Certified Legendary Thread The Official Bigfooty NBA 2022-3 Week 9 Thread: Pelicans top of the West

[Slysh]

Just a quiet 53/12/3/1 from Embiid today

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Knicks vs Magic ECF looks a lock now

RJ Barrett 4 MVP, you heard it here first.

 

[Richard Cranium]

All pettiness aside, New Orleans' special comments guy sucks. No need to shout ALL GAME.

 

[peternorth]

Wild game in Atlanta

 

[Jatz]

I hate this team so much. Honestly ready to blow it up and start again.

The Bulls best bet is too tank the rest of the season, send Lavine out to season ending knee repair surgery, and hope you luck out in the Lotto and end up in the top four (which means you still keep your pick and doesn't go to Orlando) maybe trade DeRozan for future picks and or fringe young players.

Chicago's F/O is very unlikely to do that though unfortunately.

 

[Memphis]

That's a horrible loss for the Bucks, sheesh.

We’ll take it

 

[Memphis]

Jesus bulls, how do you lose that? Can’t defend an inbound with 0.04sec on clock….pathetic.

Yeah that was shocking that shouldn’t happen.

 

[kozi]

When he catches that ball and sees dario saric in front of him its like ding ding ding

Nawlins Zionicans

Try and convince the lakers to take Demar for the lakers 2 first rounders.

See if anyone is willing to take the lavine contract and big nic would have some value too.

If they’re smart they’d blow it up now.

Softest, front running team in the comp. Absolute indictment on their commitment to D, coughing up that soft inbound play with one touch.

The thing is they are unlikely to get inside the top 5, the other teams are too good at tanking. The odds on them tanking just to not even get the pick are pretty high

Spurs and Rockets winning a couple of times this week was a bit strange.

Think The Hornets are definitely all in the tank now, probably the worst team right now in the league right now, esp given the lack of young talent on their roster bar LaMelo, who is probably a good chance to leave in a couple of years.

Spurs, Rockets and Pistons at least have had injuries and or a couple of decent young pieces.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Zion Williamson and the Pels quietly putting together a good season.

Sneaky lil MVP candidate if they stay at the 1 seed with these stats.

Another nice late game against the clips most likely will lose I reckon the boys still aren’t over the loss to the warriors.

Chicago's F/O is very unlikely to do that though unfortunately.

I think their best move would be to trade for expiring contracts. They can use the cap space next year to make rebuilding moves and then tank that season.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Nets looking balanced;

Kd 30 points [78% TS]
Irving 24

Simmons (10/4/8 in 23)
Claxton 9
Harris 11

Warren 12 from bench

Wonder what they do before the trade window shuts.

Fans keen on the spurs center or kuzma

 

[Constantgin]

 

[Financialpanther]

Go Wemby

 

[Slysh]

24/7/4 at the half for Luka

 

[kozi]

One of the other tankers need to give him one of these

 

[srobbo]

C’s looking very clunky on O. Start Brogdon at PG & move White to the bench.
