2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 08:12 AM) What's upside? Win 50 games with no chance at a title? Upside to me is a true shot. It used to be being good enough not to draft high, but not good enough to win was NBA hell. Now it's upside? IMO today's NBA sucks because there are very few teams with a legit chance to win it all. I will admit there are a lot more better players than there were in the early 2000s, and the games are far more interesting. It's really the only pro team sport that is like this, and that is an issue. The regular season is basically an 82 game exhibition. Fans even praising coaches for not playing their stars so they can rest and be ready for the playoffs in a few months. Most games don't matter. Unless there are major injuries GS vs. Cleveland can be put on the DirectTv viewing guide for June before the season starts. That's an NBA problem, not a this era problem. I've made it pretty clear here that as a fan I only care about having a chance to win a title but to say this era sucks because only a few teams have a chance to win the championship then every era of the NBA sucks.

2016-2017 NBA Thread
The Nuggets are going to be pretty good, pretty soon. And even if Jabari is completely broken once Middleton gets back to full health they still have a very nice young core to work with. EDIT: And I'm not saying either is going to win a championship any time soon because they aren't but including them into a category of teams that suck or have no upside is just wrong.

If Sale manages to cut up those Uni's before our series with them he'll seriously become my favorite athlete of all time.

The Challenge XXX: Dirty 30 Thread
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) Corey and Jenna kind of belong with the winners though in my opinion. I know they haven't won Challenges but they are staples that are way better than some of these other dopes. For sure. Those are just the people I'm rooting for, not a prediction of any sort.

From the sounds of it they basically forced the overly sexy character on her. She wasn't committed to it cause why the f*** would she be and they finally scrapped it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:21 AM) All over the Internet Row. Just did a quick twitter search when I saw your post and didn't see anything that's why I asked. Google on the other hand told me things. Anywho, the coverage will be fun for this but the fight itself is going to be beyond stupid.

Also, if you want the long game for Bayley it's probably Sasha turning on her and those two feuding into Summerslam in Brooklyn to flashback to their MOTY in 2015 too. It'll work.

*Bayley. And like I said I certainly wouldn't have put it on her yet but she did get a huge pop when she won and it clearly meant something. I would have preferred she got the Mania moment too but this worked and I can't be mad that she's the champion.

I wouldn't have put the belt on her yet but that match rocked. Sasha turning on her at some point will be fun.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 02:02 PM) My irrational love of Hansen tells me he still has the highest ceiling of all our arms, even though I know it's really Rodon and Giolito. Kopech throws like 146 MPH, I think you can make a solid argument that he's got the highest ceiling of them all. Great problem to have obviously.

Do people actually still love Bray Wyatt? His character has been dead to me forever now. Naomi is also super average to me so her having the title is semi annoying but whatever. Kind of sucks though cause I doubt that title is going to be defended at Mania. And I'm still pretty sure Styles is getting Shane which is also super annoying. Assuming Rollins is good to go, they have a loaded and healthy roster for Mania and there's almost nothing that interests me so boo.

Okafor is bad but I'm cool taking a chance on him cause honestly we're going to suck for a while anyways so why the f*** not. Also, I love Westbrook so much.
