In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
That's pretty embarrassing.
Especially just sitting there taking the L!
Was hearing rumors of Grant, Bey/Hayes and a first round pick for Simmons which already sounded like too much from Pistons. Apparently Sixers want to replace Grant with Cade in that scenario. I want some of what Morey is smoking.
The best video is of him running in the tunnel trying to come back from the other side.
LeBron should get a 1-3 match ban here as well in a fair NBA

Good win, but relatively uninspiring game. Dubs in front from the outset and the Raps never really got that close. Good games again from Wiggins and Poole with 30+ points each.
Its so important to have guys to step in when your main threat is what 12pts with 20% FG in 37 min. Compare that to some other teams where team is in plus when their main guy is in the game and team ends up in minus while on the bench. GS looks really great right now.
Lebron has truly become an actor. Elbows the guy in the face and then fakes concern over his health.

That was odd. I “hate” James, but the motioned seemed like him trying to push away an arm, not to land an elbow. Though maybe there’s a better angle I haven’t seen.
There is another angle. He took a glance then moved his elbow but connected with his fist. If he didn't take that look, I'd consider it accidental
That is so true. The Raptors game plan (like most teams) was to stop Steph and it pretty much worked last night. Trouble is, when you do that the rest of the team gets real open looks. Wiggins and especially Poole (who just couldn't seem to miss) took advantage of that in spades. Team looked real good without seemingly having to get out of 1st gear. Just hope they can stay injury free once Klay and "Wise" come back. If they can keep a full roster it's really starting to look like they might have a shot this year.
They were discussing this on the Dubs post-game show last night. The general consensus was that Stewart will get suspended for a bunch of games while LeBron because he is LeBron will largely escape "scot free" since the refs have already given him a flagrant 2 and of course because he is LeBron.
He clearly meant it.
LeBron does a lot of dirty stuff but gets away with it because he's LeBron.
Okay, yeah that was intentional.
Intentional and deserves a couple of games.
Stewart though, very rare to see such an extended rage reaction, he just kept going, long after the point when the vast majority of people would start to calm down.

As Gilbert Arenas wisely said, NBA will be hounding for Stewart's drug test results and drive him out of the league.
Not generally a man you would ascribe much in the way of wisdom to but yes in this case I think he may have it right( not the hounding out, but scrutiny), because that was just way over the top, understandable to react initially but even as 20 year old, he should be expected to take control of himself.
Nope, if he was going to he would've done so before everopne got involved. He went up to LeBron and gave him a gentle shove.
Definitely intentional. We see it when footballers glance back knowing where/when the opponent is going up for a header and/or looking to throw an arm or elbow around.
Olden days this would have been settled on the court via a mass brawl. Found Westbrook's tough guy bystander act kinda funny. He also wanted nothing of it in reality.
Or back into them Harry Kane style
Stewart bodying guys out of the way just shows how much fake tough guy “hold me back” posturing there is. Westbrook pretending to square up while being so easily held back.
weird to see him that angry for that long. You could be generous and say he knew he was going and tried to take a few Lakers with him but that sounds very Joey Barton. Most likely just macho bs. Not surprised by the drug test comment. He did do a great job using the towel lady as a screen for his route, the Lions could take a look at him
lebron’s “tried to get his number to apologise” is very phony and so very LeBron, given it was so clearly intentional

Not sure how true but I read some say Stewart snapped because either something was said to him by Lebron or he didn't immediately realize he was bleeding severely.Stewart bodying guys out of the way just shows how much fake tough guy “hold me back” posturing there is.

That would explain him not decking LeBron to begin with.Not sure how true but I read some say Stewart snapped because either something was said to him by Lebron or he didn't immediately realize he was bleeding severely.

feck Westbrook!
Stewart actually started off by being a boxer in his younger days so could probably throw a punch or two. His reaction was quite severe though and deserved the ban he got.
Heard a podcast recently discussing Wiggins likely being first player with 20k points and no All-Stars appearances. That actually seems quite likely.
Great win out in Utawh
How Anthony Davis made the top 75 players of all time I will never know.
He's playing well this season and is a career 25/10/3 guy who is a stud defensively and shoots above 50% and has a decent 3 ball.
He is quite overrated.
He really doesn't. Sub 30% for his career and a juicy 19% this season.
The problem with him is that he can't carry a team because for some he reason, despite all his gifts, he often outright refuses to impose his will on a game. At this point, there's no way he should make it into the top 75 ahead of Howard.
He has the 3rd highest PER in NBA history and isn't considered a leader. Nothing about that suggests that he's overrated. He's either rated just about right or is underrated.
It's slightly over 30% according to basketball reference. He isn't a great 3 point shooter but above 30% for his career is decent for a big man.
I'd say that was decent for a big 15 years ago, not these days. He's simply not a good 3 point shooter.
Edit: I looked at the wrong line on BBRef, you're right, he's slightly sub 30 in the last 3 seasons, not overall. That's still not decent.

Nah even today it's decent. Brook Lopez is just above .300 for his career. Going by this list

The average for the best shooting big men ever is about .37
