Predicto Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Donnie Nelson was the first guy to really understand how to scout and value foreign players for NBA skills. It's not just Dirk. He is the one who figured out why Sarunas Marciulionis had a game that could transfer to the NBA, while Oscar Schmidt probably didn't. (Sarunas was a freaking beast, by the way.)

DM72 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Mark Cuban is a brass balled, forward thinking self made billionaire genius, that youd want to chill and grab a beer with. Dan Snyder is an insecure, reactionary, socially awkward little man who has no clue how build anything from the ground up, but instead run it into the ground I understand where you're coming from, but Cuban was a joke at times. He has made a fool.of himself on numerous occasions getting into with refs as if he was a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made a fool.of himself on numerous occasions getting into with refs as if he was a fan. I actually like his man of the people behavior. There is something great about an owner that shows up at a game in a tshirt and sits in the stands with fans. He lives and dies with what is going on on the court just like any fan and he's not afraid to show it. He's not acting like he's nobility walking amongst the muddy peasants.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Kyle Lowry is soooo underrated. He's a beast And that Rose guy is pretty good too Wizards may have a easy time tomorrow. Bulls will probably be exhausted after this big win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So basically the Pistons have decided to join the Sixers in the tank sweepstakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So basically the Pistons have decided to join the Sixers in the tank sweepstakes?they made taht decision when they signed both Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith to those absurd contracts.

Destino Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Was there any defense at the end of the Bulls game? A 49-37 4th quarter is ridiculous. I'm bummed I didn't get to see that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Toronto can't beat Chicago. Chicago can't beat Washington. Washington can't beat Toronto. The EC playoffs are going to come down to match ups. Chicago can win the conference if Washington plays Toronto in the semis. Toronto probably wins if Washington and Chicago play in the semis. Seeding is going to end up being really important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So basically the Pistons have decided to join the Sixers in the tank sweepstakes? They are stuck in cap hell for two seasons after this one. They probably should focus on developing their players at this point because that JSmoov mistake is a big one. They need to figure out if Monroe and Drummond can coexist too. If they can't, trade one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 San Antonio has had a brutal schedule so far, but 4-6 in their last ten ain't good. Feels like the West caught up to them. This could be how the era finally ends. Kind of a whimper. Going from annually dominant to merely good, while younger, more talented, hungrier teams like Golden State and Portland pass them by.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yeah, I'm gonna have to see a lot more for me to count out SA I'm not even thoroughly convinced that they are too concerned with winning every game at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they're injured. When 100% healthy they rule the West. They took Memphis 3 OTs and handed them the win with no Parker or Leonard. Also no Patty Mills. They will be fine.

Going Commando Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Losing Parker and Leonard will do that to ya. They've had significant injuries in the past, including injuries to Parker, and those didn't slow them down. Now they're playing sub .500 ball in their last ten games? When is the last time that happened? They aren't as good as they were last year, and the top end of the West is better. SA isn't the favorite any more.

SA isn't the favorite any more. when was the last time this happened with the spurs? how about every single year. Pops is one of the few coaches that has the security and wherewithal to not care about regular season games... and to actually play that way. The Spurs ALWAYS have regular season stretches where they are tinkering with line-ups/resting players/trying new schemes/whatever .... where they lose and are written off... and then some how <surprisingly and miraculously> they find cohesion and momentum at the end of the regular season and enter teh playoffs in playoff form. that said... they ALSO never ever win back to backs (and duncan ginolbi are as old as I am ....right?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Snyder is an insecure, reactionary, socially awkward little man who has no clue how build anything from the ground up, but instead run it into the ground Both are self made men and big sports fans. Snyder started his business working out of his parents home. He did not become a check signer for NFL players from pure luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
