DMC Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Well that was a decidedly different era in workplace relationships, at least when they started dating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best selling point was that he was able to parley his shitty playing career into a LTR with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maithanet Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 That is a good piece. I've always been a fan of Wall, he didn't work out in DC, but he did everything you can expect a professional athlete to do. I hope he wins a ring someday.

BigFatCoward Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 No clue who wins it all. There is good parity in the game currently. Hope Denvers returning players can get back to pre injury levels. And George and Leonard play a meaningful amount of minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say that this may be the first time in my time following the NBA (so early 90s) that I really don't know who I would say is the favorite before the season. Mayyyyyybe that first year when Michael was gone. There were plenty of years the team you thought would win it didn't (Pistons over Lakers I'm looking at you...) but even so, you thought you kind of understood where the lay of the land was before the season started. Should make for a fun year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he comes back and can play at a top level with the Clippers. Obviously, I don't see him getting a ring with them; but I could definitely see him being a vet that hops on with a team like Milwaukee and helps contribute to a title later. A lot will just depend on how his health holds up. He was never going to be a guy that translated to a 20 year career in my mind because his truly elite skill was his unbelievable speed, and that isn't going to hold up into his 30s with a surgically repaired achilles.

Is it obvious? A lot needs to go right, but if George and Leonard are healthy, that team is pretty talented. They match up reasonably well with GSW and they might be the only team in the west I'd say that about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably will fail and quite possibly in spectacular fashion. But they have a decent supporting cast and if Leonard, George and Wall are all healthy in the playoffs, they will be an extremely tough out. Yes, they haven't been healthy in playoff time yet, but it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend sent me this. I don’t know where he read it, but he’s a level headed guy who follows lots of NBA news. So the Cs didn’t care about Udoka’s relationship until he apparently started aggressively sexually harassing her once everybody found out about it. Once Nia Long found out (via the Cs investigation), he started harassing the woman. So as I say, don’t know the veracity… but that makes total sense to me.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I think the telling part is that they won't even confirm if they'll bring him back after the suspension is served. Something far more severe than a consensual affair took place here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Pistons have quietly added 2 deadly accurate 3pt snipers in Burke and Bojan. Will do wonders for Cade and Ivey's, penetrate and kick it out options. Lets get some games on already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to the Ryan Russillo podcast on the Ringer and he was saying the same thing, there is more going on he says, and the public has not been told.

Should make for a fun year. Yeah there really is an amazing string of contenders right now. I keep waiting for the Lakers to actually do something that could also make them contend, considering this may be LeBron's last year at the very top level. Bogdanovic just signed elsewhere already, options are getting slimmer, and considering how little the Jazz got back for him its clear the Lakers could have had him as well.

Ramsay B. Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Just watched game 5 of the ‘91 finals on NBA TV(Jordan’s 1st). The amount of travels called was astonishing. I’d say like 8 or 9 at least, and on guys like Jordan and Magic and at pivotal moments. It just makes me laugh because my dad used to say they got away with murder back when this was live. Literally every travel then wouldn’t have been called now. The little step before dribbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
