Back surgery as a rookie on your spine is not a good sign. When I was like 24 I was squatting all wrong and had a partially bulging disc (that still aggrivates me to this day and I'm 36) and I remember going to the docs and saying getting surgery at that age was a very very last resort. And back pain is no f'ing joke. That **** can put you out and make it hard for you to function and breathe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yeah, I got in a car accident last summer, and one of my injuries was a simple lumbar sprain. Instantly felt like a 90 year old man, brittle back bones moving around like jenga and **** after he gets up from watching his tenth Matlock rerun. God that sucked.

StillUnknown Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Joel really dont stop talking, like ever lol Tatum will always make shots in this league, if he's efficient and smart with it, he'll be just about unstoppable offensively. I hate that he's on Boston Edited July 22, 2018 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that he's on Boston Yeah I was wrong about him. He's a surefire future All Star with that offensive skillset. He looks way, way ahead of where Brandon Ingram, Justise Winslow, and Jabari Parker were at his age. I'm blown away by Embiid in that video. That handle and speed and body control at ~7'1 is unprecedented. He is the most gifted player in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Nuggets had that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is to high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757SeanTaylor21 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I tell you this. Bamba got sent back that entire drive guarding embiid. I like Bamba a lot. He gonna have to get some man weight and fast. If i was 76ers, id iso embiid every time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope he has someone smart around him advising him about his financials, he may not see a 2nd NBA contract not sure what Houston is doing this offseason, but they damn sure ain't getting better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Warriors Rockets Celtics Thunder Jazz Spurs Pacers Raptors 76ers Lakers? 9 isn’t a reach for the Lakers with Lebron Edited July 23, 2018 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 When you consider that there's really no one worth mentioning in the East outside of 2, maybe 3 teams, and that in the West with Lebron, the Lakers should probably be in that 5-7 seed range, I do t really see it as as that far of a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what happened to the Blazers in playoffs, but that's another one that bounces them out top 10. Still will make playoffs though, but taking wait and see approach on crew around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, there is no logical explanation for that ranking other than media bias. Frankly, I would only say improbable if they were picked 5 or below. But they werent, they were picked 9th.

I expect my Wizards to be underrated in here, that shouldn't be confused with disrespect for the Lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, being outside top 10 doesn't mean they'll miss the playoffs. Media does want them high as they can get them, that doesn't mean I think they're 15 or lower, jus not top 10 until I see them prove otherwise. I'd like to see how they do against a team like the Bucks, you know as well as I do Mothership is going to try to overrate the Lakers where they can, especially with LeBron there.
