OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: December 2019

That Pelicans loss isn’t looking too bad now. They’re going to beat the Nuggets in Denver tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

They were smart to get the ball out of Harden's hands; especially with Paul gone and Gordon out.

Yep. Harden actually shot great but he only shot 1 FT and Westbrook threw up a bunch of bricks. That is how you beat Houston.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sorry for the Blazers but the Lakers are not losing 5 straight games. If the Blazers lose to Utah, it’s another 3 game losing streak.

I remember back in the Gerald Wallace era, the Heatles had lost 3 or 4 in a row before we played them and I thought "there's no way we can win," but we did. I think we have as good a chance as anyone.

You do realize that just because something happens years ago in a basketball year doesnt mean that it has any influence on this current iteration right? Our team is worse, our defense is putrid, and our bench sucks.

Not true. That team in 2012 was worse and didn't make the playoffs. And that Heat team was much better than this Lakers team. And our defense has been decent anchored by a DPOY candidate that is leading the NBA in blocks. The bench has been bad because of injuries to our starters but they're not as bad as you think. Skal Labissiere is becoming one of the better back up bigs in the league FWIW.

As fans, we can LEARN from the past and know not to assume we'll lose to a team on a losing streak. After all, we just extended Minnesota's losing streak from 9 to 10 last week. Learning from the past is important in my opinion. You become a smarter fan.

Why did you switch to a new account?

Why did you switch to a new account?

I don't want to tell you that but all is well.

Pelicans are a decent team when healthy (outside of Zion) and focused. That 12 game losing streak hurt but they're still only 5.5 games out of the playoffs with over 50 some games left.

Tunchi

LMAO, best answer!

Who is that?

@KingSpeed

I don't want to tell you that but all is well.

Nevermind, I figured it out. You wanted to be able to block someone and it wasn't letting you on your old account.

 

[kjironman1]

Harden taking a play off.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Harden taking a play off.

Ok, that cracked me up, at least he made it to half court.

 

[kjironman1]

That is down 3 late in the third quarter.
I can't see taking plays off at that point? But of course i have never played that level.

 

[kjironman1]

Seriously who am i to question Harden? But that one just seems bad on Christmas Day on National TV.

 

[CupWizier]

Tunchi

Now that was funny.

 

[DDolla]

Maybe the Blazers can beat the Lakers

 

[tlongII]

Even LeBron can’t stop Father Time.

 

[Dougnsalem]

LMAO, best answer!

Now that was funny.

I thought it was rather humorous at the time, however; we had a few egg nogs during the day so I wasn't quite so sure later. And I was doing so good about not posting drunk......

I couldnt tell the difference.

 

[kjironman1]

I couldnt tell the difference.

Wondering if there is?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

My guess is the biggest difference is if he remembers posting or not, not the content lol.

If there are no pictures and you can’t remember then it obviously didn’t happen.

No Name Warriors playing well. Beat the Rockets and it’s on a 4 game winning streak.

They have 2 All Stars.

 

[Strenuus]

They have 2 All Stars.

So 2 all stars leads to one of the worst records in the NBA?

Man, what were we thinking? GO WARRIORS. They MUST be really good.

Blatt has MS, so I assume that explains the retirement.
