But what's better is Lebron has all bigs as his starters with the exception of Kyrie. So which two among Steph, Harden and Derozan will cover 2 of Lebron, Durant, Cousins and Davis? I guess it'll be Derozan on Lebron and Harden on Durant. But fuck, post the little guys up endlessly for the first 5 minutes. I'm just impressed that Steph somehow managed to end up with both of the worst starters and the worst reserve. Not even sure how that's possible.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 13 hours ago, Red Tiger said: More like "beyond useless stat". Three-pointers were not as big a deal back then, this is in no way impressive. You have done this in the past where you said that Curry had more 3s in a single season than Bird did in his entire career. It is irrelevant. Both stats are relevant because they highlight how much the game has changed over the last few decades. Also, how long did it take you to find that old post?

Slurktan Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm hoping Curry and Kerr (I think is coach) just says we are not shooting any shots that aren't threes period. Nothing. If you get fouled put the ball down. Nothing but 3's all game long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Good news, folks: Markelle Fultz has fixed his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He Has to combat that lineup with Curry/Jimmy/Giannis/KAT/Embiid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Billy Tipton Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Woj just tweeted a few minutes ago that it's torn. Sucks, I really wanted to see the Pelicans play spoiler in the playoffs. ...So does LeBron Adam Silver pick Drummond for his All-Star replacement?

It'll have to be someone from the Western Conference, I'd imagine. Also, this is why it was dumb to draft the teams so early. Should have made it into a TV special a couple of days before the game where they have to pick the teams on live TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Blake Griffin to the Pistons for Harris, Bradley, Bobon & picks. Out of nowhere, done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that a big part of the reason he re-signed in LA was that he wanted to stay living out there. Wonder if he could tank the deal by saying he'd refuse to play for the Pistons?

Jaime L Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ugh, @Maithanet, John Wall out 6-8 weeks to have his knee cleaned out. He'd already missed time earlier in the season and even when he's played he hasn't fully been himself. The whole thing is depressing. Like Derrick Rose, he's a guy who needs his full athleticism to be a star in the league. His knee injuries don't appear as dire...but still pretty concerning. Have to say I've been pretty frustrated with this season. Beal and Oubre have made mini-leaps but it doesn't offset Wall not being the same guy and Gortat apparently passing away in the offseason and no-one realizing it. Incredibly this team has $33m tied up at the center position...when their best lineups feature no traditional center. They've been saving the potentially killer Wall, Beal, Porter, Oubre, Morris lineup for the playoff but starting to get concerned they might not even make it. 16 of the next 20 games are against playoff teams....and again no Wall. They're only 4.5 games ahead of the 9th place Pistons who now have Griffin. How are you feeling about things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's been one step forward and one step back for this team since 2014. Hopefully Wall can get back to being himself. I think that they'll make the playoffs, just because the competition for the last couple of spots doesn't scare me. Once they're in the playoffs, who knows, but my expectations are not high.

I feel like this is a trade where you can say that both teams won and lost the trade all at the same time. The pistons got better, but still not good enough to matter and they got Blake's awful contract. LA got pennies on the dollar and will not be bad again for a while, but they got out of Blake's awful contract. DeAndre should probably put his house up on the market.

James Arryn Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 There have been 8 50+ point games in the NBA this year. 4 by James Harden, 4 by the rest of the league. Tonight his boring 60 pts topped a pedestrian triple-double. (Topped by 4 pt play for 2 pt win in game without Paul, Gordon or Ariza.) But no biggie. Not sure I’ve ever seen a guy as almost-intentionally overlooked as Harden in terms of buzz about greatness. I get that for some it’s an aesthetic thing, but I mean....does anyone remember how this was going to be the year of the Harden Rule? But there are plenty of games left for someone...anyone...to develop momentum to get Harden overlooked at award time again. Who will it be this time?
