The funny odd thing about the Merkel thingie is fake news loves to cover it. When we all noticed H. falling apart physically, they told us to put on tinfoil hats. It took the kid from the Breakfast Club (not the movie) to ask her if there was a medicinal situation.
(basketball talk)
I think Tacko Fall will make the real NBA, yet I don't know when. He's apparently some kind of genius in real life. He's younger with already much more basketball success than Mark Eaton had at a similar age. It seems to have been Red Auerbach who claimed, "Ye can't teach height, laddies."
On the surface it looks like Fall is inept and some kind of freak, but he is actually quite athletic. For someone seven foot five, he doesn't look geeky or awkward. Because of his height, his biggest challenge might be to not get injured. He's 300 pounds. I wouldn't call him a freak, no way. He could become very smooth. He is stronger than Manute Bol was. He towers over seven footers. He could easily become pure rim protection making twenty nine other teams rue not drafting him. His free throw shooting is currently the big issue of concern, but those can be improved especially by such a smart dude.
I'm not saying he will become a starter, but he could, and if a guy like Scalabrine could last so long in the NBA not doing much, one might picture a Tacko Fall playing a good role off the bench of a championship team. I think he looks good.
It takes centers a bit longer to develop than the little guys who always had to work harder than everyone else just to survive. I wouldn't be surprised if Fall eventually makes the Celtics' rotation. It might take an injury. Most likely he will be in the development league and the C's go with Rob Williams, Theis, Kanter and there's even been a fourth center brought in from Europe. So okay, the odds are not good for Fall to get many NBA minutes if any this year. But I will say that Ainge is a moron and done if he lets Tacko Fall end up somewhere else. Stevens and Ainge are not good for each other in that they both overrate and are fixated on guards.
Doug Flutie was probably the greatest quarterback of all time, but no one in the NFL had the gonads to build a team around him. They thought he was too short. Canadians know what I'm talking aboot, eh? Yes, so Stevens and Ainge need to wtfu and stop trying to play midget ball or be too rigid. I'm not saying let losers like Kyrie Irving hijack the team and system, but mix it up for crying out loud. Don't give fucking everyone the green light to shoot threes. Don't keep doing the same things over and over becoming predictable.
I always thought that Phil Jackson triangle crap was overrated. It's sort of easy to win when a team is stacked. At that point it hardly matters who is coaching or who is the opponent. Golden State fricken cheated. LeBron James is a cheater. I'm pretty much done with the NBA, but dudes like Tacko Fall and Robert Williams are fun to watch, period. Kemba Walker is unreal. He's a winner like Flutie for a little guy. Chemistry matters. Basketball is clearly a team sport and competitive in theory but too bad about the refs, the stupid rule changes favouring offense over defense, the tanking, etc.. Fricken so much is wrong with the NBA, one might not mind if it goes down the tubes. Three pointers are overrated and boring. The star system is overrated. Sports as professional wrestling is pointless. People will stop caring and start collecting stamps instead. People are not stupid and will eventually stop watching.
