OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: DECEMBER 2023

[TYDame]

Pistons are really trying hard… to tank

 

[Whyachi]

Grizzlies taking it to the Pacers. Benedict Mathurin not feeling it tonight, 1-7

Bucks having issues putting Orlando away.

the Lake Show looking like the fake show. Mike Conley and the Timberwolves are whoopin' LA in the 4th.

I think this misses the point that a lot of people miss.

In the NBA, you need one of the top players in the league to win. Focusing on position or size is a mistake.

Not historically

 

[HailBlazers]

Poor Monty. Oh wait.

 

[Whyachi]

I liked Killian Hayes shaking his head "no" while grumpy Pistons chanted. Basically saying >> piss off you little wankers

 

[blazerfan11]

Poor Monty. Oh wait.

Yes, poor to the tune of $78.5 million.

Not historically

Are you saying that historically you don't need one of the best players in the league?

No. Historically, having your best player being a small pg is not good

[julius]

did it bother anyone else that Michaels shot from the sub technically wasn't "nothing but net"?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

No. Historically, having your best player being a small pg is not good

Think the original point got lost. Agree with your statement because Curry is the only small pg that I can think that has been a 1A. Nash won multiple MVP's but was not a 1A. Original argument was that the Knicks need a 1A to get to the next level. Brunson was brought up and was then dismissed for being small. Point should have been that he was not a 1A.

FWIW, I like Brunson and think the Knicks not taking the next step has more to do with his supporting cast. Not sure if it is going to take getting someone better than Brunson to do that. Getting more production from the other supposed stars like Randle and Barrett is.

Pelicans have won 5 of their last 6. They just tromped the Cavs last night. This Sirius radio crew sounds like they'd rather drum up fake New Orleans drama, then discuss how crappy the Lakers look this season.

 

[THE HCP]

the Lake Show looking like the fake show. Mike Conley and the Timberwolves are whoopin' LA in the 4th.

WITHOUT LeBron on the road against the best team in the NBA….losing by 7 sounds about how it should have gone right?

I expected more from a WCF team. It's not my fault the Lakers made wimpy moves in the offseason. Anthony Davis is gonna get worn out carrying that squad.

[SheedSoNasty]

I thought that was Andrew Bynum for a sec

[wizenheimer]

I'd watch more WNBA if they wore shorts like that

 

[blazerkor]

BRoy would not have been a multiple time MVP if healthy but he would have been a perennial all star and most likely a perennial all nba level player. Without injury Roy, Oden and Aldridge along with Batum and other role players would have had us playing in multiple championships but Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford are not reliable sources because they're Seattle guys with ties to Roy. I wish we could have been witness to what that roster that KP put together could have done if healthy but it wasn't to be.

 

[Whyachi]

early east coast game, Jalen Brunson vs. the Bucks. The advantage is with Milwaukee atm

Not to mention roy probably doesn't fall to us at six without the knee injury concerns.

Dame and the Bucks are rollin 9&1 last 10g's with 7g win streak.

Just finishing up watching the Celtics dismantle the Clippers in LA. It was an ass whooping and then the Clips made a run to get the lead down to twelve in the early fourth before the Celts absolutely crushed them.

 

[blazerfan11]

Today Detroit can tie the single-season losing-streak record with a 26th consecutive loss in Brooklyn. (Tying Cleveland in 2010-11 and Philadephia 2013-14.)

The longest losing streak spanning more than one season is 28 games by Philadephia from 2015-16.

If the Pistons keep losing, the magic day will come on Saturday December 30th. They could obtain the undisputed longest losing streak ever in the NBA.
