OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD: November 2019

[THE HCP]

I wonder how many of those Pelicans will be playing tomorrow or not?

Also, you have to dress 8 players so I'm assuming they'd be required to dress one of their 2-way players tonight.

Or an assistant coach. See: Dee Brown/Tree Rollins

Makes one wonder--if the Raptors could trade Drake, would they?

For Dame Dolla? In a heartbeat.

Just on that snapshot, look at how far they're setting screens for him. Past half court? And then have him run downhill in a 4 on 4, with a big switched on him? Man, Whiteside might be unplayable tonight

Or you know they could just not pressure all the way out to half court.

So the guy tries to go under the screen (I think that's Chandler?) turns around and runs into the defender so he can't recover. Nice.

Ryan Anderson waived by the Rockets. Watch Neil sign him for cheap lol

think they used the only available roster spot on Melo.

Logic doesn't matter to some people.

Doncic with another triple double...and he's only 20 years old. Damn

 

[B-Roy]

Derozan has 36 points on 20 shots with no 3 pointers taken. That’s kind of nuts for a backcourt player.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Doncic with another triple double...and he's only 20 years old. Damn

Superstar. Dallas is so lucky. They didn’t even need to suck long at all to get him. How lucky are they...

6300-word article about the Sacramento Kings chief revenue officer stealing from the team. Kevin Arnovitz likes to write long.

[SheedSoNasty]

The league has a Doncic problem on its hands.

 

[HailBlazers]

Imagine drafting a questionable big man over a future hall of famer like that.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Lost in the various NBA storylines this season (Lakers/Clippers, Harden may average 40, Doncic may be better than Lebron...) is the fact that Giannis appears to be even better this year than last. He's averaging 30/14.5, and is now shooting 32% from 3.

 

[wizenheimer]

Imagine drafting a questionable big man over a future hall of famer like that.

yeah....Doncic and Booker would be a dynamic duo at wing; and a dynamic duo at wing is a template for being a perennial contender

Is it a compliment or an insult that Dame isn't on there?

 

[THE HCP]

The internet is UNDEFEATED!!!!!

 

[Mediocre Man]
