2015 NBA 'OFFS

kinda won a game for the clippers against the spurs too!

bj mullens was rivals #1 player in 2008 and had a worse career than austin's having

michael beasley was a bigger bust than austin too

gerald green was rivals #1 player in 2005, he was a bigger flameout than austin at least for a minute

how about ndudi ebi

austin was a top 10 pick, he's played 4,000 nba minutes, he'll get a second contract (even if it's for little money)... he's not a good nba player and everyone makes fun of him on the internet but a lot of real high school flameouts would take it

I think getting a second NBA contract is somewhat iffy. He's mostly in the league because of the sunk cost fallacy.

He is basically one or two hilarious stumbles away from being 2-0 on the road as a playoff starter.

Ebi was a long time ago man, that's my point.

also RSCI is better than cherrypicking one recruiting site.

haha poly

part of the thing with Austin Rivers is that it's just so hard to see what the talent was. Gerald Green, Byron Mullens, you can see it quite easily.

he's the tebow of basketball. it looks ugly but he's a proven winner.

James Harden’s mom says Matt Barnes apologized for his Game 2 trash talk

ha this whole scenario is so matt barnes

yah it is.

got a friend who i play ball w that says he went to HS w matt and that he was the biggest douche ever. he claims he punched (a very drunk) barnes at a party cos matt crossed a line when hitting on a girl, said he fell to the ground. idk. he seems like the type to not lie about that but who knows.

That reminds me of

yeah i mean i'm no basketball expert but i remember watching his mix tapes when he was in HS and thinking he couldn't really dribble. i'm sure some other ppl were low on him too at the time

ha i meant "scouting expert but i guess that works too u_u

I'm an SF Giants fan, so I guess I qualify! Most of what I heard about juice and injury proclivities had to do more with tendons, because you get extra beef muscle from the roids very quickly, but your tendons don't strengthen at the same rate and so are more vulnerable to tears and strains.

kevin love is a fucking baby

Boston Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk and his representatives have continued to deliver word to Love and people close to him that Olynyk wants to privately apologize to him, sources told Yahoo Sports. Olynyk wants to tell Love personally that he never intended to injure him in Game 4 of that series, that he's sorry for the shoulder surgery that'll cost Love six months.

Strangely, Love continues to rebuff Olynyk. He isn't interested in the call, refusing to ease Olynyk's guilt. For now, Love is a spectator to this Cavaliers playoff run, a player who is probably more missed on these Cavaliers now than he had ever been appreciated this season.

it was a good interview tbh, didn't seem condescending or w/e

kevin love is less interesting to me than he ever was

no I didn't mean that Simmons was condescending just calling anyone "the literal goat" is funny.

goats r so trending right now

Haha love is so butthurt

goats are generally amusing it's true

honestly I was more surprised that the interview wasnt condescending given bill's history of casual sexism (although he's certainly improved/moved away from those attitudes in many ways)

having a daughter had to help

he seemed to genuinely admire & respect her which i guess is a low enough bar but still it was an good & entertaining interview

heard wall broke his hand clashing with doctors
