Today is Monday. They don't play till Friday and Saturday. The Snake has lots of time to improve his game from NBA level to real basketball.

 

[Minstrel]

This is an outrage.

[Orion Bailey]

Laymans lives matter!!!!

 

[BBert]

Layman's drives matter!!!

 

[TBpup]

I wonder, if out of habit, the first time he gets the ball, he turns around looking to immediately hand it off to Dame/CJ on the weave?

 

[jlprk]

After 2 games 4 and 5 days from now, they don't play until 9 days from now. So Snake will last only 2 games in the big league. The Big Q lasted 3, so he's better.

[riverman]

This should be easy Layman!

 

[jlprk]

What's sad is that Snake won't get to display his game in the Big Apple. The games after his (9, 11, and 12 days from now) are vs. the Long Island Nets and Westchester Knicks. The critics writing for the New Yorker might have sniffed the glitter and glamor of the spectacle.

Box scores give the attendance. Going backward, their last 5 games were

1164 http://dleague.nba.com/games/20170111/WCBERI/

My theory is that there are 464 parents, waterboys, broomsweepers, mascots in bear costumes, and coaches following around every game.

Shall I assume you'll be creating the game threads?

 

[Trackjack]

He needs playing time so it should be good for him to get his shot back.

I refer you to this post in another thread, which refers you to another post in another thread.

That's a lame excuse. You're going to have to toughen up a take one for the team. Don't you remember the good 'ol days of Stampede glory when you, Riverman and I were glued to the game threads, coaxing Crabbe from his shell? We made him the $70 million dollar player he is today.
We could do the same for The Snake. MY GOD MAN, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

jlprk won't release his taxes either.

 

[Cippy91]

Well we could be giving those minutes to Layman instead of fucking pat. Seems this is what we always do. Here, go to the D league, we wont develop you but we will let you go for nothing later on. Will barton, tim frazier, etc.

So now you want me to register with the CIA, I mean Facebook, and post my every profound revolutionary theory, the ones too long for the mini-CIA, I mean Twitter. They blackmail us with carrot and stick. The carrot is cozying up by the fire to watch a luscious D-League game. The stick is getting tortured over the fire while watching TWO D-League games.

The rest of the guys like you call them manifestos.

I use them to remind myself that sleep is amazing.

I don't want to know about your addiction to barbituates but hope you sort it out!

I miss the good old days when I would set my alarm to wake up right before the D-League game, knowing that my fans here were waiting.

Just like after ESPN banned Gramps so I took over the predictions game. I had no TV, same now, and free live semi-legal internet games like I watch now weren't available. So I followed the changing box score online, typed the numbers into my spreadsheet right before the game ended, then the game ended. As fast as I could, I typed in stats from the last seconds like the last basket or rebound, sorted the prediction participants by how they ranked, and posted the beautiful straight columns within 5 minutes of the game ending. I really had it down. When the pimply teenage moderator wiped out months of my posts including predictions posts, it was lost online, though game results are still in my old hard drive. Including my posts at the ends of seasons with how everyone ranked for the whole season, etc.

Alas, my fans hunger for my D-League threads now, but I can no longer satisfy them. Younger, inferior talent must arise to supplant the stars of old. While your movies and music may suck, I wish the best in your continuing endeavor to perpetuate the high standards we elder stars created in Hollywood. And when you have to set your damned alarm clock to wake up for a D-League game, always remember...That's Showbiz!

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I swear, if HCP starts making threads for The Snake's games, there is nowhere you'll be able to hide. Not even Point Roberts.

You know the area. They gentrified Fairhaven and keep trying in Birch Bay, but they can't. So uh...why don't you and Riverman do a D-League thread? Try it, you'll like it. If you tell me in advance, I'll concurrently post my deep insights gathered from the online boxscore.
