This and That

“This company does not offer refunds,” read one entry from November. “I purchased 2 items and was told there would be a 1-2 week delay. I have been waiting 6 weeks now, and when I asked why it was taking so long, I was called a ‘small baller’. At this point I believe they have decided to steal my money.”

"The customer service is awful and I believe that they are running nothing but a scam," read another.

I would say I feel sorry for the customers, but why would anyone buy BBB in the first place?

Rumor has it that James Young will sign a 10 day contract with Philly

LaVar responded to the Better Business Bureau’s rating in a text to ESPN:

“Better Business Bureau is as outdated as the Yellow Pages. Who cares about them? Tell them that Yelp! has replaced the Better Business Bureau. We honestly thought the Better Business Bureau was out of business. The new BBB stands for the Big Baller Brand.”

There is no Big Baller Brand listing on Yelp!

yeah, but don`t forget, Porzingis is " tired. "

Cavs defense absolutely getting shredded RIGHT NOW, 20 -4 Timberwolves.

They better get DeAndre Jordan, they need some defense.....IT starting.

69-42 at the half

I’d say Cavs defense needs help, they are playing none so far for 24 minutes.

IT with a martial arts palm strike right into the throat of Wiggins....not good. He’s outta there!!

Oh Cavs behind by 30, announcer said Cavs came into game giving up over 100 points in 5 games in a row.

What an epic beat down, Cavs behind by 39!!!

Maybe this is our year to get to Finals....????

It was only last season that Crowder was considered one of the C's better, as in hustling, defenders. Meanwhile, IT gets thrown out of the game for a flagrant 2 foul.

Crowder is in midst of a Marcus Smart like shooting spree.

Historic blowout happening 102-67 end of 3rd.

Thanks for the info. I am looking at the box score. King James was -39.

127-99 final score. Crowder shot 2-5, if that's a Marcus Smart-like shooting spree, then I'd be more than happy with that for Marcus . . . 40% FG shooting!

In the Rockets' 116-107 win over da Bulls, Gerald Green had 22 pts. in 26 min. He was 8-15, 4-9 on 3's. That's what I'd call instant offense from off the bench.

Boy that 2-5 really made an impact, look at his stats for this year and last 10 games

As I had said previously, I'd take 2-5, 40% FG shooting from Marcus Smart. And somehow, Marcus would make those pts. scored impact ones in the game.

IT got ejected for a flagrant 2 for hitting Wiggins.

“Now why can’t we get players like this?”

“What’s happening now,” a rival team executive told Yahoo Sports, “is that every team’s fears about drafting Lonzo are coming true.”

That's what I was gonna say when someone mentioned Gerald Green earlier in this thread.

Kelly was too big a cap hit for us as this team is presently constituted. Kelly always had the talent. He didn't have the ganas consistently. I am glad he finally got it together, because he was a true humanitarian when off the court. Too bad he waited until he left the Celts to turn it on.

Bob, now that was funny!
