OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: December 2019

He’d be by far their best option on the bench though, if Tolliver for Randle could happen (I know it cant), they’d finally have someone on the bench who could score.

I disagree that having a player that inefficient at scoring would help the bench.

Honestly I don't get how anyone who didn't want Melo would want Randle.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

and do you want to pay him another 19 mil next yr? Didn't think so

I dont have to pay him anything, thats Jody’s money.

Its not that I have a real big desire for Randle, it was mostly a joke, but yeah Id take him over Tolliver.

The numbers were 7 - 27 (0 - 6 on 3-point attempts) for 19 points vs the Raptors and 7 - 30 (1 - 6 on 3 point attempts) also for 19 points vs the Spurs. Mind boggling.

How is 7 for 27 "less than 25%"?

 

[wizenheimer]

Now even THE HCP knows THIS is bad......

he had quite a game. 19 points on 27 shots. 7-27. Now 7-27 is not under 25%, it's over. But he was 7-30 the game before

anyway, he had a triple double with 19-13-11, but he also had 8 turnovers...yikes! That's an ugly triple-double. However, his Rockets' team won in Toronto so it was a winning triple-double....go figure

******************************************

The Nuggets won tonight with 8 players scoring in double figures. No player had more than 17; 10 players played at least 21 minutes, but none played more than 26 minutes.That's a really rare kind of boxscore

Denver is 14-5, and Jokic has played poorly this season so far...or at least he's playing much worse than last year. Maybe he shouldn't have come in looking like a 7' Pillsbury Doughboy

Jokic was also quite bad at the World Cup. It’s strange how can be so out of shape having played competitive basketball in the Summer, mind boggling really.

I wouldn’t really put much value on their win over the Knicks when it comes to assessing their depth. It’s very good but this game is not what we should use as proof.

 

[riverman]

Lakers suck the will to live out of all Pelicans and Cavs fans.....

fixed....learn the game then post FAMS!

 

[riverman]

I wouldn't do that trade. Randle is not a good player if you want to win games.

Fizdale is using him as a PF point guard and the guy has no handles....I'd predict once again, Knicks fire another coach

 

[Cugel]

something's not right with Jokic. He comes off as apathetic. if I didn't know better I would think he's unhappy in Denver but maybe its personal stuff.

I read that that is a toxic locker room…..paycheck workers not franchise builders

Something's not right with Jokic....and yet the Nuggets are still the #2 seed in the West.

I'd take that.

Man, he signed a 5 year $148 million contract, I would deem him a Golden Nugget! Surely he's got to be a happy camper?

 

[B-Roy]

Brussel Sproutsbrook is going to get exposed in the playoffs. Houston will do well in the regular season but that's it.

People make huge money working on offshore oil rigs.....problem is, they are living on an offshore oil rig

[riverman]

He had to know this was coming..

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

He had to know this was coming..

Yeah getting hired on as the Knicks head coach pretty much makes it obvious. Dolan probably wont be firing himself anytime soon.

 

[hoopsjock]

Totally Fizdale's fault the team traded Porzingis for expirings and then failed to sign quality free agents.

[TorturedBlazerFan]

SPOILERS!!!! lol

C'mon--if you haven't taken the girls to see that yet, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

I wanted to go last weekend with someone from the s2, but taking kids that young to a movie theatre has not gone well for us, so my wife said no. I may take the oldest at some point.

Gotta go to one of those theaters where everyone gets their own recliner and your family basically gets an entire box to yourselves.

It's Fizdale's fault because the Knicks traded Porzingis for expirings and didn't bring a quality free agent?

 

[DDolla]

Knicks fired Fizdale. You know the players are motivated when they fired their coach and we play them Tuesday... ugh

 

[handiman]

Link?

They're playing hungry on defense, which is the opposite of what you'd expect from a dysfunctional group.

You mean like our living room? heh.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Knicks sign 4 backup veteran PF with max cap space. Such a stupid use of cap space.

They havent signed a first round pick to an extension since Charlie Ward. That's unbelievable. The team can't decide how to build and changes its long term plan every 8 months.

 

[Labinot41]

Hopefully we go after Morris at the Deadline

I'm not worried about the Knicks.
