Mitchell Robinson for Lonzo Ball Trade Rumor
« Reply #827 on: September 26, 2018, 02:59:43 PM »

I don't know if there's anything to this. But if Rondo starts and if Mitchell emerges quickly...

Ball Vs. Trier
« Reply #829 on: September 26, 2018, 05:25:09 PM »

Could find zero evidence, to coin a phrase, of this "rumored" deal.

What I did find were numerous reports of the Lakers' promise to draft Robinson. 

They took Wagner instead.  Nice player.  More advanced technically at this point, at least on the offensive end.  Not sure he has Robinson's upside, though.

What I did stumble upon was this UCLA vs Arizona duel, in which Lonzo Ball and Alonzo Trier really went at it and acquitted themselves nicely. 

Knox
Robinson
Trier

Pretty nice haul. 

PS: Rondo may be starting, but that is more a reflection of accommodating LeBron, and allowing Lonzo to fully heal and to learn from Rajon.  I don't see the Lakers dangling Lonzo for anything, and when he is healthy, he is the lead sled dog for sure.

LeBron:

On Rondo:   "A competitor."

On Ball:   "Destined for greatness."

Butts has talked about playing with Kawhi in LA.

Not sure he is married to KI.  May be moreso the other way.

Please Note

The Narrative Which Held That Paying The Inflated Price For Jimmy Butler And His Fucking Ego Was The Road To Kyrie Irving's Heart Was Always BULLSHIT

Been Trying To Tell Suckers That This Was A False Flag And That The Idea Kyrie Would Bail On A Championship Caliber Team To Join His Bro ANYWHERE, Was Specious Nonsense. 

But hey, knock yourself out with this media fan circle jerk.

$1.99 for a limited time
« Reply #838 on: September 27, 2018, 03:13:50 PM »

The NBA believes it has the answer, and starting with the 2018-19 season, you’ll be able to buy portions of individual games through micro-transactions.

In a press release on Thursday, the NBA announced new offerings being added to its “NBA League Pass” program, which allows fans to watch out-of-market games over streaming services. These are being expanded to include the option for fans to buy single quarters of games, a revolutionary move that could change how fans consume live sports.

For current NBA League Pass subscribers all their viewing options will remain available, however fans can now pay $1.99 to watch from the conclusion of the third quarter until the end of the game.

That's like, my response to people who promulgated this wishful narrative as if it were F-A-C-T. 

By the way, not a Celtic F-A-N.  Miras damn near throttled me at MSG when I said, "You gotta love Paul Pierce."

Ha.

Celtics had just erased a huge first half Amare-Carmelo lead.  Paul Pierce.  Knicks Killer.  Right up their with Reggie.  Motherfucker DID IT AGAIN. 

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

The team Danny Ainge assembled.

The culture Brad Stevens nurtured. 

The attitude Celtics players play with and how they play WITH each other. 

Kiid sneers.  Good for him.  Celtics are the #1 team in the East.

Sixers coming on fast.  Raptors a force to reckon with. 

I point to the Celtics as a template for how to do it patiently and purposefully. 

That doesn't make me a fan, CrackerJack. 

But hey, it used to be damn near an honor to have Parish-McHale-Bird-Ainge-Johnson kick your ass.  Just a great tradition of team basketball.  That playoff series where Bernard and the Knicks took the Celtics to 7, with neither team yielding its home court?  Probably my fave Knicks playoff series, least ways top five for drama and competitive tenacity. 

In boxing, things are more cut and dry.  Man against Man.  Period. 

Team sports is a more complex paradigm.  Notice how Coach Fizdale made it a point to take his young charges to a playoff game last spring to witness first hand how it's done at the next level of winning hoops. 

And whom did Fizz take them to see?  The Celtics In BOSTON. 

And Irving is their bell cow. 

My opinion, huh?

Talk to y'all next June. 

In the meantime, I am getting behind Trey, Emmanuel and Frank. 

Free agency?  How about we grow our own for a hot minute or two. 

We got points.  Now let's see if we can't get a few wins. 

Your hometown LOW EXPECTATION New York Knickerbockers.
