@duckbutta @Cycloneon

care to explain how the backcourt situation is going workout with bryan forbes?

Just noticed its contract year for breh.

Are yall moving forbes by trade deadline?

Or is there any intention of keeping him...

I'm Pretty sure moving forward the goal is to have a strong, skilled and tall backcourt of White and Murray...

Forbes is invaluable because he is the only volume 3 point shooter in the starting lineup...

But that is only because LMA and Demar don't shoot 3's...

In the short term he has to start...White has to run the second unit because no one else can and Murray has to start because most of his value is still in his defense which means he needs to be on the floor guarding the other teams best perimeter player...

As time goes on though...Spurs will replace Demar with Lonnie and Keldon...two guys who will shoot 3's...and will replace LMA with Luka...who will shoot a 3's...which means at that point you can start murray and white...then forbes slides to the bench to replace marco and hopefully patty...probably not though i'd be shocked if patty doesn't retire here...and by then maybe we have a real backup point guard who can run the second unit...I hope Quinndary gets a chance to next year...

So the question is how much are you going to pay in free agency for a guy who's role will get reduced as aging players leave? I'd like to have him around but spurs shouldn't break the bank for him...

This is yet another problem caused by lma and derozan not shooting 3s...

Blazers always go off against the sixers :whew:

@AAKing23 @Flight @Leasy

The sixers have lost to the blazers in the last 3 meetings. :mjlit:

And dont use Embiid suspension as excuse either, when a third of our squad is injured...

THEY SENT 3 nikkaS AT DAME.

:mjlol:LOOK AT ALL THAT "GRAVITY"
:devil:
:evil:

That's not how it works.

It was a one-possession game and Dame got it at the top, so of course, they're going to send one extra defender at him to force the ball out of of his hands; Tobias only then sunk into the paint because Dame had an open drive to the rim because they fukked up the double-team. You see that all the damn time in situations like that.

That's different to every possession when you know who has 2-3 defenders in his vicinity everywhere he goes on and off the ball.



That type of offensive impact is immeasurable. We've never seen it before, and we probably won't see it again in our lifetime. shyt is a real-life cheat code.

CJ really about to marry this chick:


I mean dude is a multimillionaire

When you grow up you'll realize that IG thots don't lead to happy lives and marriages. I don't know shyt about this girl but the mere fact that she don't look like she was made in a lab or tries to make a living off of social media is already two signs that he's choosing with his heart and his mind rather than his dikk and his ego.

Blazers announce team literally pointed out where the play was gonna end up. :russ:

Brett Brown did a spectacular job tonight, and the Sixers bench stepped up in a major way.

Wow crap that was terrible defense for a last-second play. Either Stotts blew that one or Toliver blew that assignment.

I hear but you know damn well there's a huge difference between shallow ig baddies with nothing to show for it and attractive highly educated and successful bw like @dora_da_destroyer




My dude legit got the plainest white chick in the world. You can't hit me with compatibility shyt either.

marrying a while woman as a black multimillionaire is definitely not choosing with your mind
