Good for Porter. Let’s hope he has a stronger backbone then KD.

...

I was hoping he’d slide to #22.

Spur

Porter needs to start doing jumping jacks or yoga as he waits

scotchnaut

Best Defensive Back Courts at the College Level Ever:

#1: Mookie Blaylock/Ricky Grace

#2: Doc Rivers/Jerry Eaves

Spur

Did Porter lose a leg?

...

His back’s a mess.

Spur

Doc Rivers doesnt develop players or play rookies. Enjoy your money kid.

Spur

the fuck is that trade all about…?

CHARLOTTE: “Who are you gonna pick?”

CLIPPERS: “I don’t know who are you gonna pick?”

That’s a hairy pick. smgdh

Lee Harvey Oswald?

Blair Walsh?

No, no wait..wait!!!! Awww damn, I blew it. Come back to me.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You did blow it. Gary Anderson was the correct answer. Well…almost.

litre_cola

I believe he couldnt lose.

Shogun Marcus

Chris Brown and R Kelly?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yay…R Kelly reference means I get to post this again.

Grayson Allen is going to Jimmer Fredette his way to China inside 2.5 years. I expect Hippo to take the under.

SonOfSpam

I hope his nuts meet Draymond’s foot early in the preseason.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck that guy.

(Grayson Allen, that is….not Hippo)

Spur

i wouldn’t mind DiVincenzo going to the Spurs at 18

Spur

the 76ers are getting swamped with called for a trade to get Porter. Bonus they have no GM.

litre_cola

Until the Knicks draft Patrick Ewing Jr. Jr. IV the fanbase will never be happy.

scotchnaut

At draft shows you can always count on a New York fan giving the ‘thumbs down’ no matter the pick because they want attention and know so much more than anyone ever.

herodotus450

Nba draft is like the opposite of an nba game; you only need to watch the first two minutes and the rest is meaningless.

Spur

Knox will be hurt by October.

Spur

Michael Porter Jr dodged a bullet.

SonOfSpam

Knicks. Knox. Knicks. Knox.

Yeah, that makes sense.

SonOfSpam

Unhappy Knicks fans make me very happy.

Spur

like salty rain from heaven

herodotus450

This dude is 6’9” and he’s a SMALL forward? What more do you nba personnel evaluating animals want!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They weren’t talking his height…word has it he’s packing 43 mL, tops.

Spur

Michael Porter Jr will be ruined by NYC

scotchnaut

SPUNK LEE SIGHTING!

…or (now hear me out here) you can just win your division outright and not have to worry about the Wild Card. The early-to-mid-’70s Bengals were pretty good. They just had the misfortune in playing in the same division as one of the greatest NFL Dynasties ever forcing them to go on the road in the Playoffs with a record that would’ve won another division.

Senor Weaselo

Apparently the Twins writers said to the Sawx reporters “Have fun in the WC Game, Yanks are winning 115.”

I have no problems with this if they then lose said Wild Card Game to LAAACUSA… etc. or Seattle.

litre_cola

So about the First Lady and her coat, are they just rubbing it in now? Is he actually going to get a second term? Has Rony Seikaly been drafted yet?

herodotus450

I think he’s been rubbing it in for years, with multiple women, for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

SonOfSpam

1) Yes
2) No, out of office in the next 6-8 months. BOOK IT.
3) Currently fucking a sheep while overlooking the Aegean Sea.

herodotus450

Technically he’s out of his office every weekend to hit the links. Heyoo!

Redshirt

1. Yup. Either that or she’s still pissed off about that tweet about Barron.
2. You Democrats better get your shit together. People here still think Trump is doing a great job. This is my usually reaction:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Runl2i7pV-s

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What’s frustrating is that as the economy goes off a cliff in the next six months, Trump supporters will STILL credulously accept any argument that it is somehow the Democrats’ fault.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

My take is that she is fucking DONE with First Lady shit, and any time she gets pushed into doing anything even remotely resembling her duties, she’s acting out, like a petulant teenager. That’s why she was absent for like a month, and why she did this transparent act of trolling today.

SonOfSpam

In ESPN’s mock draft, they say Utah likes Heurter, DiVincenzo, and Grayson Allen.

Yep, three white guys.

The new jersey with collared shirt sewn in is flying off the shelves.

Cavs asking the commish if they can draft LeBron again.

I wanna make fun of Wendell Carter’s scarf thing, but he’s 6’10” so instead I’ll just say it’s lovely.

Spur

La Bamba will be a bust

scotchnaut

My pretend money is on Young. He’s already peaked talent-wise and surely isn’t the next Curry. He’s Harold Miner.

SonOfSpam

Dude, let’s not say things we can’t take back.

I hate Trae Young. I’m glad he’s going bald.

Oh, that’s good.

Spur

Folks.

SPUR! FINALLY! WHO DO YOU THINK WILL GO 13TH IN THE DRAFT?

Spur

Zhaire Smith and i will cry. he should be a Spur.

Trae Young wears short shorts as well.

So on Tuesday, I went to the Reds game. They were up 9-0, but when I saw that Wandy Peralta was on the field, I got the same feeling of impending dread I get when the Bengals have a halftime lead over the Steelers. I know what’s gonna happen; I just don’t know how its gonna happen this time.

Anyway, Peralta promptly give up three runs and leaves with two on with no outs recorded (Pitching Line 0 IP, 3 ER, 4 H. 1BB, ERA ∞) and gets all the Tigers fans to start cheering so loudly that Great American Ball Park was South Comerica Park.

Once they pulled him, after the Reds fans booed him, just as he reached the steps, I screamed “Go back to Louisville!”.

The Reds must’ve heard me.

“Hey, let’s do what that drunken lout said.”

scotchnaut

You are more powerful than you could possibly imagine. So if you could get me that raise that’d be great.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shit man, if I’d known you were that powerful I’d have flown you to Baltimore to yell at Ubaldo Jimenez years ago. I ended up having to wait for his contract to die.

Thanks for nothing.

Remind me to put my ear plugs in late at night.
I’m always hearing something up there, but it’s none of my business.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, don’t ask what it was.

SonOfSpam

So Atlanta’s gonna give Doncic to Dallas, then take Trae Young at #5. That seems stupid.

(my comment guarantees Trae Young will be a Hall of Fame guy)

herodotus450

Atlanta has a sprots team besides the Falcons?

(reads about Melania Trump visiting an Illegal Child Immigrant Holding Center and it was her idea)

“Good for her. Its just a gesture, but at least it signs a sign she at least cares. Its nice that there’s at least one Trump who’s above the fray.”

(reads about her “I really don’t care. Do you?” jacket)

SonOfSpam

To answer your question, yes, they’re really THAT awful.

litre_cola

I can’t believe NO ONE would stop that jacket.

Redshirt

I can’t believe someone didn’t see this as a bad idea. Trump had great weapon. She was showing compassion and with that idiots tweet about her son, she would be able to play the High Road Card. If Melania was likable, he could use her to deflect his bullshit.

So Kevin McHale and wife were at the Duluth Trump rally last night. Turns out, wife is on Twitter a lot, going full Trumpcunt. As a teenage Lakers fan, I just knew McHale was a piece of shit.

You know how you think someone is a garbage asshole but you have no proof so you keep it to yourself? Thanks Kevin, for showing your true red, white and blue colors.
