AROUND THE NBA THREAD. NOV 2021 edition

[Predator]

Derrick Jones Jr led the bulls with a +23 in 21 minutes. Not bad.

 

[OneSport3]

Look at the bright side. At least we didn’t give Michael Porter Jr a 5 year $207 million extension to average 10 points per game.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Didn't Melo say we didn't even reach out to him all offseason? If that is true, what a fucking joke.

Scottie Barnes is looking awesome. Making the people thinking the Raptors made a mistake by passing on Suggs look foolish.

“Every team knows we’re trying to go to Jayson [Tatum] and Jaylen [Brown]. Every team is programmed and studied to stop Jayson and Jaylen. I think everybody’s scouting report is to make those guys pass the ball. They don’t want to pass the ball,” - Marcus Smart

Sounds Familiar with our players

Do you really want him back?

Boston Trailblazers?!

Marcus Smart calls on Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown to 'pass the ball' after Celtics lose third straight

 

[HailBlazers]

Raps fans are used to waiting on prospects. Franchise spends a lot of time on development. In contrast it feels like we're starting on second base with Barnes. Raps fans are really excited about his potential.

Enjoy. Nice young exciting team. I'd rather be in your position than the purgatory the Blazers are in.

Sounds fun. God I wish they’d start over in Portland.

Zioff @THE HCP ?

Zioff?

 

[Haakzilla]

Zioff?

...off the court opposite of Zi-on?

Ahhhhh, that’s good.

On the one hand, I love this:


...on the other, I'm not sure accusing Phil Jackson of racism for having Kukoc take that shot over him probably undercut Scottie's credibility a smidge.

 

[julius]

I believe there are 2 other games where Clyde almost had a QD, while a Blazer.

Alvin Robertson, Hakeem and The Admiral?

Alvin Robertson, Hakeem and The Admiral?

Yeah

[Rastapopoulos]

Alvin Robertson, Hakeem and The Admiral?

Those are my recollection, too

 

[wizenheimer]

quadruple doubles have been extremely rare

a little less rare have been the 5 X 5 games and Blazers have 2 players on that list:

Hakeem sure knew how to fill a stat sheet.

Milwaukee is not real happy right now.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Sigh. At least Kyrie isn't doing this. Yet.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Not a good list for CJ to be on

 

[theprunetang]

Sigh. At least Kyrie isn't doing this. Yet.

NBA star?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Me and you both…. I can’t wait to rebuild. I hate this Dame era this last 2 years… it’s so boring
