Ja making friends and influencing people.

McCain meniscus tear and honestly, appreciate the clarity on where this season is going.

I'm sure this still ends with OKC getting the 7th pick but whatever, can prioritise getting some rays while the Sixers are playing the Kings in Feb or something.

 

[srobbo]

Atlanta have had some shocking offense possessions down the stretch.

 

[Gak Attack]

No atmosphere at all for these Vegas games

 

[fidstar]

Schroder for (basically) free seems like a great deal.

 

[Gak Attack]

Some putrid shooting by both teams but good old school physical defense. NBA being NBA though gotta keep those superstar phantom calls mixed in with blokes being clobbered for no calls.

Didn't know Green was a superstar

peternorth - a bit to unpack here

Schroder a brilliant deal from GSW but in saying that nets wouldn't have had many better offers

 

[Gak Attack]

I wish we could get him to the level he can throw balls back in with both feet on the ground a metre outside the court

I have no recollection of the moment you are referring to...

Never gets old.

Gee FVV is having some absolute horrendous shooting games.

That was diabolical. Would you consider that he's making a career out of winning a chip?

He’s been very good along with Brooks in helping to define the team culture so it really worked out well for him in terms of timing.

 

[Nicho50]

This is a game the Knicks should be winning and winning very well but been defensively poor again so far against a Magic without 2 of their best players.

 

[srobbo]

KP injured again or managed? Hasn’t reappeared after HT

 

[Borough Blood]

Mavs GSW 40 combined 3’s with a quarter to go

Was there any defence played in that game? lol

While not pretending it was a great defensive game, it was more shot making than poor defense.

Can't be too many games where a team makes 27 3s on 50% with only 10 turnovers and still loses by double figures.

Yeah there was standard NBA NON-playoffs D…I think you’re a division rival who tends to wish the worst on Dallas (the feeling is mutual btw ) but both teams just made crazy shots

there were some wide open looks made by Green because defence left him open (ie to let Gafford and Lively protect the rim like they do) but that was calculated, not poor

Luka and Curry especially hit absurd contested shots from deep and Wiggins, Klay, Hield and even Grimes were all just on from deep

 

[tigs2010]

Pistons led 112-96 with 5:38 remaining. 114-114 now. Wtf?

Went 5:27 without scoring

 

[DT_35]

This is an impressive tank job by Detroit. Should be investigated

 

[DT_35]

Tyler not the Herro

 

[tigs2010]

Well that sucked
