OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD- February 2021

[DDolla]

Even PHX gave up a 24 point lead

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Phoenix almost Pushed them back like the Blazers did tonight, but no dice. Good on the Nets for helping us out.

 

[illmatic99]

we're tied for HCA after that BK win. jesus

 

[B-Roy]

Still salty we didn't push harder for Harden.

 

[DDolla]

Imagine if we traded CJ for Harden... man that would be yugeeeeee

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That inspired me to think about posting something really evil; but I am not gonna do it!

 

[PCmor7]

We're tied for the fifth-best record in the NBA.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Phoenix/Portland first round matchup would be really good!

 

[maxiep]

Remember when we were up 20+ against the Suns last season at home and lost? Now PHX knows how we felt.

An epic collapse.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Still salty we didn't push harder for Harden.

Still salty we didn't push harder for Harden.

Yeh he led the Nets from 20 some down without Deandre Jordan, Durant or Irving. I think 38 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds.

 

[DDolla]

Monty Williams last play was one on one on the post with Booker? I bet he learned that from Nate

 

[Minstrel]

Well, of course he did. It's not the playoffs.

Watching the game, Nash had him on the bench for most of the comeback. I think the reserves cut the deficit from 24 to 4 before Harden got back into the game. Then he came up big at the end, although Chris Paul hit some big shots in there, too.

 

[riverman]

every team is having big runs with the 3 pt fest...tonight we had Trent miss 3 3s in a row..Simon miss 2...Melo miss 2...Dame miss a couple and on the other side they made shots....that's how the 20 pt lead disappears and it happens every night now with so many 3s. 3 pt shot doesn' allow many empty possessions when the other team is making them. It's going to happen.

 

[BlazerBeav]

It finally happened! Thanks to Harden and the Nets pulling off a huge comeback in Phoenix, we finally gained ground on one of the teams ahead of us and are not tied for 4th!

 

[Serbian]

Lmao. Suns were up 21 at half time...can not believe harden took over and won. Absolute enjoy every west team loosing. We are 4th!!! Dame MVP!!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

So glad Harden is in the East now.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Thoughts?

 

[THE HCP]

I think that’s BS.
Remind Dray that the checks are clearing. Until they bounce, show up and do your job.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why are the Bulls and Pistons both scheduled for two games today? I know neither are happening because of Covid but WTH

 

[Pinwheel1]

Thoughts?

He had a few good points (AD being fined but not the Pistons) but for the most part, the only ones really throwing players under the bus when they demand a trade are the fans and the media. The NBA cannot control social media.

 

[Minstrel]

I think that’s BS.
Remind Dray that the checks are clearing. Until they bounce, show up and do your job.

He is showing up and doing his job. And making good points about hypocrisy.

I have never seen people whine so much while making tens of millions of dollars.

I have--owners during lockouts or strikes. And that's while also being worth hundreds of millions or billions.

Instructions unclear - am I supposed to be on the side of the multi-millionaires or the other multi-millionaires/billionaires?

What's the relevance of your question? You said you've never seen people who make millions complain about things like NBA players and I pointed out that the much wealthier owners fit that bill.

I guess let me know the next time a lockout comes around and I'll be on the lookout for whiny billionaires.
