OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD- February 2021

[RR7]

So...2? Every star guard sees that defense

 

[brooklynballer]

I wouldn’t mind Dame spending more time working on his handle rather than continuing to focus on his deep range shooting ability. I mean how much farther does he want to take it? Half court?

If Dame had Steph’s handle, he’d be unstoppable.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck OKC got a young star on their hand

 

[Hoopguru]

I would in a nano second but they wouldnt. Tuner is as good as Nurk imo.

 

[Hoopguru]

Would you trade Nurk for Domantas Sabonis?

[Hoopguru]

Are you telling me they aren't as good when their second best player is out injured?!?!

and KCP

 

[Cugel]

Of course, Sabonis is arguably an all star. Nurk will never be considered an all star. Sabonis and Lavert are the future of the pacers imho.

Fuck OKC got a young star on their hand

23/6/5 on 50/40 shooting for the season. Almost makes up for this ye-ye-ass haircut.

 

[DDolla]

Blazers are in trouble. The Lakers will get back Shroeder and they will not lose 5 in a row

Dennis Shroeder does not fix LA's problems - Anthony Davis does.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Suns lost at home to Charlotte, Spurs lost in OKC. Helpful night.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Oh man Blazers are fucked. Lakers getting blown out. They are not losing again friday

 

[Strenuus]

Oh man Blazers are fucked. Lakers getting blown out. They are not losing again friday

They've lost a shit ton of games recently. They probably said that about the last game... and the game before that...

 

[THE HCP]

Would you trade Nurk for Domantas Sabonis?

I know @MickZagger would!

 

[DDolla]

Oh man Blazers are fucked. Lakers getting blown out. They are not losing again friday

That’s what I said, they’re not losing 5 in a row

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Tf happened to the Kings?

 

[DDolla]

The Jazz look good because they’re healthy. Watch them collapse when one of their players gets hurt before the playoffs. I rather have injuries early than later.

 

[wizenheimer]

Would you trade Nurk for Domantas Sabonis?

lol...absolutely, but the Pacers would laugh Portland off the phone

 

[AldoTrapani]

So how is it that the Hornets can beat the Suns but we lose by 30 fucking points?? That should tell you a lot

 

[Strenuus]

So how is it that the Hornets can beat the Suns but we lose by 30 fucking points?? That should tell you a lot

It literally tells us nothing.

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah, the Jazz have been healthy this season, and that's one reason why they are good. Another is that they have lots of talent and the roster construction is excellent. Pieces fit together and they play great team defense. They are 2nd in the NBA in rebounding, 2nd in defense rating, 4th in offense rating, & 3rd in average points. They lead the league in 3ptFGA and are 3rd in 3pt%; on the other in they lead the league in opponent's 3ptFGA's and are 3rd in percentage. And they lead the league, by a wide margin, in point and rating differentials

that isn't all just because they have been healthy

 

[e_blazer]

LeBron & Company should be in a cheery mood when the Blazers come for a visit on Friday.

 

[THE HCP]

So how is it that the Hornets can beat the Suns but we lose by 30 fucking points?? That should tell you a lot

Well the Hornets LOST to Philly by 19 and we BEAT Philly by 16.... and Phoenix beat Philly by 9.........what does THAT tell you? AbsoFUCKINGlutley nothing.

 

[THE HCP]

LeBron & Company should be in a cheery mood when the Blazers come for a visit on Friday.

I'm just so torn on who to root for.

 

[MickZagger]

I know @MickZagger would!

Hell yeah I would

 

[MickZagger]

So how is it that the Hornets can beat the Suns but we lose by 30 fucking points?? That should tell you a lot

haha that awful theory.

we could play that game all day

 

[Mr. Robot]

utah jazz were one 3-pointer away (last shot of the game with no time left) from beating denver nuggets in the 1st round

they played without bojan bogdanovic and and if im not mistaken, they missed mike conley for one or couple of games

also, they lead 3-1 in that series

so youre wrong

 

[kjironman1]

It literally tells us nothing.

The Hornets are gonna win it all and the Blazers will get the Number #1 pick!

 

[Dom McBlazer]

I'm just so torn on who to root for.

A DIE HARD Lakers fan like yourself is torn? Wtf is this?

 

[Natebishop3]

It literally tells us nothing.

Well, it tells us that the Hornets won't be a cake walk for us.
