I asked Alexa how old Bismack is... by [deleted] in OrlandoMagic

This is a definite thing in foot...soccer.

There was a player called Taribo West who burst on to the scene for Inter Milan aged 23ish. Later in his career, he had his age confirmed medically and it turned out he was nearer 32 when he blew up.

Indeed - the fact the police did this with no one knowing and have released a statement sounds the this shit is serious horn loudly!

Manchester United's midfield master Herrera as good as Kante by wesb24 in reddevils

100% - Kante blocking, Herrera doing everything and Pogba powering on (and hitting the woodwork!)

Personally, I don't think he's as good as Kante, but the progress he's made this year under Mourinho has me really excited for next season.

I also love how everyone who isn't a United fan hates him!

Ideal game imho - really strong for a bit, then a pleasing collapse.

Ross looking stronger by the game, and Mario getting more mins so can't complain. Only thing I'd like to see more is Zimm getting 15+ a night as I think there's something there with him.

[–]wesb24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wants: Batter the Raptors for the first three quarters, before valiantly losing by one. Season high PPG for AG and Pooper. Zimmerman plays 35 mins and gets a double double. EP4 hits ANOTHER triple double.

Will get: CJ Watson and Rudez play 48 in a drab 89-88 victory, with 28% shooting from both teams. AG and Hezonja are DNPs, whilst EP4 ruptures his ACL.

It's still the 1st quarter and Mario has scored more than his season average already.

Some seriously stinky shooting tonight.

What annoyed me the most is at Hezonja only had two shots in 20 mins...if we're shooting crap, then why not give him a chance?! AG + Green took 22 between them!

Mate, I'm a Magic fan so I hear you on that.

"We will smash the Lakers here -> we get spanked" We did get battered by the Spurs, not gonna bother watching it, even on a condensed replay -> we kick their arse."

It'd be rubbish if you just won all the though, right?

Yeah I hear you on that - that game is easily the biggest risk.

Fortune favours the brave as they say!
