The Official Jimmerphilia Thread

[Blueintheface]

Lakers 0-2 but about to be 1-2 .

Jimmer looked tentative and his normal game is anything but passive. Hopefully I get to see a few Kings games this year when he's feelin it.

[Pheidippides]

He's aware of them, he just doesn't give a shit.

There's this guy we play pickup basketball with that we call The Black Hole, since once you get the ball into him it's never coming back out.

If I could somehow cleanse that term of all the racial undertones, I think it would be perfect for Tyreke.

would "The Vortex" work?

The problem with Sacto is Tyreke isn't the only Black Hole. Salmons is a chucker. Great when he's on but he only has a shoot button so shots are going to keep going up even if they're not falling. Like tonight for example. Thornton is another but he's actually got an outside shot unlike Tyreke. Tyreke is a shooting guard playing point who can't play point or shoot. The only thing he can do and does well consistently is get to the rim. Like Woot, I am not sure how much of this team I can endure to watch Jimmer. They're bad.

And the Lakers effing suck. Eff you Stern. Mitch you better get Howard here. And quick.

I hate it when you don't have an answer to World Peace.

That was good, Blueintheface.

Haha. That's great. Makes me wonder why nobody else has thought of it.

How is "black hole" racist?

It's not. But when you have the word "black" in a negative statement about an African-American player, there be dragons.

I wouldn't worry about it. If anyone complains, it would be more a reflection on them than you. IMO, only racists see racism.

It seems all the rookies struggled tonight. Kyrie Irving started like 1-7. Kemba was 3-10. I watched Spurs vs Grizz and Kawhi is a freak athlete, had some solid rebounds in traffic a few nice steals but was terrible offensively (2-9 shooting).

Ricky Rubio had 6 points and 6 assists in 26 minutes but he picked up 5 fouls and gave up a lot of buckets.

Derrick Williams was 6-15 for 12 points.

Brandon Knight 3-9 shooting with 4 turnovers.

Rought night for the rookies all around. Jimmer plays again tonight at Portland. Free NBA league pass until the 8th of January. 8pm Mountain time tip.

If you have "colored" friends you can get away with it.

Rubio's athleticism looked better than I remember from the Olympics. And kid dropped some seriously sick dimes last night. He had one that showed vision as impressive as anything you'll see in the league. Also had 5 boards and no turns. The 4 fouls/defense were the biggest negative in an otherwise fairly impressive debut.

Tristan Thompson had an impressive debut. It will be interesting to see what happens with him since so many thought he was a major reach on draft night.

I found some floor, corner tickets behind the visitor's bench for $225 for the pair. Gidget said no. I have to go to a dinner with her ex step-mom instead.
