I remember years ago, Shaq swung at Brad Miller the same way. And people on TV were like "Brad Miller is lucky Shaq didn't connect!"

First thing I thought was that Shaq was lucky he didn't connect because he would've shattered his hand. And then I thought it showed Shaq didn't know how to fight, and also that the idiots on TV just thought because Shaq was a bigger star he'd win automatically no matter how inept his punch was thrown.

Why would Shaq know how to fight? Imagine your whole life in Shaqs body. Literally never have to worry about getting into a fight.
 
Build yourselves a yard and porch and hit retirement, you old fucks. :ghoti:

On the reals, this is cool to read.

Kevin Love was born in Santa Monica CA. He is not an Oregon boy.

So if you’re born somewhere and move at let’s say 3 years old to Oregon you aren’t an “Oregon boy”? Honestly asking not being argumentative. I was born in LA and then moved here but never considered myself an LA native

Love was an Oregon boy. His dad was a Duck. Just wasn’t born here.

True. But I believe Shaq at one point claims to have been a bully and got into fights.

Well, Sabonis' son was born in Portland, so he's an "Oregon Boy" and an "Oregon Native".
 
Off the current topic, Dillon Brooks had a good game today for the Grizzlies (17 points/5 rbs/2 steals.) I can't believe we had two prospects who would have gotten playing time for us right off the bat (IN THIS STATE) and we fucked it up!

Excuse me while I go drink a bottle of Everclear.

I hope you're getting paid for all these product placements.
 
Wait a sec till I flick my Ray-Ban® Clubmaster sunglasses from Light Gradient to Glare-free mode. Ah, there you are, dahling.

I didn't go to Central, but I lived close to it. I went to Buckman, and probably would
have gone to Washington (err, Washington-Monroe) if we hadn't move. I did briefly
consider Benson and yes, Grant, but Grant was pretty far away.

BTW, do you know where the thread you made of me with the picture of Mike Barrett is?
I haven't been able to find it since a certain dog changed the title from the memorable
"Wizard Nerd".

No clue brother. Sorry.

Pelicans blew a lead in Atlanta in the 2nd half. Same like us

Bazemore looked good last night. 20 points, hit the game winning shot with 2.1 seconds left and then made a good defensive play at the other end.

In other news, Demarcus Cousins complained about the officiating.

Pfft. A bunch of nerds from Portland now think their high-school teams belong in the "Around the NBA" thread. Can't wait to hear about your middle-school all-star dunk contest.

So step right on up and tell us where you was raised. And by the way if you actually read the thread it was a conversation about a fight IN THE NBA this week.
 


In the tweet storm that followed this @SlyPokerDog actually called this.
I went and looked for the tweet i swear he called this two days ago.
Kiki V is calling Paul and Harden the Peacemakers in the whole thing.....
 
Can't believe we simply threw in Willy Barton in that deal for Afflalo. Man that guy looks better than Batum was in his stint here, and he got a 25 mil/yr contract.

Sure would look awesome as our SF right about now

Fair enough. There should be a DACA bill for him. :D

Why? It does not belong in the "Around the NBA" thread either... - but you are taking me too seriously. I do not mind it, just saying it in jest.

You know what, now that I think about it. Terrell Brandon won all 3 of our Middle School dunk contests!

I was pretty much joking also bro. Always take what i write on here as light hearted entertainment.
I probably should have added a little more jest on that. Maybe even a ;-) winky eye?

There it is. I simply could not find it.
Now we have to find out what kind of puppies were saved.

Not to worry, it's on topic now.

Maybe i'm wrong here but i have always looked at the Around the NBA thread as kind of a chat room type thread that doesn't ever really stay on topic?
Kind of drifts all over the place like a dog looking for where he buried his bone....
