It's almost like he thinks the referees deserve to be treated like human beings. Union isn't going to be happy about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 They should add some spice to the AS draft and make the last pick for each team have to towel wave and only sub in for garbage time. Then the coaches will regret snubbing Jason GOAT Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, if I were trying to win, I'd rather pick Lowry than DeRozan. But if seniority isn't a consideration, then Kevin Love is the guy I'd pick last. Not sure his game translates well to the format. Giannis would be my first pick. Him or Davis. How is Lowry better than DeRozan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozo the kKklown Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 DeRozan is a great scorer, but that is all he is. Lowry is a better defender and more important to the Raptors success than DeRozan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still averages over 20ppg every year he's been in the playoffs, something Lowry has only done once. He's worse from a defensive rating standpoint in the playoffs, but not by much. Honestly, that series where the Wizards swept them and how Lowry played against the Cavs last year in the playoffs are stuck in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 All I'm saying is DeRozan is pretty much the one guy who completely bogs down an All Star game. Sitting there running shot clock and working to get a 17 foot turnaround. Shoot a three, dunk it, or pass it. At least Melo won't be there to stink up the place this time.

Going Commando Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) These are the ASG rule changes I would like to see: 1 - Dunks are worth three points 2 - Reverse dunks and 360s are worth four points. 3 - Alley oops off the backboard are worth four points. 4 - Made buckets from the center circle are worth five points. 5 - No-look passes add one point to any subsequent bucket scored on the assist. 6 - Full court outlet passes add one point to any subsequent bucket scored on the assist. 7 - Magic Johnson-style crosscourt bounce passes add one point to any subsequent bucket scored on the assist. 8- A Bob Cousy-esque fastbreak where the dribbler spins the ball around his back before shooting or passing adds one point to the subsequent bucket 9 - Getting your ankles broken means you have to get the ball on the next possession and do the same thing to the other guy or else sub out 10 - If a spontaneous three point duel occurs, then it must be allowed to play out until one of the guys misses.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Adam silver is way ahead of the curve on this legalized gambling stuff. The nba getting 1% would a massive chunk of change. And i I love gambling so anything that moves that toward legality I’m all for it. Keep it up Adam. You’re doing God’s great work.

Mr. Sinister Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I feel bad for Windhorst. He is now in tye unenviable position of having to vociferously defend his manhood professionally against Draymond, in what would be a losing argument all the way around. He also is faced with potentially having to defend the remark about him being fat, or not defend it, and have others in the media come to his defense, for being fat, which seems like it would be infinitely worse. Seems like the best option would be to say nothing, only to look weak, and cower to the star player, or clap back, and hope you don't say something that sounds racist, or said by someone else and rehearsed by him.

He's media, all he needs to do is direct his information seeking skills towards Green and wait for something embarrassing to turn up. Then just pick a particularly painful moment to reveal it himself, or leak it to tmz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 This year, Derozen is having a far better season than Lowry. Deronzen has upped his game in every facet (including defense), and he is the biggest reason why Toronto is 32-14 and probably the scariest team in the East. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
