Its Luka by a long shot

Evening, TJL.

This Sixers defense is such a joke.

Hate relying on other teams for help

 

[tlance]

Watching the high school dunk contest right now.

I am kind of mad.

Some of the Guys are doing some nasty dunks that would play in the NBA contest. And there is a girl in the contest. She did 2 vanilla 1 hand dunks. 1 with the right hand jumping off her left foot, and the other with the left hand jumping off her right foot (on the 2nd try).

She got 2 perfect 80s.

I am sorry. But no. It is cool that she is in the contest. But reward the best dunker.

im surprised the Magic have hung around the 8th seed as much as they have

Vucevic though--- how many big men go for 20, 12 and 4 assists? pretty nice.

Isaac and Bamba- there 2 recent high ceiling lotto picks are still very very raw and a while away from being contributors as well.

LOL farrrr from a open and shut case. Luka is not a slam dunk ROY by any stretch but hey if you want to ignore Trae avg 25+ PPG on 45% shooting for nearly 25 games (assuming he keeps this up) then go right ahead but I won't.

Also Dallas had a better team than Atlanta at the start of the season. They're supposed to be better than them.

Dallas O/U was 34.5 while ATL was 23.5 if we're looking at it that way, Young is doing more with less as that team may hit 30 wins while Dallas will struggle to get 35 wins.

Young's hot streak has put him in the conversation, where before it he probably wouldn't have even been top 3.

But the voting here won't be close and Luka will win. I will bet anything you want on that.

Sixers down 20

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Sixers really aren't helping Miami so far

They need to take care of business tomorrow.

 

[bksballer89]

They need to take care of business tomorrow.

Without a doubt. Still sucks though because had Philly took care of business and we won tomorrow, I would have been ready to say Orlando is done.

Correct.
Prob biggest game of the season and I can’t go.

@trojanfan12 and other Laker people:

Mike Wilbon just suggested that Byron Scott should be the next Laker head coach.

Didn't you all just try that?

How would Laker fans feel about a Byron Scott redo?

Was he joking?

Can't think Lebron would be good with that anyway.

 

[bksballer89]

Need to figure out a way to go 3-0 this week and I'll feel good

I'm ok with 2-1 as long as the game we lose is not to Orlando.

Sexist, mysoginitic pig

 

[tlance]

Sexist, mysoginitic pig

LOL.

She won because she is female. Not because she had the best dunks.

Really not fair to the kid who finished 2nd.

Let's have a girls dunk contest next year.

Bullshit. It’s not a huge gap imo but Luka does deserve it

 

[Bolts]

Booker dropped nearly 60 points and his team lost by over 30.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah luka in the lead at the moment but the gap isnt that large

 

[bksballer89]

 

[Bolts]

First CJ and now Nurkic.

 

[msgkings322]

First CJ and now Nurkic.

That's fucked up

Wilbon is an idiot. He's been saying a lot of stupid shit I've noticed over the last few years to the point where I think its obvious he doesn't even watch the sports much anymore. That's the only way you could spout as much uninformed shit as he does. And I say this as a loyal PTI viewer since day 1. That guy has changed.

That said, if it happened, that franchise is dead to me

I like Scott and think he'd be okay but I think Kidd or Mark Jackson will be targeted.

Scott got a raw deal the first time around, 2 years isn't enough time for any coach IMO.

Byron Scott is an absolute trash coach. He should thank his lucky stars someone was actually dumb enough to pay his ass to coach again. He's a joke.
