my nikka Dr. J going for the tongue down on Pam McGee

 

[Brozay]

I just don't see the Nuggets being that good of a team this year. I don't think Shaw is a good fit for this team. McGee isn't meant to have more responsibility. Gallo being out for a while will hurt them. They have basically no defense at all. I see them with like 35 wins.

They won 57 games last season though, you really think losing Iggy and Karl will account for a 20 win drop?

They are a hard team to forecast.

I agreed more with Bill that defensively they could be and lose some ground in the West.

I never understood the Bill Simmons hate on here, there isn't a writer out there that loves basketball more than this dude.

he's a racist cac from Boston that worships the Celtics

that alone disqualifies him

the nuggets don't have a star player, so they aren't going anywhere anyways once they make it to the playoffs.

Pistons shouldve BEEN up. They built badly.Supposed to build around Monroe and Drummond and get shooters. Instead you get this dumb ass nikka Josh Smith to brick 3's all season long

Yup he's written about wishing he was black when he was a kid.

For one thing, I loved basketball as much as anyone could possibly love basketball. Loved playing it, loved watching it, lived for it. And much like Salami, I was undergoing a little bit of a racial identity crisis. I loved the Celtics so much, wanted to play for them so badly, was obsessed with it ... and I couldn't help but notice that there weren't too many white guys on the team. Or in the NBA in general.

So when they asked us to draw pictures of ourselves or our family in elementary school, I started coloring in my face. When that stopped getting the message across, I gave myself a Muslim name and started calling myself "Jabaal." I was 7. I'm not making this up.

Losing them two, Brewer off the bench, and having Galinari out for a couple of months I think will. Now that I rethink it though I'm thinking more like 45 win range. I don't see them getting more than 50. I think the West's top teams got better as well as the top 5 teams in the East as well.

Bill Simmons racist?

The guy who admittedly wanted to be black when he was younger is a racist?

Talk just throw around that word.
