Around the NBA- February 2018

[KingSpeed]

How big of a tailspin are trash Warriors in? Can Mavs pounce tonight?

 

[H.C.]

T-Mac was a baller.
However he would've have won it all even if his teammates weren't ever hurt.
He was not getting past the Spurs, or the Lakers after they traded for Gasol.

It just wasn't going to happen, he was never healthy enough... Nor was he efficient enough... Especially in his years in Houston.
Lets just ignore his Orlando days. They weren't going to get past Shaq & Kobe. Nor would they have got past the Pistons...
Tmacs best chance was to stay in Toronto and play with his cousin.

 

[H.C.]

Grammar mistake, don't have editing privileges. Whatever point still gets across.

I feel like I'm missing part of the T-Mac discussion I inadvertently started?
T-Mac was pretty awesome - just not Jordan-awesome. Durant is pretty awesome - just not LBJ-awesome. Elite players, but not the best of their generation.

My thoughts on the CLE trades. Idk. Watch if you wanna.

Fultz might not play this year WOW... Danny Ainge wins again!!!

 

[handiman]

Fultz might not play this year WOW... Danny Ainge wins again!!!

That's the best way for a Fultz team to win. And by win, I mean one game over .500

The weird thing with Ainge trades, it's usually quite obvious he's coming out way ahead. It's not like you only see the error of the other team's ways with the benefit of hindsight. Does he secretly hypnotize other GMs??

Joe Johnson is gonna sign with the Rockets, they may actually have enough to beat the Warriors if they stay healthy.

I thought Cavs were clear winners in the Irving trade...

 

[Sarni]

Kings released PapaGiannis... What a bunch of dumbasses for taking him 13th.

That was a huge reach and they actually traded no. 8 to be able to get him at no. 13. Still I find it baffling that they are giving up on everybody after a short time. It isn't like they need a roster spot and who knows, maybe that guy becomes decent eventually.

Remember when Johnson signed with the Jazz. I was like WTF. And all we got was Turner? Man outside of Durant, how many players in that class were worth the money they got? Weird.

TMac wasn't in the Jordan generation. More like Kobe but TMac played better D. Put him with Shaq and he would've won titles too.

Joe Johnson is horrible this year. I'd much rather have Evan Turner.

Then you're nucking futs because Joe Johnson is expiring and basically has the same production as the useless Evan Turner.

Can you set it up where whatever notes you seem to be looking at are more in line with the camera? Bugs me for some reason.

You're good at speaking without stumbling. I'd be like the cavs uh uh traded for uh some guy uhhhh

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

^ my wife does that too. She can leave a voicemail and wing it and it sounds like she read it from something prewritten

 

[Labinot41]

Allen Crabbe with a Clutch 3 sends nets vs Pelicans in overtime

 

[Labinot41]

Daaaaaaaaaamn Allen Crabbe looks like an all Star here hahaha

 

[Cippy91]

Daaaaaaaaaamn Allen Crabbe looks like an all Star here hahaha

Allen Crabbe is a player I would like to forget about because he just isn't who we thought he was gonna be

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

When I watch the Spurs without Leonard, I wonder why we can't play as well and as smart as them? Are we drafting players who aren't that smart? Or is it coaching?

 

[Lukee]

My boy Mario dropped 23pts on Greek Freak

 

[DDolla]

Lakers playing well with 4 straight wins and IT looks good

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I like how Pops calls a time out for the sole purpose of chewing a guy out for a defensive lapse.

Coaching+System

The Spurs have a plug and play system, which is why they can win with lesser talent.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Yup. Give Pop our team and he'd be doing wonders with it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kendrick Perkins joining Cavs. Weird.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lakers playing well with 4 straight wins and IT looks good

Lakers kind of have chance at playoffs.

 

[Rhal]

Lakers kind of have chance at playoffs.

While I wont say they don't have any shot, they need to jump 2 teams that are playing well right now and the fact they are -5 in the loss column from the #8 team is a lot of ground to have to make up with 30 games left. If they go 22-9 to put them at 45 wins they have a legit shot but thats a damn hard record for a young team with a tough end of the year schedule.

We should get one of those.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We should get one of those.

There's only two teams that can do it
