    They were suspended even through they aren't playing for Portland. Shocking

    A great post until you think for three seconds about GJ’s opinions on Lillard then it sounds insane.

    Is it possible that Pritchard made the correct trade? Also, Sabonis is averaging over 10 rebounds in less than 26 minutes and shooting 66%.[​IMG]

    I truly have a great kid. He's got all the big things handled.
    • Bedtime? No complaints. 5 mins KNOCKED out.
    • Mealtime? His only dislikes are marmalade and Swiss Chard. Ummm... Ok I won't fix that shit then. LOL!
    • Relating to others? When we go places he asks: "are there going to be friends there?". They are already friends before he meets them.
    • Working hard? "nobody's gonna work harder than me Papa!"
    • Doing well in school? He gets excited to go and is sad during vacation. "School is easy. I love math and reading" "I can't wait to go back to school".
    • Choosing clothes? He likes whatever. Isn't a brand whore... yet...
    It's just the regular things that get on my nerves like having the attention span of a gnat. LOL. Typical 11 year old.

    Sounds like you are doing a great job man. Props to you. It's tough, but a rewarding challenge.

    Thanks. It is hard. Especially after the divorce. But I'm custodial parent so I make the decisions. ;)

    I couldn't have it any other way.

    Oladipo is comfortably better than anyone we could have offered. Our three picks were supposed to be the value but it might be so that Indiana just didn't feel they were worth more than Oladipo.

    I don't believe that for one second and we can't use hindsight to say what K-Piss was thinking. I'm calling bullshit.

    Oladipo has plaued ehat 6 games as a pacer? Is that Paul's numbers from this year? If they are an accumulated stat from his years in Indiana then its a bogus comparison. If they are from this year, it has to be taken into account that Paul has help in Westbrook and Melo and doesn't need to put as big as numbers. Oladipo is going to cool down. The season is still early.

    Exactly. Bad data is bad data. You'd have to take PG's numbers from last year to get a more accurate comparison. Also, Oladipo may not cool down.

    That still doesn't mean pissy should've passed on taking the 3 draft picks. This draft was LOADED and I'd much rather have 3 rookies on a rebuilding team than Oladipo's bloated deal. :dunno:

    Pistons are on fire. I mentioned in the off-season that I thought players like Tobias Harris, Reggie Jackson, and Andre Drummond would have big bounce back years and talked about making a trade for 2 of those 3 that surrounded around Nurkic, and got KILLED for it. Hoping Nurk proves me wrong but so far my assumptions have been correct. Early in the season, but damn they’ve looked good.

    Those 3 picks turned into Zach and Caleb. I like them but I doubt you'll find many people who wouldn't trade them for Indiana Paul George in .000001 of a second.

    Remember, Oladipo was supposed to be THE player of his draft. Maybe (like Jermaine O'Neal before him) he's finally found a home.

    Funny: ex-Magic players are doing great at the moment (Tobias Harris another one) but so is the actual Magic.

    If it wasn't for the fucking lucky Griffin 3 we'd be tied with Memphis for the lead.
