Also, Slava Medvedenko is Ukranian, not Russian. Big difference, at least to them. Trust me. I have Russian in-laws.

Would russian federation or Zangief ussr matter? THANKS for clarifying. I do know the Nets owner is some mineral mining rich dude. But obamam sanctioned them.
 
Mask coming for Beal :smokin

But those delayed concussion symptoms - based on what he said - would sort of make me wary.


Beal has one more concussion protocol test remaining but said he isn’t experiencing any symptoms and the expectation is he will play. Whenever he does return, Beal, who missed Tuesday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors, will wear a mask to protect his broken nose, which he said will require four to six weeks to heal.

The 22-year-old sharpshooter said he began experiencing concussion-like symptoms once he reached the locker room after receiving a forearm to the face in the second quarter Tuesday from Celtics guard Marcus Smart, which Beal insisted he did not believe was intentional. He said the symptoms lasted “a day to a day and a half.”

“When I got to the back, all of a sudden I got a little dizzy,” said Beal, who participated in Washington’s shootaround Thursday morning. “Then I just kept having blank stares and I was out of it a little bit. And they diagnosed me with a concussion.”

Beal, who played football growing up, said he had never suffered a concussion or a broken nose before, but maintained that he will not shy away from contact. He did acknowledge that playing with a mask could become a nuisance.

“I can’t touch my nose, I can’t sneeze, I can’t pick my nose,” Beal said. “So it’s really leave it alone for four to six weeks until it heals back completely. So I’m just going to continue to wear the mask and make sure I’m cautious around these dudes and, as much as I can, protect it. It is a little hard to breathe. I still have a little blood and everything clogged up in my nose but I still have another way to breathe.”


I've had two concussions, one of which I don't remember because I was unconscious and had no short-term memory to retell what happened when I woke up. I had been out for about two minutes, and the next few hours I was throwing up continuously. 4x and I'm not joking. There's degrees of severity to each individual concussion, based on how much force/speed a person is moving at the exact moment the contact's made to his head from whatever causes it, (for me it was the back of my head on an ice patch while snowboarding in a mogul park).

And the worst part is it's not a science. We can get as close as saying it's the force/speed and what's making contact with the head of the person who sustained the concussion, but some people just have a headache, some people have a mild concussion and some have a concussion that has effects that leak into the next few days, weeks. It's neurological pathways and relative blunt-force trauma the skull passes along to the brain. We're not at a point where we can diagnose the severity and have it override someone's opinion that they're okay ... "ready to go".

Good luck to Beal, the one-man Wall Wizards have been depressing, and others have been out like Nene, Pierce gone, Otto proven to be the Otto we thought he was, etc. That being said, I've heard Wall talk more about Reggie Jackson's paycheck this year than Wall doing anything significant or of note.
 
Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell is reportedly being made available in trade talks. Woah. (via @hoopscritic)

WOW
This dude has been a D'Angelo detractor since the draft. :rolleyes

D'Angelo has been just fine, especially given the **** storm around him.
 
Scouts should implement IQ tests to filter out prospects. They need them to show more than their physical capabilities.

Not trynna call the new gen, post Kobe-era dumb. But you see a handful of guys getting into problems on and off court.
 
 
 
why did Pete D'alesandro decide to spite Michael Malone and not resign Isaiah Thomas again?

Woj pls report on this
You and Nelson said IT was a chucker and trash anyway
He is. That's why his hero ballin selfish *** is putting up numbers that have him in AllStar consideration.  Looter in a riot.  

Also this just shows me how weak the East still is

Half these dudes skated by highschool because their teachers didn't want to be the one to fail them and keep their school's bball team from a chance at the state title, the scores would be HORRIFYING.

I dont know what the age thing is now, is it one year college? I do believe there is a correlation to iq, character and nba success.

What I mean is, we are missing that good clean guy. I mean, were not trynna turn guys into grant hill, but all of these guys get into some sort of issue.
 
I know they do, and really I don't know who would actually help the cavs beat the warriors so it's a moot point. Anything short of like a KD or someone.

And that's what I don't understand. I know it's a running gag on here, the whole 'Lebron needs more help thing' but that roster isn't good enough to defeat the warriors, thunder, or spurs.

So why do we sarcastically say Lebron needs more help? To get a joke off :lol: ?

The reality is that while Lebron is still obviously great, he can't defeat all time great teams like the warriors and spurs because...it's a team game. It's more so, "The Cavaliers need more help" instead of "Lebron needs more help"

Where you could cut corners with Prime lebron with Chris Anderson, Shane Battier etc., won't fly because Lebron isn't prime lebron anymore so you can't get by with JR Smith throwing stinkers in the finals, or lebron not being able to shoot, or having to play Richard Jefferson real minutes. The Cavaliers as a team, aren't composed to win an NBA title.

You are conveniently forgetting that lebron CHOSE to go to top heavy big three teams twice. Completely dirgegarding that tiny fact.

He chose his sitiation. No tears should be shed. Don't form big 3's if you want a well balanced team lol. Had wiggins on a rookie contract nahhh **** that

I agree. This is the result of swinging for the fences everytime. Ever since THE DECISION and annointing himself as King, we all knew.

Walls done nothing but keep Washington afloat in a improved eastern conference by himself. It's why he's a All Star for the 3rd straight year. Meanwhile Reggie is having a lesser season individually. Lesser season with a healthier cast and 0 All Star appearances. Why is Reggie being paid like a 3 time All Star with inferior numbers again? Oh and Walls Wizards beat Detroit in our only head to head meeting. Wall also put up a stat line that's only been done twice in NBA history in a losing effort. That tells you how inconsistent his supporting cast can be.
 
I love it though. The stuck up Laker fans who love playing GM and pretending they know basketball.

Pepe thr Frog with trackline foreheads Randle and C Grade tyra bank calves Russell are both dudes that have attitude.

Clarkson a fake G too, dude talks semi hood, kind of like Butler. Would hate to grade his essasys.

If the talks to trade Rusell are true, then by golly then the Laker scouts should actually be fired.

To this day, no one knows the name of the towel boy in sweats for the Lakers. He has slicked back hair like Gordon gekko and facial features like Jake Jillihall.

LEGEND LEGEND LEGEND LEGEND LEGEND

This exactly. He gutted that team the way he wanted and got the guys he wanted. Getting his friends big contracts taking up cap space. He went there knowing they had a injury prone inconsistent pg who's really a 2 and he wanted love for wiggins on a damn rookie contract. Now u max out love, over pay Thompson and slumpert, resign Earl, he chose this, this wasn't the hand he was dealt.
 
hot take : russell westbrook DOES leave the thunder and comes to miami instead of los angeles

insert all those "i wish" videos again , i would probably cry real tears of joy (srs) it would be the first time that one of my actual top 3 favorite players were on my home team
