I think the NBA got to do a better job of scheduling the other teams during the NBA cup elimination round.

The Heat are in a stretch where they only play 4x between 12/9-12/22 and I'm sure its like that for the 21 other teams that didn't make the elimination round

Scheduling has been inconsistent all year and the NBA cup isn’t helping it. Cavs played the most games and then all of sudden play like 2 games in 8 days. 3 games in 12 days. Extremely inconsistent. It’s like another all-star break

Meanwhile I’m almost certain the Heat played the fewest games in the league. They had 6 days off in late November, 3 days off before playing Toronto last night, 3 days off before playing Detroit on Monday, and another 3 days off before playing okc next Friday.

Sinus fracture for Embiid

Not sure how serious but this could be the timeline.

Based on this healing schedule, it has been recommended that the athlete not participate in activity for the first 20 days following the fracture, light activity days 21-30, noncontact drills days 31-40, and lastly, full-contact training and game play after day 41.

That would put playoffs in real jeopardy

I am starting to think Jimmy has no chance of getting another deal in Miami.

he is 35 and in his 15th season.

I would not go passed 2 years to sign him but he will prob. insist on 3. Seems like a big risk if they would have cap room otherwise. If they would not have cap room otherwise and its just $- who cares I guess?

The refs never protect him. That asshole was allowed to just punch him in the face. Came in wild for the rebound, embiid was just standing there waiting for it. Guess he should be elbowing anyone that comes into the paint.

No, it makes him more rested for the playoffs.

Unbelievable stat. The Thunder are currently the only team in NBA history with more steals than turnovers. They currently have 27 more steals than turnovers. That’s pretty strong basketball.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

No, it makes him more rested for the playoffs.

You all are going to have maybe 35 games left when he gets back.

So we only need about 5-10 wins without him.

Working it into the season is the hardest part

Commish needs to realize we don’t care about the nba cup

Games are on tv. So much to do in Vegas. They need to rethink it. Plus right before Christmas?

One of you basketball gurus give some thoughts on why the Thunder have gone from 17th in ft attempts per game last year to last in the league this season. That is in spite of leading the league in drives to the basket both years. What changed?

I read something that they aren’t committed to Vegas after this season but either way it’s hard to get fans to spend crazy money at a neutral site unless it’s the lakers,celtics,Knicks, or Steph invoved

Refs stopped calling some of the cheap shit as of the all star break last year is my only thought
