Kyrie for Harden. Harden wants out, Kyrie won’t play. That would be a hard sell for Houston though

 

[bksballer89]

Situation getting ugly

 

[WiggyRuss]

Tyler Herro- 34 points on 46% shooting, 7 boards, 4 assists.......and the worst + - in the game tonight at -17.

next closest was Maxey at -14.

lol.....i mean that would be hilarious

Rockets are kind of sunk on Wall though. Not like they can move him and he makes a lot of $.

id say maybe Wall and Harden---- for Kyrie- in a salary move---- but shit- i cant even fathom having to cobble together enough contracts to match those 2 going the other way.

getting rid of Walls deal would be a nice little carrot to hang in front of Houston though.

 

[WiggyRuss]

just for the record- dont blame Herro at all for taking over--- in fact it was pretty impressive

20 years old- no butler, no bam- playing at Philly.

shows he has a lot of guts

 

[WiggyRuss]

no Drummond, Garland, Sexton, Love for the Cavs tonight

4/5 of their starting lineup

not to mention Exum and Delly- their back, and backup to the backup point guard. Cavs are brutal right now and their back court - is just ridiculous.

i dont mind at all

one more year of flying under the radar- take stock, see what you have, and then start going up.

What is your point? Miami had 8 guys available including 3 who are end of the bench/2 way players.

Ben Simmons was a plus 2band anyone who watched the game would tell you he played like crap. Watch the games before you come in here with your +/- bs to try and prove some irrelevant point

Herro was great tonight

 

[WiggyRuss]

Dean Wade, Yogi Ferrell, Lamar Stevens, and Marques Bolden- 4 guys were either not on the team, or at the very bottom of the Cavs roster, played a combined 76 minutes tonight. With a healthy roster they likely play 0 minutes.

its brutal right now.

Paschall out tonight for Covid protocols. He’s been a big factor of the teams recent success. We’re gonna need a big game from Wiseman and Oubre to make up for his scoring

Another rough night for Curry, but Oubre just had his best half ever as a Warrior

Oubre is a solid guy. He wasnt gonna shoot 15% from 3 all season. He is coming around and getting comfortable.

Pacers are a very solid team defensively- but with Oladipo not playing and Warren out for an extended period time- they really lack a lot of scoring punch.

do you like anyone on the Warriors bench?

 

[bksballer89]

Anyone could watch James Harden and see he is out there going through the motions.

Harden who is probably the best scorer in the league is avg just over 17 PPG in his last 5 games and is barely getting to the line. This is the guy who is probably the best in NBA history at creating contact and he actually had a game with 0 fta in 32 minutes of action. That is a major red flag

Tell Curry stop fucking up. Need 25+ along with the Warriors winning to hit on my parlay

Not a Warriors fan but Paschall and Lee are both solid

The Pacers are completely selling out to prevent him from even attempting a shot. It’s crazy the way they are guarding him. They’re playing him excellent and avout as well as I’ve seen a team guard him.

The Warriors bench has actually been really good this year. Paschal and Lee in particular. Bazemore has been very good too. Mulder has been a nice find. He at least tries on defense but more importantly he can flat out shoot.

where is Patrick McCaw when you need him? lol

is he still in the league?

yah Lee is not terrible i guess. At least he has a little experience and has been fairly efficient with his time thus far this year.

we may have competing definitions of "very good".

as an overall unit- i dont know many benches in the NBA that have less talent.

There's more to having a solid bench than just scoring.
