    Amen. I'm not buying it. Hope I'm wrong so Harden will be forced to score more points from the field than the charity stripe.

    Funny how in the article Coach Steve Nash during a game against Trae & Co. says this when one of his own has made a living out of it. I wonder what he's gonna say when this has actually been implemented and costs him games as the season progresses.

    Giving the refs some more decision-making power especially at the end of close games? Great!

    Now this is reassuring.

    i mean, i've been saying this since dwyane wade won a fake title, and the league just doubled and tripled down on it with harden and young.

    i have very little faith that the freedom of movement will be applied to defenders when they won't even call harden for literally grabbing dudes' arms on trips to the bucket. the guy is so confident you'll give him the call that he takes his hand off the ball and grabs the defender's arm instead of just attempting an actual basketball play.

    it's pathetic, and you know it. stop lying to us.

    /rant.

    edit: btw, iverson must be furious watching trae young waltz to the ft line with half his athleticism, ballhandling skills, and toughness.

    Iverson would have earned 30 FTA a game with today's whistles and that's without any of today's gimmicks that most of the FT getters utilize.

    Why are you surprised when it's blatantly obvious he's standing next to Pedobear himself...


    Thanks Captain Obvious

    so now rivers is interested in smoothing it over. ok buddy.

    i don't recall his follow up press conference. where was morey's horde of media minions then? they're certainly around to try and help him clean up now.

    Little too late. Why wait till now to attempt to clarify your thoughts? The comments were out there all summer long, doing permanent damage.

    Morey doesn't like the offers he's seeing and told Doc to try and kiss Ben's a** a little in case they're stuck with him.

    not to mention Morey put it out there that he’s getting Beal or Lillard for Simmons in some sort of bizarre attempt at manifesting wishes.

    Very busy and interesting day for the NBA....

    1) Wolves canning Rosas and all the dirt that came out.

    2) Griffin and Zion's non existent relationship... even though David played the piano for him in the bubble. :LLLLLebronlaughing:. Seriously. They're on track to lose him just like they did AD.

    3) Ben, Doc, Morey.

    4) Lacob fined $50k for saying he doesn't want Simmons.

    people made fun of dallas when they dumped rosas like, two weeks after hiring him (oh, sorry, he "resigned"), but i knew there was fire behind that smoke. don't trust anyone who learned under morey, who's a complete pompous snake.

    people also acted like AD was an a****** for wanting out of NO after 8 years of mismanagement. will zion get flak for it, too? at what point do you point the finger at the organization?
