I don't think so either but they just beat up on the Bucks without Jimmy Butler. Their defense is going to allow them to compete each and every night.

*young kids who aren’t Luka or Brunson

I wouldn't even put Brunson in that category. And we know Luka was going to get burn. Especially on a team that had Dennis Smith Jr as one of its best players.......

Yeah it was a good showing....its kind of crazy seeing all of these rookies getting meaningful playing time....but for some reason ours can't sniff off the bench.

Yeah I really like him...and don’t look now but Maxey is looking good...he was a no brainer to me but I guess I’m biased since I saw him at Garland....tough college career but the potential was all ways there.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-05-2021, 12:51 AM

Man, I dunno why Tobias Harris always got crap. He is straight up ballin' this year.

EricaLubarsky · 01-05-2021, 03:58 PM

Delon 3pts, 2reb, 3ast 39% and 25% on threes in last four games

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-06-2021, 11:36 PM

Beginning to each crow about Bogdan. He just seems to keep regressing as a player.

BPo001 · 01-06-2021, 11:42 PM

Down goes Fultz. Torn ACL. Too bad because I think he was playing well this season.

Sad.

Seemed so promising as an offensive player like Doncic. Then he sucked balls.

Then he went to Orlando and was one of the best defensive guards in the league and was starting to figure out NBA offense.

Sad for him. Lots of guys coming back from that but missing a whole season when you’re barely starting to figure it out is tough. It’s tough for grizzled vets.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-06-2021, 11:51 PM

Yeah, the Fultz news is heartbreaking. After all that work...

EricaLubarsky · 01-07-2021, 11:38 PM

Kyrie Irving’s reason for not playing tonight, according to @ScoopB: “I just didn’t want to play.”

I guess no one is paying big bucks to be in the seats, but that’s a crappy attitude

Wow. I guess signing a multi million dollar deal isn’t enough reason to play? I really dislike Kylie. I only caught the end of the game, and wondered why he wasn’t playing.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-08-2021, 11:01 PM

Bey though...

EricaLubarsky · 01-09-2021, 09:35 AM

Clippers are in trouble

Between our absolute demolition and the number of leads they’d given up, I think there is a problem with chemistry.

Warriors went on a 52-18 run to win last night

Chemistry problems with guys like Pat Beverly and Marcus Morris on your team? No way.

Oh and Morris has been hot garbage this season, and he just signed a 64 mil contract.

EricaLubarsky · 01-09-2021, 02:46 PM

Also the Clippers bench has a league worse bench

They are -266 in 10 games

Dtownsfinest · 01-09-2021, 05:58 PM

SOUTH GARLAND'S own Tyrese Maxey...39 points....7 rebounds....6 assists....2 steals.......

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-09-2021, 06:42 PM

Yeah, it's starting to get depressing if we don't start playing Green soon to see what he has.

These other rookies are showing some stuff, and we could have had them.

Yeah it is....Maxey hurts the most...I said it on here...that guy just struggled in college....but in high school you could see his potential. He could arguably be the best player in this draft...he just made so much sense at the time....and I do like Green but he was a reach I don't care what anyone says. He and Maxey are not of the same caliber.

sefant77 · 01-09-2021, 11:00 PM

Na, Maxey isnt the guy who hurts the most. That we tried hard to move up to snag Haliburton but couldnt pull it off...that hurts

Ehh....I wouldn't have traded up for Haliburton with Bronson and Luka on my roster.....

I don't disagree....but I see no point int rating up for Haliburton unless they would've taken Brunson and our 1st for him.

EricaLubarsky · 01-10-2021, 12:09 AM

Sac may be looking to rebuild their rebuild.

No team is a bigger train wreck right now

EricaLubarsky · 01-10-2021, 12:24 AM

John Collins, “we [the Hawks] are not a joke!”

Then they go 0-4

tap2390 · 01-10-2021, 08:13 AM

Here to eat my crow about LaMelo Ball. Kid can hoop, I was wrong. He is basically a taller version of his brother with more confidence and offensive variety. He’s good.

Yeah I thought he was a good prospect but to me his competition was just so bad.....and the tape I did see....he just wasn't disciplined....he was playing wreck ball. I was completely wrong on him. That guy has a star ceiling....you know its funny...his dad said a lot of things...but his dad thus far has been proven more right than wrong. He said Liamelo had the post potential of them and said all 3 of his boys would be in the NBA. I laughed when he said Liamelo would be a top pick in the draft...he's for real....I'm most impressed with his maturity not just off the court but on it.

EricaLubarsky · 01-11-2021, 09:11 AM

For those who have been asking...

I’ve been told that Kyrie is “off the grid.”

Not much to report.

They say it's because of the terrorist attack on Wednesday, but come on, this is Irving we're talking about. The guy is a total narcissistic nutcase who thinks only of himself.

Zach LaVine is really on a roll now last night against the
Clippers he had 45 points 7 reb 7 assists and was 10 of 16 on his 3-pt

He has star ceiling....thats' when when those rumors were brought up on this site.....id' take Oladipo or Levine. I'm not sure if they were ever really on the market though.

EricaLubarsky · 01-11-2021, 01:42 PM

The NBA has set a special Board of Governors meeting for Tuesday, sources tell ESPN.

Looks like we may see a shutdown followed by a bubble like last year.

I mean, what the hell did they expect was going to happen? What exactly has changed since they shut down the previous season and decided the only way to continue safely and responsibly as in a "bubble?"

Did Covid-19 go away? Did the numbers even go down? Did the danger lessen at all???

No. No they f*cking did not. The numbers have only skyrocketed and the danger has only greatly increased with a new variant of the virus that is apparently far more conatgious.

The NBA rushed into this season extremely recklessly and irresponsibly. All because they wanted that delicious Christmas Day tv money. Well now it looks like it's going to cost them a hell of a lot more than if they had waited and actually put some f*cking thought into this.

DevinHarriswillstart · 01-11-2021, 04:07 PM

This is all because of the Olympics btw. I'm going to hammer this point home because of how utterly ridiculous that is.

They should have delayed as I've stated numerous times as well. Just get the teams vaccinated then continue.

Everything about Covid has been so utterly mishandled that it boggles the mind. We have a country full of morons...simple as that.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

EricaLubarsky · 01-11-2021, 05:25 PM

Sounds like we may just get some harsher rules for players.

Stay home. Practice and get groceries only. A pseudo-bubble.

I just hope that they enforce it. Actually punish Harden for leaving to go to all-you-can-eat wings night at the strip club.

If that doesn't work, then it's either A) A bubble or B) shut down the season

EricaLubarsky · 01-11-2021, 09:49 PM

Source: NBA considering a 7 to 14 day pause amidst the growing rate of positive cases within the league. The NBA brass & GMs will meet virtually today or tomorrow to reconsider safety protocols. The league wants to avoid a pause but it is on the table.
