Around the NBA - Jan. 2017

Why is no-one asking what kind of assignment it is? Maybe it is an assignment in service of the queen. Can Tim Q be our Bond, James Bond?

Back in my day, it was an honor to be called The Big Q. Even Elizabeth II would have punched you for calling her that.

 

[jlprk]

Halfway throught the 1st quarter, Cliff Alexander is still on the Erie Bayhawk bench. Big Q is probably still in Portland.

 

[BonesJones]

Please for the love of God let us trade Evan Turner for Tyson chandler. I don't even want Tyson, just fucking take Turner out back and put him down.

That's kinda fucked up.

 

[BonesJones]

DJ Khaled talking about Lillards rapping lol. Said he would like to work with him.

 

[jlprk]

Halfway through the 2nd quarter. Cliff Alexander made 2 dunks and 1 hook, but missed 3 layups. In 8 minutes he has 6 points shooting 3 for 6, with all other categories zeroes including rebounds.

This year, D-League games are only on Facebook, not YouTube, so I won't be doing play-by-play, since I refuse to have a Facebook account.

Lol. It's funny because there's a chance this is a serious question!!

Someday your turn will come young person.....but you won't remember when it does which is true freedom

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm seeing rumors about a joakim Noah for Evan Turner trade....why the hell would we do that?

I would do that, no problem. (I would insist they throw in Mindaugas Kuzminskas, natch.) Although Noah is pretty much always injured these days. But when he isn't, he's basically Plumlee only with really good defense. But where exactly are you seeing these rumors?

Noah is pretty much always injured equals the Blazers should not go after him. The blazers tally of injured big men that have paid off are not in the positive...I don't remember exactly where I saw, I was cruising rumors and came upon it.

Smart ass.....

I swear sometimes you just make up these names to see if anyone is paying attention. This one sounds like a villain from a Star Wars movie.

Star Wars? Sounds more like a Young Indiana Jones tv show communist bad guy.

Yeah, Star Wars would be more something like put a light saber in this guys hand and call him Mandinkan Pantinkian:

[Nate]

That's kinda fucked up.

 

[dviss1]

I've seen it called against the blazers actually this year... I think
But I don't get how you can't call it here it's really obvious he's doing it for too long
I mean the whole knicks bench was screaming for it

No ref is gonna do that. Any fan screaming for it should stop. But here's the thing:

Look at the lead ref (ref on the end line). He counts to 3 and PROPERLY breaks his count when GA's shoulders turn perpendicular to the rim.

He doesn't have his back to the basket for 5 seconds.

 

[dviss1]

Derrick Lulz! The guy is a chump. I wonder if there's any correlation to eating tons of candy? Aren't both he and Odom known for eating massive amounts of candy?

So was Marshawn Lynch.

 

[dviss1]

god damn I love this

That MF actually said no. Haha.

 

[illmatic99]

God, what a petulant child. Can you see any of these current Blazers draw so much attention to himself?

 

[selloutking]

been seeming like the lakers are really on the hunt of late, with our luck they will probably land all the things we were hoping the blazers would get

 

[BBert]

Fuckers

 

[Sarni]

They don't have much to offer for Noel. Cannot offer their picks before 2021 or something crazy like that.

 

[rotary111]

The Lakers also are hoping to get Noel etc. without breaking up any of their young core.

 

[selloutking]

deff makes you think we could put together a better package than what they can, but still...

 

[rotary111]

Funny that Crabbe and Noel are both improving their stock at exactly the same time. The two that have been suggested to be involved in trades for each other.

Neil: "Look Allen, I know you're looking forward to moving to Philadelphia and finally getting that full-time starting gig you've been angling for, but with the way Nerlens has been playing, if you want that trade to go down, you're going to have to play a hell of a lot better than you have been."
Crabbe: "No problem Mr. Olshey. I've been holding back a bit, but if you can promise me you'll move me, I'll give you everything I've got."

Lost me at "looking forward to moving to Philadelphia."

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Should have revised that to "playing in Philadelphia and living in the Hamptons."

 

[illmatic99]

Having lived in (west) Philly for 2 yrs, I feel like people hate on that city too much. Center city area is awesome. Very liveable.

Proximity to NY of course is also awesome.
