Around the NBA: 2022 Offseason

Never cease to amaze me

 

[PDXFonz]

Same.

You’re just built like a *Insert Binomial Nomenclature* Larus Canus

I don't get this joke.

I don't get this joke.

Prune is an Ornithologist.

I had to google it… But I told him he isn’t skinny, he’s just built like a common Gull.

I had to google both. I guess that “Binomial Nomenclature” means “scientific name” in layman’s terms. Where it is the Genus and Species.

When Larus is the genus and Canus is the species. Therefore it seems most gulls would be referred to as Larus …

Just a few years ago it was reported that the Blazers had some interest in this guy.

 

[THE HCP]

Because I relate more to being thin as a rail than being fat as a school bus.

And being white?

You're the only one bringing race into the equation here.

And?

Ironically, a few of us, myself included, asked how Chet is any different from Bol Bol once he experiences a similar and inevitable injury setback. That wasn't received well by Chet fans, because we all know you can't compare players across racial lines.

Life is too serious as a Larus canus. I'm much more like a Leucophaeus atricilla.

Dumb it down, sir!

All i'm gonna say is the Wolves always find a way to suck

Luka Garza kind of looks like a younger Matt Dillion.

 

[Shaboid]

And being white?

Not sure that's relevant to my preference. To be completely honest I'm not a big fan of Chet or Zion.

Why cant you? Not trying to be sarcastic and really dont know why? I compare players of all types, college and pros w/o any thought of race. I have a multi racial family and its a wonderful thing.

You may have been trying to not be sarcastic, but I wasn't.

 

[Mr. Robot]

classic nurk, having a great game, then fouls out

luckily we won, that game was absolute madness, surely one of the best & craziest games in our history, beating a france is a huge upset, especially for our team that has three professional players and the rest are amateurs (cause they suck) and the head coach is not good, lets put it that way... amazing, amazing what happened, pricks made me really proud of them today

Rumor is Lakers will be 3rd team in Utah/NY Donovan Mitchell trade. They'll give up picks but they'll get Bojan and Evan. That definitely makes the Lakers better which sucks.

 

[THE HCP]

So I post THIS pic on Instagram the other day and look who finally decided to start following me!!!

 

[THE HCP]

Merge with the Melo thread if need be.

I think this should more likely be moved to the Donovan Mitchell trade thread, since we know how much you care about that content.
