Bones Hyland - NBA Thread

[buckwheat]

They're a lot of fun to watch. Jokic is flat out amazing, Gordon is surprisingly cerebral for a guy who's probably in the top 1% of athletes in the world, KCP and Brown are great supporting cast members. Murray's not my fav but he can flat out score. If they win it all I'll be entertained by how much George Karl will hate that Malone was the one who got carried to a title by a generational talent.

I’ve watched the NBA for quite a while now, and witnessing that darn near 7 foot tall chonky boi grab a rebound and effectively lead a fast break over and over again is one of the most bewildering and impressive things I’ve seen in sports.

This may have been asked before but...If Denver wins the NBA championship does Bones automatically get a ring or is the teams discretion?

The team has to vote. If enough team members decide he gets one he gets one. I'd say its up to Joker and Murray at the end of the day.

I don't play with drama. I don't entertain rumors. Speculation and assumption are cheap. I don't buy into narratives. If they exist to be learned, I enjoy being influenced by actual facts.

Unless you've spoken with Bones or an actual coach, all I'm hearing on this issue are distant mumbles.

Well said. This was a personal and a personnel issue. Its between them. The fact that Denver is the favorite to win a chip doesnt validate nor detract from any decisions made unless some one has inside information.

There have been a multitude occurrences where an organization has screwed people over and thrived. There have also bee an multitude of times when the good guy lost. This isnt the movies.

Bottom line is unless you have the facts, opining on this one is well a waste of time.

We've all got better things to do. So lets get to it. Now let's all get back to the unreasonable bashing of Mike, Ace, oh and any poster you disagree with or agree with but simply dont like.

Go Rams!

Midseason Denver was winning but few saw them as championship material. I put money on Denver to win it all (10:1 payout). Liking my chances, now.

VCU is (should be) his home base. We should be prone to choose to support the young man and give him the benefit of the doubt the established and clearly media-driven drivel narrative does not grant him.

I get it, these guys get paid big big money and they are in the public eye and should know that it comes with the territory. However, I would hate like heck to have a camera focused on me while I was doing my job and then have social media comment. I can hear it now.... "did you see how he treated that customer!!! His delivery is awful and no closing. He should be working at Burger King".

Makes you wonder how many, if any, other bigs could have done that but were effectively shut down by their coaches.

Not many. Maybe not any.

Either way… GO HEAT!

@urmite care to weigh-in om the possibility of forum posters being apathetic?

Sadly, most people dont put themselves in those guys shoes.

Ha. The only man currently left in the playoffs that can possibly stop Denver at this point is a scorching hot Jayson Tatum.

Jokic will eat Miami alive (If they even get there).

Am I really gonna be a fan of the first team to be up 3-0 in a series and lose? I sure hope not but 😬

God I hope not. Hopefully Vincent is good to go for Game 6 & hopefully the crowd gets us going early.
