And that's all I need.

Do it, Knicks. You overpaid, super team wannabe, bastards... You have my trollsword.

The sound of Boozer breaking your heart will be deafening. He'll scream 'And 1' immediately after.

That depends on what my expectations are. The Boozer Defense Force was created for moments like those.

 

[SephCast]

So, on Saturday morning, my friends and I are bringing back the Bulls NBA playoffs drinking game. A shot of whiskey for every D-Rose Dunk or 3 and Korver 3. I'm thinking about adding every Boozer strip/shot blocked/missed layup, but we might die.

"I think it would be a great idea to change it to two-and-done," Stern said. "Everyone I hear from -- NBA players, actually; college coaches; NBA teams -- everyone says it's a pretty good idea, except the [NBPA], whose consent is necessary to change it. So, what I tell people to do is, 'Don't call me, call their union.'"

Great, now we'll have a bunch of Evan Turners.

 

[giga]

They fall in love with potential, they make draft mistakes, they cripple their franchises, and they turn around and tank seasons in hopes of landing the next big thing in the next NBA draft. Here's looking at you, Charlotte.

Predictions

Bulls in 5
Heat in 6
Pacers in 4
Hawks in 7

Spurs in 6
Thunder in 5
Lakers in 6
Clippers in 7

The Cats almost never take projects. They've failed because they took great college players who didn't have the talent for the NBA.

Biyombo is the biggest lottery project since Sene.

 

[Zep]

teehee

The first three sound like the Hawks.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Biyombo is the biggest lottery project since Sene.

Other than him, they've taken:

Okafor
Failton
May
Ammo
Traded pick
Augustine
Henderson
Kemba


Pretty horrible example to use for falling in love with potential.

 

[giga]

Shelden and Marvin are in the past! Teague/Horford future!

 

[likedamaster]

So a choke artist got the mvp? Wow.

Knicks winning first game, calling it.

Also, just got the 500 error. Gaf at max?

I'm not saying that your point wasn''t a good one. I'm saying when they DID take a project, they took THE Project of all projects.

 

[DY_nasty]

Yeah. Tyrus backfired pretty hard. He did great last year too. Looked like was one step away from turning the corner.

Oh well. Amnesty.

Biyombo is the biggest lottery project since Sene.

True.

But he's already one of the best shot blockers and post defenders in the league at age 19 with no help in the paint whatsoever.

Bulls in 4 (lol Sixers)
Heat in 5 (will be fun to watch tho)
Pacers in 4 (lol Magic)
Hawks in 7 (HCA was important)

Spurs in 5 (has the potential to be longer; people underrate the jazz imo)
Thunder in 7 (DAL still poses serious matchup problems)
Lakers in 5 (DEN is the ideal team for LAL to face)
Grizz in 6 (HCA was important)

Remember when Vaggy defended Billy Hunter and called him a "genius"?

NBA Players Union Under Investigation by U.S. Attorney’s Office

The National Basketball Players Association, already in turmoil after President Derek Fisher asked for independent reviews of its finances and business practices, is being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, the union said in a statement.

He's got that baby face.

In case anyone missed this:

New Brooklyn Nets gear leaks

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I would generally be in favor of raising the age limit (preferably next year so Cody Zeller can get picked #1, lol), but I'm not sure how much it would improve the college game just by itself. There's only 6-8 one-and-done guys every year, Derrick Favors being forced to go to college for two years wouldn't have made his teammates suck less at passing.

Legit.

They've had years to prepare for this and the best they got is a B on a shield?

Clean and simple. I like it.

Those 6-8 guys are the face of the sport every year though. The lack of consistent characters has made college ball exceedingly difficult to watch in the last decade.

Though I think the benefits are mostly for the pro game; its sad seeing so many incredible NBA bodies go into the league without the skills to compete. They never have the time to grow before teams give up on them.

Finally got FiosTV after just paying for Fios internet for the past year or two.

75$ a month for basic TV plan and 25/25 internet. Stoked for the playoffs.

Dope.

That Brooklyn Nets gear is fucking fantastic.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Nice.

 

[captmcblack]

They better find a way to pay homage to the other historically important Brooklyn professional team in there.

Aside from that, I think it's pretty cool.

Thats all they need. Shit is dope.

Can't wait to see the unis.
