The Official Bigfooty NBA 2022-3 Week 5 Thread: Coming of Age

[nahnah]

Embiid is having a solid game

 

[Warsaw]

Aye that 2-hour lunchbreak WFH was time well spent. Put it as part of my PD.

Normal Embiid line 59/11/8/7 blocks. 101 points in 24 hours.

Carries them to a dub against the hottest team in the league.

Carry on.

 

[hamG]

The things Embiid had to do to barely beat Utah, crazy.

 

[Iceman!]

Utah are good though and no Harden

 

[kozi]

Embiid might be done for good after those two games on a back to back

 

[hotchilli]

Warriors getting all the luck on these iffy calls the last few minutes.

 

[Memphis]

Crazy.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Mike Brown potentially leading the Kings back into the playoffs after so long was not the NBA storyline I was expecting,but totally here for it

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Warriors getting all the luck on these iffy calls the last few minutes.

Eventually their luck had to run out !

Absolutely chuffed for the long suffering Kings, they deserve some light at the end of such a long, dark tunnel

 

[QuietB]

Do get a ban if I say Russ is playing good?

 

[silverscope]

Warriors getting all the luck on these iffy calls the last few minutes.

Nah its not them. It's purely because they are playing the Kings.

Until I'm standing in the light with the sun burning me I won't let my heart believe.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Dollars to Donuts the Knicks will win a couple of wins on this road trip and Thibs will find a way to survive.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Crazy.

Did he stay vertical for all of it?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Dwight Howard recently signed with the Taoyuan Leopards in Taiwan's T1 League. Soon, a familiar face could join Howard in Taiwan.

The Tainan TSG GhostHawks are hoping to sign Carmelo Anthony to a contract for this season. GhostHawks head coach Liu Meng-chu said that the team's ownership had greenlit making an offer to Anthony.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

So Orlando get Chicago's first round pick (unprotected) as part of the Vuckevic trade this season.

Bulls almost have to try consider trading DeRozan at this point, cause their next few years looks grim, esp in a young and rising Eastern Conference, or face being in a Knicks like hell/purgatory for the next 5 years.

Billy Donovan will probably get fired, but it's just a poor and unbalanced that has a very limited ceiling.

Taiwan is a country full of beautiful people and food. But mostly people

Darius Garland is this year's Ja Morant.

In that when he plays his team is 2-5 and when he is out they are 6-0.

Weird way to hang the jersey? What you gotta take the washing line down to get it off. Couldn't just photoshop 2 more pegs.

Obviously to stop it getting stolen.

 

[Memphis]

Until I'm standing in the light with the sun burning me I won't let my heart believe.

Give them 20 more games and they'll find a way to screw it up and start the rebuild again...

 

[Memphis]

We should make it 7 in a row against the thunder.

Unless Shai and Giddey both go off against us.

Shai absolutely giving it to us. Be interesting to see what adjustments we make & Tatum as unbelievable as he’s been, needs to stop jacking up 3’s & look for other ways to score when it’s not falling for him.

5/22 from 3 isn't helping.

And we've come out sloppy in the 2nd half.

JB needs to learn how to not travel and dribble ffs said this in the finals and he is still doing it.
