This is why you still need to type cursive in schools.


Really is weird what they did with the "ix" part there. I hate writing in cursive and haven't really done it since probably high school, but even I know the "ix" part is wrong and makes it look like a "u" with a dot.

So you probably won't see teams in that 7th or 8th seed range openly tank but you're sure as **** gonna see teams from #6-#11 start taking hard dives.

Of course they'd enact something like this only after we've finally hopped off the treadmill after spending the previous two decades stuck in that 8-14 range that this proposal blatantly benefits.

Anyone know of a good site for 8 category fantasy basketball roto rankings? Seems like the major sites like espn and cbs kind of suck.

I think Yahoo is the best, but not sure on roto capabilities.

Very good points guys. Hopefully the Philly faithful catch on and the team never wears them.

Also no word from Philly camp on when/if Embiid will play. Kind of like us with Parker.

The Blazers could offer the Knicks an incomparably good deal for Melo if they win the standoff and he agrees to go there.

Melo has no reason to relent. The Knicks aren't going to keep him. That's silly. Make them decide between a higher buyout or a crappy trade. When the marketing blitz is complete and Melo is nowhere to be found, he isn't going to be on the team. This is just the Knicks new FO trying to make something out of nothing. Which is why when they reengaged and attempted to increase Melo's value that "Jabari Parker came up in talks". To which Lowe said "you called the Bucks, asked about Parker, got hung up on then went and told your local handpicked "journalist" to tell them Jabari's name came up in trade talks.

The defense on a Blazers team with Lillard, McCollum, and Melo in the starting 5 is gonna be.........interesting.

Blazers don't need to mess with anything. They were already dangerous as hell with Nurkic, and Harkless is a nice young combo forward. Aminu is solid too. Maybe find a defensive guard off the bench but otherwise roll with what you have.

I figured that was the most likely case, but when did Lowe say this? haha

One of the more recent podcasts. He hasn't been doing many of them over the summer.

It was glorious. He had such disdain in his voice.

why would any good team want Carmelo, unless they were severely offensively challenged and needed some bench scoring?
Houston, Portland, Cleveland, they all have enough offensive tools.

They traded Crabbe. It's hard to replace that level of abysmal defense.
