NBA News & Notes

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
i really hate watching bones hyland play, dudes an absolute ballhog and chucker
 
Jordan Poole learned a valuable lesson about who to fuck with. Hint: not the crazy guy
 
Tari Eason is tearing it up in the first two exhibition games for the Rockets. Leads the team in scoring AND rebounding over those two games while shooting 61% from the field and 50% from 3.

We could have drafted him! ImWithDan told us to! If we’d drafted him and held him out of the Utah trade we’d be even more exciting right now. I have a feeling this is one we’ll look back on as someone who got away

I wanted him as much as anyone, but he would have been traded too

Yea he'd have been dealt too.

We'll come back to this in three four years. I think Eason is ultimately gonna be a "we should have drafted him and never traded him" type of player. At least while he's on his rookie contract.

Ultimately, I'm more concerned with a front office who looked at him and Agbaji and came away picking the latter.

Trades are where this FO accelerates. The draft is not, and they should understand that and work on it going forward.

It is interesting how Draymond has positioned himself as future media figure and moral presence specifically RE: Sarver and yet doesn’t think twice to engage in violence. You can’t be the moral compass and the trigger finger guy. As an adult. Against a teammate.

Not cool.

Always wonder if he didn’t land in Golden State if he’d have had a Rasheed Wallace/Latrell Sprewell trajectory. Winning makes everyone look the other way.

Punching a guy like that, who isn't ready, is pretty dangerous.

Imagine if Poole hits the back of his head on the floor. Or if he just breaks his jaw and causes one of the best players on the team to miss significant time.

Just crazy to do that.

If you're gonna fight a teammate, then be a man and announce it.
 
Yeah I've got no problem with two adults wanting to Duke it out. But Poole isn't a professional fighter, he didn't know to be ready once he pushed draymond who was in his personal space. Good lesson for men everywhere though, once someone enters your space prepare to fight. That punch could've killed him.

NBA fights are half-faked pushing contests, and for good reason. When guys this big and strong connect on a real punch, we're talking mortal danger every time. Nobody wants that.

Draymond is fucking crazy.

Look up Rudy Tomjanovic and Kermit Washington. Kermit ended his career with one punch.
 
It's just that he's on your own team.

How do you not think about consequences before doing that? Not to you personally, but your team.

Jordan doing it to Kerr doesn't make it OK. If he ends Steve Kerrs season I bet Jordan would be first to say how stupid it was.
 
Beginning of the end for TNT when they hired Draymond. Chuck will be gone soon.

You would think so, but living in Cali I have to say it is really top heavy. People at the top make more and working people are really scraping by. Rent is more than 2k for the worst place you can find.

That ain’t no lie. Hell here in Sac a one bedroom apartment goes for $1,600 and that’s not in a good area of town.
