2021 NBA regular season thread

Dubs win a nailbiter vs the Bucks, nice game! Curry 41/6/4, but no Giannis so, whatevs. A win is a win. Wiseman with 25 mins 13/10/2

How was the most overrated former league MVP able to score 41, did the Bucks only have four players on the floor?

lol

No he wasn't. It was Lowry.

Yeah wasn't even close

Kind of. Giannis didn't play.

Thannasis did though. So, they still had an Antetkounmpo out there...so no excuses. lol

And why didn't Giannis play? If he didn't have a reasonable excuse patsa (the trainer/guru to the NBA) will be very critical of him.

He was scared and embarrassed to play against a team that has managed to win rings recently.

Solid move. Give them another big ( a true big finally) if Precious continues to play like crap

I don't understand why he was still available all this time. I've wanted the Lakers to sign him ever since he hit FA.

 

[shopson67]

By your "lawjik", if the Clippers win a title this year, then Rondo will be a better player than Kawhi.

Not much worry about that happening.

 

[shopson67]

The Magic said they are keeping him I think.

Trying to eke out a few wins and potentially hurt their draft slot? Or is this a pouting move over the buyout system? He's an expiring contract and not much of a trade chip for a S&T this summer at his expected salary demands.

 

[shopson67]

They just don’t lose and it seems when they do the Sixers lose as well. Getting frustrated. The big question for me is how injured KD really is. Are they just saying fuck the seeding and guaranteeing a healthy KD for the playoffs? With all of their new pieces, I would want some run together before the playoffs so they can work out roles. That’s why I think he’s in worse shape than they let on.

KD is supposed to play tonight, right?

Just read that in an article I was reading to do my daily handicapping. Ha. So that answers that question.

The Harden hamstring injury could be a bigger deal than people realize, given how tight the race is in the east for the top seed. We will have to see how Brooklyn does without him for the next couple of weeks.

Karma can be a real bitch

Lonzo Ball last night....12 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Bad shooting night but still nailing career hights in shooting %'s.

Yep.

The Nets need all of the big 3 to get out of the East, I don't think they can with just 2 of the Big 3.

Lonzo was bricking it up last night. 4-15 and a mind boggling 4-14 from downtown. Why the hell was he allowed to jack-up that many 3's? And his +/- was -24. His best stat was 11 assist & one TO.

When KD returns Kyrie will announce he needs a few games off after carrying the Nets while Durant was sidelined. He's tired.

 

[Iggloo]

At least Lonzo, unlike Ben Simmons, is actually trying to improve his shooting.

@ChiefsLakers67


Any chance that LeBron & AD sit out and only play the final 10 regular season games so they can rest for the playoffs? I'm just trying to think of things that would help the Lakers lose games.

Those nights happen to everyone. The improvement in all of his shooting percentages is pretty remarkable. But he has to sustain it or it won't mean anything.
