OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

[wizenheimer]

Many other GM's missing on those guys too.I mean look where they were drafted.

how many GM's do you think there are that missed on every one?

 

[Hoopguru]

Jody Allen didn't order Olshey to draft Zach Collins

didnt say she did. Put if they (vulcan's & Jody even Paul) don't see what you see wouldn't that explain partly why he's still here? It all starts at the top with any company.

 

[MickZagger]

if you were starting a rebuild, which PG would you rather have: Trae Young or Ja Morant?

Trae Young easily.

I think Young has Curry like potential. Morant is more flashy like Baron Davis or something

 

[Mr. Robot]

Hardaway Jr. would be a good side kick to Dame.

not really, hes 3rd option at best, hes inconsistent

hes having a good series, but hes a no show so far tonight

 

[MickZagger]

CJ, Simons and pick for Khris Middleton.

Re-sign Powell.

well, I said in another post I'm to the point of blaming Seattle for the mess as much as I blame Olshey

Just got back from coast out of range and wasnt able to keep up on all the happenings.
Id go after Spolstra make him coach and GM with a plan for finishing his career here.

what do you expect to get for a CJ? He's been #2 this series and they just may knock off the team that was a fav to win it all.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Add the ATL Hawks as another team that lapped us

 

[BigGameDamian]

Luka is just amazing!

 

[illmatic99]

Im really annoyed that we didnt get batum

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Two of my faves!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Im really annoyed that we didnt get batum

Maybe he'll come back now we've fired the coach that made him stand in the corner.

 

[illmatic99]

Cant believe dallas is getting away with playing boban so much

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Add the ATL Hawks as another team that lapped us

Chill. They play in the East.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Cant believe dallas is getting away with playing boban so much

You SHOULD say: I can't believe other teams have gotten away with playing Boban so LITTLE!

It's like the Clippers said "we'll play small!" so Carlisle said "OK, we're going to play RIDICULOUSLY big"

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Atlanta's starters were all in the negative today - Trae was -11. Philly lost this with their bench.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Doncic is laughably bad from the FT line, it’s crazy

 

[JoshuaHall]

how many GM's do you think there are that missed on every one?

Probably not many still employed by the same team

 

[illmatic99]

You SHOULD say: I can't believe other teams have gotten away with playing Boban so LITTLE!

It's like the Clippers said "we'll play small!" so Carlisle said "OK, we're going to play RIDICULOUSLY big"

And there ya go. Clips putting boban in the p&r repeatedly and getting wide open threes off ball movement

 

[illmatic99]

What an idiotic move by Carlisle. Why was Boban on the floor like that whole quarter

 

[Titan]

Clips finally showing up and balling. Looking like they are finally going further than that other LA team.

 

[illmatic99]

Wtf is boban doing back on the floor

 

[Strenuus]

Missing: L*kers fans. Last seen wearing black jerseys with Los Angeles in unique font scrawled across.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Chill. They play in the East.

Ok let’s stick with the west. Dallas lapped us, Memphis lapped us, Utah def lapped us, Phx for sure lapped us, denver lapped us, we still running the same team since LMA left while those other guys said “meh we’ll catch up with the blazers soon”

 

[Titan]

Does Dallas have one more miracle in them...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Smart move by Nate. Philly was down 6 with 38 seconds to go. They needed 3s and Simmons went 1-2 from the line......twice. (3-10 for the game)

They fouled very early in possessions and stopped the clock. On his second time at the line they were up by 8 with 15 seconds left. He made the first free throw, missed the second (on purpose?) and Embid put it back in and got fouled, turned into a 4 point play. So I disagree. Hack a guy when clock is your friend is not a good idea.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kinda glad we don't have to hear about Doncic again for a while.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Does Dallas have one more miracle in them...

Oo, oo! I know the answer!

Hey, UKRAINEFAN, I learned today that Ukraine is the largest country in Europe - is that true?
