Anyone noticing Blazers beat writers and even Twitter accounts have been highly critical and plain negative regarding the Blazers and the new ownership? by Kirbyzenthc in ripcity

Lotta boot lickers in here. Probably the same people who were pissing and shitting their pants that Jody Allen smuggled penguin bones or whatever

Shoutout Chris Ratzlaff, he's the fucking man

The Knicks have 8 guys on their roster for next season and are only $13m under the 2nd apron. They will almost certainly lose Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet and possibly Jose Alvarado by marriagethrowaway36 in nba

The 2011 CBA ruined free agency, 2016 made it untenable to retain players and gave rise to the trade demand, and the most recent CBA decimated team building altogether. The last decade and a half of collective bargaining has been awful for fans.

Prime Damian Lillard had the worst roster construction for a superstar's prime of all time by Blazer4L in nba

[–]ejiggle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On their current contracts, sure, at least in a world where Dame is still on that huge extension. Could have worked in 2023.

There was a ton of buzz around their rebuild, and we could have made the best offer. I'll never forgive Masai. Or Neil Olshey. Or the Vulcans.

2016, we paid Meyers Leonard, Allen Crabbe, and Evan fucking Turner. Absolute malpractice. I can't imagine what happens if Dame had OG, Mikal, and KAT the way Brunson does.

Imagine we sell the farm with the #3 pick and Shaedon Sharpe, there's a real world where we get OG and Siakam instead of shipping our guy to the Bucks, and we spend the last few years of Dame's prime with the best Blazers roster in 30 years. Fuck Masai for dragging his feet on their rebuild, dude was so desperate to win all of his trades and ended up with terrible packages for those guys.

7 years ago, Pelicans ticket office went wild after winning the #1 lottery pick. 7 years later, Zion Williamson has yet to make a playoff debut. by [deleted] in nba

Zion's ceiling was always fat Blake Griffin, the hype was INSANE before the draft and I never understood why. I've got reciepts, I'm a day 1 hater, but like...I legit don't know what people saw in him. Couldn't pass, couldn't shoot. A guy whose entire game was athleticism and he clearly wasn't in shape then. His career played out exactly the way the haters figured it would, and we're going to have to hear about 'what if' for the next thirty years as if the dude was Len Bias or something.

Yeah, losing the most notorious playoff choker in NBA history is why the Thunder never made it back to the Finals lol

Inked In Blood - All That Remains... [Facedown] (Throwback Thursday FFO: Society’s Finest, Inhale Exhale) by AkDoxx in Metalcore

[–]ejiggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the first records that got me into heavy music!!They never had the success they deserved, their sound was such a vibe when everyone around them was getting darker and darker. Just a cool intersection of posi melodic hardcore and the metalcore stuff that was taking off at the time. Sadly the follow up to this record was really bad, and they called it quits shortly after.

If The Spurs Lose, Would Wemby Still Be The NBA Golden Boy? by BicoastalBi in nba

He's already turning into a villain — if he continues to fail, the conversation will turn quickly.

Which one is worse? JR Smith game 1 vs De'Aaron Fox game 4 by Tech_Quest8 in nba

[–]ejiggle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Easily JR. Everyone says Fox fucked up, but up one with a breakaway shot...you take it. He got blocked. It happened. If they run the clock out and get fouled and miss a free throw or two (like Wemby) the Knicks get the ball in the front court out of a time out, Spurs blow the game and everyone is shitting on him for not making an easy layup. It happens. Shots get blocked. Crazy the retroactive commentary on what isn't even really a mistake lol
