As long as you are healthy you can fight anybody in jail and get stronger.

Kings robbed, ball left his hands prior to the shot clock even starting

Remind me season 08-09 when Suns beat Clippers 81-49 halftime. And now they are pretty good, Philly can do same. But difference is that Clippers team was full of veterans and this year Philly is full of young guys.

76ers deserve what's happening to them. All of their rookies are learning how to lose. I hope they break the losing streak record and lowest winning % in a season record as well.

The scary thing is, they are relying on rookies who have already had significant injuries to get them back to elite status. If this doesn't work, so many heads are gonna roll.

Yeah, no way you can catch and shoot in .3. Has to be a tip. I've watched several Grizzlies games...same thing happened when they beat Minnesota...Wiggins shot the ball too late IIRC. In any case, Wiggins made some sort of crucial mistake. Grizzlies have probably won 3 games that came down to the last possession. I picked them to finish with the West's best record, but they haven't looked terribly impressive to me. But I guess it doesn't matter how you win.

I know...I said I'd be surprised if they won 5 games and many on the GB said they thought they'd go over the Vegas over/under which was like 14. I should have bet a crapload on the under. Yeah, can you imagine if Noel and Embiid remain injury prone and Saric never really pans out? Of course those are big ifs but you never know betting on so many unknowns. I think Embiid will be a stud but I still don't expect Noel to be much more than a Camby type of player (but of course Camby was a solid player...just no kind of star). He's currently shooting 42% from the floor, 25% from the line, averaging less than 6 boards and 2 blocks a game. And of course he is their main big getting solid minutes.

Remind me when he does that in the NBA.

Lance Stephenson just changed the flopping game.

He straight up slapped his own face!!!! (and got the call!)

BurningHeart · Post #151 » by **BurningHeart** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 10:22 am

He should be suspended for two weeks for that ****.

And the Sixers should have their 2015 and 2016 first round picks taken away from them.

He is just a clown, hopefully the league suspends him.
He is not even funny.

I agree completely. Sixers are making the NBA a worse league with less competition. Imagine if ten teams make that same strategy.....

What is wrong with Nuggets? Team that ranked over Suns until the season. Not only us have a problem.

RunDogGun · Post #156 » by **RunDogGun** » Sun Nov 16, 2014 11:48 pm

Lance clearly has his left arm hit, which makes him smack himself in the face. It was clearly not on purpose, but kind of funny actually. I've seen some super flopping, but that was a moving screen by Barnes.

What the heck are you talking about? The guy setting the screen hits Lance's arm. The slo-mo version of it shows the bump very clearly. Lance's left arm was in a T-Rex sort of position. It's very difficult to purposely hit yourself in the face in that position. Although he didn't do it on purpose, I found it quite funny to watch him look like he slaps himself silly.

That was a moving screen but still funny as hell to see him slap his own face lol. Definitely helped with the call though.
