2021-2022 NBA Season

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damn refs curtailed the Rockets winning streak by giving the visiting Bucks 32 FT's (24-32)....
....while the home team only got 20...(11-20).
And if not for Boogie Cousins' 4 PF in just 4 Min of playing time, Houston might have even had less than those 20 FTA.

123 - 114 final.

Wasn’t sure if Reaves could play at this level, I think he can.

He needs more minutes (not counting this game). Statistically, he's actually one of our better defensive players. And he can shoot. There's been plenty of times I'd rather have him out there than Ellington or Bradley

Justin Holiday is a redundant, uninspiring piece right now.

It's no coincidence that the Pacers have won three in a row with him in COVID protocols and Carlisle not feeling so obligated to play him.

As I've been saying all along, Oshae Brissett > Markieff so long as he's in Carlisle's trust.

I would absolutely trade Sabonis over Turner to free up a greater opportunity for him.

honestly if Pacers ever got healthy....

Brogdon
LeVert
Warren
Sabonis
Turner

is actually a damn solid starting 5

now losing McConnell- one of the best backup Pgs in the league sucks too

Lebron wanted Caruso to leave so he didn't have to pay the luxury tax?
Lebron wanted to lose Dudley to the Mavs as an assistant coach instead of hiring him as a Lakers assistant coach?
Lebron wanted to throw in a first round pick to the Wiz to obtain Westbrook?
Lebron wanted to hire Vogel instead of Lue?

So how is he pulling the strings, if he can't even pull the strings on these lesser things?

Jeannie has to pay the 90 Million to Russ if the he's a bust, not Lebron. I doubt she's letting Lebron make these final decisions without approval from multiple front office staff especially Pelinka. And as an owner you can't let the inmates run the asylum. If she's giving Lebron that much power than that's on her for being that stupid, not Lebron

Caruso was straight up not wanting to spend the money. Bad look.

Duarte is gonna be a solid rotation piece too.

ESPN is reporting that Lillard is being removed from any discussions that include him in potential Ben Simmons trade with the TrailBlazers. WTH? How can let it be known that they want to move Lillard and then tell the Sixers they don' want to move him for any Ben Simmons potential trades? Maybe that is why Lillard wants out of looeyville.

Sources: Lillard off-limits in Simmons trade talks

The Blazers have made it clear that Damian Lillard will not be a part of any trade for 76ers guard Ben Simmons, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe. The Sixers have become more active in their effort to trade Simmons.

They think Lillard has a lot more value than Simmons right now.

They are correct.

LeBron is 2nd oldest to average 27, 5, and 5 over a 10 game span.

LeBron is 2nd oldest to average 27, 5, and 5 over a 10 game span.

How many games did those 10 games span across?

 

[Wamu]

With the way he's playing this season he deserves an all star selection.

Let's go Lakers!

BOUGHT NOT BUILT!!! (And still hovering around .500...)

The Pacers are also bought not built. But that's different isn't it? LeBron already led the Lakers to a title. When's the last time the Pacers won it all?

It’s between IT and CP3 for me. Don’t have a problem with either tbh

 

[trojanfan12]

Tough choice. I'd go with CP3 or Stockton.

I'd have to go with IT

He played against a prime MJ, Magic and Bird and walked away with two titles during that period

Thomas is also the only NBAer that beat Bird, Magic & MJ in the playoffs. My own top 5 PG list I have him # 3 all time. Only behind Magic & the Big O.

IT got his titles before MJ figured out he needed teammates to win titles and when the Lakers were "aging out". Stocktons problem was having to go through the Showtime Lakers in the mid to late 80's and then MJ in the 90's.

So you're just going to ignore Smush Parker because he was a former Laker?

But yeah, i'm with you too, Magic, Big O and IT
