People don't like Perry because he didn't make enough mean mug faces or shoot bows and arrows.

These types of people are what's known as stupid. They make our fan base look dumb.

Reminds me of the Perry face memes.

Averaging 26.9 points a game (8th in the league) and 9.5 assists (3rd in the league) isn't good enough to land you in the All-Star game?
It's a farce.

Yup.
Trae Young snubbed.

Would you have believed someone in 2014 if they told you Julius Randle would be an all star before...nm

I'd like to see him play. Who's going to take a charge from him?

I propose if an NBA team has to cancel their game the DAY OF the game, it should be a forfeit.
Bools had to fly to Tampa to play the Raptors. Got there last night. Game canceled today.
Bools have a game back in Chicago tomorrow. I assume flying back today/tonight.
Complete waste of travel back and forth.

Watching Clips Bucks.
Regular season nba can often be really shitty for team basketball.
Offense is get it to your star and let him jack a shot up.

Morris wide open while PG or Kawaii both get doubled and take fade aways.

Thing you miss about that clip is the boring basketball on multiple trips before that.

Pass once, let star try and go one on one.

That last play by the Bucks was refreshing.

I assume it probably was a pretty boring game - up until the last 5 minutes or so.
The NBA doesn't really interest me until the playoffs.

On another note. I said years ago that Luke Walton is 100% clueless. His first season I had watched him coach an entire game right behind the Lakers bench and the guy had ZERO idea what to do - and not do.
I could hear the conversations he had with the players and the other coaches. I wouldn't want him coaching my 8 year old daughter's team.
Then I watched him a second time and witnessed the same thing. I figured he would have learned a little bit but it seems he hadn't.
He had no idea how/when/who to substitute, no idea what "plays" to call during time outs, etc. He was useless.
Years later, he's still proving me right. I would figure his staff would help him and maybe they do but the Kings are currently a debacle and being that he's their head coach - at least some blame has to lie on him.

This was 2 games ago and last night they were up 8 with 50 seconds to play - and lost.

I know they won't do this bc dolla bills ( and also season statistics ) but I think the NBA season ( not necessarily length but games ) should be cut down significantly.

16 games in division ( x2 home and away ).
20 games outside of division but in conference ( 1x home and away ).
15 games out of conference ( alternate home away each season ).

51 games - give the players more rest and make the games more important.
Some of these games the effort is minimal ( and I get it, it's a long season ).

My job last 365 days a year minus some weekends. I dont get to coast thru days for "rest" and Im getting paid a helluva lot less. Its a bullshit excuse. Play hard, every game. If not just to win, then because its your damn job.

Sure but if your job was to play professional basketball at the highest level, your body would last better over the season with fewer games.

And because of that you’d be able to go all out more often.

And also your games would all mean more.

Just sayin. They choose a career tough on their bodies (as did lots of us) and they get paid a shitload to use it. Theyre a bunch of 20 somethings mainly, they can go all out every game. Yea, they have a short window to make a career. But their window will create enough income to last 10 lifetimes if they are good with their money.

Don’t take what I said as feeling sorry for millionaires...more that we would get better play to watch with fewer games.

Heres where CnB comes in to tell me im wrong and dumb.....but. .. the product was better in the 80s and 90s because they played harder. How many games off did Bird or Jordan etc take....in the same length season?

Shit go farther back, Elgin Baylor played while maintaining another full time job. Love of the game.

Jo retired today.
