2021 NBA regular season thread

[TheLonestarDUCK]

You do know a soft schedule usually follows when you had one of the toughest schedules in basketball right? What lame excuse are you going to use when they beat Phoenix and/or Portland this week?

That would be impressive if they can knock of both of them. But not likely they are an 8/9 seed in the West yet currently have 1st round home court advantage in the East.

It might be interesting to watch how hard the rockets have to work to lose 20 in a row against the thunder today.

The Ohio State? LOL.

Not sure what that has to do with this topic......The Raiders?

 

[dtgold88]

I dont completely disagree but high ankle can be a bad deal depending on severity. Especially for a guy his size.

We will see but if its severe he misses at least half of what remains of the regular season.

no doubt if high ankle, which seems to be report, he's out for a little while.

But is true he has been known to exaggerate injuries.

They really really want that pick protection

I mean, it sucked and sure thought they'd go a lot further. Figured 16 or 8. Made today a lot less exciting as was hoping to see them play another one. But never expected a 2 seed coming into the season.

Yeah that's pretty lame

Heat look like ass again. May be a blessing in disguise and force them to make a move or 2 at the deadline

 

[bksballer89]

Biggest difference with Miami this year is decline in 3 pt shooting from Duncan, Kelly, and Tyler. All 3 of those guys 3 pt % are down by at least 6% points

2/19 today i see. Yep that will do it

 

[bksballer89]

In a close ass game, those 3 guys are 2-21 from three point range and going to be the reason the Heat lose today

Now 2-21 lol. Not cutting it at all.

44% down to 38% this season-Duncan
39% down to 33% this season-Herro
40% down to 33% this season- Olynyk

If those guys shot anywhere close to last season then they're right there with Milwaukee for the 3rd season.

Herro just took a ridiculous 3 down 1 lol and of course he missed lol

33 for Herro is rough. He needs to be above league average for sure.

Lebron went back into the game for awhile after getting hurt. It can't be that bad. Right? RIGHT!?!?! RIGHT!?!?!

 

[bksballer89]

Such a horrible job by Spo just now. Down 3 and Butler grabs the rebound and for some reason he doesn't call timeout lol

 

[bksballer89]

Thank god the East suck lol. Miami will likely be in a tie for 4th when they wake up Tuesday morning.

Team need a trade badly. Precious isn't good so Aldridge will help big time and the guard play is really bad so if they can somehow get Lowry from the Raptors, that'll be bad

 

[trojanfan12]

Oh I know, different situation than coming back in after an injury. He can do what he wants though.

I've had more sprained ankles than I can remember. In my younger days, there was a period of about 10 years where I just about forgot what a healthy ankle felt like. My experience was that you can play for quite awhile after spraining an ankle. It's when you stop playing that it becomes a problem. That's when it swells and stiffens. Back then, there were times when I'd sprain my ankle, finish the game and then spend the next 3-5 days on crutches. lol

It being a high ankle sprain is probably why he couldn't play longer. Fuck high ankle sprains, those things suck.

 

[trojanfan12]

I sure as hell hope he’s not trying to please me lol

But let's just say he is...How's he doing?

 

[trojanfan12]

When it come to gambling I might be the worst. Last night picked the Lakers to win, they didn't. I picked Illinois to win, down by 9 at half.

@ChiefsLakers67

I figured out how I can derail your Lakers season. Just keep picking them to win. I'm such a jinx if I took the Globetrotters they would lose.
