Michael Crappaport needs to STFU with the dry snitching on NBA The Jump. Dude was saying that Ben McLemore purposely tripped James McAdoo while heading to the basket the other night. No one on either team broadcast caught it then but two days later , they wanna bring it up ? :what: cac talenbout suspending Ben for five games for that? :whoa::pacspit:

The Kings are already without :rudy: , Casspi, Garrett Temple, Ty Lawson and Malachi Richardson right now.


fukk Jason Terry too trying to say some slick shyt about Sacramento on the low :cuzout:

Hoe ass nikka. *end rant*


This cac is annoying as fukk and brings nothing to debates on Sportsnation or The Jump. I don't know why ESPN fancies him so much, but I wish he'd go away.

I think he was talking sideways about Kaepernick on Twitter too. fukk that dude. Automatic mute whenever he's on TV.

@Malta do you think one of the reasons the eastern conference has never really got the top quality teams that the west has is because all of their teams end up treadmilling because everyone else is treadmilling? As in all the teams that might otherwise fight for the top picks end up trading a lot of wins that makes them go farther down in the lottery, which is basically what Philly avoided by being so extremely bad.

I mean the Heat, for example, are a team would benefit from getting a top pick this season but they went on a huge winning streak and now are close to a playoff spot in the east(even though they're still nowhere close to 500). That won't benefit them in the long run. I'm aware that the Western conference 8th seed is lower than the East's btw, but that's not really the point here, the top 7 teams in the west hurt the other teams records more than the Eastern teams do overall.

Same shyt happens to teams like the pistons and bucks. Having a top 5 pick would do wonders, but since the rest of the east is pretty much where they're at they end up getting a middle lottery pick.

And this isn't some recent thing, it feel likes this has been a constant for a long time. The bottom west teams, due to the strength of the West, end up near the bottom of the standings and end up with a great pick. The Suns have the 2nd worst record in the league, but a winning record in the east. I think it's safe to say if they were in the east they'd be in a position closer to what the Bucks are opposed to in line for a top pick. The West got Davis, the West got Wiggins, the West Durant/Westbrook/Harden, etc. I know they're not all top picks and West has a higher success, it seems, of finding superstars later in the lottery than the East, but overall it seems more of the top talent ends up in the West than the East.
