AROUND THE NBA DECEMBER TO REMEMBER EDITION

I’ve been posting since the O Live days.

So, wrong.

And I don’t care if they stop replying or acknowledging. They are the ones who come AT ME FIRST with wrong information.

And I’m not mad at anybody. I think it’s hilarious that they act like I’m dumb or can’t read… you should read what Wiz was writing to me before about SMALL guards in bold and caps and neon letters.

 

Knicks lost though

 

Simons’ start actually did mean something. Got us the 3 seed and paved the way for first WCF in 19 years.

 

He's good, but he's no Darko.

 

While we're doing this: Robin Lopez All Star!!!!

 

Oh Boy.... That made me laugh.

 

the Knicks have 3 small guards...Kemba, Rose, and Quickley. That's who he was talking about when he said he didn't think he should play 3 small guards. Go thru your 5 man lineup pages and see if you can find any that had those 3 starting. You're free to believe that Thibs thinks Burks, Fournier, and Barrett are "small guards". I'm free to believe you're being ridiculous if you do

 

Thibs called them small, again, yesterday.
BlazerKor seemed to even acknowledge it.
“I view Kemba as a starter, and I can’t put him in the starting lineup because then we would have 3 small guards.”
?????????

And to be clear, Thibs says their small guards.
I’m the one who said he is LYING and was making a BS excuse to yank Kemba out of the lineup when he was playing poorly.

 

@wizenheimer ??? This was YESTERDAY!

 

And?

i don’t care if they lost or not.

this isn’t about their record

This is about someone, incorrectly, trying to call me stupid for saying Thibs called his guards small.

 

It means something, unless it's followed up by years of nothing.

 

But is he going to eat his way out of the league like Zion?

 

if I directly called you stupid, I'd apologize for that.

I just do not believe Thibs thinks Barrett, Burks, and Fournier are "small guards". If he does, he'd be about the only person in the NBA who believes 6'6-6'7 is small

Evan Fournier 6-7
Alec Burks 6-6
RJ Barrett 6-6

he took Kemba out of the rotation while leaving Rose and Quickly in. That made it pretty clear what he was thinking

 

Interesting comment:
One of the reasons for the decline in effort and attention to detail on defense has been players’ opinions about how they’re being utilized on offense. The Athletic asked Unseld about that issue Saturday after the Wizards’ shootaround in Salt Lake City.

How do you explain his quote then?
Twice now. From his own mouth.

At first you said, he was talking about all the other guards on the roster. He directly disputed that yesterday.

So is he lying to the media? Does he really think his guards aren’t small?

If he is lying to the media + believes his guards aren’t small, doesn’t that mean Kemba was benched for… poor play?

Honestly I don’t even care if you call me or “my posts” stupid. It’s all in good fun (for me). I have been wrong A LOT! So… it might even be accurate at times

 

Interesting. Seems like we are lucky to have Dame as a leader. At the end of the article it talks about the poor communication between teammates and staff.

I doubt that’s true for our ship.

 

Lakers had a chance to win in Chicago tonight. Late in the game, LeBron posted up Caruso, got both feet in the paint and tried to force a pass to the corner which got knocked out off the Lakers. On the last play, down 2, they let Westbrook take the ball. He attacked Vucevic off a switch and was short on a short, contested jumper.

 

I wish we could bring him back. I’d approve of RoLo for Nurk
