    I called it before the draft

    1) Portland
    2) Spurs

    It ended up
    1) Spurs
    3) Portland

    The only reason I didn't say Spurs will be #1 pick.....because it's too obvious.

    NBA didn't care about the optics.

    With Wemby Dame would've stayed....now he wants out.

    Sometimes the truth hurts, and better to watch/listen than be ignorant

    We were pretty good at player development until we had a major turnover in the front office or you can argue it started when Tilman bought the team.

    It was pretty obvious we were bottoming out in terms of setting ourselves to be the worst team and bottoming out financially with the front office/scouting/coaching staff. Hopefully how Stone/Ime fills out the staff portends to getting back to the basics. Not doubting Ime’s “Xs and Os”, but that was a hire to declare the Rockets are changing their culture and player accountability.

    Same way former drug addicts can tell you how to avoid falling into that hole. His past mistakes do not define his basketball knowledge and other stuff.

    Main topic aside; I'm 5 min into the video, and they spent way too much time discuss the definition of 'hype'. Everyone talking over each other. Panelists can't agree on a basic baseline. If the question wasn't to include career accomplishment, then don't factor it in.

    Chris Rock n Will Smith is the extended child version, nothing but stage show theater, they had to make the second slap more convincing since the reporter got up too fast and easy from the first attempt

    It’s not rigged. They do 1000 four number combinations and each team is assigned a certain number of those combinations. It’s audited by an independent law firm. It’s tempting to think when things don’t go your way its rigged, but it’s just random probability, not proof of conspiracy. Spurs got lucky.

    Dude, it's RIGGED! I predicted this months ago! If the Spurs would have kept Dejounte Murray, chance are they would have made the Play-In or the Playoffs. Also, don't you find it the least bit strange that Tony Parker has a relationship with Wemby, he's also from France and he is going to San Antonio.

    Never discount the OBVIOUS.
