[srobbo]

Gees when Brunson’s shot’s off, it’s bad. Needs to get to the rim rather than settling for contested jumpers.

 

[Gigantic]

How good is Jalen Johnson

 

[peternorth]

How good is Jalen Johnson

20th pick in the 2021 draft. A lot teams passed on him

 

[Nicho50]

Our shooting has been way off today. Had complete control of the game in the first half and fallen away. Need more size in the line up been smashed on the rebounds.

 

[DT_35]

Bill Kennedy cmon man that’s no foul lol

 

[Borough Blood]

Rockets Thunder gonna be fun

 

[Gak Attack]

Take a win but we were ****ing putrid. Ime and FVV did their best to drag us to a loss.

On the plus side your D is elite. Held the Dubs scoreless for the last three minutes.

Yeah. Just lack that cool head offensively. Green and FVV far too unreliable.

I was a big no for Butler but if we only had to give up FVV and fillers you'd probably do it. Shame Reed hasn't really lived up to expectations.

Kerr whining about calls is funny given some of the shit we have copped against them over the years.

Yeah, it's one of those things where you find out in the playoffs where your offence is really at.

OKC and Orlando are good comparisons for you, you've all rebuilt and come out of it with elite defensive squads. Reckon OKC are ahead as they have you both covered offensively ATM, if fully healthy. Interesting to see so many young teams prioritising rangy defenders though.

Yeah OKC definitely ahead, just having SGA in the half court offense is hugely impactful.

Rockets rely so heavily on the defense and hustle plays to close out close games.

nek minnut butler traded?

That's standard these days.

 

[hamG]

Can someone unsticky week 9 and sticky week 10? Oh well the week is almost over now it doesn't matter much.

Also another boring day only 3 games. 8 games over the last 4 days is not the daily distraction I require.

It definitely has been a long week.

Has this been one of the most even seasons to date of the NBA in recent times?

Consistently teams that you think are bottom sides that have no chance are beating good sides.

There isn't to many games where its an "easy" beat and there has been a lot of times this season where those bottom sides like Charlotte have only lost because of injury.

OKC look the team to beat in the West but there is a dozen sides that wouldn't shock you if they end up the best and in the East on paper the Cavs look so strong but I still feel like Boston will just turn it on when it matters. The rest of the East are just so inconsistent. The Knicks on paper have one of the top 3 line ups on the East, smash teams like Denver and the Magic but can't find a way to win against Atlanta. The Bucks were a laughing stock 3 weeks ago but now could likely win the NBA cup and end up 3rd on the table in no time.

[srobbo]

How bad are Philly & how funny is it! Doesn’t matter who they throw in there, they’re on a downward spiral.
