That was such a **** play for him :lol: Gets the denial on DeMar then Nick Jonas comes in and booms it on him right after. :lol:

Khem Birch tied his career high last night with 14 pts. Has he been that under utilized in Orlando?

Can't really blame Nurse with our front court being a disaster until recently. He was forced to play those guys up a spot instead of down one.

Can't really blame the team for earning the win against a team that is still in the thick of the playoff race out West. The Spurs just went cold from deep until like the last 90secs or so. I mean we went into the game with a singular guard, a rookie one at that. We had Rodney friggin Hood handling the ball when Malachi or Pascal weren't on the floor. DeMar did what he could, in fact he played magnificently.

William Lou gets paid to do this ****. You think he or Blake or Vivek are gonna waste their time on this board unless they're also actively promoting Yahoo sports or The Athletic or CBC at the same time?


Will Lou gets paid to post on his personal twitter? Yeah I doubt it. He gets paid for all the stuff he does pre and post game. He's still a fan after all and judging by his age, he probably is/was a RGM poster. Anyway, another poster pointed out the similarity even of childs' avatar. Then I started noticing a pattern that he's basically posting everything william lou does on twitter. Even if he isn't quoting his feed, he's posting the same pics or ideas. Anyway, idc. Not here to argue or out the guy. Just good to know he's one of us :lol:


William Lou has a brand in a very difficult industry. Since he does make money from it from some sources, he's going to spend every available minute on social media burnishing his brand. OK, maybe part of is using burner account(s) to direct traffic to his tweets/videos. Is that what child is doing?

EDIT: calling RGM will, william lou is a running gag at this point though because it's clearly not him lol


Fair enough. I wasn't sure if it had evolved into a meme/running gag, so I saw it as my purpose in life stamp it out at every opportunity. I'll stop.

Imagine being Baynes, hearing that conversation just outside the coaches' office. imagine living with the knowledge that a multimillion organization is bringing in a rookie to do the job you're being paid 7 million dollars to do.

it's part and parcel of sports, but still. Imagine having to hold back that level of misery in the recesses of your mind.


Baynes is a big lumbering 34 year old in an era of NBA that has never been quicker. I know you love to pile up on the guy. But perhaps he's happy for a young guy getting a chance. It's not like he has much time left in the league.

All the more reason he's probably pissed that he doesn't have the opportunity down the stretch to earn his 7m option next season. :lol:

I don't think he's been given the freedom to operate like that since college. Perhaps we can give him some opportunity to develop that part of his game in the end stretch of this season

Really hoping Vooch, Markkannen and the rest of the guys can turn it up.

We REALLY don't need to be winning any more games.

SG OG is the best OG.

I've wanted us to play him at the 2 since kawhi was here.

Imagine

Kowry
Og
Kawhi
Pascal
Gasol/ibaka


Kevin Durant would have no chance
