OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: NOVEMBER 2023 (1 Viewer)

[THE HCP]

With all of the injuries, letting Brooks walk for nothing, and suspension of Morant plus his success the past couple of years, I doubt his job is in jeopardy.

And the sad part is, on some Grizzlies forum there are dorks who can’t comprehend why this coach isn’t leading them to wins.

We know NBA front offices to be reactionary. 30 pt blowouts to lottery teams are not a great look even if justified.

And there were quite a few on here last spring claiming the NBA was unwatchable and losing fans. When they posted their best ratings ever.
You want to talk about a “sport” that is slowly dying……

I would not say it is dying because of the World Series numbers. Would say that times are changing and they are still in a good spot. When the World Series had better ratings, it was not competing with all of the other sport options. The baseball season is long and they just added more playoff games. By time the World Series rolls along, many are ready to watch something else.

Baseball also does not market it's stars like other sports. Seagar just won his second World Series MVP. Most could not identify him in public. With all of the rules changes they recently made, showing they are not incapable of change, I would not be surprised if baseball got the message and started doing it better.

They need another home run champion to show up that isn’t juiced.

Is Nurk hurt? He hasn’t done Jack shit in this game. Dude is like -3 points in fantasy for me right now.

 

[blazerfan11]

If the Suns lose to San Antonio tonight they'll have lost 2 in a row to the Spurs and have a losing record of 2-3.

Some people were talking about the Gauntlet for the Blazers as if the Western Conference will be a cakewalk for? what team?

That's the Nurkic we know. Wondering if he's hurt. Then he does get hurt.

I wonder if they miss Ayton yet lol

The Spurs are a nightmare matchup for Nurkic.

 

[blazerfan11]

The Spurs are a nightmare matchup for Nurkic.

And just as I say that he hits a three, then gets a steal.

edit: then gets taken out of the game when Wembanyama returns. Does that make sense?

 

[Natebishop3]

That dude went to the deck that hard for a shoulder to the jaw?

 

[Natebishop3]

Wemby is clearly the new anointed one. Refs aren’t calling anything on him.

 

[blazerfan11]

Phoenix is down by 20 points. I don't think that was in their game plan.

 

[theprunetang]

That dude went to the deck that hard for a shoulder to the jaw?

Probably rung his bell.

 

[blazerfan11]

Eubanks does like to give a little extra. Just can't be caught doing it.

 

[Natebishop3]

As soon as Collins leaves here he’s not injury prone and he’s money. God I hate Neil.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wemby is a cheat code.

 

[MickZagger]

Zach Collins is like the perfect modern Center. Baffling how he was never healthy with us

 

[MickZagger]

Wemby is super legit.

 

[andalusian]

Holy effing shite, wemby doin work

 

[wizenheimer]

Zach Collins is like the perfect modern Center. Baffling how he was never healthy with us

he hasn't exactly been healthy for the Spurs either. He's played in 95 games and missed 74 games

 

[Natebishop3]

Wemby is super legit.

That skinny bastard single handedly closed the gap between me and the dude I’m beating in fantasy.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

and the dude I’m beating in fantasy.

Kinky!

 

[Everything Beagle]

Kinky!

He wishes

 

[blazerfan11]

Kinky!

It was depicted in that Black Mirror episode.

 

[wizenheimer]

both Zion and Ingram are already missing games for the Pels

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Already despise Klay. Curry, too. This didn't help:

 

[handiman]

Didn't Zach miss like the first 35 games with the Spurs, since they signed him injured? If I'm right on that, your stat seems rather misleading.

 

[blazerfan11]

both Zion and Ingram are already missing games for the Pels

Zion is out due to "rest" ?

QUESTIONABLE

• Brandon Ingram (right knee soreness)

OUT

• Zion Williamson (Rest)
• Trey Murphy III (left knee, partial meniscectomy),
• Jose Alvarado (right ankle sprain), and
• Naji Marshall (right knee contusion)
