an all-time great.  Absolute LOCK for the HOF if he retired today. 

James Harden is so crafty.  Dude is an all-time great.

i think once he gets paid, he'll revert back to the wrong ways. Too much risk for me

Possibly, but I think it's a gamble I'd make.  If it comes down to a decision between him and Portis, I'd go with Parker 10x outta 10.
