He might be the biggest idiot currently serving as a head coach. You have a garbage team that's going nowhere, so what do you do?

1. Play for the future, letting the team's young guys gel together, while also having some sort of farewell for your past-his-prime star?

2. Act like every game is important, benching young guys at times when they should be playing and developing (Russell had also previously been glued to the pine in the fourth quarter of blowout losses for...reasons?) and encourage your past-his-prime star to throw up shots with no discrimination?

LoLakers. You have the guy who's going #2 ALL THE WAY!

Ageless Kevin Martin goes for 37

Athletic Wiggins scores 19 in 36 min but zero rebounds?

How dare anyone compare Wiggins to Paul George. George as a top 10 player is clearly laughable.

Lord, don't tell me the Globetrotters' PR/Twitter guy is an insufferable of an ass as the guy with the Baltimore Ravens...

Wiggins is more likely to win a championship or MVP in his career. George has zero chance of either.

I believe S&L referred to Paul George as "trash".

Hilarious.

And a few posts after that (before any of you even jumped me for the comment), acknowledged that a) i didn't realize the year he was having (I fucking hate watching Indiana play) and b) that comment was made as hyperbole, not 100% "serious"

That's some nice revisionist history you have going on, because that's not at all what happened.

You made a comment without a whiff of hyperbole, got called out right away, and then started backtracking.

And even when you backtracked...

...your backtracking is still an egregious interpretation of his skills.

If you're going to say dumb shit, own it when it blows up in your face and don't try and backtrack lol. That's called "footwedge-ing"


If you really want to plant your flag on the "I wasn't serious when I said he was garbage it was pure hyperbole and me subsequently saying he's nowhere close to elite is also hyperbole" hill, then I don't know what else to tell you besides you appear to be clearly lying through your teeth.

Not as bad as people who say something then try and revise what they said/what they meant when called out for it.

Stop being salty because we're still talking about your absurd take on Paul George.

OMG someone said something dumb on here, lets keep drilling it into the ground for weeks upon weeks using LAWYER TERMS until that person finally concedes defeat and I can go back to everyday life!!!!!!

Hey if you have a problem I suggest two things:

1) go cry to Buike for bringing it up

2) don't say such utterly stupid shit and it won't happen

Feel free to bring up Thad Gibson whenever you want. Also, feel free to bring up other stupid shit I've said on here. I can take it. Apparently you can't, because your panties are in a huge bunch.

None of that has anything to do with me being a lawyer, so feel free to come up with a response that doesn't mention my occupation.

Why didn't you admit this before? Why did you instead claim it was hyperbole instead of dumb? You could have just saved both of us like 4 posts each.
