Time to get this thread back on topic!

Went out to the Silverton Christmas Market at the Oregon Gardens this past weekend. I was just disgusted at the quantity of penguins in their light displays.

wasn't Joe Dumars fired for leaking a league memo? And now they're giving him a trophy named after him?

Those designs seem boring and in some cases, stupid (the trophy for the best record during the regular season...woopty do)

Of course there is another who has labeled him "Trash"

 

[HailBlazers]

Nembhard is legit

Tied with Nurk for 3PT%

Curry is a career 43 plus percent 3PT shooter, Dame hasn’t even hit 40% in ANY season. Dame has many famine level droughts

My bad. So he only had 1. My point still stands

Steph is the best shooter in the history of the game. Dame not being as consistent as Steph isn't a legitimate criticism. Every shooter goes through hot and cold stretches... Steph being the greatest of all time goes through less cold stretches than anyone else. That doesn't prove your bullshit "feast or famine" theory. Dame has made the ninth most threes in the history of the game and done so on 37% shooting from three. That's fucking great. He's one of the greatest three point shooters of all time. So quit whining when he has cold stretches like every other player in the history of the game.

Good game between the Mavs and Nuggets.

Does this guy really believe this stuff he writes?

The Nuggets had no business losing that. Let Hardaway cook them.
Do they have Penguins in Denver?

The Nougats don't do defense. Any team with capable scorers on a good night can beat them.

I refer to them as Aldo Trippinballs

Because everything I’ve seen them post makes me think they must be trippin balls.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

everything id see them post

I think along these lines also. Aldo must be multiple people or possibly personalities?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Ja must be stopped!

He does have a point. Seems like traveling calls are yo league wide and May be a point of emphasis. I hope he starts getting called for it more.

Yeah, they let that slide yet they love calling traveling on players 30 feet from the basket when they catch and take a quick step before they dribble. I don't get that one because it seldom gives much of an advantage to the ball handler. I just don't understand why they are so strict on that, but not with what Ja does.

I think all most fans want is consistency. A foul is a foul no matter who it is. A travel is a travel, no matter who it is. A foul is a foul no matter WHEN it occurs.

Either it is, or it isn't. Don't change it arbitrarily.

 

[THE HCP]

Traveling is definitely a point of interest with the league and officials this year. It’s funny how whenever they zoom in on a certain aspect of the game to call tighter, it normally goes back to “normal” around all star game.

My friends on the Hawks broadcast crew said the studio and broadcast truck were freaking out!!!! Said he’s in stable condition at the hospital now. How ducking scary was that!

 

[Chris Craig]

Didn't know you could go into convulsions from dehydration. That looked bad. Glad he is doing ok.

I can only imagine. They must have thought they were watching someone die.

They have paramedics on hand at the arena right? Good they could get to him quickly.

Oh yeah, paramedic teams in the “wedge” they call it. Side tunnels. But lights were out, action on the court. So scary.
