The Official Bigfooty NBA Week 2 Thread: Stop sleeping on the Knicks

[hamG]

Watching Giddy's highlights for today his lateral shiftyness and quickness is really good considering his straight line speed is not great. Handy trait to have when the defense is in transition or on the back foot he can slide across to the weaker side do the 3 step gather and use his length for the push shots and layups.

When he went to OKC I thought that was really early and a big risk, would love to know where he was on the draft boards of the other lottery teams.

Thoughts on the commentary?

Alaa laying it on a bit too thick, is usually much better that.

No issue with the foul. Alaa should have just kept to why Jo shouldn't be forcing those issues anymore. Anyone watching that (i.e anyone in Philly or choosing to watch the Sixers commentary on LP) is only caring about the outcome of one player.

FWIW Giddey hitting a clutch three moments after showed he's made of the right stuff compared to a certain other guy.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

He’s the favourite…

Not a punter, so haven't kept up with the odds, bur **** he is one impressive unit.

 

[fidstar]

Melo being the 9th all time scorer makes me sad.

 

[ManOfClay]

Melo is the only reason I wouldn’t mind Lakers going all the way.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Garrett Temple has played 40 minutes in our opening three games. In those 40 mins, we're -60 on the court.

We've played 144 minutes all up, and we've lost by a cumulative total of 43 points. That means in 104 non-Temple minutes, we're +17.


Good thing we locked him down for three more years.

Simmons out with mental health. Gets paid

Simmons out with mental health. Gets paid

He should be IL'd in my fantasy comp so I can replace him

 

[DangerSloane]

But do you know what was said?

Yada yada, shows lack of intent... blah blah doesnt bode well for the season ahead...

Mentally not there.

Should i go on?

Its not unusual to overreact to preseason, its just that only morons do it.
Really thought youd just slink away but here you are doubling down.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Reckon the Sixers should respond in kind.

"We can't pay you, our owners and team accountants are also suffering from mental health issues".

[Memphis]

Schroder had a great game.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Fantastic win by Boston against the undefeated Hornets on the road. Tatum and Brown came up big when we needed them.

We looked cooked at with 5 mins left in regulation.

All those idiots who wanted Ume Idoka fired after the first 2 games have egg on their face.
