I sure ****ing hope you're joking with regards to bolded. PICK UP IS PLAYED WITH 1's AND 2's :|

Jesus christ it tilts the **** out of me when I play pick up and morons are all like "1's only"-- lOL STFU, that's idiocy. Some of my friends were playing like a few months ago, and after getting up 6-2 on some really good regulars at the tulane gym, the regs were like "LOL its only 3-2 there's no 2's!" ****ing idiots, unfortunately my friends did not stand up for themselves-- but that sorta **** obvioulsy has to be called before the game starts.

I would seriously have refused to continue the game and left the court if someone tried to pull that crap on me.

2s/3s >>> 1s/2s....Who the **** plays 1s only?

uh, i agree about pickup, but this was a league game. this league is kinda like the D-league, it's really low quality, so i shouldnt be surprised.

Yeah this isn't right, they cant do that

uhh i would just repeat "no, 6-2, but we can play 1s from here on out"

Yeah that wouldn't have flied. I would have insisted upon the score being 6-2 first, but some of the regulars are complete dickheads and think they are the greatest basketball players in the world and demand respect-- there's no way they'd give in so I'd prob just leave after telling them how ****ing stupid they are.

And ah didn't realize yo uwere talking about a league game. I'm going to get my ass kicked , sigh, it's ok though.

BTW we'll go to this place when you come-- Noze can come too if he wants obv, but he's probably been here plenty-- http://portofcallnola.com/

Greatest hamburger you'll ever eat.

Also the fact that you're in a league, and the league chooses to play 1's only, makes zero sense. If you're in a league, that implies that people are better at basketball than normal right? Shouldn't you want to play by the ....oh I dunno, normal rules? 2's/3's or 1's/2's!?

Someone fix this so it reads "Oden Gonna Oden Once Every 20 Games"

you would think so. I think it was expert gamesmanship on their part actually - they took a bunch of 3s. We did not.

Cmon this is too easy...

This exactly.

if this was the EPL thread I'd be calling Arenas a tosser

So the guy that's shooting < 40% from the field yet is chucking with no regard for human life (usage over 30%) is call out their most dependable player the last 4 years?

I realize Butler has also started slow but Gilbert should worry about his own game first and STFU

Banks expiring + Antoine Wrights expiring + Patrick O'Bryant for Butler get'r done Colangelo!

Banks doesn't expire.

Frankly, Caron Butler is most responsible for the Wizards' woes. Here is what we know:
-He has logged a near-team high 410 minutes, all the while shooting 48.6 TS. Ouch!
-He has a 5.7% assist rate. This is lower then every person on the team seeing somewhat regular minutes aside from Antawn Jamison
-His defense has noticeably slipped, as his box score stats and DRtg are pretty bad for a "stopper"
-Has offered relatively nothing else positively.

I mean this dude has generated 1/10th a winshare 1/8th of the way through the season. He's on pace for less than 1 total WS!

Gilbert hasn't really been much better, but:
-He has a slightly higher (yet still awful) TS
-His AST% is at least in line with "#1 option" territory
-He's atleast on pace to produce more than 1 WNS, lol
-Is the guy coming back from an injury, so more leeway is expected

Frankly, I think the Wizards are poorly constructed. Also, the coaching is prettttttty bad right now, bc Flip seems to be running an offense where everyone just jacks a terrible 2pt jumpshot.

The sickest thing is Haywood is playing well, and given age/bouncing back from injury I don't think this was expected.

Edit: Obligatory Chilltown APM-call out, APM sees DeShawn Stevenson getting major minutes (205 so far?) as a major travesty. He's almost certainly hurting the team, and almost certainly doing so at a really negative clip. The only positive player "likely" is Blatche.

Don't need APM to see that Stevenson is a travesty to the game of basketball. I'm glad it agrees though.

LOL

watching cash cab, i can *always* tell if they're going to go double or nothing. call it my "innate gambling sense" but i can spot the nits a mile away.

Those kids in Tanzania probably have the 19-0 Patriots T-shirts too and think the Buffalo Bills are the greatest dynasty in the history of the NFL.

For you Victor:

If I remember correctly:

I shed a tear, this is just so pretty

Did anyone else read this? Its an open letter from Wayne Winston to Bill Simmons.

lol Wayne Winston.

the blog post was actually pretty good. more like lol bill simmons.

Wow, WW is a terrible writer.

This stuff can be so simple and he turned it into an unreadable mess. Granted this should be expected from an academic, but this guy should be smart enough to know he needs a ghostwriter/editor.

The part about Belichek was good. The fact that he still thinks Durant was a net negative is lol-worthy, but of course as an APM follower you would agree.

Ramon Sessions is a top 8 NBA PG.jpg
