OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: November 2019

[THE HCP]

LOL, you mean you're jealous of a team that hasn't made the playoffs any of the last 6 seasons?

No I think he's jealous they are playing better than us.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That's changing the goalposts a bit though. Of course they're a great franchise but being jealous of a team beating the Bulls in November after that team sucked for the previous 6 years is a little odd.

Besides, this was the same guy who said he was done watching basketball this season and already declared the Clippers champions.

Didnt you kind of move the goal posts too...? He said he was jealous of the Lakers winning (Right now), so you brought up the last 6 seasons...

I mean I sort of agree with you, but he’s obviously looking for some instant gratification and some wins now. Im sure the Blazers will give him some.

 

[THE HCP]

Could you imagine this place if Dame got THREE TRIPLE DOUBLES IN A ROW?!?!?

 

[THE HCP]

ESPN and the league are pissed.

Evan Turner got 2 in a row. We still wanted him gone.

That washed up old guy in LA just got his 3rd straight and nobody is acknowledging it. Guess I will. On a suds note, LeBron is averaging a career high 11.2 dimes a night. Still early, but that is impressive.

The Clippers play back-to-back games on national TV both tonight and tomorrow night so they shouldn't be getting heat for this in my opinion.

 

[THE HCP]

Not to bring up the Lakers on here, but just saw that AD and Howard are #1 and #2 in the league in blocks! That HAS to have something to do with their hot start right?

You realize that's not actually true, right?

Where is Meyers?

That's because he's their PG right now. Jordan averaged a triple double the whole time he played PG under Doug Collins, but it turned out to be bad for the team.

Also: Russ averaging one for a whole season while the team was mediocre has significantly devalued the TD. Get back to me when LeBron gets a 5 x 5 (like Batum and Nurk)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Not to bring up the Lakers on here,

Good.

but just saw that AD and Howard are #1 and #2 in the league in blocks! That HAS to have something to do with their hot start right?

Yes, how would they have beaten such giants as (checks notes) The Grizzlies, Hornets and Bulls (just) without that?

JUST watched the game in NBATV and they said they were 1 and 2? Never will trust NBATV again.

 

[THE HCP]

Good.

Hey Blazers fan......and the 2 sausages who LIKED your post......Golden State on line 1. I'd rather BEAT bad teams, than LOSE to 'em.

So you're saying the Lakers don't suck as much as us like it means they're good?

 

[DDolla]

I’m still scratching my head how did we lose against this Warriors team... smh

At least you wont have to worry about that happening again, if we lose to the Clippers.

I don’t know where you got that FAMS. They are playing better than us and their record shows it.

The Blazers are playing like poop no doubt about that, but the discussion was your lakers, and their schedules been a lot easier.

JUST missed the 5 x 5. If the Magic offered THIS guy for CJ I'd at least be interested.

Great write up on Doncic and how he is having an MVP type season and is ONLY 20.

I take it you're surprised by this?

Do you think Doncic has a ceiling higher than Dame?

Yes.

WOW

I'm not.
