yeah feel like dwight would make kobe seem ok to hang out with in comparison

kobe can we go to mcdonalds
no
well can we stop i have to go to the bathroom
sigh ok fine
i have to got the bathroom at mcdonalds

*10 mins later dwight gets back in the car w/ 2 happy meals*

haha

hey pornstar I know you're rejecting me, but I have a large penis surely that's something you don't find boring

ha

ever seen one of these before, ever seen this particular one

fav dwight memory is when he called himself superman and put on a cape because i don't think a dominant orlando-then-lakers center had used that nickname before right?

backwards lakerfan dealwithit is killing me btw

i'll definitely remember his promises about free throw shooting every offseason

oh hey

so can someone give me a hollingeresque breakdown of why okc is so bad now even though they're 8-3?

:) xp

because i definitely wouldn't have traded the beard and they have issues but that seems fine right?

i mean, they're 8-3

the only team they've lost to in the last two weeks is the grizzlies... i think they're fine

theyre 3rd in defensive efficiency and 10th in offensive efficiency so they seem to be doing ok so far

tbh i have boycotted most of their games so far

theyve played a pretty easy schedule so far

theyre on vs the clip tomorrow

i guess watching some first quarters- worst time to see them since you get the perk-ibaka-thabo dud on offense- combined with pundits going nutz combined with not really paying too much attention made me surprised to see that they're doing that well

Martin has been absolutely nuts for them, shooting something like 48-52-95

i mean, they still have the second and maybe tenth best players and that ought to get you pretty far

oh yeah i have seen that martin is shooting the lights out

The Hornets aren't going to win much, but I like their moxie.

martin as yr third option is p ridic

except when he has to play defense

or rebound or pass or w/e

he is an amazing scorer tho

yeah he's a terrible third option on defense

they were saying on tv that okc was pleasantly surprised that he wasnt actually the worst defender in the world but who knows if thats true at all

d'antoni coaching debut tonight

Metta has been kinda alright this season

D'antoni on hackadwight "he was making one of two, and 1 point per possession is pretty good basketball"

smh

kind of otm?

austin rivers is averaging second most minutes of any rookie behind damian lillard, has the lowest PER

1 point per possession is pretty bad basketball.

ya that's like one of the five worst offenses in the NBA bad

i mean in theory he's right in the sense that if you're guaranteed to get at least one point in a possession it's pretty good bcuz it will balanced out by ones in which you get 2 or 3 points, but yeah you don't want to be getting a point per possession

yeah that's why i said kinda, you have to shoot better than that for it to be ok - didn't realize dwight's shot <50% from the line for the last 2 years, yikes

wow i totally missed on sunday that the pistons beat the celtics by 20, what in god's name

yeah heard in the second half they were basically just trying to pad rondo's assist line

some of rondo's "assists" were pretty questionable too

That's on the Piston's scorekeeper. You'd expect some padding at home but not on the road.
