Not for the faint of heart

Ja out for the season w torn labrum. Surgery needed

EricaLubarsky · 01-08-2024, 10:03 PM

Well Grizz are done

EricaLubarsky · 01-09-2024, 06:30 PM

Ha! Spurs interested in Dejounte Murray. Honestly perfect fit.

I hope he goes there and I hope Spurs get him back for less than half they charged the Hawks.

I have no idea why I am so spiteful of the Hawks.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-09-2024, 08:21 PM

Prob cuz the Hawks coulda gotten THJ for Capela which I think woulda been a good trade for them. But overplaying your hand and wanting Green and the 10th pick is looney.

I feel like the league is moving away from bad deals. One can hope.

Scoobay · 01-10-2024, 11:23 PM

Damn are the jazz good? They?ve beaten Philly Milwaukee and are up big on Denver

Melonhead · 01-11-2024, 09:51 AM

Utah was hot last year so they sold players in an attempt to tank. Now they?re back to doing it again 9 of their last 11

Mavs never go on runs like that. That?s the one thing I miss about Jalen. It was stable even when Luka was out you knew the team could still win. Really set the org back 2 years of Lukas prime.

Coaches and players getting bold lol

I mean, the refs have been getting worse and worse so I don't blame 'em

6 straight
12-2

I think they are legit.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-16-2024, 01:21 PM

Yeah, I dunno why the Jazz would sell any of their players. You might get Yurtseven, but I don't know why they would trade Collins and especially Lauri.

Bucks fire their coach at 30-13.

If only we had someone running our team that was so bold to do something like that...

Dave Mason: Adrian Griffin lasted 43 games as Bucks head coach. It?s one of the shortest coaching tenures in NBA history. -Rudy Tomjanovich lasted 43 games with Lakers -Bob Weiss lasted 30 games with the Sonics -Jerry Tarkanian lasted 20 games with the Spurs ? via Twitter DeuceMason

Almost makes me think Griffin did something to get canned. Hard to think you fire a coach with a winning record on the first year of his deal.

Well they're totally going to ruin it by hiring Doc Rivers. Yikes.

How does Kendrick Perkins still have a job? He just suggested Philly shut down Embid for the rest of the season.

EricaLubarsky · 02-01-2024, 07:15 PM

Embiid looks done

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-01-2024, 10:23 PM

Pacers are 3-5 since the Siakam trade.

EricaLubarsky · 02-10-2024, 11:45 AM

refs love them some Lakers

EricaLubarsky · 02-12-2024, 09:43 PM

Wemby gonna be trouble

27pts, 14reb, 10blocks, 5assists tonight.

We thought Spurs would be an easy win, but they are starting to do some good things.

Scoobay · 02-13-2024, 10:30 PM

wow bucks blown out by heat without butler by 26
they have more issues than the dearly departed Adrian Griffin...
don't think Lillard is what they were hoping for

They replaced an elite defensive PG for an elite offensive PG (who can't defend).

If Lillard has an off night (as he did last night), they just don't have the supporting cast to score nor the defense to win a slugfest.

They're winning, but they aren't as elite as they were.

saclare · 02-14-2024, 02:23 PM

That was such a dumb trade IMO...

I get Dame is one of the best to do it at PG and scoring, but they had already proven their blueprint to work. Jrue Holiday is probably the best option at a robin as his ego is almost non-existent and he plays excellent two-way basketball to complement any star. And he's a star himself...just a weird approach after they won it as opposed to continually surround Giannis and Jrue with great support. Khris Middleton ain't it anymore.

And the cherry on top? Hiring Doc fuckin Rivers to try and right the ship. It's as if history is being ignored lol

What a weird story.

Not heated after or during a game. Stewart punches him before rhr game started?

EricaLubarsky · 02-14-2024, 11:06 PM

Grill averaging 18-6-2 for the Hornets and Hornets are 3-0

Happy for him

Me too! Never understood the hate. He didn't play well for much of the season, but I still don't get the locker room cancer stuff. Although that narrative is pushed by TMac, so...

I'm still not going to scapegoat him though. Mavs needed a rebounding center more than anything and got it.

Lol and they lose again to the grizz without Ja, Bane, or JJJ
Dame time = 7 for 21, 3 for 13 on 3's
We'd be in full meltdown for this kind of loss

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-16-2024, 07:40 AM

Replacing Griffin with Rivers is one of the most hilariously misguided moves in NBA history.

BPo001 · 02-18-2024, 03:04 PM

Dunk contest was awful this year. Judges want Brown to win it, but his dunks were terrible. Had to give it to Mac despite his dunks being pretty mid.

BPo001 · 02-18-2024, 10:53 PM

lol fans booing Dame for winning MVP. Halliburton was much more efficient. Dame shot the ball everytime he touched it though. Game was terrible as expected.

yeah when it's close like that they should have given it to the hometown player

EricaLubarsky · 02-19-2024, 10:22 AM

This was one of the worst all star weekends I?ve ever seen. I half wonder if they rethink the whole thing next year
