OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: DECEMBER 2023

[Eastoff]

Going the wrong way through the drive thru. Must be really hungry.

And he has a British car with the steering wheel on the wrong side...

Would like to see the internal numbers on offensive rebounds and shot attempts exempt of tip ins with a low probability. The team does not count either, just like three point heaves at the end of the half/game.

Interesting that we are leading the league in steals.

I would like to know the number of times each player is fouled. A player might create a lot of fouls that aren't shooting fouls (where they shoot free throws) so it won't show up in the stats.

 

[KingSpeed]

The league will be fine with Jokic, Doncic, and Wembanyama.

The league will be fine with Jokic, Doncic, and Wembanyama.

Have to agree the league will be just fine. I just think the new face will be a Sharpe guy.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Supposedly this kid is 7’and 12 years old.

 

[blazerkor]

The league will be fine with Jokic, Doncic, and Wembanyama.

I agree with those guys and would just add Giannis as well.

 

[julius]

Supposedly this kid is 7’and 12 years old.

Maybe one of the Blazers future picks might land this guy. If he doesn't turn into the next Javier Lopez.


Wait, not Javier Lopez...Felipe Lopez.

6'9". Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

I mean, I'm certainly not claiming to be any kind of professional DJ or expert thereupon, but...great idea, poor execution.

 

[julius]

It would be so NBA if they announce a team in Vegas before they announce a team in Seattle.

It's also embarrassing that Vegas now has 3 teams (with a 4th and 5th on the cusp) and Seattle gets an NHL team before Portland does anything.

It's typical, and why many think there's never going to be another team in Portland. There's no drive.

 

[julius]

Nothing Steve Kerr said was incorrect though.

@THE HCP in his sleep could produce a better mix. I should know, I've be....actually, nah, we've kinda gone away from those jokes.

But seriously tho, that "mix" sounds more like something a fan did thinking they were clever, but really their 12 year old brain doesn't know any better.

Luka just toying with the Lakers.

 

[Whyachi]

Jokic tossed after double-tech bad words to official.

[BlazerBeav]

Draymond has got to go - WTF? I mean that wasn't anywhere near a situation that would lead to that kind of reaction.

 

[Whyachi]

Draymond has got to go - WTF? I mean that wasn't anywhere near a situation that would lead to that kind of reaction.

Dubs fans like Draymond clobbering time. The retired legends on TV like it. The podcasters who love football think every team needs a Draymond. Let's turn basketball into a demolition derby.

 

[Cugel]

Draymond is out of control and has serious inability to control his emotions. Enabled by GSW and the fans.

 

[MickZagger]

I’m honestly surprised there hasn’t been a player who’s clocked Draymond.

 

[Haakzilla]

Donkey needs another timeout -- 1, 2, 3 Cancun!!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I hereby renounce any support I have given to Draymon.

 

[blazerkor]

I'm pretty sure that needs a 10-20 game fine. It's actions like that, that lead to brawls. I think it happened so quickly and away from the ball that no one had time to react. The only reason that wasn't a brawl is because it put Nurk down. If Nurk would have still been standing, he would have gone after Dray and the benches would have cleared. Again I think given his history it should be closer to a 20 game suspension but at least a 10 game suspension for a strike like that from any NBA player to another.

 

[kjironman1]

Not sure this response was sincere?

 

[kjironman1]

I'm surprised Nurkic responded this well. I'm not sure i would not have been as respectful. I gained a little respect for Big Nurk on this.

 

[kjironman1]

So I watched this and am shocked how many times he has done this to Steven Adams. It's like because Adams is out this year he decided to go after Nurk?
