This may be a question for Cory Jez but has "Fat Fuck" ever had higher usage than in a Raymond Felton thread?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Ben Simmons gonna go from 5 years 177 million to league min salary player.
This is why I don’t believe in the tank.

This is what is known as a non sequitur

According to basketballreference.com, in the 2011/2012 season, Raymond Felton led the league in FFP/48 (Fat fucks per 48 minutes), and also led the league in ROTUND score, which is like the LEBRON stat accumulation, but for failures.

Maybe to you but then i need to consider the source.

Cutting edge news there Chris!

 

[riverman]

I thought the league was going to put a stop to obvious tanking....guess not.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Why the “Injury Plagued “ statement? They are not injured? Seems well past a question any longer?

for the season they were. Between Dame, Grant, Ant, Hart, Nurkic, Winslow, Payton I count around 170 games missed from injury...and that adjusted a little from the late tanking. Blazers have faced injury issues this year

And people wanted to give up the farm for him. He's one of the worst players to ever be paid the 175 mil+ and it's not close. Love knowing I was right AGAIN. Lmao.

Draymond Green just can’t keep his mouth shut. Even someone in his own crowd in San Francisco could be heard yelling “sit your ass down!”

The point of the post was more about him being a “Can’t Miss” #1 pick.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Gary Payton playing.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Guess he’s gonna “Thug it out”

Not really. Take the Payton and Winslow games away and you don’t have nearly as many. Then take Badgi out and you really don’t.
The core was healthy most of the season.

Warriors looking good and I’m so jealous

Why? You’ve proven here you aren’t a fan of the Blazers.

Somehow thru intel we need to figure out who Sam Presti wants in the draft and pick him

This is an organization that knows what the hell they’re doing

On the one hand, I've got to agree. They've got Williams AND Giddey looking much better than anybody thought they could be, not to mention finding players like Dort and the OTHER J. Williams.
But on the other: they just lost to Charlotte.

Sidenote: Charlotte's form makes me want to fire Chauncey even more. They're playing the best defense in the NBA by some measures and they've got a roster of nobodies.

We just signed Skylar Mays. Who tf is this guy?

 

[Labinot41]

Idk, probably someone in case we need to go hardcore on tanking

 

[theprunetang]

I don't know, but he's untouchable. If the Blazers trade Skylar Mayes I will flip my shit. I swear.

Looks like he's a 6'4" combo guard out of LSU that was drafted in the second round of the 2020 draft by the Hawks.
