The Bigfooty Week 23 thread

[DT_35]

Atlanta are deadset putrid. 83 first half points and 31 second half points with a minute to go.

Trae looks like he’s sooking it up BIG TIME.

Edit: just noticed Trae and Collins didn’t high 5 after the FT whilst Trae and Clint did. Could be some beef there

In the early games

* Jokic another triple double



* Booker 46, SGA 40 as Aussie NBA sensation leaves the world in disbelief



* Embiid. Why not?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I can honestly see Giannis and JoJo really pushing Joker for the MVP in these final weeks of the regular season. Both have gained ground on him in the past couple of weeks (Philly esp looking ominous)

Celtics can GAGF. Out in the first round 100 %.
Why couldn't Ime Udoka control his boner ?? FML

Tough second half watch this.

Rockets have shot 27 second half free throws. Same team had 12 for the game, subtracting donated freebies, against the Lakers' 37 the other day.



Things that make you go hmmmm.

Yeah bizarre. Especially Green getting so many. He normally gets no calls whenever he drives.

Houston's recent hot surge makes me question whether Silas is as bad a coach as many think and or the NBA and Silver had a quiet word to their F/O about their blatant tanking. There is actually a lot more talent on that roster than you'd think.

Played pretty well too. Often seems to against us.

Do wonder if a new coach would help with his overall efficiency. From the outside looking in you guys seem to have a similar problem to us, in that the offence in particular is less than the sum of its parts.

That Lakers buzzer beater loss to Dallas could come back to haunt them

Assuming they beat the Magic here they would currently be the Number 6 seed

He's definitely a horrendous coach. We don't blatant tank as much as some given except for KPJ we haven't really had anyone out. Recently really just Smith finally finding his feet, KPJ returning even though he's horrendous as a point guard is still a significant improvement on Nix who would be bad a third choice import in the NBL.

The man benches Sengun because of his bad defence while allowing huge minutes to Green and KPJ who play D that is significantly worse than what we watched Harden play. Nearly every play out of a time out results in a turnover and anytime he can't coach we seem to win. He's the worst permanent head coach I've seen in my time watching NBA.

Sometimes i wonder if The Rockets haven't fired him yet because of the recent passing of his father. He is definitely being let go at the end of the season.

Lakers can probably only afford to re-sign one of Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell.

I would sign Reaves 100 % of D-Lo, a few years younger and isn't a high maintenance headcase, who is prone to cause problems in the locker room.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Magic ain't giving up .

Would happily trade Jaylen Brown for Franz Wagner, we need some of his Teutonic energy in Boston (Orlando ŵould be crazy to trade him though )

 

[DT_35]

What a dumb foul by Fultz

 

[DT_35]

Lakers shooting double the amount of FTs, who’d have thunk it?

You would happily trade Jaylen Brown for Franz Wagner ?? Why are you so out on Brown all of a sudden

Missed a blatant goal tend against the Lakers at a crucial point in the game too.

Mind you, the Lakers have had been on the recieving end of some lousy calls in clutch time late this season too.

I would be filthy if I was a Magic fan though

Out of contract at the end of next season and is probably not going to sign an extension. Don't want to lose him for nothing.

 

[nahnah]

Austin Reaves had more freethrows than the Orlando magic lol

The Lakers aren't missing the play-ins. It won't be allowed two years running.

Not that pesky FT count again

 

[peternorth]

Gusty win

Hope they meet Kyrie and the Mavs in the play in and Kyrie elimates them. Would be glorious

 

[nahnah]

I reckon Atlanta will do some big trades in the off season

 

[Harlequin Dream]

As buyers or sellers?

Yeah I think that plays a factor.

If we were invested in winning I think we would have pulled the trigger and brought a new coach in to change the energy with some of the big losing streaks we've had this year.
