He's a homer that exaggerates to make his team look better. But this one went too far. Might not be beef with Tatum, but JB might have some Scal beef now.

HawkEgg

Could we just have JB megathread and ban the rest? I'm tired of multiple posts a day about the same thing.

HawkEgg

At least just one a day. Or some megathread so as not to cut off all communication

HawkEgg

I get that lamb chops & gravy are tasty and all, but do we need three separate front page posts about some comments from a dude that's not on our team?

HawkEgg

retroactive T's & fines at a minimum

HawkEgg

First words out of his mouth:

It was a full team effort, and I share this with my brothers and my partner in crime, Jayson Tatum. He was with me the whole way. So we share this shit together.

HawkEgg

This interview is from last week. Last season is before last week

HawkEgg

Nah, he'll shoot 7/12 from three every night

HawkEgg

Sure, but this post is just an excuse to rag on JB love.

HawkEgg

Who is Carmelo Anthony that we care about his opinion. Maybe the right action was to ignore it.

HawkEgg

Why the need to make a post just to shit on a dude that got traded away? What did JB do to you?

HawkEgg

A terrible scheduling choice by the NBA. How are you going to have JB's return be during preseason, then the regular season one not until Jan.

HawkEgg

Yup. By the Ray metric, Brad is the one that should be hated. Trade the #2 to a division rival, help them create a super team.

HawkEgg

I hope that something happens that gets him traded to a team I can root for. Portland?

HawkEgg

Encima cuando ya estaba ganando. Peligroso

Yes, take the bottom 99% of US and compare to the bottom 99% of Europe.

The ultra-wealthy "live" in the US rather than Europe because taxes, and now they can buy Trump gold cards to expedite that process.

An interesting side effect of rent control is that it incentivizes landlords to convert buildings to condos, increasing home ownership:

we show that treated [pre-1980 rent-control] buildings are 8 percentage points likely to convert to condo or TIC in response to the rent control law

Maybe if LeBron, Embiid, & Maxi get hurt they'll realize the salary isn't worth it for a 1st or 2nd round exit and they'll trade him. To be clear, I'm not rooting for them to get hurt. I'm just rooting for the spirit of Nico to descend on the Philly front office.

HawkEgg

I'm rooting for JB to be traded. I don't want him leading a bad team, I want him building a good team.

HawkEgg

Yes, it was a sweep, but it was also a tough series. If we lost game one, it would have gone to 7 and we'd have been worn out for the finals

HawkEgg

He had that shot over Siakam? If JB hadn't made that we lose game one and probably that series. The Pacers were problematic with their speed.

But still I think JB only won because they figured JT would win finals MVP

Lo que debemos hacer es empezar un movimiento malvinismo, todos mudarnos a las islas hasta que seamos la 51% de la mitad de la isla y pedir que la ONU nos da soberania sobre la mitad de ellas. Y ya saben como termina eso.

HawkEgg

Seems like a clarification ripe for simulators:

  • Screen pushoff doesn't affect my ability to play defense.
    • No call.
  • Flail my arms and stumble.

    • Foul.
  • Defender stands ground and doesn't get pushed away so arm extension can't happen (no space to extend).

    • No call.
  • Defender flails back maybe even subtly grabbing my arm to cause extension.

    • Foul.

imagine how itchy those barnacle are
