Saw that coming. He's a great shooter during the regular season and has helped them win a lot of games, but he's a playoff dropper unfortunately. If he could have come in and hit a few threes they'd have kept him, but he would go 0-4 and sit back down. Happened two years in a row.

Acuff was a steal.


Yep, Clippers and Nets are dumb for not getting him.

"The Clippers already have Darius Garland." So what, the Spurs already have Wemby and drafted a center. There's not a rule against stacking talent. The Clippers got super lucky getting the #5 pick and could have taken the best available player. Same with the Nets.

Kings fans were all in on Acuff but weren't sure if he'd still be available at #7. They're feeling super lucky now. I wasn't jazzed about him going to Sacramento but watching their fans embrace him changed my mind. And apparently that's where he really wanted to go because they promised him the keys to the offense. He's gonna be the guy from day 1.

He could possibly have hurt his draft stock if the young guys beat him out being better defenders and more explosive.


Yes, there are no guarantees. It's not certain that he would have improved his draft stock, and could have possibly worsened it or got injured.

People act like getting drafted in the second round is bad. There's only 2 rounds! Dude played one year of college and is making money in the NBA now. That's a win for him and his family.

"He could have made more money if he stayed." Ok, maybe he didn't want to be in college anymore? Now he's part of an NBA organization with better facilities, trainers, nutrition, etc. Why waste another year in college to *possibly* make a little more money. I say get out when you can, again there's no guarantees.

Yeah I think it's because most people are right handed, and if you're walking to the left you have better leverage with your right arm and right leg.

Think about a punch. Your body rotates counterclockwise.

What do yall think about Aday Mara on Thunder?


I think the league is stupid for letting him fall to OKC. We needed a defensive big and we got the best defensive big in the draft.

This is an excellent point, maybe that is why we dream? the brain isn't getting inputs and its starts making up stories to keep itself entertained? or remind itself that its not dead?, LOL.


Yes, I saw a video of one theory that we dream so our optic nerve will be active during sleep when it has no exterior inputs.
Bro this is some crazy shite, I was literally thinking about this exact thing in the shower this morning. I decided the only thing your mind could do would be to think about the past or future, because you'd have no experience of the present moment for your brain to process.

Without new inputs, I think you'd start hallucinating because your brain would keep trying to tell a story.
It was a Rawlings Darryl Strawberry.

Did he not have a hamstring issue the entire series?


No he didn’t tweak it until the end of game 6.

It took Gordon being injured for the Nuggets, and Haliburton getting injured for the Pacers for them to "eek" out wins.


Gordon played in game 7 and they lost by 40.

re: Wemby’s first NBA title?

Think he could win one with the Spurs but not with this coach.

The Spurs ultimate goal was OKC


It's possible that Wemby legitimately thought it was over after beating OKC.

for all you OKC fans, if you're missing watching your team play, I've got good news for you, the World Cup has started!


Finally, something to watch while I do my nails.
quote:

You employ and support Lu Dort.


Wemby had more dirty plays in this playoff run than Dort’s had in his whole career.
quote:

OKC fans calling Wemby dirty when they cheer for Lu fricking Dort is peak comedy to me. They don’t get to talk.


Bro literally no one brought up OKC and it’s actually the entirety of the NBA calling him dirty. It’s plain to see, we all watched.
quote:

Spurs got further than they were expected. they overachieved, not underachieved.


They were -200 to win the Finals. They underachieved if you’re considering expectations from a week ago, which would be the appropriate frame of reference. Why compare them to the preseason, that was almost a year ago.
He should be fired not only for all the bonehead coaching decisions, but for coaching his players to injure the other team and not shake hands after the game.

Also none of them ever gave credit to New York, Wemby even said they “dominated” the whole series. Bitch you lost in 5 games. :lol:
