I'm remembering the Gary Payton + weight vs Maxwell incident. Vernon Maxwell was insane. Not in a metaphorical sense, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunderMifflin Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Chuck the Rifleman Person was another "I'm the best no matter what you say" guy. He was very good in his prime though. The 80s Larry Bird/Chuck Person rivalry is severely underrepresented in nba lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 If you want off the charts ego: talent ratio, you can't go much farther than Mike James. His season ending press conference one year involved him showing up, huge smile, sang the entirety of 'I Believe I Can Fly' and then exit, stage right. People chuckled when he began, but as it became apparent he was going start to finish the scrum retreated into kinda stunned silence, everyone looking at one another with that 'is this really happening' face. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Tywin et al. said: I think they have a situation similar to Boston, where they're not as talented as other top level teams, but the pieces fit well together, they're very well coached and they're giving maximum effort on a nightly bases (it's also important to highlight that they had a lot of injuries earlier in season, hence their terrible start). I suspect that once the playoffs roll around they'll come crashing back to Earth. Good point. Smart coaches like Brad Stevens and Erik Spolestra can steal a lot of games in the regular season. Gets a lot harder in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Some things I've noticed.. Westbrook scores 58 points, but OKC still loses 4 straight games now. I would at the very least want to see different starters than Roberson at SF and Sabonis at PF. Nowhere near good enough. Golden State is really struggling without Durant, racking up the losses. Wall and Beal keep kicking ass. The Clippers have had Paul, Griffin and DeAndre together for a number of games but they're still not looking good. I do wonder if this is their last run together. All depends on playoffs performance, but so far a shambolic year for them. T-Wolves still have a chance to make the playoffs. Shame about LaVine, but Towns and Wiggins are special.

I wonder if nights like this well help or hurt his chances of winning the MVP. Right now I'm leaning towards the latter. 2 hours ago, Calibandar said: The Clippers have had Paul, Griffin and DeAndre together for a number of games but they're still not looking good.

Shame about LaVine, but Towns and Wiggins are special. The Wolves thrashed the Clippers last night, and what was most shocking is that KAT physically dominated both Griffin and Jordan. He's going to be a monster in a few years when he fully develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had never watched him play before he came over to the Wizards but dude has been exactly the soulless gunner the bench needed. He singlehandedly won 'em two games they would've lost without him, including one where he somehow scored 29 points on 9 shots. I'm not sure he has an assist yet as a Wizard, but that's not what this is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunderMifflin Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Commentators still haven't figured out if his name is pronounced Bo-Han or Boy-Han. I routinely hear both ways during the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relic Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Pels are 2 and 6 since the Boogie trade. Pretty much a lock for the lottery now. If they get a top 3 pick they keep it. Were I them I'd tank hard as fuck right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your boys have been picking it up of late, no? I'll have to tune in tonight, I haven't watched a Warriors game in at least a week.
