G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Sebastian Telfair is still in the league...Gtfo. Seriously? For who? Oh and I can't wait to see PTI tomorrow. Just a few days after declaring there was zero chance the Skins would win and then completely ignoring that failure the day after, they BOTH declared there was zero chance the Cavs would lose to the "dreadful Knicks" (Wilbon) and Kornheiser saying it would be a "BIG deal" if they did lose (but no chance they would). It's funny, you don't follow other teams enough to know how often they're talking out their ass but (and this applies ESPECIALLY to Around the Horn and pretty much ALL of ESPN) whenever they briefly talk about one of your squads, you're shocked at how much they're talking out their ass. The only conclusion you can come to is if it's true for your teams, it's gotta be true for damn near everything. (Kornheiser is just brutal. I mean he's based out of here, runs a ****ing sports talk show on one of the local sports talk stations and yet he obviously knows nothing about DC sports. How the **** is he going to be knowing what he's talking about when it comes to teams from other cities? Wilbon is just a douche. And the worst kind of douche, a natural one, doesn't need to try, just is, a constant and then is oblivious that he is. There's hope when someone knows they're being a douche. And none at all when they don't.) Edited October 31, 2014 by G.A.C.O.L.B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Gtfo. Seriously? For who? Â OKC I'm pretty sure I saw him on there. Â And Westbrook has a small fracture in his hand, so he'll start seeing even more time. Â @jadande Russell Westbrook left arena without talking to media. Brooks says he has small fracture in right hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Telfair was supposed to be the next big thing, coming straight out of high school. I don't remember the details but he didn't impress scouts and slid to the mid-1st (Minnesota? Don't remember.) Basically been a journeyman ever since. Still isn't a bad career but gonna suck when you so highly touted and pumped. (I almost want to say he was the very first high schooler to be on the cover of Slam! Magazine. Pretty sure that's right. And yeah, that just shows you the hype around him back when) While we're on this, let's guess on what his career earnings are. I'm going to say $40 mil. Anyone else? (And i swear on RGIII's, John Wall's and Bryce Harper's knees I haven't looked it up already) Btw, I know it's wrong to laugh at a person's injuries, but I almost can't help myself with Westbrook. I think he's such a clown. No doubt he thought this was his moment to shine and take over the team from Durant. Edited October 31, 2014 by G.A.C.O.L.B.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Curious to your opinion on this Predicto: http://thedissnba.com/2013/04/08/monday-media-the-worst-broadcast-team-in-the-league/ Are they really that bad? I probably have and just don't remember, but I can't recall ever watching a Warriors broadcast. I honestly believe we have the best broadcast team in Buck and Phil (particularly Buck) so I always take interest in what other organizations are riding with. Edited October 31, 2014 by G.A.C.O.L.B.

burgundyrush Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The Thunder is EASILY the worst team in the NBA without Westbrook and Durant. They would be extremely lucky to go into 2015 with double digit wins. I think the Thunder will miss the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant will be back by December and they'll be winning again soon after. They won't miss the playoffs. Also, nobody is worse than Philly. Kendrick Perkins would be one of their best players.

Going Commando Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 GALCOB - aside from how he dresses, what makes Russ a clown? I don't know, I kind of agree with GACOLB about him. It's just the way he plays. He's a low IQ player with seemingly zero self-consciousness that gives 1000% effort and is so spectacularly athletic that he pulls it all off somehow. With him it's either utter brilliance or he makes you cringe. There is no in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Westbrook is my favorite player in the league. I will not let people speak badly of him. Â I also think he serves a valuable role in shielding Durant from scrutiny. If Durant was alone on that team, we would be asking a lot of public questions about why he doesn't demand the ball in crunch time and why a 7-footer has no post game at this point in his career. Instead, we just blame Westbrook for everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These dudes don't know how to win. Might take until December for them to start rolling. Agreed. And it'll take longer than that for them to learn how to win late in the year and in the postseason. Nate Silver predicted 65 wins. Oh excuse me, they'll probably win a few less than that because they'll have such a huge lead in the standings they'll rest all their good players down the stretch and forfeit a couple. And I'm a delusional Wizards homer lowballing them for predicting they'll ONLY win 20 or 25 more games than last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Wow....I knew CLE would have growing pains but to lose to the ****ty Knicks? Â This is going to be a lot like Miami, I think. Those three guys had no feel for how to play with each other last night. Lot's of "It's your turn/Now it's my turn" basketball. Â One thing: They are going to get 6 free points a game off Kevin Love outlet passes. That is going to be insanely fun to watch. Â Defensively, it's not good, and I'm not entirely sure how it's going to get good. Â But they are going to win a ton of games, because there is entirely too much offensive firepower to not.

Gamebreaker Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Westbrook is my favorite player in the league. I will not let people speak badly of him.  I also think he serves a valuable role in shielding Durant from scrutiny. If Durant was alone on that team, we would be asking a lot of public questions about why he doesn't demand the ball in crunch time and why a 7-footer has no post game at this point in his career. Instead, we just blame Westbrook for everything.  We blame Westbrook for everything because it's generally really his fault. Durant had no problems with getting the ball when Westbrook was injured last season. In fact, it's the main reason he ended up being MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Westbrook and Durant ain't gonna miss that much time. Durant will be back by December and they'll be winning again soon after. They won't miss the playoffs. Also, nobody is worse than Philly. Kendrick Perkins would be one of their best players. Philly is the worst team, that's clear. I will say though that if the thunder dig too big a hole it will be tough to make the playoffs in the west. The 8 seed out west will have a respectable record. We blame Westbrook for everything because it's generally really his fault. Durant had no problems with getting the ball when Westbrook was injured last season. In fact, it's the main reason he ended up being MVP. But in the post season the Thunder offense doesn't go without Westbrook. Durant is the better player but Westbrook is a great player in his own right. The problem with the thunder however has never been those two, they get next to nothing from everyone else in the playoffs because Brooks cant design an offense that isn't Westbrook and Durant taking turns.
