Exclusive Official Around the NBA: November 2022

[twobullz]

Zach Lavine benched last night; clearly not happy w/ CHI at the moment. Does Portland go after him as a FA? Probably a poor fit on a max deal.

He is not a fa. Signed through 2027. Would have to trade for him.

He’s a guard.

 

[handiman]

Sorry, maybe he didn't mean to tip it over.

Ah. It looked pretty intentional to me, basically throwing the ladder aside. Whether or not he wanted it to stay upright doesn't really have any impact on weighing his actions, IMO.

 

[PDXFonz]

Think I might change my vote to Cleveland. I think they have been impressive the last two seasons.

 

[Predator]

I think the most “surprising” team isn’t actually listed…

I’m thinking the Kings.

 

[Predator]

Oops. Keep forgetting about the Jazz.

1. Jazz
2. kings for me

Im sure he will catch hell from his mother.

Poor fit is the word (or the 2 words, I guess)

Not sure that's a good response by Giannis. Does his "right" to work on his skills supersede the jobs that the people have there?

I mean, I get that the players will work on their games after hours, but it's not their "right" to do it. And even if it was his "right", it's not like it was his home, or his reaction was a calm and rationale one. He acted immature, like a baby.

That was completely out of character from what we know of him. At least, the character we've been led to believe.

[Cugel]

What a friggin play that was! A thing of beauty. Toronto stunned. Beautiful pass.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I thought AJ Griffin was going to be a bust?

 

[Strenuus]

You've thought a lot of things because of other people.

 

[julius]

I thought AJ Griffin was going to be a bust?

You also thought Damian drank like a fish, so...

 

[Mr. Robot]

Told you we should have traded for him

 

[inconceivable]

Are we 2nd in the west again after the Griz loss?

 

[Chris Craig]

Third. The Suns lead their division so they get #2

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Third. The Suns lead their division so they get #2

That is true because of 3way tie with Denver. Otherwise we have tie breaker.

 

[Strenuus]

Are we 2nd in the west again after the Griz loss?

It's November. Who cares. Lol

 

[inconceivable]

It's November. Who cares. Lol

I wanna understand tie-breakers.

We have head to head vs PHX.

They are Division Leaders.

Division leaders get the nod, apparently.

I didn't know that before.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Yeah i don't usually look at standings until about Feb.

half-right

if it's a two team tie the breaker is head-to-head. If it's a 3-team tie, then it's division leaders

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Does anyone know Ashley Clinkscale

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Does anyone know Ashley Clinkscale

Distant relation to Colonel Klink?

 

[SIeepwalker]

[THE HCP]

Ben Simmons should get a standing ovation tonight right?
