OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: MARCH 2024

[THE HCP]

Watching now. The Hawks/Cs game was awesome. A series would be amazing.

In my opinion I believe the Celtics would easily sweep them. But then again, you on multiple occasions have posted how I "don't know anything about the game of basketball", so what do I know FAMS.

 

[THE HCP]

This game should remind people that the Spurs basically threw away Derek White and Dejounte Murray.

Nah, the are reminded every time Vic does something no other player has done.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Nah, the are reminded every time Vic does something no other player has done.

I'll take that as an endorsement of us ditching Jerami and Malcolm for pennies on the dollar.

Has a player ever been DPOY and MVP.
That’s pretty much what they have for doing it?
If the Blazers have a way to get a player like that? Sure!

Did Jordan do that?

Did Jordan do that?

I don’t know?
Chamberlin maybe? Kareem?

Yes, three NBA players have won both MVP and DPOY in the same season:

• Michael Jordan
  Won in 1987-88 while playing for the Chicago Bulls
• Hakeem Olajuwon
  Won in 1993-94 while playing for the Houston Rockets
• Giannis Antetokounmpo
  Won in 2020

If you a player did this in today’s game they’d probably get a suspension and a fine.

If this draft had generational talent, I would have been down.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If this draft had generational talent, I would have been down.

The Spurs planned years ahead when dumping those two.

The Spurs just beat the Knicks in OT and we're now only one game out of a tie for 3rd in the lotto.

We might have to lose out though looking at the Spurs schedule

I get losing, but not by 60 again. Whatever it takes for better ping pong balls is getting embarrasing !

Challenge. Accepted.

They know the lineups are being created for losses. They're playing out the string

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. Wemby with 40/20/7. Brunson with 61 on 47 shots. And the Rockets win their 11th straight. And now the Warriors decide to be good. What a night.

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah we definitely have to lose out but the Spurs are really playing well. They beat a good Knicks team tonight. I've got the Spurs next game circled. They just need to beat the Warriors and we're tied with the Spurs and the Warriors are one step closer to missing the play-ins.

 

[wizenheimer]

some of these arbitrary cut-offs are weird....lots of recency bias

look at David Robinson's first 7 seasons:




and he was doing this for Spurs teams that averaged 55 wins/year

Ha! The Blazers just lost by 60. That is SIXTY FUCKING POINTS! Is there a question about whether they can lose the rest of their games?

 

[Samuel]

there isn’t anyone available at #1 that makes 60 point losses palatable, but that’s just me. let’s hope mike schmitz makes this all make sense this summer.

There might be other teams that want to lose just as bad.

 

[wizenheimer]

There might be other teams that want to lose just as bad.

that's about to be tested. The Blazers face Charlotte and Washington in consecutive 3-stooges games next week and all 3 teams have good reasons to lose. The question is which teams will be incompetent enough to win

Positive spin! You get an A!

Always with the rational thinking. Can’t we just lose right?

 

[KingSpeed]

It doesn’t matter how much we lose by, 16 or 60. We are trying to lose and we’re doing just that.

 

[Samuel]

Last night’s win wasn’t palatable. That’s my point.
