Thunder could proably be talked into giving up Kyle "shot 40% from 3 one year" Singler for him

Didn't he shyt on the thunder when he left?

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Didn't he shyt on the Warriors when he left?

Thunder you mean...

Yeah... I believe he was shytting on KD & GOATbrook.




Did Kevin Martin take a shot at ex-Thunder teammates about leading the league in scoring? Nah.

Did Towns leave @tremonthustler1 in a locker in the Garden?

 

[DoubleJ13]

Didn't he shyt on the thunder when he left?

I'd still do it if the Wolves were dumb enough to take Kyle "still trying to get an assist this year" Singler or a combo of DJ & Novak. I think Martin would have less of an issue now though since he isn't coming from being a 1st option to a reserve role like the first time.

The real issue would be needing another move to make playing time.

A silly rule caused two Euroleague teams to spend the last minute of a game intentionally missing free throws
By Seth Rosenthal  @seth_rosenthal on Dec 17, 2015, 5:14p


What you see is a close game in its final minute in which both teams are bricking free throws on purpose. Let me try to explain.

The things you need to know here are:

1. The results of this game would advance one of these teams in EuroLeague while relegating the other to the second-tier EuroCup.

2. Maccabi and Darussafaka had identical records, and the tiebreakers after overall record are head-to-head record and head-to-head aggregate scoring.

3. Darussafaka won the first meeting between these two teams back in November by 11 points.

The upshot of the above: Maccabi had to win Thursday by 11 or more points to grab the final EuroLeague spot. If they lost, or if they won by fewer than 11 points, they'd get relegated.

With under 2 minutes remaining and the game hanging in the balance, Maccabi realized they could, but they weren't going to be able to build that 11-point lead. They needed more time. Overtime. So, once they had tied the game, they did everything in their power to keep it tied. Darussafaka quickly figured this out and tried to break the tie at all costs, even if it meant losing by a couple points. This meant:

- Maccabi (Jordan Farmar, specifically!) held the ball for an entire shot clock.

- Darussafaka intentionally fouled Maccabi.

- Maccabi intentionally missed their free throws.

- Darussafaka drew a foul by accident at one point and intentionally missed ONE free throw. Their coach then instructed his team *not* to foul so Maccabi would be forced to score a basket and take a small lead.

- Maccabi, now down 1, responded by wildly trying and failing to draw a foul by driving directly at their opponents. Darussafaka simply refused to defend:

- Maccabi eventually relented and attempted a field goal, which went in and gave them a small lead.

- Darussafaka responded by just inbounding the ball onto the floor and letting it roll around, refusing to pick it up.

Maccabi eventually won by 4, losing the head-to-head in aggregate, and falling out of EuroLeague. If they could have scored on their own basket, that might have made shaving the regulation score to a tie easier, but that loophole was closed after Real Madrid used it to *avoid* overtime in 1962.

You fukked up B

They dont play well in Charlotte and havent in about 5-6 years.
They are missing two key starters.
The line is at Charlotte -1 / 0.5 depending where youre wagering...thats basically a pick em for a game i guarantee theyre going to win...2 to 1 on a point spread where theyre missing 2 starters is crazy....That line should be 4 or 5.

Raps bench been ass of late and its forced the starters to play longer mins they cant handle.

TOR 93
CHA 103

AGAIN

you fukked up...
