Only certain people can actually see it?

I'm not even sure of that.

 

[THE HCP]

I made one, you have me on IGNORE too!?! I thought we were FAMS!

Here is some December news. Bulls and Heat each get a 2nd round pick taken away for their early talks.

I made one, you have me on IGNORE too!?! I thought we were FAMS!

Did you?? I searched and didn't see any.

 

[THE HCP]

Did you?? I searched and didn't see any.

You DO have me on IGNORE!

 

[THE HCP]

Does it make this place more "enjoyable" like I've read?

 

[julius]

You DO have me on IGNORE!

I do, but sly made me take you off ignore because he missed me cracking on you.

So the dog does make the riles around here?
Does he take bribes?

yes and yes

Adebayo out 6-8 weeks for thumb surgery. That is going to be rough on the Heat. I wonder what they would give us for Zeller? A loud guffaw before hanging up?

Neil: "do you have anyone 6'3"?"

Can’t they bring back Meyers Leonard?

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Nah. Bam can still wave a towel one handed - they need someone who can actually play basketball.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

You DO have me on IGNORE!

Don't worry. Some of us don't need software to have you on ignore.

Boogie Cousins with a solid 1st game for the Bucks. We could’ve used a big body over 6’6” on the roster but instead we have CJ Elleby. Boogie would probably be more productive than RoCo at this point.

 

[THE HCP]

Wow! Just finished the Bucks/Hornets game. Outstanding watch!!

Two Possible Blazer Trades…

Bagley + 1st (turns into seconds) for Cov (I’d do it)

And

Nance for Okogie, Layman and a first (turns into seconds). Stupid as hell. Don’t know how that made the article.

this isn't a rumor...it is just one guy coming up with a trade idea like posters here do all the time. And it's a Laker blogger essentially suggesting that the Lakers be in a 3 team deal so they can steal value from both the Kings and 76ers

Freedom blows.

the NBA middle-of-the-pack is crowded this season:



13 teams within 1.5 games of each other. 8 teams above the pack, 9 below

13 teams within 1.5 games of each other. 8 teams above the pack, 9 below

Is it more crowded than usual? I just figured the .450 - .550 crowd was always about half the league?

I'm not sure, maybe. It just seemed that nearly half the league within a game and a half of each other seemed tight
