@THE HCP - hate the travel, love the job?

 

could be because he held it cLose to the vest so other teams didn't see it in preseason? Sure tossed Sac for a loop.

 

Is it just me or does Simon's look taller? I've been watching him stand by teammates in pictures and during games. He looks like hes a tad bit taller than Hart and definitely looked at least 2 inches taller than Fox who is 6'3". He definitely bulked up over the summer too.

 

He kind of played bigger too on his drives. You can tell he feels stronger.

 

I don’t think so. Sharpe has a well-rounded skill set. I don’t expect teams to focus too much on him since he’ll only be playing around 15 minutes per game. I think he’ll be consistently successful with his game at this level. I’m sure he’ll have bad games here and there but overall he should be fine. He doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses from what I see.

 

He looks like he’s about Terrence Davis’ height. Davis is 6’3 barefoot, 6’4.5 in shoes.

I think he is just playing bigger. If he made that first dunk, he would have 3 in just the first game alone. 3/10 from 3 last night—if this was last year, Ant would’ve probably ended the night with 10-12 points, not 22 points. That’s encouraging.

I don’t really remember noticing anything about his defense last night, which is a good thing because I noticed how bad it was last year.

 

I think the @Chris Craig guy said that this is him joking and we’re supposed to know that.

 

Pretty sure Winslow+Bledsoe could've been had for free given that Bledsoe was making 19m a year and Winslow was barely playing (and wasn't playing well). Then we threw in two established high level role players for an unproven, raw rookie who might not amount to anything in the league.

Anything about "Winslow being worth it now" isn't a good argument because worth is relative and at the time he was worth nothing to the Clippers. That just explains what a mismanagement of assets is.

 

Nothing to do with basketball but the fact that the anal bead story, which was crafted by a chess meme subreddit as a joke, has been relayed as serious by so many news outlets drives me nuts. Shows how trash most news sources are nowadays.

 

I drove Uber in Portland so I could watch my favorite team play. It was a blast. Currenty, I work as a peer counselor for people who need mental health services.

 

Why be hesitant? Enjoy the here and now.

 

It was a good trade.

 

I read on here you also act a bit. When you were here did you happen to notice a small theater called "Imago Theater"? It's obviously not New York and it's very small but i have a lot of fun watching shows there.
