You and Ax still got issues I see. Lmao.

I like Bam Adebayo a lot for your team. He has a solid shooting stroke and finishes strong around the hoop. What do you think your Heat is going to do in the off-season?

Nah ax cool lol

But yeah bam I'm really excited about. Great defender both on and off the ball too in addition to what you said.

And in the off-season? I'll be honest I haven't thought about it once. Hopefully it's trade TJ and not giving winslow an extension but I'd kinda hate to just lose him for nothing.

Look at this Cavs fan front running.

I think I told this story on the IC about cleveland fans.

I once randomly met a "Cavs" fan from Cleveland (only one Im sure any of us met in real life), and it was either on the day Bron returned or a day or two right after he returned. So we get to talking about sports and he says he can finally watch basketball again. I was like yo what you mean? And he said hes never watched a single basketball game since Lebron left.

I was disgusted.

And look at @Jaemooms now. He doing the same shit. The Cavs dont have a single real fan. Just a bunch of front runners.

Nah. I'm a Cleveland Cavs/Indians fan since I was born in the 80's. From Richfield Coliseum/Jacob's Field until present day. I'm as objective with my sports teams as I am with everything else. Yeah, I'm a fan, but I call a spade a spade.

The Cavs weren't even gonna make it out the EC last week, but I'm somewhat confident in their abilities now. We'll see what's up when the honeymoon is over to get a real gauge. I still don't think they have enough to beat the Warriors though.

@Like_Water

I know this is totally the wrong forum to ask this question but how do you feel about the Indian’s changing their logo?

Uh... Damn good question. Lol. The logo is offensive as fuck. I mean, there's no other way to put it. I completely empathize with Native Americans that are pissed off by it. With that being said, I'm still gonna rock the Wahoo whenever I can get my hands on one. It's what I grew up with and I love the logo.

I hate that stupid "C" logo though. I wish they went back to the cursive "I" from some years back. Or even better, if they changed the logo to just the feather from Chief Wahoo's headdress.

It's an awkward situation because it's such a caricature. At least teams like the Blackhawks are more of an accurate representation. I'd be outraged if someone used some minstrel show shit as a logo. There's a buncha bitch ass white people denouncing their fandom, and callin the organization sjw's and all that dumb shit, but you know how they do.

If and when the Wahoo is completely phased out, I'll just rock whatever logo they replace it with. It's not THAT serious.

I think it’s about time they changed it to something better. Like you said if they did it like the Black hawks or a more respectable representation of a Native American I think that would be cool.

I wonder if the Washington NFL team will eventually change their name? I know Dan Gilbert is fighting hard not to change the name and even said the organization did a poll showing that most Native Americans don’t mind the name. I would honestly like to see how many and which Native Americans they polled. Lol

Knicks trying to hire pablo prigioni for player development for his time with the knicks

Understandable

Who better to help unlock Frank Ntilikinas defensive potential and teach him how to be a floor general than the Point Gawd himself
 
The Knicks front office really wants to run a back court of Frank and Mudiay next year. They want a defense first identity. Ofcourse that means they expect both of them to improve shooting.

In a perfect world, they will both have play making duties but Mudiay might actually play more pg and they think Frank will be a good 2 gaurd.

Personally, im not sure if they can make it work, but all we gave up was Mcdermott for this experiment, and KP will be out for most next year too, so I can see why they'd wanna experiment.

I will say though, having 2 gaurds who can both defend and shoot is the way to compete in the NBA. Not sure if Frank and Mudiay are the right combo of gaurds, but I like the fact that this front office has a plan.

Which would mean THJ is the three which is the last thing i want to see. He excels at SG. I’m sick of the Knicks expending large portions of cap space just to play dudes out of position. We did this with Melo his first few years running him at the 4 when he still had fresh legs.

I think those years contributed to us seeing the shell of Melo that we have now.

The idea is having gaurds that can gaurd all 3 wing positions, and moving KP to the 5 cause hes an excellent rim protector. At the point all you need is a 4 who can defend and shoot and Hardaway just needs to defend the weakest wing position.

Its this whole positionless basketball movement.

Also, I hear they really want to draft a 3 in this draft if a good one is available, so THJ could be relegated to 6th man or trades in 2-3 years in a perfect world.

Or if either Mudiay or Frank never turn into the player they expect, THJ can play 2 going forward.

The good thing, the Knicks front office actually have a plan and expect to be in the lottery the next 2 seasons.

Im not even saying its a good plan, but its the Knicks, just having a plan is a good step forward.
