OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

Knox, Obi, 2 picks.

Flip Obi, Knox, & 1 pick for Wood.

Take DJJ & 2 picks (including 1 of our future ones) to Indiana for TJ Warren.

That doesn’t sound like a great return for CJ at all...

Mostly because that package wouldn’t nearly be enough to get Wood. NY could outright offer that for Wood if they wanted to. The Rockets already traded Harden for abunch of nothing. I highly doubt they do that trade for Wood.


Neither Obi nor Knox will help us next year. If CJ to NY happens, we would at least need Robinson back who would immediately make our defense better in the second unit in place of Kanter.

Out of the 140 points, Harden contributed 68 points. KD has 42 and Kyrie has 39. Now that’s a super team.

Clips vs Mavs....this is a good example of the refs being a factor early. IMO they are letting the Clip be aggressive on D and then called two highly questionable calls on the Mavs.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Pretty obvious Luka probably shouldn’t be on the court. Or at least he shouldn’t be trying to shoot 3’s.

Carlisle had to use the Challenge in the first quarter.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

No one going to beat the Nets

I think the Bucks will. I trust their defense over the Nets.

I guess so. When three guys can contribute 149 out of 140 points they’re pretty tough to beat.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

If that team doesn’t win a Championship it would be a failure in many people’s minds.

They should win it all barring injuries.

Dinwiddie is out for the playoffs. If they win title anyway, it would be incredible.

Then how’d they lose Game 3 to injured mediocre team?

Jrue on Kyrie, Khris on harden, Giannis on KD

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Dinwiddie is out for the playoffs. If they win title anyway, it would be incredible.

Yeah I hear James Harden has a hang nail as well.
We all know Griffin can’t dunk anymore.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I tend to agree with Barkley.
If the Mavs lose this game and with Luka hurt they are in big trouble.

 

[ehizzy3]

Dallas role players are hot or cold. Usually you want consistency with your role players lol

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Oh another idiot fan. This time in Boston.....throwing a bottle at Kyrie.

 

[DDolla]

Sorry but Dallas are done

 

[DDolla]

Dallas role players are hot or cold. Usually you want consistency with your role players lol

It’s like Big Nurk. Can’t play great for 2 straight games

 

[DDolla]

Only Brandon Roy can come back from a 20 + point lead in the 4th qtr

 

[Hoopguru]

Then how’d they lose Game 3 to injured mediocre teams?

Dont they have one if the worst defensive teams?
I actually think a potent offense is the best D. If any of these teams struggle with their shot game over.

I actually have been thinking about the Knicks being willing to give up that exact package for CJ but I think the thing that makes sense for our team and the Raptors if they're serious about a youth rebuild... like they seem to be would be the haul from the Knicks going to the Raptors along with the cap relief and we get Siakam. If we then re-signed Norm got a new coach that would actually use DJJ and used the MLE on a backup PG.

Then we'd have Dame, Norm, RoCo, Siakam, Nurk, DJ, Nas, Ant, probably just Zach, MLE PG and probably a re-signed Kanter despite his weaknesses.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Not that it would have made a difference but how does someone like Doncic go 0-5 from the line in a critical playoff game?
(well under 50% for the series)

 

[wizenheimer]

basically, the Clippers' starting unit is 4 SF's and tweener guard

Batum has been really good for them in a swiss-army-knife kind of way

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Only Brandon Roy can come back from a 20 + point lead in the 4th qtr

We were only down 18 to start that quarter.

 

[PCmor7]

I think he's playing hurt.

 

[MickZagger]

We were only down 18 to start that quarter.

Well technically…

 

[Sheldon Shape]

It’s like Big Nurk. Can’t play great for 2 straight games

That's only because our team goes away from him the game after he dominated. Shows we're not a very disciplined team when we aren't letting him touch the ball. That goes to coaching.

 

[crandc]

I had thought Clips were dead in the water. Weird series.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Busy working tonight. How did our hated rivals to the south fair? How did LeBron look......”OLD”?

Well, he certainly looked "TIRED"

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Batum has been really good for them in a swiss-army-knife kind of way

Dude is making shots he bricked over and over again in critical situations when he played here. He was just so inconsistent is was frustrating. Loved his game but hated that he brought it once in four games.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Well, he certainly looked "TIRED"

Not only that but he should have been called for the foul.
