I believe so.

Wait.....no, Nov 9-14th I was absent. Can't talk about it though.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I was posting in the What's New section and PM's.....but all the sports threads and PF was down.

I guess there was some sort of permissions error or something. Shaggy was busy and didn't know about it until Harold told him. Got on it as soon as he knew.

Yes. I would go crazy if I didn't have a place to go to read about and discuss the hot topic of Tristan Thompson vs. Hassan Whiteside.

If this one ever goes down permanently, the other site will do just fine.

Dallas and golden st putting on a defense exhibition tonight!

Against Charlotte, he had no plan for Monk who destroyed them in the 1st half. Came out in the 2nd half with no adjustments. Up 3 late in that game and no effort was made to deny him the ball. Then the game gets to OT and Charlotte makes it obvious what the plan was. Whoever Herro was guarding would be involved in a screen because they knew Miami wasn't smart enough to make the simple adjustment and stopped switching. As for tonight, the team was obviously struggling big time on offense and these guys with the exception of Jimmy and Bam just kept tossing up 3's. There needed to be an emphasis on attacking the basket

And finally there is the rotation issue. There isn't one good reason why Nunn isn't playing. In the month of January he avg 14 points on nearly 50% shooting. His per 36 numbers last month was very similar to his per 36 numbers last year prior to the bubble when he finished top 3 in ROY but you can't find 10-15 minutes for this guy? Ridiculous

I have nothing against Nunn, but if a team isn't winning games because he's not playing 10-15 minutes, then you have much more serious issues.
Dragic hasn't been very good, and Butler has hardly played, and hasn't been near playoff Butler of last year. Go from there.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox says holding NBA All-Star Game this year is 'stupid' due to COVID-19 concerns

Fox said he would play if selected, however, because the fine for skipping the game is 'hefty'

Embiid with 31 in the 1st half against a depleted Blazers squad. The rest of the team is still on the bus and hopefully will make it for the 2nd half.

 

[flyerhawk]

Looks like the team decided to stay on the bus. 0-12 from 3 so far.

KELLY OUBRE!!!!!!!!!!!!

@msgkings322 @CitySushi

That article with the on off stats has to be taken with a giant grain of salt. That article is basically suggesting that the Warriors would be one of the very best teams in the NBA by simply cutting Kelly Oubre. That a Klay-less Warriors team is one of the best in the NBA is a little hard to believe.

Also, there's another stat that shows that the Warriors highest net rating for a 5-man lineup includes Oubre.

Dallas is struggling this season. Can’t just assume a team will just keep being good consistently every year, they are seeing some growing pains and their defense is an issue. Losing one of the best shooters in the NBA is a bigger loss than they imagined
