a prof journalist over here
i'm sure we've all asked these hypothetical questions to ourselves. "if everyone on every roster were on their deathbed, would the nets be the best team in the nba?"

top 8 must be solid xpost
― moullet, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:08 (ten years ago) link
yeah 8 solid guys is usually good, trying to think of a recent team top team that was legitimately 11 deep it just never happens
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:10 (ten years ago) link
well they all have literally at least 11 players

breaking: brooklyn is in playoff position
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:12 (ten years ago) link
4-0 in 14.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:13 (ten years ago) link
why isn't detroit better, i thought they might be alright this year
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:18 (ten years ago) link
i was a skeptic but they are def worse than i expected
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:19 (ten years ago) link
i guess brandon jennings + josh smith ain't really winning basketball tho
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:19 (ten years ago) link
jeannings really suck and monroe/josh is a cruel overlapcant watch them anymore
― moullet, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:20 (ten years ago) link
they sould trade monroe + whatever for gordon hayward, doubt utah would do tho
― moullet, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:21 (ten years ago) link
Yeah seems like they should still improve a little but we've kind of made mention that Josh Smith is basically the worst fit and brandon jennings kinda just sucks. j Smoov needs to never shoot outside of 5 feet but he has no business being in the paint on this team when monroe and drummond are in there.
― Spottie, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:22 (ten years ago) link
did they really give smoove $14mil a year dang
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:22 (ten years ago) link
every atlanta fan mustve been loling so hard aver that contract

Lakers announcers now huge fans of the hackahoward strategy
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:23 (ten years ago) link
was joe dumars just like "well we've got to sign somebody we have all this money, it'd be embarrassing not to spend it"
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:24 (ten years ago) link
like maybe think twice about giving a big contract to a guy whos entire fan base yells nooo every time hes about to do a thing he does all the time
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:24 (ten years ago) link
he's been known to do that before!
Charlie V and Ben Gordon
― Spottie, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:24 (ten years ago) link
hah i forgot about that charlie v signing, it's weird how everyone though joe d was a couple years there
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:26 (ten years ago) link

the nyer piece on lurie from a few years ago is a total hatchet job and p amazing

That's exactly it, and if they find a sucker for for a trade partner some day it might be worth it

one of the worst foul calls of all time on a point blank missed layup by one of the morris twins there

tonight's Plumlee-Pekovic matchup is sponsored by GNC
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:33 (ten years ago) link
eastern conference features epic first round battle between no. 1 pacers and no. 8 nets. lock the brackets now.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:36 (ten years ago) link
Pekovic really is a solid, decent defender. Big gap between him and Love there.

yo i know right
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:37 (ten years ago) link
why? I mean he's not very good any more at all but he was a blast in the mid 00s with those suns teams.
― Spottie, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:37 (ten years ago) link
the thing I always remember with Barbosa is that when he came out in the draft he wasn't really on anyone's radar but there was this talk of a "Barbosa tape" of his Brazilian games that was blowing everyone away
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:39 (ten years ago) link
wow dont think the nba was ready for that type of thing back then but now people are more open minded so itd prob be ok
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:40 (ten years ago) link
why don't we have more athlete sex tapes? There was that Trent Richardson tape that was supposedly out there...
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:41 (ten years ago) link
wow this john lurie nyer thing is maniacal
― Clay, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:42 (ten years ago) link
its a good question like we know they all love to jet blow jays in front of each other and everything xp

today the phrase "who wants to sex mutombo" passed through my mind for no particular reason
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:55 (ten years ago) link
i hope the answer was "everyone"
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:56 (ten years ago) link
I sometimes suspect the nyer thing was a joke that lurie and his "enemy" were both in on, and that the writer may or may not have been in on

ya something about it feels very not right
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:58 (ten years ago) link
tho unfortunately i suspect the explanation is more mundane
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 03:59 (ten years ago) link
it def feels like these guys live in a slightly different reality than i do
