The bucks still look like a work in progress on both sides of the court

Good for that dude! Feathery touch pays off

I love it

 

[KingSpeed]

That’s awesome but he ain’t going home with $10,000 like she said.

—Uncle Sam. More like $6700.

Isn't it closer to 50% taxes? I swear they absolutely pillage any bonuses I have gotten in the past.

$6700 more than he came with. Maybe Milwaukee’s local government isn’t as corrupt as Portlands and it goes to good use.

Doubt.

Yeah I just don’t like “he’s going home with…!” when he isn’t. Like with AGT and they ask then what would they do with a million dollars when it’s really only $25K annuity for 40 years.

Suns fans whining about Nurkic (and Eubanks)… surprise surprise

 

[blazerfan11]

The Pelicans looked horrible in the 2nd half of tonight’s game in New Orleans against the Hawks.
They were outscored 70-45 over the 3rd and 4th quarters and didn’t seems to have a plan on either end of the court.
Like many of their games, there doesn’t seem to be “the man” (or men) to give the ball to when they need some points.
Zion Williamson isn’t 100%. Don’t know if that’s permanent.

 

[wizenheimer]

Zion Williamson isn’t 100%. Don’t know if that’s permanent.

he might not be...yet

but with his mass and all those accumulated leg injuries, there is quite possibly a loss in athleticism and endurance

...he looks like it from the videos I've seen so far, yikes! Zioff.

Said it years ago. Body is not built for this. He will be out of the league in three more years.

List of the heaviest players in the NBA. Many have had some major injuries but surprisingly many are still playing.
1 Jusuf Nurkic Portland Trail Blazers 131.5 290
2 Nikola Jokic Denver Nuggets 128.8 284
3 Zion Williamson New Orleans Pelicans 128.8 284
4 Brook Lopez Milwaukee Bucks 127.9 282
5 Robin Lopez Cleveland Cavaliers 127.5 281
6 Joel Embiid Philadelphia 76ers 127.0 280
7 Andre Drummond Chicago Bulls 126.6 279
8 Omer Yurtseven Miami Heat 124.7 275
Kenneth Lofton Jr. Memphis Grizzlies 124.7 275
10 Udoka Azubuike Utah Jazz 122.5 270
Vernon Carey Washinton Wizards 122.5 270
Wendell Carter Jr. Orlando Magic 122.5 270
JaVale McGee Dallas Mavericks 122.5 270

Obviously that list is a little old. Still has Nurk on Portland and Jokic at 284 which we know he went down last year to about 260-270.

The conference shift is complete my lord, the true power resides in the East.

 

[Strenuus]

Yeah I just don’t like “he’s going home with…!” when he isn’t. Like with AGT and they ask then what would they do with a million dollars when it’s really only $25K annuity for 40 years.

If I know I'm getting $25k for 40 years I can let them know some things I'd do with it.

Like not having to worry. Lol

 

[KingSpeed]

The Suns have really fucked up. They let Bridges, the Cams, Chris Paul, and Ayton go for what?? Nurk and ancient KD? They are not a contender even when healthy. They had a great mix of youth and vets and pissed it away.

Yeah, they got hyped up by the preseason lol.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Maybe we should wait to see how they look with Booker and Beal

Probably, but that center rotation sucks bro. We know this.

True but they have multiple allstars to compensate for it. We did not.

 

[blazerkor]

We'll just see what Booker can do when playing with someone who commands as much attention as KD and we'll also wait and see if Beal's still got it. If Beal can be a real threat on offense, Booker has his best season yet on both ends and KD is as good as he was last season, they're a real problem for everyone including Denver. They have a some effort guys and a bunch of guys who can make open threes off of the bench. We know who the guys they have playing the 5 are and they're not great but with everything else on that roster they might not have to be.

 

[kjironman1]

I wonder how Nurk will respond to Durant lighting him up? It’s gonna happen. Dame never did lay into Nurk. Pretty sure Booker will also.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is that ever gonna happen? Lol

 

[Pinwheel1]

Is that ever gonna happen? Lol

Not a big KD fan so I hope not.

Damn, let's hope when they say "small"..... it is true. Those heal on their own.
