Around the NBA - April 2017

Playoff Rondo is the best Rondo. Plus, you've got to think playing Boston is as motivated as he'll ever get.

Re: Griffin. His best skill is his passing for a 4. He may be better than Draymond.

He is actually a LOT like Mason Plumlee. Good passer, solid rebounder, good-to-great athlete, bad post moves, T-Rex arms. Difference is his jump shot has really improved (or at least so it seems when the Clips play us).

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Imagine if the Bucks had a healthy Parker.

They'd be forced to play him, and thus worse defensively. Plus Giannis wouldn't've had to become so awesome.

It's not like his jump shot could've got any worse.
His defense is horrible. It would look worse without DJ next to him.

Wait, are you claiming the Bucks would be a worse team with a healthy Parker?

Um, maaaybe...

They'd certainly be worse defensively. I think the Bucks would love to offload Parker at this point and give all his minutes to Maker.

Heck, since we're making a trade we might as well go all-in...

If there were any realistic way to add Middleton to Dame/CJ/Nurk I'd sure like to see it.

Hahahaha! Great trades.

Marcus Smart was fined 25k for flipping off a fan.

One flip-off (picture) is apparently worth a 1000 words (rant)

(Memphis coach was fined $30k)

Playoff Rondo and I think the Bulls are just healthy finally. They're a much better team than 41-41 when healthy. And something tells me that's why the Cavs were fine slipping to number 2 and taking their chances against McMillan ball.

With his knee issues, I wonder what Jabari's trade value is. He is a guy I'd gamble on if the price were fair.

 

[illmatic99]

Russell looks likes a man on fire

 

[Strenuus]

LOL I like how Wall got a couple jabs into the refs.

I love Boston Playoff Rondo and Chicago Playoff Rondo but Dallas Playoff Rondo was a joke.

 

[PDXFonz]

Game 1 Russel Eastbrook shows up

Game 2 James Soften shows up

 

[B-Roy]

Domantas sabonis is okcs Meyers Leonard. Completely useless

 

[Shaboid]

Westbrook has put up some fugly shots in tonights game. If I was an OKC fan (thank god I'm not) he would piss me off soooooooooo much.

 

[BonesJones]

Westbrook shoots so many bad jumpers.

 

[BonesJones]

If Damian had the ball as much as Westbrook he'd put up better stats.

 

[BonesJones]

Domantas sabonis is okcs Meyers Leonard. Completely useless

Except Sabonis is actually a rookie.

 

[BonesJones]

There needs to be "half fouls" and "full fouls" lol. Fouling out is dumb.

 

[BonesJones]

Refs are making all the right calls and everyone's bitching.

 

[BonesJones]

How is that a shooting foul? Harden pulls up from 3 with his off-hand only???

 

[BonesJones]

Typical late-game Westbrook.

 

[BonesJones]

Lmao. Y'all would hate Westbrook if he played for us.

 

[BonesJones]

21/61 for Westbrook in this series.

Less than a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio in this series.

Still chasing rebounds.

Overrated.
