I actually saw him play at the IHSA state finals. He played for a smaller school and acted like big shit on the court. His demeanor was awful. Thought the same of him at Illinois but he never bothered me as an NBA player. Figured maybe he'd grown up. Anyway, I do not give a fuck that he said a racist word while playing CoD.

I'm not going to lie, I was not familiar with the slur he used.

It was definitely a strange choice. I always called people *** during team deathmatch personally.

As of today, who do you think has the best chances of winning the chip this year? You can break it down with multiple teams by % if you so desire.

Note: I'm not allowing the "as long as they stay healthy" copout. The favorites have guys like KD and AD that are fragile and get hurt a lot so you have to account for that however you want. And you can also give a team a boost because you expect a trade or buy out to happen that will help them.

Suns ain't it bruh. Improved yes, but not even close to title contenders.

I could see them making a Heat-esque run if Davis can't get right. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they made the WCF.

The Lakers are repeating. The NBA is great, but it's fairly predictable.

Jayson's new flamin bbq ruffles are quite tasty.

Clips are way overrated. Come on.

By the way I heard on the radio today what Top Shot is. Holy crap that is not what I thought it was and wow, it is lame.

I can't wait until the Top Shot bubble bursts

The Sixers and Bucks are not legit threats.

I think they can win the East. Mostly because I don't trust any of the teams in the East, including the defensively challenged Nets. And if you can win the conference you have a chance at winning the title. Like last year if it was Bron and AD who got hurt in game 1 instead of Dragic and Bam the Heat win that series even though they weren't the better team.

As much as I bitch about the Celtics I'm so glad there is a game tonight. One week off and I'm going through withdrawals.

I will leave RM if either of these two teams win. Bobby Portis and Furkan Korkmaz ain't getting it done for a title winner.
