Around the NBA (And Oregon High Schools) - January 2018

Holy crap--Harden with a 60-point triple double tonight?!

 

[illmatic99]

Lots of close games so far tonight:

OKC up 1 on WAS
MIN up 2 on TOR
DET up 1 on CLE
ORL up 1 on HOU
NOP up 1 on SAC
DEN and SAS tied

BNM

Wiz and Raps came through. Need Spurs and Blazers to do the same to cap off this night

Wait, you want the Spurs to beat the Nuggets? You're more worried about getting caught from behind than trying to catch those ahead? We're only 3 games behind the Spurs in the loss column.

 

[H.C.]

Cavs look like they have zero interest in playing defense.

 

[AFully22]

The Cavs are legitimately bad. This is more than just some mid season lull. They look so unorganized.

SAC beat NOP. A win tonight gives the Blazers sole possession of 6th in the West.

Good point. I wanted more separation. Totally spaced on the Spurs dropping possibility

 

[illmatic99]

Minny will have played four more games than us. Seems unusual to have that big a difference

 

[KingSpeed]

Just got home from Knicks game. Love breaks hand, Harden scores 60, holy crap! So now that Drummond replaces Wall in All Star game, who replaces Love? Lou Williams? Or must it be a guy from the East? Whiteside? Dragic?

Yeah dude let's get the fucking 3rd seed!!

 

[BrianFromWA]

CLE getting run by the half of DET that didn't get traded for a superstar, or the superstar.

The Cavs are legitimately bad. This is more than just some mid season lull. They look so unorganized.

Only a half game up on Miami for the 4 seed, and they host the Heat tomorrow. If they drop that one and the Pacers beat Memphis, the Cavs will only be one game up on Indy for the 7 seed in the East.

 

[H.C.]

Cavs need to trade for DJ. They need rim protection badly. Can't give up that many points in the paint to anyone and expect to win.

 

[AFully22]

Only a half game up on Miami for the 4 seed, and they host the Heat tomorrow. If they drop that one, they'll only be a couple games ahead of the 8 seed in the east.

That’s just insane. Is Tye Lue really that bad or is chemistry really that important?

 

[tlongII]

LeBron just needs to be motivated.

 

[Lukee]

Ty Lue is bad coach. Really bad. But he's there because of LeBron so it's his fault.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I knew we should have drafted Harden instead of Meyers.

 

[PDXFonz]

Minny will have played four more games than us. Seems unusual to have that big a difference

Did they play a b2b during our longish break between games?

 

[BonesJones]

Hope that video of me wasn’t misleading.

Nope, the dorkiness was obvious!

 

[KingSpeed]

Cleveland-Miami game should be great tomorrow. If Miami wins, they move into 3rd spot ahead of Cleveland.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Ty Lue is bad coach. Really bad. But he's there because of LeBron so it's his fault.

Their D is not what it used to be. Detroit short handed tonight made them look bad.

If I was LBJ I would ASK to be traded.

 

[DUB]

Simmons

 

[DUB]

Joe Ingles scored more 3's than the entire Warriors team.



Terrible D by Durant for some shots.

Shit, if I was LeBron I'd demand to go to New York. Get NYK to ship back Noah, Thomas, Ntilikina, and three 1sts. Kanter opts out, they trade Lee, and then theres a ton of cap space. Then Id get Chris Paul, Melo, and Wade to sign in the offseason.

Paul
Hardaway / Wade
LeBron / Melo
Porzingas / Melo
O'Quinn / Hernangomez

That's a legit lineup.

That would be awesome being that I'm a New Yorker. This town would LOVE to have LeBron on their side. The Garden would go nuts. Unfortunately for me, they'd be such a tough ticket that I'd never get free tix but I would totally get a NY LeBron jersey. They'd win it all. It would be cool. Unless Portland reaches Finals, then it's RIP CITY for me!

 

[THE HCP]

Damn.......

 

[THE HCP]

Shit can end......JUST like that!

There's the link for the article about Butler.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's what my sources are saying. Who would go out in the deal? Klay and Dray?

 

[riverman]

KD would be my guess
