It's the "white man can't catch a break" syndrome. At least I feel a little white guilt over screwing Vancouver, even though Francis sucked anyway.

That happens about as often as Cloving making a serious post. Are we suppose to dig through the trash to find that one reasonable comment?

You are better than this.
I know that the Lakers have advantages over other teams (location and history) but this whole discussion was around The Junior Blur trying to ignore the tank job the 5pur5 did to get Timmy and pointing to bu-bu-but Kobe forced his way to LA!!!
You do realize that Kobe could have become Sebastian Telfair at the time he was taken, right?
Not a fucking thing was guaranteed.
Timmy was #1 overall.

I still don't understand what you're arguing. Every rookie is a gamble. He still forced his way in there. I think this has gotten to the point where its separate from TCB's ramblings

you know, i know
we all know
that without injuries, the Spurs are gonna rooollllllll
why u frontin' homie. Embrace the FIFTY
You know Pop is resting starters on the final night and the Warriors will win.
Which stupid team would do that? No one is trading down from 1 or 2.

Because people are using what we know about Kobe today to somehow frame it as Jerry West and his cronies screwed 12 other teams outta Kobe Bryant we all know today.
That's why I said, if any of those other teams knew the future, no fucking way Kobe would have forced his way, anywhere.
Hell, Philly would have taken Kobe over AI prolly.
No one knew who or what the fuck he was gonna be and that certainly helped things.

Yea, but it isn't black and white, there are shades of gray.
Was Magic as much of a gamble as Kobe? Was LeBron? Was Carmelo? Larry Bird? Tim Duncan? Shaq?
Kobe was a much bigger gamble than any star of his caliber.
Scouting reports by position had him behind Kittles and Ray.
I will concede nothing.
OK, I'm scared of the Spurs. Only thuggery can save us now.
The Thunder need to sign Eduardo Najera.

Look at that smile. The Warriors don't have a smile like that, not after the season they're having. If the Jazz have taught me anything, its that smiles win FIFTY.
Corey Joseph and his Austin Spurs* are going to lead us to the promised land
*the Toros are temporarily renamed the Spurs for these next 2 games, and these next 2 games only
Najera is out for the year.

He didn't throw the ball. It just started levitating, wanting nothing to do with that photo.
Does he have to be "healthy" to put on a uniform and inflict some thuggery on Ginobili?
Didn't think so.

I think either the Knicks or 76ers will lose in 4 to the Bulls, interesting moves by both...

The last 4 times the spurs have won 50 games they have failed to win a ring.

Wait a second, that Jenkins pic was taken at media day wasn't it?
I knew something was fishy. No man could smile that bright with the way the Ws are playing.
These are much more recent pics of Jenkins:
Hes tuned the fuck out.
We already won.

The Knicks might have to out-rest the Sixers.
There was once a team from the northwest that moved down from Deron/Paul because they had Telfair.
ryutaro's mama

But Telfair has a pedigree bloodline!
They better don't. Especially if the Hawks fail to take care of business.

They got us beat on the tank. They can lose both and us too but we still end up doomed vs heat unless magic lose to the bobcats.

TBF, the Knicks would have home court in the first round if they get the 7th seed.

Hot fire, Mama spits that.
True...and Knicks vs Heat will be fun to watch. Maybe we will get to see JVG leap out of the broadcaster's table to grab Wade's leg.

Wade would flop if that happened.
You might be able to get #3 and Beal from trading up (eg if NOH gets #3) but as I said no one is trading trading the top two picks in this draft.
No, they need to lose both. Shortened season so you can only go by winning percentage.
Even MJ isn't dumb enough to trade away Davis or MKG
i thought most people didnt have MKG going #2
ryutaro's mama

I've not seen much other than Davis/MKG as top 2 with Beal/Robinson just behind.

Even that won't save them.
i dunno why i commentated, we arent gonna win that coinflip and if we do we arent moving up.
That was my point. And if you do move it's unlikely to be top 2. Not sure what IWMTB is smoking
