Honestly if Lebron wins this tournament and tweets something like,

"16 year old me, you'll go on to do great things, but this one, you were the FIRST to EVER do it"

im gonna

makes no sense. you've got two western teams playing, put them at the usual 9pm slot and put us at 7. Or if you want to get crazy, 8 and 6. 4?

Maybe Silver is afraid of that Trubisky v Zappe ratings powerhouse?

Both games are in the same arena and are separate tickets, so they need time to clear out the fans from the first game and admit the fans for the second. It would make more sense for one ticket for both games, but money talks.

Just wanted to say GG, that was fun and I’d be totally down for a 7 game series of this in the spring.

Plus you guys built yourselves one hell of an arena.

Is there a correlation with Patty out?

soxperry · Post #88 » by **soxperry** » Wed Dec 6, 2023 3:30 am

I didn't realize Beasley was only 27... I know we have been able to convince guys to take a little less until we can get them a better contract down the road but i find it very hard to believe that Beasley is going to turn down something like 3 years, 25 MIL to play for whatever paltry slot we can provide him. Seems like he's probably just going to take the biggest bag and **** off.. But i could be wrong.

the board what now?

would've assumed you were here but the first 10ish games was just constant Beas bashing. it was relentless. I legit checked out for a while as it was so over the top.

Yeah this place was legitimately deranged about Beasley at first. I'll never forget when someone accused him of missing too many shots when his 3P% was sitting at 42.

That's right. He was definitely a reclamation project after being on that bad Lakers team. I remember wanting to bring back Brogdon over Lopez, which would have been the wrong move in hindsight.

WIll be very interesting to see what happens with Beas if he can keep it up all season.

Love Bobby and everything he’s contributed during this run, but him and Marjon for DFS seems like the right move if you can swing it.

We already knew he could shoot that thang. Hopefully he keeps it up in the biggest games. Tonight had a first-round playoff game atmosphere and he showed out.

Hey, good to see Marques coming around on Dairy Bird

Did he say it tonight or do you mean he likes AJ?

He tweeted about you suggesting that nickname. Better than his dismissal during the broadcast the other game… baby steps lol

Took him a couple weeks to get into game shape after that knee procedure but since that Pacers game around a month ago, we're at 33/12/6 on 67% TS for the 4th best player in the world and non-MVP candidate.

That was some of the worst defense I've ever seen him play.

It was horrible. From his first minute to his last minute. Just a layup line when he was out there.

He doesn't seem to get his hands up a lot, like he's defending with his headband.

God no. No. Not only do you trade two highly liked locker room guys and a major playoff contributor in pat, but you get a guy that just isn't very good. Where does he fit? We need perimeter defense , but he's a 3/4. He can't help hide dame. Idk what some people's obsession with dfs is.
