KarnBarlow:He couldn't even make a FT. Terrible |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 10:38am On Nov 26, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:You can't fake a fracture. It's either fractured or not. You can't undergo a surgical procedure twice because you're faking an injury. But I'm not surprised it's coming from someone who believed LeBron fractured his hand but healed in hours like wolverine. And yes, we suck and we're tanking for one season. You deserve an award for noticing and not sleeping about it. ![]() 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 10:45am On Nov 26, 2019 |
People are trolling Embiid for having 0pt. Have you not heard about on court load management? ![]() Towns would be somewhere laughing. And our potential MVP had 6 second to go but decided to take a spin deep 3pt from like 38ft. Someone who doesn't even attempt 15ft shots. The 76ers need to remember they are not even the 4th best team in the East. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:10pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: A franchise that can blatantly throw away games like you lot did today can do anything. Its embarrassing. I mean the least you can do at this point is hire Hinkie ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:39pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
SmooshCHN:The East is too complicated to rank. Its all about matchups IMO and philly even with their lack of shooting will present a challenge to anyone in the playoffs due to their length. That being said...

The administration of some Antetokoumpozine and Doncičillin would surely cure that over time. A40: |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:21pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
SmooshCHN: Oh please. Everyone knows the warriors are a classless organization. Sent Zaza to injure kawhi, got KD injured, paid JR to sabotage the cavs, blatantly faking injuries and tanking this season. Its embarrassing! ![]() |

The Lakers face the pelicans and the wizards next. And then things get bumpy. I think we are about to find out just how good this team really is. |

KarnBarlow:Ohh STFU. KarnBarlow:Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not bald. And if I were I would own it. No shame in it KarnBarlow:So you admit your MCM is a hypocrite. Thanks that wasn't so hard now was it? KarnBarlow:Why should there be repercussion for others? Over a tweet. That would only make his point. KarnBarlow:I don't underestimate the power of populism. Still the average M.A.G.A dude is probably not buying Jordan's or Brons anyway KarnBarlow:Who has done this successfully that you know of? You're going to alienate someone at some point. That's just the truth KarnBarlow:It's his principle. Whether you like it or take offense. I have seen people end up in financial ruin because of trying to help everyone around them. KarnBarlow:Ohh shut up man. You people have a drug problem. You can deny it till you're blue in the face. Every tribe with their flaws, I don't know why you're so sensitive and in denial of the truth KarnBarlow:It is a credit to Brady's greatness that he is keeping New England afloat without an elite receiver, tight end or running back. You could list the top 15 in each skill position none of them play in New England. I dare you to name 1 title New England won without monster contributions from Brady at each point. KarnBarlow:The least you can do is not to put a fake link. Besides unless you can show me an instance of Jerry Rice throwing the football and then running to catch it then you have no argument. He's also been the beneficiary of a great team and having Steve Young and Joe Cool throwing him the ball. Tom Brady plays in the games most important position and so is the GOAT KarnBarlow:Shut and admit your goof. You used a wrong word and that's that. Your insecurity comes from your inbuilt disdain for people that rear cattle (heaven knows why it's part of your identity) If I see an Indian or a Pakistani youth for instance I assume he likes cricket, right or wrong where is the bigotry in that? Your insecurity complex is your problem not me KarnBarlow:You lie unprovoked KarnBarlow:Nigga Ronaldo is 35 with 5 CLs to his belt and league titles in 3 countries. He's in overtime as far as I'm concerned and has nothing to prove. You cannot divorce team from individual brilliance. This is not Futsal and Messi is not taking all 11 players by himself. This is just disingenuous on your part. KarnBarlow:Man STFU. I'm not a silly ageist like you. Whether you're 20, 30, 50 we're all on death row anyway KarnBarlow:Even worse, meaning you would be in your 30's and 40's toggling between your multiple personalities. Hell you could wake up one morning and decide you want to be a 6 year old girl. Lool ewwww. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:17pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
Pointguardusa:The key difference between these guys and a Ben Simmons for example is that they want all the smoke |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:19pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
SmooshCHN:Yeah I know what you mean but in a way it's also a fear in a sense because the more good products come from Europe the less opportunities for American kids and trust me the apathy would rear it's head 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:29pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
SmooshCHN:Ben Simmons is a fraud. This ninja stopped shooting from Midway into the 3rd quarter when the game got really tight. Then with 6 seconds to go is spinning and launching 3's. This is a ninja with supposedly high basketball IQ. I don't know what people watch sometimes He is averaging 13pts for the season ![]() ![]() |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:39pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
A40: Hes averaging 13 points as the fourth scoring option on his team. he averaged 16 and 17 along with 8 assists and 9 rebounds his first two seasons. I dont know how one instance takes away from his basketball IQ which is evident throughout games and the way that he plays. His only flaw is that he doesnt have a jumper. I'm not the biggest simmons fan but i just can't deal with irrational hate. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:47pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:More proof that he doesn't want the smoke. How in the hell is he a fourth scoring option? It's what an inferior scorer will do. Ben Simmons is doing the bare minimum and whether you like it or not that is why Philly is struggling to take the next step. Great players give the team what it needs at all points in time. They know when to facilitate and when to take over. I see Ben Simmons not doing this and I'm pointing it out because it didn't start today. He doesn't just lack a jumper, he literally cannot do anything besides a dunk or layup. He's way worse than Giannis the same Giannis people insist need to improve I don't hate Ben Simmons. Stop throwing words recklessly and irresponsibly. These are valid criticisms |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:12pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
A40: Not having potential is one thing, not capitalizing on that potential is another thing. The man pointed out that Simmons had/has MVP potential but hasn't capitalized on it. You claimed he never had it to begin with which is just not true. I can't believe you lot are making me defend Ben Simmons. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:23pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
I am beginning to buy the argument that C. Wentz is a product of media machination and a complete hype. Dude has not matched up the expectation even after Foles departed. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:25pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:You were a Ben Simmons fanboy why are you denying him now in his hour of need? ![]() Being a #1 pick does not mean you have MVP potential. It's why I said the word needs redefining as it's been thrown around very loosely. He had size and could handle the ball but really what else? He had no J and no real go-to move besides dunks and layups, he also wasn't dominant with mad hops so it's not like a Zion or Bron where you literally had to get out the way |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:48pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
Roland17:Bro Wentz has no receivers. Agholor and Jeffrey cannot catch a cold and his deep threat Desean Jackson has barely played. Maybe Wentz is guilty of holding on to the ball a little too much but his weapons are Skint! The real hype job is Jared Goff |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:31pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
A40: These same cats caught more than fire for Foles! Top QB’s do not make excuses about injured or unavailable receivers worth more experienced cats especially when you now add Z. Ertz (TE). It is impossible for me to agree that his healthy receiving core are bums. He has Whiteside, Mathews, Ward and Sanders, while they are not top tier, these cats are definitely not scrubs, not to now speak of DJack, Jeffereys and Agholor when healthy. Thing is Wentz has been very poor this season, infact since last season. I have watched him enough times to know this. Dude is missing very open throws, in-case you missed the game against Wilson and the Seahawks, you may want to see that game again. He has become a fumbling/ interception machine, I don’t know the exact numbers but they are pretty high. As for Goff, I figured DCs will figure him out after last season and have more info to game plan for him. |
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 6:41pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
A40: Fat Chance. Their record would have read something like 8-9 and by now the "AD has no Help" crowd would have sprung to Life. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:45pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
chic2pimp:Exactly. Giannis style might not be aesthetically pleasing to a purist but there is something about a baller that wants all the smoke on both ends of the floor. Somehow some way they will have their team playing better than their talent levels |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:52pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
Roland17:This same Foles is in Jacksonville and we are seeing the beat down he has been receiving these past few weeks. Even Zach Ertz is having a down year. Whiteside? Lool! Matthews has been cut! Sanders is a borderline scrub and the less said about Agholor and Jeffrey who lead the league in drops. No receiving corps have dropped more balls than the Eagles. It's easy to pick up this recent game and pile on Carson but his receivers have been either injured or poor and that's the truth |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:53pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
A40:Truth hurts. Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not bald. And if I were I would own it. No shame in itIf you're not bald then where the hell is all this anger coming from? So you admit your MCM is a hypocrite. Thanks that wasn't so hard now was it?So are all the people claiming to be outraged. Has there ever been an activist who wasn't a hypocrite? Gandhi was a racist cunt who especially had a seething hatred for black people and was allegedly a nonce. MLK was a reverend and a minister who was sticking his pecker into anything that moved. Malcolm X for the most part of his activism was a racist who ironically was fighting against racism. That doesnt take away from all they've achieved for their community and it certainly doesnt take away from what LBJ has and continues to. Why should there be repercussion for others? Over a tweet. That would only make his point.Why shouldnt there be? Hes dealing with "monsters" remember? if truly his cause is worth fighting for and that was what he conscience told him he shouldnt have apologized. I don't underestimate the power of populism. Still the average M.A.G.A dude is probably not buying Jordan's or Brons anywayBut yet they're more likely to buy jordans than brons. Who has done this successfully that you know of? You're going to alienate someone at some point. That's just the truthA lot of UFC for starters. I've noticed jones for instance is a master at playing these gray lines. Even Masvidal and Nate who are supposed to be the realest in the UFC didnt want to say something about Trump to affect their PPVs. I watched Kevin hart and the rock dance around the kap issue and said so much without saying anything because they have a movie coming out. It's his principle. Whether you like it or take offense. I have seen people end up in financial ruin because of trying to help everyone around them.Granted, that is a genuine issue especially for ballers but 10 dollars to the homeless every once in a while wont put barkley or MJ in the red. Ohh shut up man. You people have a drug problem. You can deny it till you're blue in the face. Every tribe with their flaws, I don't know why you're so sensitive and in denial of the truthLOL Whatever you want to believe. I agree, all people have their flaws, but again you brought ethnocentrism into this not me. It is a credit to Brady's greatness that he is keeping New England afloat without an elite receiver, tight end or running back. You could list the top 15 in each skill position none of them play in New England.He still has the follow pats listed top 10 in their position. Jon Jones was at number 1 for a while. James White - 8 Joe Thuney - 6 Shaq Mason - 9 Jon Jones - 2 Devin McCourty - 9 Jamie Collins - 9 The last super bowl the patriots held their opponents to 3. I reckon thats pretty impressive and edelman was the MVP. Nothing about Brady looked extraordinary. The least you can do is not to put a fake link. Besides unless you can show me an instance of Jerry Rice throwing the football and then running to catch it then you have no argument. He's also been the beneficiary of a great team and having Steve Young and Joe Cool throwing him the ball. Tom Brady plays in the games most important position and so is the GOATIf my claims about jerrys records are so absurd they have to be fake, how about this. If i list his 100 plus records, will you admit hes the GOAT? Oh and Brady isnt the beneficiary of a great team? LOL Shut and admit your goof. You used a wrong word and that's that. Your insecurity comes from your inbuilt disdain for people that rear cattle (heaven knows why it's part of your identity)Nope, everything about your post reeked of bigotry. First your comments about me sympathizing with beggars because begging is in our culture and then your stereotypes about herding cattle. Stop being duplicitous, you were trying to insult me based on my ethnicity. Thats bigotry. Its not about insecurity, i've had various shades aimed at that which i've ignored on this thread and yours was blatant. You lie unprovokedMe? Lie? Never! Nigga Ronaldo is 35 with 5 CLs to his belt and league titles in 3 countries. He's in overtime as far as I'm concerned and has nothing to prove.Dude, one thing ronaldo does on the pitch better than messi and we can move on. Ronaldo of course has nothing to prove, hes top 5 maybe top 3 all time. Probably the most complete scorer ever but hes not better than messi. He just isnt. Man STFU. I'm not a silly ageist like you. Whether you're 20, 30, 50 we're all on death row anywayIts not ageism, its called maturity. Even worse, meaning you would be in your 30's and 40's toggling between your multiple personalities. Hell you could wake up one morning and decide you want to be a 6 year old girl. Lool ewwww.I dont have any mental illnesses and if i did it would be out of my control. It is however within your control to act your age. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:59pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
A40: LOL I was the first person to argue he didnt deserve ROTY on this thread, the first person to mock him after his 1 point game in the playoffs. I'm certainly not a fan boy. He was a decent scorer, elite facilitator and capable defender coming into the league. The only obvious weakness in his game was his jumper and the belief was he would at least develop that to the level of a Magic who himself didnt have a reliable Jump shot (the man shot with one hand dammit). Has Simmons sh-t the bed so far? sure, but i'm just saying. The potential was there at some point and may still be there. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:01pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
chic2pimp: Not really, go check out the run he went on after boogie went down from the regular season and into to the playoffs. Oh and AD played in the West. This Bucks team is solid, well balanced with good role players and again, they're in the east. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:02pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
Roland17: I'd like to see you chime in on the NFL GOAT debate. Brady vs Rice, who do you got? |
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 7:06pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
This nigga said name one thing Ronaldo does better than Messi then went on to say same Ronaldo na probably the most complete scorer ever. Olorun oba o. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:08pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
donlittle25: Theres a difference between being the most complete and being the most prolific. R9 bastituta Muller were probably more complete scorers than messi but certainly not as prolific. |
