Classic!
All three networks that carry the NBA (NBAtv/ESPN/TNT) have outstanding pre- and post-game shows. I can't remember the last time on a Sunday I watched an NFL pre-game or post-game show, and same with NCAA football, but there are times that I won't watch the 4th quarter of a TNT game, and then tune in solely to watch Chuck/Kenny/Shaq/Ernie and their 3-ring circus.

Hold on a second. Al Davis actually won titles, and until he became senile and weird, knew as much about football as any executive in the NFL.

Re: The 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......
Rubio is off to another 14-16 PER season, and still can't shoot. 33% from 2pt this year going into tonight. He's a good passer, but not all-time great, because he turns the ball over.
He is what he is ... an average NBA PG who needs to be a role player on a good team, instead of a "star" on a bad team.
He reminds me a bit of the soccer player Freddie Adu, in that he was so hyped as a youngster, then became just and average player professionally as an adult.

DMC is unstoppable.....except when he thinks he is a PG. I have never seen someone make some many great plays, and follow them up with extremely dumb moves. He keeps getting better though.

I would hate to have to put so much faith in such a mediocre player

The guy they traded away on draft night is the perfect PG for Love and Adelman's system: Ty Lawson.
Rubio's shooting will hold that team back.

Re: The 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......
Everybody in Portland knew that Kahn was a joke after his whole 'Bring MLB to Portland' failure.
He then keeps Flynn and Rubio, and trades away Lawson.
Also, it's amazing to me that Freddy Adu is only 24, just as Rubio is only 23. Neither of them really ever developed their games after being so good, so young.

What's hilarious is that twolf fans point out lillards fg% when talking him down when Rubio can't hit the broadside of a barn

Lillard is off to a tough start overall shooting (40%), but even with that has elevated his PER so far from 16.4 as a rookie to 19.2 in his second year.
Meanwhile, in his 3rd season, Rubio is regressing back to the 14s in PER.

Which, ironically, started page 70.
But, I think I'm going to up my post per page. Though, I like the bigger numbers.

All this shows is the Leastern Conference is a bunch of fucking losers that would rather tank than so any sort of respect of the game. I hope they all fail and somehow some 6th-7th worst team wins the #1 pick, #4 wins #2 and #5 wins #3!

The Lakers, if in the lottery, will get the #1 pick.

I would agree if they were 5-8th worse. Anything higher would scream conspiracy. No way the NBA pulls the trigger.
