what was it
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:40 (six years ago) link
btw after the game when the teams were milling about congratulating each other and so forth simmons was smiling and being magnanimous and seemed like not maybe a total asshole, embiid had already fled
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 18:43 (six years ago) link
embiid missed simmons on a couple cuts to the hoop, one where he was wide open and simmons threw a little fit both times.
reddick snipping at mcconnell after he got in his precious way was a bad look too.
embiid walking away seemed kinda out of character to me? he was congratulatory on twitter after tho

obvs the raps have to be ready to blow it up which im not sure really makes sense for them

To not run into give or take the best player of all time every post-season.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:12 (six years ago) link
yeah its just they have all these other big contracts even if they unload lowry theyre kinda still in the same boat just not as good
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link
tho getting whatever they can for their guys going full rebuild and waiting out the contracts they cant move is prob the best plan, def a bitter pill to swallow when u finish first in yr conference, idk maybe masai can work some magic and rebuild the team on the fly w/o bottoming out, tough task in this case
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
The perspective of a Raptors fan like me is that it's never been as good as the past 4-5 years and finally there is some basketball at the forefront in Canada, to blow it up might send us back to the dark ages.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link
could just shuffle the deck you know, lateral trades with other players stuck in similar situations?
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link
Also Masai is very good and really in the end I blindly trust him.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:26 (six years ago) link
it's not his fault his top 3 players wet the bed when it matters most.

At night I go to sleep and I'm smiling because I know that what I'll be dreaming of is Boogie signing to Toronto as a FA don't wake me up you monsters.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:27 (six years ago) link
man i would want NO part of boogie post achilles tear
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
yeah thats a might risky path, tho if you could get him on a two year deal with a team option for a third it might be a worthy hail mary for the raps, prob have to do a sign n trade with the pelicans for valanciunas + filler
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
cld def see boogie taking a big short deal since prob no one will want to commit long term, tho the political situation if brow is demanding he be brought back cld force nolas hand
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
we're gonna learn what kind of GM skills brow has. is he draymond or is he lebron...
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link
he seems really loyal to boogie but he cld just be talking that way for appearances sake who knows
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:36 (six years ago) link
i mean looking at how they played after boogie went down and then learning anything about recovery from a ruptured achilles shd send anyone running in the opposite directions but maybe brow just doesnt think like that
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link
really the best thing wld be for him to force a trade to the celtics
theire ceiling is higher w boogie but yeah, they should just invest in putting the right pieces around brow.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link
the right pieces around brow are gordon hayward jaylen brown kyrie irving et al
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:41 (six years ago) link
actually its steph, klay, kd and dray
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link
hmm no that seems bad
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link
FA Boogie is as much about Boogie than it is to convince, at least to ourselves, that Toronto can be attractive place for FA. I think the window has very obviously shut for this generation, but that it can use the talent to build goodwill around the franchise.
I say this and I am not aware about how bad an achille tear is :’(
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:44 (six years ago) link
basically the worst injury a basketball player can get
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:45 (six years ago) link
if the dubs added brow i think they cld go undefeated
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link
most athletes do it in their mid 30s so there is some hope there. the only positive ones i can remember are dominique wilkins and i guess uh michael crabtree?

only way this happens is if KD wants out at some point
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
yeah theres no way from a salary pov but imagine if he was just magically on the team next year, or even better if he was on last years team
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:50 (six years ago) link
the number of turnovers embiid makes from doing pointless shit is out of control, badly needs to hone his game down to stuff hes actually good at / get good at more stuff
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, May 10, 2018 2:32 PM (one hour ago) Bookmark
embiid shooting 3s and euro stepping and stuff is cute but he really needs to learn like how to pass out of a double team and also how to... pass out of a single team
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link
ha yes

Philly gonna have some FA juice now at least.Nobody's mentioned Brett Brown. My buddy loathes him. Unfair to place the blame on him but do think he's a middling coach at best.
xp Embiid is so young and relatively inexperienced. He seems smart tho and hopefully he's coachable.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link
gotta ride w brown at least for one more season i would think. 76ers should be going full bore at paul george imo.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:05 (six years ago) link
yeah not real impressed with brown as a coach, love his olde timey maine accent tho
― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:05 (six years ago) link
oh yeah george wld be perfect for them
hey no hoop for three days, what should we do?? how about run another feature about lebron vs mj!!!!!
