The Week 7 NBA Thread - where Coby White may soon go past Devin Booker

[apollo_creed]

classy as always. why didnt you take that approach towards marcus smart during his celtic days?

Are you suggesting Austin Reeves isn’t a flopper?

Maybe when he does get done you guys can lodge one of your official complaints.

That’s literally not what he said.

Although the flopping and whining complaints are so lame because EVERYONE does it in the NBA.

Kaminga sat the first 31 minutes. Played the last 17. Not sure that happens too often.

 

[fidstar]

Horrible game. Just no cohesion at the moment.

 

[fidstar]

Draymond shooting 86% from the free throw line and 45% from 3 seems sustainable.

Thanks Peter.

And yes ‘EVERYONE’ does it. You used capitals so it must be true.

Multiple questions:

1) Did Reggie move to ESPN or is this some weird one off?
2) Does anyone actually like ESPN's three point distance pop up? It's so dumb. Can't believe they still have it.
3) Why did the NBA think that having these games in a neutral venue with a quite crowd would make them seem important?
4) Do you think the NBA will admit that the courts suck and try something different next year, or are we stuck with them?

NBA staff: How can we get a free trip to Vegas?

not into it at all, the courts are so off putting for me. Feels like exhibition game even though they're actual NBA games that count to standings

Pacers v Bucks has turned out to be a cracking game, despite the boring boomer crowd and the awful design of the tournament floor.

Indy's IST performance giving off Phoenix 8-0 bubble vibes.

 

[DT_35]

Middleton just iced the game for Indy with that pathetic lazy pass

 

[NSWCROW]

THB !!

Fully on the Pacer train here

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

HALI-GOAT-ON !

His dad's reaction was priceless !

What a player

 

[apollo_creed]

Anyone but the hypocrite who cares about human rights only when it doesn’t impact his $$ LeBron.

Indiana in general are giving off Phoenix Mike D'Antoni vibes.

 

[nahnah]

Pretty sure I got shut down on here for saying Haliburton was a franchise player last year

Nah just emphasising a point that should be obvious to anyone who actually follows the league

Watch: Lakers' Austin Reaves is flopping at a whole new level

It's still a few days before the season stars, but Austin Reaves is already peaking... at flopping. Reaves contorted his body and launched himself backward in hopes of getting a foul.

Lol

No one is arguing he isn’t flopping…. But it’s funny you weren’t crying when Smart flopped his way to the least deserved DPOY in years.

ESPN, TNT to team for NBA In-Season Tournament

TNT and ESPN will use their announcers and analysts to cover the semifinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament jointly from Las Vegas in a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the competing networks.

The good news we have Doc Rivers calling the Pels v Lakers game with the TNT callers !

This is going to be sweet !

Your point is rubbish. But yeah keep using those capital letters to go with your hyperbole.

Smart was bad but never as bad or blatant as Reaves is imo. But then again I am biased.

It just annoys me he gets so many superstar calls that's all.

You don't need to back down.
He plays for a team who gets kissed on the dick on a nightly basis by the officials then call for a public inquest when LeBron doesn't get a call. Reeves is perfectly symbolic of the team he plays for and what they stand for.
