The phoniness just radiates out of PG first trying to convince people he was “humble” like Kawhi in the summer, not into social media the other day even though he was 1-2-3 cancuning guys on bad teams, now he was apparently in a “dark place” these last 3 games with “no fans”

Dude is just a mental midget. Don’t even get started bringing up and slandering Harden the other day for no reason talking about his own game

I’d much rather Lakers win the West or the title than the Clippers

problem with both Wright Brothers; both had great potential but they didn't work on their game that much...1 entered the too early & the other too late (Delon), it's understandable why scouts / GMs don't draft 23/24-year-old players, what you see is what you get from them. Credit to Norman Powell, who has improved his game, got better...it takes hard work to get better

It is really more about the developmental system. I watch about every NBA team’s players and games as much as I can closely. When he got traded last year he looked like a good up and coming player, little to chose between him and Vanvleet actually and Delon provided even length at the PG position to compliment Lowry and was a pretty damn good defensively as well watching him.

NBA developmental system and coaching is huge for all players especially for players that are on the outside looking in when it comes to going either way. Elite lottery picks need the developmental system in place as well but not as much as 4 year college guys and late 1st round or 2nd round picks.

Dirty move by Morris but in some sport you have coaches that send “the tough guy” out there to do sh.. like this countless times. Don’t forget the OG Bruce Bowen. Rodman also didn’t get the nickname “the worm” for no reason.

We just saw what Dragic did to OG and didn’t get a tech for it. This is what happens when you don’t stamp these thing out early.

Well they were missing their best player with plantar fasciitis. :roll:

The Knicks, Bulls or 76ers should snatch him up.

The league and advertisers are probably in complete and utter shambles right now

This is just like the night in March when NBA announced shutdown due to covid.

What a shock.

True North · Post #1398 » by **True North** » Wed Aug 26, 2020 8:24 pm

The entire NBA should just pause the season until the officers are arrested.

If there was a team to boycott it should be the bucks, since this happened in their State,bolus they're up 3-1

Feels like a statement that while the NBA have given a platform and support for the players to advance the social movement of black equality, it just isn't enough to put the sole emphasis on the players to invoke change.

The players require full vocal and actionable support from a multi-billion dollar operation and the billionaire owners to be using their platform to contact and speak to law makers using their substantial economic and political influence. The players have a platform and have been using it but it does not compare to that of their employers. So far we have not seen any desire for the most influential people in the NBA family to really push for change and the players have had enough.

I don't blame them.
