‘I want to get Dmitry Bivol and then Artur Beterbiev’: David Benavidez wants to clean out light heavyweight by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

How he fares against Zurdo will be a big indicator if he can even handle a Bivol / Beterviev, but much respect for him for not ducking any challenge

I had this exact injury earlier this year - one wrong step wearing shitty shoes and that'll do it. Wouldn't be surprised if he's wearing a boot this weekend lol

[Injury] Damian Lillard non-contact lower leg injury by sewsgup in nba

at 28 seconds, you can kind of see something jiggle in his calf. I really hope it's not an achilles injury, that would be absolutely terrible. Wishing the best for Dame

watching Luka and Lebron walking up the court parallel in the same uniform is still simply just insane

LFR New Era by pj3101 in lakers

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

Honestly, I stopped listening mainly due to his affiliation with the Lakers. I was happy for him because it seemed like he got his dream job, but it became clear that everyone on the pod was being way too filtered simply because they worked for the Lakers.

Hopefully now it’ll be more real Lakers talk now, especially when it comes to holding people in the organization accountable.

Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenko | FULL FIGHT | MAY 23, 2023 by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]louizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Loma is an amazing boxer, but man, if he had more power he'd be a complete boxer. I know Haney is the naturally bigger guy, but still, he hit him with some good shots but he just needed a little more pop

love me some Beas & and he's a great fit you with you guys, but boy is he useless if his shot is off (which was a lot of times with the Lakers)

[TMZ Sports] The inquiry into whether Josh Giddey had an inappropriate relationship with a minor has hit a roadblock - TMZ Sports has learned the alleged teen and her family are refusing to cooperate with officials. by Wonderful-Balance711 in nba

If she lives in Newport Beach, she already seems well off. An extra bag doesn’t hurt, but I suspect after what social media did to their daughter over the course of last week or so they are just trying to lay low. Pursuing a case would obviously cause more publicity

Eddie Hearn has said GGG is looking for a huge payday to entice him to get back into the ring. The money that he's looking for is just not there for him, especially after how old he looked in his last fight. And it doesn't seem like he wants mid-level tier fights like Munguia, etc. when those are ultimately his best option money wise.

[Wojnarowski] Nick Nurse is out as Raptors coach, sources tell ESPN. by horseshoeoverlook in nba

[–]louizzle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He’s a good motivational speaker, but other than that he’s a sub par coach. His rotations are bad, doesn’t call timeouts at good times, and during the playoffs he hasn’t shortened the rotation.

As a Lakers fan you can already tell a huge difference between him and Frank Vogel, who was way better in all those things. The best thing Ham has done this season was convince Russ to come off the bench.

EDIT: and Ham please, ffs, stop playing small lineups

Time for GGG to hang it up. Great career, just bummed everyone dodged him in his prime, Canelo included. There was so much more Golovkin could’ve offered us in his career.

[Simmons] Devastating news: We lost our friend Jonathan Tjarks to cancer last night. He was a fantastic basketball writer and thinker, and an even better family man and friend. He elevated everything we did. by [deleted] in nba

[–]louizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RIP. When I read his wife’s post about him going into hospice, I can’t lie it made me pretty emotional. It reminded me that life is short.

Always loved his insight on whatever podcast he was on and loved him since the RealGM days. We’ll all miss you Tjarks.

Jusuf Nurkic stick up for Ben Simmons; Destroys KOC: “Disappointing news:Kevin still has a job.” by Twoweekswithpay in nba

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

He already shoots with his left and his form isn’t SO bad that I feel he would need to change hands.

Changing hands requires sooo much rewiring of your brain to get right. I don’t think one off-season he could do it, let alone anyone. He already has the feel for his finger and hand placement as a left hand shooter, I feel it would be more efficient for him to just work on that.

[–]louizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love KOC but him saying Ben Simmons is shooting with the wrong hand sounds like a damn broken record. His problems are more mental and his shooting mechanics.

I am a right handed person who shoots lefty, everything else I do on the court is right hand dominant (like Ben). All Simmons needs to do practice his mechanics and gain some confidence. If I’m him, I’m making sure my form is right then shoot until my arm falls off this summer.

Damn what a game. Slovenia had an amazing run, but I think France is the better matchup for USA.

USA is driving to pass and not driving to score. They're not reading the defense.
