Re: NBA
29th in the league in defense a lot of that is the pace. Hopefully adding TC is going to help. It's going to make for some high scoring games with this pace but man giving up second most points in the league and allowing 37% from 3 is not a good look. But its still early.
Re: NBA
That game was proof there is no karma, no bball god, no leprechauns….we had absolutely no right to win that game. The worst offensive showing I have ever seen (except Kyrie). This team needs to take stock. I have real concerns about Hayward, and Brad's use of Hayward.
Must admit I am loving the Houston demise...

Re: NBA
Just wait until they're real desperate and blow the rest of their core up for Butler and trade those 4 #1s as well. I knew letting 3-4 people from the rotation walk for an over the hill ball stopping Melo was a bad idea.SR wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:55 pmThat game was proof there is no karma, no bball god, no leprechauns….we had absolutely no right to win that game.

Re: NBA
We have the Knicks this afternoon.
A link with the "city edition" jerseys.
My faves are Timberwolves and 76ers. I think the Toronto one is boring. The Jazz city uniform reminds me of a Tequila Sunrise cocktail.

Re: NBA
The brightest spot for the the bulls so far in their injury plague'd start of the season has been Wendell Carter jr. He only plays like thirty
minutes a game because he's still a teenager but I think he's one of those guys that the game naturally comes easy to. Both on offense and defense.
He's usually in the right spot on the court before things play out.

Re: NBA
What do you guys think of the Jimmy Butler trade to the 76ers? Do you think he's worth trading Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless, and a future pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves ?
For me, it's premature to speculate on how the east will shift with Butler in the mix. I guess it depends on how he fits with the team and how coachable and willing he is to step up in a leadership role.

Re: NBA
Butler never wanted to leave the bulls. That's the thing that put the chip on his shoulder in the first place. He handled being traded like a bitch
He's not particularly flashy or creative, more like a lunch pail type of player who shows up and does his job.
His shooting percentage isn't that great but he can defend any teams top scorer. Philly seems a good fit for him.

Re: NBA
oh well, guess we're not going 81-1.
Pelicans were really good tonight. Raptors missed lots of shots they normally get.
CJ miles is injured AGAIN! This guy is so overrated, imo. He and Norman Powell are the weak links of the team.

Re: NBA
Excellent game, SR!
Some shitty calls by the refs near the end. Like when OG Anunoby was slammed to the grand, no call??
Van Vleet wasn't playing well last night and Lowry wasn't in top form either. JV didn't fare well with Baynes. I think his stupid man-bun threw JV off. Too many fouls too. Hopefully this little slump passes soon.
Re: NBA
, Yeah....the refs are the worst part of the NBA. Kyrie is a victim too. He gets zero calls going downhill at the rim (all year long). By far our most exciting game of the year. I can't believe Brad is still going with Gordon...the first hitch in his coaching other than some confusion a couple of years ago in the playoffs. The east is a lot of fun this year.Artemis wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 6:16 am
