Around the NBA: Restart Edition

[illmatic99]

An odd comment from LeBron who has not been that shy about calling out team-mates, coaches, or even owners!

reading between the lines, i think it's not having fans. he's not really a pickup/practice guy and thrives on having an audience. he prolly hasn't scrimmaged much in practice in maybe a decade.

Houston shot 57 three pointers making 17 in a loss. 57!

And lost.

 

[blazerkor]

And lost.

You know what they say, "Feast by the three, starve by the three." Um... at least uh... that's how I think it goes.

 

[LayneStaley]

I really wish NBA guys could opt in after opting out like baseball. IMO we are 7 deep right now, Ariza taking Mario’s minutes would be huge for us.

 

[CupWizier]

How so? He should be suspended more than 1 game actually. If Ron Artist had done that, he would've gotten 5 games minimum.

Ron Artest also had a history of issues. Giannis does not. That's the difference why.

Chris Boucher Minutes in Game21, Points 19, Field Goals Made 7, Field Goals Attempted 12, Field Goals Percentage 58.3, 3 Pointers Made 4, 3 Pointers Attempted 6, 3 Pointers Percentage 66.7, Free Throws Made 1, Free Throws Attempted 2, Free Throws Percentage 50.0, Offensive Rebounds 4, Defensive Rebounds 5, Rebounds 9, Assists 0, Turnovers 1, Steals 0, Blocks 4 , Personal Fouls 1

Zion didn't record a block or steal in the bubble.

I think if I were not a Blazers fan and was just watching games as a basketball fan, I would want to catch every Blazers games. They are so high scoring and always come down to the last minute. The NBA should be so happy we're there. These games have to be great for ratings.

Agreed.

Do the draft over and you take Ja with #1 pick. No question.

The only team that actively tries to kill its own fans.

Look at these clowns. Toronto finishes with the 2nd best record in the NBA, again. Bring on the Nets!

Is anyone going to even watch these games today?

I NEVER miss games, and I said screw it. They mean nothing. Scrubs will play I’m sure.

They might as well be summer league games.

Yeah i watched about 10 mins. That was it for me.

They determine who gets 4 or 5 seed which determines how many virtual fans get to watch.

Didn't he also say at one point that if there werent fans he wasn't playin? I think you are 100% on point. LBJ is not a self motivator like Dame is.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
