2 1/2 hours. Or 3, I forgot.
Not really. Actually, I wouldn't even say that at all. He gets tunnel vision like a mofo sometimes.
He's good. And he's definitely changed my impression of him since the start of the season, but I'm not about to start giving him extra props because of his performance in a pickup game.
So, your rebuttal is that Adelman and Karl are failures because they didn't manage to accomplish what 1 out of the past, oh, I don't know, 30 or so championship squads did? You're fucking lol.
Nate, Scott, Collins? oh boy... oh wow... geez
The "inferior talent" argument doesn't work with them. The "no alpha" argument does.
The Pistons had one of the deepest rosters in the league with above average talent across the board. They literally had an all-star at every position.

And their coach was terrible at developing players which is where you were starting when you bashed Adelman.

DY please troll Kyrie like you sort of did earlier in the season. So when he holds up that rookie of the year award, and the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy in 2014 I can swamp your stupid ass quotes on here into one giant laughable bin.
who the fuck are you
Prince never made the All-Star squad, but 4 out of 5 ain't bad...
Not basing it on the allstar game man. He has better vision than both guys. He's very under control on the court. His assists will go up when gets more comfortable with the speed of the NBA game.
This is the kyrie that threw about 5 passes at peoples feet or well behind them yesterday?

It doesn't matter because Chuck had the skills and the mastery of positioning his body that you can have all the wing span you want, you'll still get out rebounded and scored on. *Looks at DeAndre Jordan*
Mothefucking racist.

That's what I was thinking. He has yet to have an offseason where the coaching staff can help change his game/body to fit the team more.
I'm not allowed to change my opinion? This isn't poli-GAF. If it was, KingGondo would still be hating on Kobe. Don't let giri's aussie rage get to you. Tell him to eat a dick.
I've eased off of Kyrie a bunch since the first month - and even then, most of the discussion was against those who were trying to say that he was better than Rubio. And I still don't think he's as good as Rubio for the record. I don't think I've even mentioned him in February.
No alpha.
As in, no true big name player as THE guy. People who say that the Pistons weren't talented simply didn't watch them play until the Finals.
In your defense, you're obviously special.
Lol, like i should give a drive by poster any time of day.
Kyrie is ok. He's a starter. But yesterdays performance did nothing to convince me he's a PG, or that good of a PG.
Which is what all the neo-cav nut huggers are running around jumping up and down about.

On Wayne Ellington getting more minutes, he is really really streaky, so I'm thinking that's why he isn't getting any lately.

This is a graph of his TS% over his career.

Skills and mastery aside, it doesn't change the fact that he played in a different era with different rules and players who were built differently as well.
Also, it goes back to your original point. Josh Smith, Chuck Hayes/Barkley have nothing in common when you're comparing body types and playstyles.
eat a dick giri

You mean yesterdays joke of a game performance where Charles fucking Barkley is a coach?

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Players adapt, Tyson Chandler was drafted as a Small Forward for fucks sake.
Give the kid a chance to adapt, whats the rush? Plus, if he improves then maybe Love wont have to lead the league in minutes.

Charles Barkley was not the coach lawl
And Daniel Gibson makes me think of Norris Cole. Just slower and fucking Keyshia Cole.
Most people projected Chandler as a PF.
Not NBA Live. Starting SF for the Bulls. Jonathan Bender was a SG too.
First of all it's a highlight show
Second of all take the aussie crack pipe out of your bloody mauth
Third of all watch a game of his

Bender for Antonio Davis is probably the best trade in Toronto history.

butter up those lips and eat my dick
just cause K-Mart and Scola don't play D doesn't mean that our other scrubs don't
Don't get salty at me bitch tits just because you know i'm right.
I have, thats why i said yesterday didn't change my opinion.
Barkley was GM, not coach...
unlikely.
They need to build the hype around the dunk contest, and they'll do that anyway that they possibly can.

Wow, interesting graph. It's intriguing how he seems to heat up and cool off at around the same number of games in each of the seasons.
probably because...
Wes is awful for a few games, coach gets sick of him, puts in ellington
ellington goes balls out hard as he can to keep the spot.
as ellington isn't used to the minutes / going that hard so regularly, gets tired.
performance falls off.
gets a rest while wes starts again.
rinse and repeat.

Hopefully. But the problem is the contestants are all forwards this year, so I don't have terribly high hopes. I just don't want Williams to embarrass himself.
The real hype was MJ, Vince Carter, Clyde... lets talk about the real dunks that people remember forever. Highly doubt Griffin's dunk over a Kia will be more memorable than MJ's free throw liner.

widowlicker is certainly making a name for himself as a junior.
NeoCavs so bad.

lol giri... he's probably never held a hammer in his life "i need gloves, don't I? safety first kids and senior citizens!"
Its a shame. Who would've thought that all the good cavs fans got wasted on Lebron?

LOL @ that NBA Cares pic
"I just need to screw in these electricities and this doghouse will be complete."
edit: I've been to GBurger before! Its a nice middle of the road burger, better than a lot of sitdown places with a lower price. It gets the Moris seal of approval. Looks like you went full retard with your burger though.

I was just to give a shout out to Kado, he made me aware of GBurger in La Habra. Holy shit that burger was incredible.
wtf is on that...
looks good though
Lol, that could be the single most fake "nba cares" photo ever.
Why is he hitting nails randomly into a support block?
ayo this might be the single greatest post in the history of this thread
bow down motherfuckers
the lack of subtlety, tact and good feeling
