Nuggets are close -

#1 some good shooters but not Klay/Steph - still some work to do - but they are not too bad here.

#2 - We have the new sheriff in town for best second round pick of all time - The Joker

#3 - Just sign Durant in offseason

Really love the courage to tighten the rotation on the coach's part. If Plumlee can keep opposing bigs at bay, they could get real close now.

It's a miracle - Nuggets beat Tony Brothers - finally

i'm concerned all of the reindeer lovers will be seriously dissapointed today. Gianis hype train may be taking a pit stop for a bit after today  :popcorn:

you have to think Lakers fans have to be hating him these days:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2826206-clyde-frazier-says-lebron-james-doesnt-really-care-isnt-part-of-lakers

Will be something when they start to regularly boo him for killing what was at one point a young team with some promise.

The Knicks have won 14 games this season. Two of them have been against the Lakers. Burn it down.

James Worthy looks like he wants to choke somebody: https://twitter.com/i/status/1107354437356384256 

      Lebron 4 for 15 in the 4th.

Gianis is 3-9 because of Embiid on him and all ABC can do is hype his offense. weird

i usually hate the coach interviews in between commercials but thank god for the last one. ABC analsyt talking about Gianis having a good 1st half but better 3rd Q and Budenholzer luckily blew off the 1st half coment. Dude was 5 of 13

He a great player, but he's shooting 29% 3 over the past 2 years. His % has dropped every year in the league. Just feel they could be getting more out of him sticking him in the paint or at mid-range more. Have him develop that classic KG 17-footer from the elbow.

 
modogg said:
dude has around 20 FTs. he earned some of those certainly, but c'mon. Embiid with 4, Giannis with 20?

Difference is Giannis gets around the rim with ball in hand already in motion. That's always gonna get more fouls than a dude stationary posting up or taking J's as Embiid does.

yeah, if i had to guess Brett will talk to him a bit after the game. he hit a nice one here at the end, but no way he should shoot that many. Especially with a few months ago saying how much he hates shooting 3s  :loco:

 
Good win by the Sixers today. Team win. they were up all game, most of the time leading by 8 or so. Sixers did a good job of not flailing in the 4th when the heat went up

That was Jo's fault settling for 12 3pt attempts. He needs to shoot about 5 max a game. Especially if they're not falling.

yeah def. curious to hear some of Brown's post game talk. I was listening on the radio feed and they made it sound like he was encouraged to keep shooting those 3s. 

Luckily we can talk fun about it since they won. His last 3 in the 4th was fun when it swished in. 

and to be honest, i will take 12 3 pointers a game if it keeps him to 1 turnover a game

Definitely by design for Milwaukee. They'd love to let him keep shooting those instead of posting up for easier 2's and drawing fouls. Move 6 of those attempts down low and he'd have about 10-16 more points from the FTs that would go with it.

i think i would be more concerned if there was a bigger discrepancy with rebounding. My guess is this was a blip. Hopefully by design for one game. Highly doubt if they meet in the playoffs we would see a game with him having more than 5. 

 
I know divisions are meaningless now but how is there a division in the NBA 3 games under .500 with their best team?

 
If the Pelicans hadn't melted down last night they would be ahead of the Lakers who have collapsed post AD trade debacle while the Pelicans have been winning without much help from AD. Maybe AD will think about staying put.

i can not imagine why any potential FA would see the Lakers and think going there will be a good choice. Need to add multiple pieces. Would be interesting if they had a real GM what they would do this off=season

 
well, here is good news for the Lakers:

BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers have officially accepted a bid to the NIT. Congratulations! #MarchMadness⁠ ⁠

Even young millionaire guys all about themselves like AD can't be that up their own ### to think linking up with a 35 year old and one of the shallowest benches in the league (and an awful GM, sorry Magic) is a good idea, right? RIGHT?
