2021-2022 NBA Season

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dubs are struggling at home against Denver.
Steph just drained his 3,000th career 3 pointer.
Nugs up 13 heading to the 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

GS have been unusually abysmal from the FT line (13 for 27 so far)
......and they have 16 Turnovers.

That’s rough

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

That’s rough

Yep.

Now they're 14-29.
If they made just 8 of those 15 missed, this game would be tied.

Nuggets scored 29 points in the entire 2nd half, and won.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nuggets scored 29 points in the entire 2nd half, and won.

Dubs shot themselves in the foot from the FT line. (16 for 31).....to go w/ their 17 TO's.
Nugs had a 24 pt lead at one point, and barely won by 3.
Final...89-86.


At least my Knicks won earlier tonight in Minnesota.....so not a total bummer.

Cut Bazemore tomorrow and sign Stanley Johnson full time.

Also, sign another center/pf. Bron at Center is cute, but you barely got past the fucking Rockets on the 2nd night of a back to back. Didn't even play Howard tonight and he had limited minutes in the previous game. You're not gonna come out well staying that small (Bron at Center) all the time. Cut Jordan and find someone over 6'9 that's springy enough to give you 10 minutes and 6 fouls.

Warriors showed heart but Curry making it 4 on 5 in the first half was not quite enough in a spectacular second half

I'm not saying he cannot build a team without Lebron and his influence (which meant AD) only that as of now he hasn't done much that would give me much hope he could.

Is fair to say, though, his one big move that so far does not look good (Russ) also had Lebron's fingerprints on it.

I'd say that move almost exclusively had Lebron's fingerprints on it. The better move IMO was the almost completed Kings trade.

 

[shopson67]

My guess is he has more of an interest in the Showtime Lakers show he helped put together. The other seems to be something with Jeanie.

That and there may be some stuff in the other one that he doesn't approve of (exaggerations to draw viewership).

 

[shopson67]

I guess they won’t be going built, not bought

Technically, they bought the draft pick to select him.

 

[shopson67]

the Lakers are probably going to win this game. But its the Rockets. And your giving up over 50% shooting. To the Rockets.

8 guys are playing for the Rockets. Green is 19 years old. Porter is 21. Nwaba sucks. Gordon and Wood arent bad. Sengun is 19. Some guy name Armani Brooks is the 7th man and soem guy named Josh Christopher is the 8th man.

and its a close game in the 4th.

against LeBron and Westbrook. Good lord.

NO WAY i thought I would ever say this---- I never DREAMED this. But I just might take the CAvs in a playoff series.

They started Lebron at center. They have been playing more and more small ball with AD out, but that leaves them with no defense at the rim and they are allowing way to many shots at the rim. Didn't see this game, so the defense may be suffering for other reasons, but that's the trend I've seen of late.

Cavs roster is good and young, just a matter of getting enough vet leadership once we get to the playoffs (and health of course). Are Rubio and Love enough for vet leadership?

 

[shopson67]

wonder what it would take to get Terrance Ross from Orlando.

he would be a very good veteran fit.

LeVert from the Pacers or Gordon from the Rockets are also guys I was thinking of- but i dont really like either that much. LeVert more- but he will be expensive. Gordon makes 20M next year- dont want that.

Sataronsky and Josh Hart from the Pelicans might be halfway interesting.

Lakers have this guy named Russ that could be available....

Edit: too late with that joke, lol

 

[msgkings322]

Draymond out, Warriors have their lowest points scored of the year. He's much more than his 9 points a night.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Sucks for rubio

 

[Wamu]

Sucks for rubio

Didn't look that bad at first I thought. But when he needed help off the court knew it wasn't good.

they need another veteran- preferably a shooting guard if you ask me.

and if rubio is out they def. need some kind of play maker.

 

[trojanfan12]

Shumpert did win dancing with the stars.

I think that qualifies him to play D for the Lakers. lol.

It at least means he should be able to move around the court well enough to stay in front of somebody. lol

 

[dtgold88]

without Garland and Sexton the Cavs just dont have anyone that can get a tough bucket when they need it. Why Sexton is a very underated loss.

Just couldn't hit a shot after the 1st (when we couldn't miss).

Haven't heard anything on Rubio yet but that loss would be huge....especially with no sexton.
