Larry Bird was lucky to be drafted by Red Auerbach, Boston Celtics. Red is considered to be brightest mind in basketball surrounded Bird with the right pieces enabling him to win multiple championships. On the other hand, James had a terrible supporting cast and equally terrible front office during his first stint in Cleveland. I cannot blame LBJ for taking matters into his own hands. If James was drafted by competent front office in a big market team, I'm sure he'll have a different narrative. If I'm not mistaken Wilt had to move teams to win his first NBA championship.

Actually, pare, the season before Larry came along, the Cs were 29-53 and did not qualify for the playoffs. When Larry came on board with him as the only addition to that 29-53 squad, the Cs were the best team in the NBA in the regular season at 60-22 but lost to the seasoned Sixers in the ECF. James didn't even qualify for the playoffs in his rookie season.

I am hoping for a second-round appearance by Gilas. Serbia will be a daunting challenge but that was what I said about Croatia a couple of years back and we almost beat them. Between Serbia and Italy, we have a better chance of beating Italy and I am basing this on the players available for both teams. I don't know if both Serbia and Italy will be complacent when we play them.

Unlike before, Gilas will be facing an All-NBA First Teamer in the Joker. If I were Yeng, I would concentrate on neutralizing the three NBA players Serbia will parade and let the others beat us.

Wife above all

Larry Bird never joined forces with superstars to win a championship. Lechoke went to Miami to win a championship. How desperate and pathetic.

 

Bucks overpaid Middleton because they're scared shitless to lose GA. I think it was a necessary move. If you look at his production it may seem they overpaid him but his chemistry with GA is undeniable plus he has no ego. They avoided overpaying Al Horford but IMHO they slightly overpaid Kemba Walker. While Kemba had a nice stat line, we all know he was playing for a bad team so we can assume some of his numbers are semi-inflated just like Devin Booker. I don't know how they'll be able pay both Jaylen Brown and Tatum.

Yes, Kemba played for a bad team. Kemba was really a replacement for Kyrie so Danny slightly overpaid him since he was the closest to Kyrie talent wise among the point guards available. I can't blame Danny for letting go of Horford since Al is getting old. Al was good for Boston but his asking price was probably too much in Danny's opinion.

Middleton is lucky he has an MVP pining for him, otherwise, he would have signed with another team.

 

Barely an all-star IMHO. Bucks will pay him an average 35M per year. He'll be earning more than Kawhi, PG, KD, Kyrie, etc.

The Bucks overpaid, in my opinion. Danny Ainge would never pay him a max contract unless he's KD. PG, Kawhi or Kyrie. The Cs could have kept Al Horford but Danny let him go due to differences in what both parties want in terms of salary and tenor of the contract.

 

There's always a grey area when it comes to the question who is the GOAT. Michael Jordan said it best. He feels that it is a disrespect to the other great players to claim the GOAT title since he had not played in the 60s and 70s. I think this applies to Bird and James. We can't really say who is better since we never saw them play together.

Good point but I would still put Bird over James as the greatest small forward ever but I won't elaborate unless I am asked.

 

Lebron might even overtake Kareem's scoring total. This is because Lebron never had any serious injury in his career except last year. Now if Lebron played in the 80s like Bird against the bad boys Pistons, could he have played same no. of games injury free?

Good point, padre. Another good question would be, would James have taken the extreme physicality of the "Bad Boys"?

 

Will Robie anong masasabi mo dito? Cough cough Larry Bird ...

Tinawanan ko lang yung post na yan. I didn't even care to comment but since you asked me, Larry never had to go to another team to win a championship. That's only one factor. I can go on and on and on and I am pretty sure I will come out on top in this Larry vs. Lechoke argument. Any takers?

Gentlemen; I think the rule of thumb is convenience. If the relationship becomes inconvenient discard it. It should be convenient for you if you are paying; especially if there are unintended beneficiaries, just be cool and make sure you get what you want. If you are not getting your moneys worth, you should drop the baggage and feel free. Make sure the arrangement is convenient or dont do it

Put succinctly, it always has to be on your terms. But it can't be in your terms if you use your heart. The heart is stupid. It can only feel. It can't think.

 

I agree, if there were really karma, a lot of s&*t should befall many people first other than theras who are just doing their work. Really what happens is we pay the logical consequences of our actions. You f*&k around on your GF; maybe she finds out and then she leaves you. The Thera lets herself be commodified, there are many psychological and physical consequences because of that. GMs let GFE get to their heads and fall blindly in love not realizing there are BFs and boytoys waiting in the wings, eventually he discovers the falsity of his relationship...boom. Say hello to the new boss same as the old boss.

Speaking of boyfriends, sometimes, they can be a nuisance. There was a time I was having a sublime experience with my regular therapist with her head bobbing up and down then her jealous bf called which cut the experience short. She excused herself and was saying something about bringing her bf some food when she got home. When she came back to the cubicle, she continued what she was doing until I "penalized" her for talking to her bf by exploding inside her mouth.

 

BREAKING: Mayor Isko Moreno warns XRC Mall Developers Inc. and Marketlife Management and Leasing Corporation over their failure to pay their unpaid obligations worth more than P25 million

The Mayor says the city government will take over the five privatized public markets in 72 hours if they fail to pay.

This is regarding the non-payment of joint venture agreement signed by the past administration in line with privatization of public markets.

This is what I call political will. Isko Moreno is a machine. The guy is all energy. Walang oras-oras sa kanya. He goes around the city morning, noon or night when he's free from his prior commitments. Jackpot yung Manila kay Isko. He is the standard by which all other metro mayors will be measured against.

Kapal naman ni Lebron! Jerry West is a million percent more deserving than him for a spot on the Lakers' Mt. Rushmore

Well, I won't argue with you here. The four other guys won multiple championships with the Lakers. In his lone season with the Lakers, he didn't even qualify for the playoffs.

I like the artist's persepective of the New Manila International Airport. It reportedly has four runways which means that four airplanes can land or take off at any given time. Air traffic will be much smoother. Finally, an airport not named after a convicted criminal. Kudos to SMC and the Duterte government for making this possible.

Gilas is now 2 of 2 against African teams. Blatche has been impressive. Again, we need the best "Batman" that Blatche can be against "Joker".

Middleton is a legit second option. He is also an All-Star. The respect that pundits do not give him has nothing to do with Middleton being a second option.

Stop reading at let me educate you. Not just fiba un bang naglalaro parin players while ung iba nag babakasyon at pag nag start na season polished parin ung mga naglaro sa fiba or any official basketball game.

 

Also, rereply ka sana related sa lakers vs boston finals 2019 dahil un nireplyan ko.

 

Post ko hinde ko pa nakita nakuha na si kemba at di ko pa nakita kasama lahat sa fiba 4 boston players.

 

If u ask nba players kung ano experience nakukuha sa fiba amor olympic games marami top coaches dun. Popovich steve kerr etc at kung wala ka natutunan eh inutil yun player pagopen ng nba season

 

After knowing all that, researching and reading your post. Theyre a beast in the east. I kinda like them with brad stevsn

So you're pointing out the conditioning and the readiness of a player who played in the FIBA. The FIBA will last only two weeks in September. There will be a lull after that until October. I don't think there's any difference relative to the conditioning and readiness of players who did not play in the FIBA to players playing in the FIBA. NBA training camp starts on same date for every NBA team. Yes, Pop is an NBA coaching legend but he is not Brad Stevens. Different folks, different strokes. But yes, the Celtic players may learn a thing or two from Popovich but eventually, the Cs players will have to live under Brad's system.

As for next year's NBA Finals, every one is entitled to their opinion but it's still too early to say if the Cs will, indeed, qualify for the NBA Finals and I am already a Celtic fan. The least I can say is that the Cs will qualify for the playoffs.

Sometimes it would be better to just be friends/tropa with the thera instead of being a BF/sponsor/sugar daddy.

Pag friends/tropa walang commitment kasi and you won't be obligated to be her milking cow/ATM , if she approaches you asking for help because the neighbor of her cousin's godbrother's friend who lives in another baranggay needs emergency surgery or if her grandmother who died last year died again yesterday then you can always say NO. You can disappear and there won't be a GD thing she can do about it.

You can always play with fire but I would always say take fire prevention measures. Hehehehee

Padre, I had a good laugh at the convoluted scenario that you just posted: the neighbor of her cousin's godbrother's friend who lives in another barangay needs emergency surgery. Haha!

Madami na nauto ng mga tusong therapist. Getting fooled by a therapist is a choice.

 

If they like Jason Kidd so much then why not hire him as head coach?

Yes, why didn't they make him head coach? Jeannie Buss is not her father's daughter in terms of managing a team.

If that where true, then why are the Theras chasing the guys with no money and even giving those guys financial assistance.

 

I use to think it was all about the money, but now I dont know what to think.

 

But I know one thing Theras like feeling loved just like any other woman out there

The guy posted in the context of being a guest of the therapist.

Dear BS,

Have you read this?

MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has lifted its halt order on the trial over the 2015 Mamasapano clash, where former President Benigno Aquino III stands as accused, at the Sandiganbayan.

SC spokesperson Brian Hosaka said that Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin confirmed that the SC voted to lift the temporary restraining order it issued against the trial on Feb. 28, 2018.

This means that the graft and usurpation of official function trial against Aquino, former Philippine National Police chief Alan Purisima and former PNP-Special Action Force director Getulio Napeñas Jr. can now proceed.

Ombudsman moves to withdraw graft, usurpation charges

This comes after Ombudsman Samuel Martires moved to withdraw the case, saying there is no sufficient ground or evidence to charge Aquino for graft and usurpation functions “being then the president of the Republic of the Philippines during the time material to these cases.”

The TRO was issued before Aquino, Purisima and Napeñas were arraigned.Martires asked the Sandiganbayan to allow the withdrawal of cases against Aquino “without prejudice to the filing of appropriate charges against the accused after the conduct of preliminary investigation.”

But when Martires filed the motion, the TRO was still in place.

The lifting of the halt order may pave the way for the Sandiganbayan to resolve the Ombudsman’s motion to withdraw.

This may also pave the way for filing of a different charge against the Aquino. Martires had stressed that the Ombudsman's withdrawal is without prejudice to the filing of appropriate charges once his office is finished conducting another investigation on the clash.

The case stemmed from the January 25, 2015 operation in Mamasapano, Maguindanao against international terrorists hiding in the remote town.

A clash involving the Special Action Force troopers and armed groups in the area resulted in the deaths of over 60 people, including 44 members of the elite police force.

Homicide charges?

In January 2018, the Office of the Solicitor General asked the SC to order the Office of the Ombudsman to file 44 counts of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide charges against Aquino and the two former police officials.

Solicitor General Jose Calida filed a 45-page manifestation intervening in the case filed by the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption against the Office of the Ombudsman, Aquino, Purisima and Napeñas.

The Ombudsman earlier dismissed the reckless imprudence complaint the Volunteers against Crime and Corruption filed against Aquino. The Ombudsman instead charged the former president for "acting, as such, in conspiracy," with Purisima, then suspended as Philippine National Police director general, in Oplan Exodus.

Retired Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, the country’s chief graftbuster when the case was filed before the Sandiganbayan, earlier denied that the office filed weak charges against Aquino and his men.

She said in an interview with CNN Philippines that her office “cannot be pressured to file a particular case against someone if we don’t believe that that should be the charge.”

“We go by the evidence,” she added.

Graft carries a maximum penalty of 15 years of imprisonment while penalty for usurpation of authority is up to six months of imprisonment which is convertible to just a fine. Homicide, meanwhile, carries a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment.

The s@%t heaped on the Aquinos just keeps getting higher and higher.

The resounding defeat of the "Otso Derecho" in the 2019 mid-term elections has silenced the "yellow" trolls on this forum. Coincidence?

Gilas just beat the original home country of Serge Ibaka, Congo in a tune up game. Next is another African opponent, Cote d' Ivoire.

so siya pala ang kasama sa trade. honestly i like how that guy plays. gutsy and energetic player. i feel he didn't get to reach his real potential being 2nd fiddle to KI.

Yup, chief. Had the Cs reached the Finals in 2018, Kyrie Irving would most certainly have been traded the next season.
