Once again the NBA drops the ball again on sunday national tv game coverage.

Instead of having a nice quad header the NBA let's the fans down by not having the ability to nationally flex televised games on their various outlets.

We should have this sunday slate

Pacers at Celtics 1:00 - ESPN
warriors at wolves 3:30 - ABC
Jazz at Pelicans 6:00 - ESPN
Cavs at Lakers 9:00 - ESPN

With streams and league pass you shouldn't be complaining about this shyt.When was the last time there was quadruple header that wasn't the playoffs?

only fans that are let down are the ones who don't know how to search the internet

The Reddit nbastreams is free to all with high quality hd streams with no lag. Yet nikkas complain about games.

I will never understand

Quick lesson about "assumptions" and "try to pass it off as fact."

When someone says, "more likely than not," they are not making an assumption or trying to pass something off as fact. They are making an educated guess.

When someone says, "he'd be a lock" and proceeds to definitively predict the future, THEN they are making an assumption and trying to pass it off as fact.

The self-ether of berating me for your own behavior. :snoop:




And calling someone a "lock" to make an All-NBA team when it'd been three years since he made one is foolhardy. Let's break it down as it looked in summer 2017:

Steph, Harden, and Westbrook were assumed in. That's three spots already gone.

The other three spots voters were filling in were going to be between Butler, Dame, DeRozen, Wall, Beal, Klay, CP3, IT, Lowry, Kemba, and Kyrie. That's eleven guys fighting for three spots. And that's assuming no one else makes the leap - say Oladipo, Booker, Holiday, McCollum, Mitchell, etc. Kyrie might beat out 10, 11, 12 of the guys I just listed and still not get the votes to make an All-NBA team. And at least half of those guards had the advantage of being the feature player for their team.

You were assuming that IT wasn't gonna make the All-NBA team anymore (could Kyrie assume that in summer 2017 when IT had been 5th in MVP voting the previous year?), but you ignoring that even if IT didn't make the team, Kyrie wasn't even close to being the next man up. Kyrie was tied with Klay for 23rd in All-NBA voting with just 14 points, you needed 54 to make the team. Dame was right behind them with 12.

In 2016 Kyrie didn't even get a single All-NBA vote...and even worse, guys like Harden, DeRozen, IT, Butler, Wall, and Kemba still didn't make the team. That's how tough the competition is for a spot.

The next year, barring injury, Lebron, KD, Steph, Harden, Kawhi, Westbrook, AD, and Giannis are probably locks to make the All-NBA team. Probably. That's it, and by the way, that's most of the team already taken.
There are 30 or so talented players fighting for the other 7 slots, and 15 of them got more votes in 2017 than Kyrie did. :yeshrug:

Ya got me.:mjgrin: But I was referring to this presumptuous quote

that money was never on the table

In 2016 obviously he wouldn’t have gotten any votes as he missed a 1/3 of the season coming back from the kneecap injury from the finals and in 2017 he got penalized for the Cavs collapse during the regular season. Everyone had the Cavs as a 60 Win team coming off that championship and when they slumped towards the end and even gave up the number 1 seed that sealed Kyrie’s fate.

He definitely was one of the 15 best players last year and I would have honestly not had Jordan and Butler over him . But I get the positions play a role.

However this year IT and John Wall were not going to be in his way, he was ascending as a player and I believe his role would have increased even on the Cavs.

Bryant contended that the woman gave him oral sex for approximately “five seconds” prior to the sex, and that everything was “consensual.”

At one point, when police described the accuser as “attractive,” Bryant corrected them. “She wasn’t that attractive,” said Bryant. Then, when officers asked him about “finishing,” he replied, “I didn’t finish a fukking thing,” adding, “I jerked off when she left.” When asked by officers if he’d ever cheated on his wife before, Bryant replied, “Um, yes, with one other person. And she could actually testify I do that um, I do the same thing, I hold her from the back, I put my hands (inaudible).” “Her name is Michelle,” continued Bryant, adding she’s a “frequent” partner of his.

Police then inform Bryant that the accuser “has a bruise on her neck,” to which he replied, “Yeah I mean that’s you know me and Michelle, that’s what we, we do the same thing,” said Bryant. When officers ask Bryant how often he has sex with “Michelle,” he replies, “A lot. She’ll tell you the same shyt.”

5secs of oral:dead:

Yea it def not the shoes. When you’re ankles are as damaged as this nikka’s they lack stability. Meaning it’s always going to roll on the slightest amount of pressure.

We’ve seen it time and time again. Where he’ll roll his shyt with minimal contact.

I wonder what this dude ligaments even look like:lupe:
