    I'm going out on a limb and saying Houston Rockets.

    Soon all will bow before the massive global domination of the English Premier League. Plus Barca and Real Madrid, I suppose.

    I'll never bow before a sport played by greasy Eurodouche floppers who find it acceptable for a 90 minute game to end in a friggin' tie, lol...

    Your job will be to die off, then, because it's coming.

    And I never really got the complaint about the score. There's a reason you don't interrupt the flow of a "soccer" game for endless commercials - it's the flow that's the point. An ex-roommate of mine once asserted about basketball: "there is no rational reason to watch any but the last 5 minutes". Is he wrong? If so, it's for exactly the same reasons you are.

    Charlotte played better in the playoffs when he was injured. Hard to see a cash strapped franchise pay a player like Batum who doesn't really make them better the supermax.

    Well, that's one job we're all eminently qualified to do. And the flow of well-played soccer is beautifully elegant. Right up until someone feels a tug on their "kit," (lol...) and goes down like he's been shot. And ties blow, period.

    Nic has Max salary talent, but doesn't possess the passion for the game to live up to it. I don't trust him.

    Nic should sign with the San Antonio Stars. He would rule.

    LMA was not a fan of Nic. I'd be shocked if he went to the Spurs.

    I got the impression from LaMarcus' tweets after the 2015 play offs that he was specifically calling out Nic's play and that the Blazers traded Batum to show LA they were serious about getting more talent around him.

    And then LA left shortly afterwards. Might cause one to question that rumor.

    Exactly what rumor am I foolishly not questioning? I just said, "I got the impression from his tweets".

    Exactly what rumor did I start? Or did you take my impression as fact because you think I'm an NBA insider?

    We are NBA online forum insiders, not NBA insiders, it's a little bit kind of the same but not really... :mob:
