Butler can't take over games.

Always getting cut off and stops dribbling.

He is no #1

Yep, the Heat actually parted with him a year too late. Funny how those posters who were laughing at them for giving up Butler are silent now.

He absolutely has to have a #1, but to be fair, he has admitted as much by calling Curry Batman.

I've never seen Jimmy as a #1 on a title team, but maybe he was and I didn't pay close enough attention.

He was for a time on the Heat, they just failed to get him enough help. But now he takes too many games off, gets injured too much, and is too inconsistent to be the guy at this point. The trade made sense to both teams because the Heat had no use for him without a Curry and he's around Curry's age as well. Giving him max money for the next 3 years would of been a huge mistake by Miami.

Minny for what is a sleepy kinda town has had some pretty interesting egos and talent, Prince, Dylan, Moss, KG, Ant many more, just interesting because it is not a place you think of exactly but it has some pretty good swagger

Because we are "fly over" country, most people don't bother to find out. We have a great music scene and some great basketball talent coming out of MN right now (Suggs & Holmgren in back to back years).

The music scene is stupidly influential. Obviously Dylan and Prince did so much but just Westerberg was a huge influence people don’t know. Realistically with out Bob Mould, Nirvana doesn’t have their sound.

Isn't it Podziemski? Or am I just being a bigoted german about the spelling

You’re German ?

German & Russian, so growing up between Berlin & Chicago was very interesting

...Chicago has a huge polish population...

Ты говоришь на Русском тоже ?

A few off season rumors he will be gone… just who wants to pay for him really, because GSW isn’t going to. Someone is going to have to roll the dice on his next contract, which might fetch 30 per. That’s a big risk, someone will ( looking at my Bulls they like paying undeserved contracts)

My first thought before I even finished your post was that I was going to be watching Kuminga when the Knicks visit the UC next year

It is a very Bulls move. I mean they lost out on Kuzma so get Kuminga! 10th spot here we come, let’s avoid a good draft pick!

At least Donovan usually has you scrappy so a lot of games are fun to go to...but yeah, sucks that ownership uses the team like an atm and won't let you ever bottom out.

Please tell the Heat fans on the Heat board why scrambling to try to trade for KD is just a different flavor of the same mistake, because they (some of them anyways) aren't seeing it.

The biggest outside of Poland iirc.

And it won't end when he dies. Jerry told his kids to sell the Sox when he passes but to never sell the Bulls. Because that goose will never stop laying golden eggs.

What you mean Warriors are back , it’s 17 points game

Dude relax

10.

7

Now he should be worried

Oh, now I see why I didn't need to worry (end of 3rd)

Of course, was the first language I spoke because my dad never learned any german other than "ein großes wodka & ein kleines bier bitte"

...although I hate cyrilic. I'm not a conspiracy guy...most popular conspiracies don't understand how real conspiracies work, so make no sense...but I'm 50/50 on the theory that cyrilic was a Byzantine trick meant to isolate the slavic people

Sometimes maybe PoJemski looks good sometimes maybe PoJemski looks ****

Podz needs to be on a short leash, but with Melton out, Steph out, and Kerr's insane microball means that he always get plenty of game time. Regardless of his play.

[Sealab2024]

Ants got no lift.

[Tim_Hardawayy]

Jimmy just way too passive. I get he doesn't have quite the athleticism he used to, but he's passing up shots like Ben Simmons.

[Kobe187]

Minny too good, game 1 seems like a fluke win for GS.

*sigh* not wrong about that. But that's all the more reason to do a real rebuild, people will keep showing up if there's a real plan.

Ohhhh yeah. Melton. That was a big loss.

Almost time to sit Ant.

Not just outside of poland, highest outside of Warzawa.

My mom also lives in the same chicago suburb as a former Lithuanian PM

Every time I watch a Warriors game the announcers talk about how Kuminga is supposed to be like this hidden talent that just hasn't gotten to play enough yet, and every time I see him he looks like ass. The only thing I can say is he can jump high, I really don't get the hype, at all.
