OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -April 2021

[AldoTrapani]

I was just about to come in here and say "Before @AldoTrapani beats me to it..." but you beat me to it.

Trust me it baffles a lot of people

Trial wasn’t during the Finals. The Bronco chase was. I think the verdict was in October of the following year.

I'm aware of that. You have a habit of taking things too literally.

This is a fun read (good Joakim Noah quote):

Steph Curry was unreal tonight vs Philly.

Steph Curry was unreal tonight vs Philly.

71 3 pointers in the last 10 games. A lot of bad defenses?

If the Warriors supporting cast is as bad as some (not me) claim they are, there is no excuse for it. I haven't seen all of his ten games, but he's hitting some tough shots tonight. The ISO ball is giving Philly as much trouble as anything.

Yep sometimes when players get hot there is not much you can do. When Dame gets hot, its rarely because of bad defense

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Steph is a machine. INB4, "does Steph have any slumps?"

 

[AldoTrapani]

Does Steph Curry ever slump?

 

[James lamphear]

Does Steph Curry ever slump?

When he hurt.

I was wondering this evening which teams might be passing us soon. Seems like GS and Memphis have a good chance. We might end up battling Dallas for the 8th spot.
Funny thing; I was trying to check out how far Phoenix was behind us and realized they are way ahead of us; in fact second in the West!
Chris Paul is still amazing. Went up to take a midrange shot; was getting blocked (defender actually had his hand on it ) and Paul tosses the ball backwards over his head to a guy open for a corner three. When OKC had just got him and they were saying nobody would swallow his contract, I thought the Blazers should consider it, as they had Harkless and Leonard's expiring contracts at the time. I actually don't think it would ever have worked out with Stotts and Lillard but I sure would have loved having that guy on my team.

This is actually great news. We need to keep our lottery pick

 

[DDolla]

Look at Steph Curry damn... where is Dame?

 

[ehizzy3]

Can Steph creep into the mvp race?

 

[Cugel]

Steph is insane. His last 9 games are silly good. He is truly one of the GOATs.

Annual slump. Feast or famine. Right now it’s a complete drought

Never slumps either

 

[AldoTrapani]

Jokic mvp

 

[Minstrel]

Curry shot 10-17. Pretty good shooting line for an overall game.

But that was his line just from three point territory. Pretty absurd.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Look at Steph Curry damn... where is Dame?

Above him in the standings with a worse coach?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Above him in the standings with a worse coach?

How long will his team be above the Warriors?

 

[riverman]

I discovered a good Blazer video cast channel on youtube....very balanced take on the Blazers and not getting much traffic...check em out
Portland Trail Blazers Weekly Recap (18) - YouTube

 

[DDolla]

Watching the Pelicans Naji Marshall as a two way player and we have Blevins... smh.

 

[Mr. Robot]

0.8 to go, suns up by 3, cp3 misses free throw on purpose, embiid grabs the rebound, throws the ball to the suns basket and it hits the backboard, then it hits the front rim and goes out

cp3 got lucky lol

 

[KSF-ERIC]

How long will his team be above the Warriors?

For the rest of the season.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

As much as I hate him, Westbrook is probably All NBA this year. He’s playing extremely well, esp in clutch.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Gary Trent Jr benched tonight. 5 points in 15 mins on 2/9 shooting. He was a -12. They won too.
