refs still refereeing the offense and not the defense
you gotta have situational awareness here
that last foul to foul him out HAS to be the foul everyone sees
I don't even know what you are talking about and I read your post 4 times trying to determine what part of it is relevant to Embiid flopping like a soft charmin tissue. Drummond was assessed a technical after Embiid flopped, his 2nd of the game, which is an auto ejection. Drummond only had 3 personal fouls to the point.

and if you are going to make a call that disqualifies a player at that point in the game, make sure its something EVERYONE sees and not some phantom shit you guessed at b/c you saw someone flail their arms
this better?
im sorry brotherNow that's REEL concise. I gotu.
"[Demps] had agreed to [trade Paul to the Lakers for] Kevin Martin and Luis Scola or something, and I said we can do better than that," Stern said, "... And the next trade was [to the LA Clippers for] Eric Gordon and Al-Farouq Aminu and what we thought was a really great draft pick, the 10th pick, which turned out to be Austin Rivers. At least those three and someone else [center Chris Kaman].
"But Dell Demps is a lousy general manager and none of those players are currently with the team anymore, and he may lose Anthony Davis," Stern said.
Davis, who has proved to be an MVP-caliber player the Pelicans could build their franchise around, is eligible to sign up to a five-year, $235 million extension next summer. Davis, who averaged 28.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game last year, can become an unrestricted free agent in 2020.
"I did it because I was protecting the then-Hornets," Stern said of the 2011 veto. "... To this day, everyone always asks me, 'Well why did you keep Chris Paul from going to the Lakers?' I didn't keep him. I didn't approve the trade. No team sells or trades a future Hall of Famer without the owner signing off, and I was the owner's rep.
"But I wasn't going to hand up Dell Demps."
On Wednesday night, the Pelicans released a statement supporting Demps and criticized Stern's comments.
"We are very disappointed to read the inappropriate and inaccurate comments from the former NBA Commissioner regarding the New Orleans Pelicans," the club said in a statement. "Our organization has the utmost confidence in our General Manager, Dell Demps. He is a part of our family, the NBA family. We are excited about the direction of our team, the 3-0 start to the season, building on the success of the 2017/18 playoffs. Finally, our organization is excited and proud to be part of the NBA with the progressive and innovative leadership of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver."
they also play in the west too so...dont forget thatFortunate is one way to put it
Demps has been in charge for seven seasons, and over that time frame he’s had as many playoff appearances as he’s had future hall of famers.
Timberwolves have the option to do this to the Rockets right now and they’re gonna say no.not every GM was fortunate to fleece Brooklyn for an abundance of picks
KAT is soft as fuck. Lose Jimmy and that team isn’t winning shit lolTimberwolves have the option to do this to the Rockets right now and they’re gonna say no.
Kill me pete
Not this year or next year or the year after that probably, but having two first round picks in 4 of the next 7 years? That shit is how you build a fucking squad for cheap.KAT is soft as fuck. Lose Jimmy and that team isn’t winning shit lol
Just had to shit on KAT sorry. His performance last night was so bad lol. Literally looks like he ain’t come to play basketball.Not this year or next year or the year after that probably, but having two first round picks in 4 of the next 7 years?

You’d have to be a total idiot sandwich to not take this trade. Jimmy walks at the end of the year anyways. Even if you don’t use the picks they’re the most flexible trade currency in the NBA.
Let me try to break it down for you. I don’t think people really understand how crazy it is to go from high school to the NBA. And not just to the NBA, but to the damn Los Angeles Clippers.
Pre-social media.
If Twitter had existed back then, it would’ve been a wrap.
Editor’s note: A wrap.
We used to have Alvin Gentry losing his damn mind. We literally showed up for Day One of training camp with Super Soakers.
Editor’s note: Big dumb-ass Super Soakers with the shoulder strap and everything.
I remember we busted in and we were terrorizing everybody, and the OG Derek Strong just looked up from his locker, cold as ice, as he goes, “Don’t you be shooting me with no water.”
We were just kids ― all of us. Me. Q. Lamar Odom. Corey Maggette. Keyon Dooling. We were like a college team. We used to roll everywhere together at least five deep. Imagine in this day and age, five NBA players rolling up to the damn mall together, walking into Macy’s, like What’s Good?
...
Then we played against Houston, and Moe Taylor had just left the Clippers to go there in the offseason, and this man is looking like he just escaped from a kidnapping or something. He drops like a 30-clip on us, and after every bucket, he’s running past Donald Sterling’s seat, grabbing his damn nuts.
We’re like, Bruh. This is not normal.
That’s when we knew: Something is going on here.
Editor’s note: People ask us about Sterling all the time, looking for crazy stories. But honestly, he wasn’t really around like that. Every once in a while, he would pop into the locker room outta nowhere with all his old-ass friends wearing mink coats and shit. We’d be buck-naked, changing, and he’d say wild-ass stuff, like, “Look at these boys! Look at my beautiful boys!” And we’d just be shooting each other looks like, “Yo! Duh fuuuuuuuuck?”
Just had to shit on KAT sorry. His performance last night was so bad lol. Literally looks like he ain’t come to play basketball.
But yeah ur dumb if you don’t take it. And it’d make the West ridiculously stacked too. I want it to happen badly
This is true but as NML points out you don’t know. Still, more assets with a team clearly not there yet with their young assets and a disgruntled vet wanting to be gone.. what exactly do they think they are going to get to top that at this point?But what good are the picks? If they aren't in the lottery do they really matter? Just because there's a volume of picks doesn't mean you still won't end up with Girl #0.
And I'm not saying not to take it, but it may not be as much of a lock as it seems.
He definitely was gumming up the works, although I feel like the Nuggz offense will flow a lot better when Barton comes back. Craig and Millsap have not been good for the offensive spacing despite their defensive prowessLonzo with 12-6-8-5, +10
not a peep from last night
Funny to me, Pete!!
word on the street, the final play was meant for PG...Russ took the shot anywayTypical
Looks like Adam was going to set a down screen for George but Westbrook just chose to brick a deep three.word on the street, the final play was meant for PG...Russ took the shot anyway

I think he is really blossoming now, he's probably the guy I'd want taking the shot at the end of the game (that buzzer beater against OKC last year comes to mind)Harris is such a talent, but not demanding enough when it comes to being a focal point of the offense. He's always been a passive guy since MSU, but there were stretches he didn't touch the ball for 5 minutes.
