2021 NBA regular season thread

Stat of the day:

Blake Griffin is shooting 36.5% from the field, while earning $36.5 million this season.

(Griffin is scheduled to make $39 million next season)

I'm struggling to think of a worse combination of output relative to contract size in the NBA.

The good news is that his shooting should improve to 39% next season.

I hope Blake is playing tonight vs. Boston... the C's need to string together some wins.

Blake had a decent gsme last night, I mean compared to recent results.

 

[Gman]

{{Gulp}}... I just realized that Kemba Walker is shooting 34.8% from the field while earning $34.4 million this season.

At least there is hope that Kemba will turn things around.

Doesn't that mean he will shoot 39% next season?

Your 2nd tier is all over the place.

Curry, Dame, AD, Harden and Luka are well above the rest of those guys you mentioned and right there with Embiid, Kawhi and Jokic.

Beal, Kyrie, Simmons, George, Gobert and Mitchell are not on that level in terms of individual impact.

This is why

Lucky for you I hear they're selling authentic Thunder jerseys in Dollar Tree right now.

I tell ya, that certainly came in handy during the toilet paper scarce almost a year ago....

Thunder had the 3rd most wins in the NBA the last decade.

That's even bigger than the Lakers championship rings. Thunder are clearly not skimping on their celebration.

Happy birthday to the greatest winner and one of the best defensive players in league history.

 

[Wamu]

Yeah these:

Yeah these:

Those are the same rings Jim Harbaugh passes out to his team every year after the maze 'n blew Spring Game.

That dumbbell's latest failed crusade is saying Steph really isn't that good. Was on that rant a couple of days ago.

There's three things you can count on. The sun rising in the E. Setting in the W. And wiggy saying something asinine.
