Jimmy Butthead on Rose

Can't say that I'm surprised about this. Wonder if Noah is still on Rose's nutts.

 

[Prime Ang]

Only a matter of time before everyone turned on Rose. Surprised it took this long, I've been hating on the guy since he stole Bron's MVP.

Durcant will be traded by the trade deadline if he doesn't give the Blunder assurances.

You leave KD alone . . . I don't care what Stephen A says . . . :icon_evil

 

[Partlow]

Doesnt surprise me. Butler is an overachiever, why is he going to respect someone who is being lazy and is living off of stuff he did 4 years ago. He wants to be the team leader now (and he will be if hes not already)

 

[DangDaGawd]

I love how VBert mans up after being restrained lol

I love how Booker throws a slap like a bitch and backpedals immediately.

 

[highkicknomore]

Vert acted like the Terminator (except for hurting anyone) after getting bitch slapped. I'll take Vert if they have a pseudo match.

 

[Partlow]

Oh just saw that

A level chin by Vert, without question he can hang in the ultimate pseudo proving ground

 

[HunterSdVa29]

he had a torn rotator cuff all season, before stopping to get surgery on it.....

still a top 3 player in this league @ 85% health

#93 according to NBA Rank. I think we'll take a panel of experts opinion on the matter over a rascal riding sherdog poster.

 

[Breakitdown]

lol'ing hard @ you thinking that someone like henry abbott - who has literally never played basketball before - is an expert on any level rofl.

your dim-wittedness is truly the gift that keeps on giving, angus, lmfao.

 

[Bet Me]

And now he's ranked #93 or #94 (can't remember) in the NBA this year

Cowherd got a whole daily segment about how much Derelict Rose sucks.

lol, great rebuttal.

Big Baby, on Cowherd, just said he can't stand Kris Humphries, that he is annoying. LMAO.

Just said that Tony Allen is hilarious and the most likable guy in the league.

 

[TuBB]

I love how Booker throws a slap like a bitch and backpedals immediately.

Yes Booker with the bitch slap. You don't have to defend VBert while he collects a check in LA this season tho lol

Barnes on his relationship with Fisher: "We were close. We were friends. Some things have happened to change that. It is what it is.

Palp, you see the Knicks are going old-school with the floor?

 

[Madmick]

I like when Kobe facilitates, idiot haters call it "stat stuffing with assists."

That idiot also mentioned Kobe's terrible +/- on a losing team, so yeah, I'd say "stat-stuffing" was a pretty appropriate summary.

Or, you know, if you watched the games, all of us were talking about this in the NBA thread last year. It was comical. Even the blind could see it.

ORAPM : 1.21 - 106th in the NBA - ahead of guys like Teague, Middleton, Dragic, Wall, Pierce, Conley, and his old buddy Pau, to name a few.

DRAPM: -2.57 -Bad, but he is old, and has years of mileage. Being a negative on the defensive end, especially on a shitty squad like he had, isn't a big deal, imo.

Nowhere near last overall, also. +/- could actually be used to make a case that Kobe is still viable on the offensive end.

Give Kobe a decent roster, not a D League one, and he can be an asset. Lakers messed up by not being able to build the right group around an aging Superstar.
