[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (FEB)

[ESP47]

I just realized LaVert came back today versus the Bulls. I thought he was originally expected to be out the entire season?

He was until they realized it was a dislocation and not a break.

Yea with LaVert his injury looked Gordon Hayward level horrible. I was shocked when they said it was only a dislocation.

But I was even more shocked to see that he would return this year. Good for him, he's developing into a nice player.

Also, Anthony Davis played last night and he looked great, and the Pelicans won.

That must hurt to watch if you're a Pels fan. It's such an awkward situation.

McBen gets a 10-Day with the Raptors. Good for him!

 

[Kings_of_California]

Ben just signed a 10 day with the Raps

I'm doubtful that the Clippers' trades will make them more competitive this year, or were really meant to, so am hoping they'll quietly abandon the #8 slot, starting tonight. Go Celtics!

 

[burekijogurt]

Shump doing well in his first game. playing good D. 1-2 for 3.

 

[luckytkp]

The clippers came back to win. They just don’t go away.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Umm, somebody needs to explain to the Clippers how tanking works.

 

[Larry89]

Joakim Noah looked like his old self tonight, high BB IQ and nothing but hustle

 

[Tetsujin]

Thus far the Clips, Mavs, Pels, and Grizz have proven to suck at tanking

 

[Suicide King]

Pelicans trolling the NBA world by playing Davis. This is after removing him from the intro videos and requesting a trade. I suppose the T-Wolves played Butler while he asked for a trade so it's not as far fetched, got to put butts in the seats somehow I guess.

That team doesn't quit. They'll continue to fight.

with the addition of losing potential draft picks

Is this the most stacked the NBA has ever been? There are so many good teams in the league now and even some of the bad teams are loaded with young talent. I wonder if analytics is the driving force? The NBA is on the verge of a major boom with it’s global growth and the NFL trending downward.

Yeah, if they couldn't even lose last night's game, I'm a lot less hopeful about the playoffs. We'll be playing them again after another six games, but our schedule makes a 2-4 outcome look very possible, while theirs looks more like 4-2 or even 5-1. I'll take consolation from the thought that the Lakers probably can't catch up with them either.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Blazers lost today so that's nice

 

[fnordius]

Not a big fan of Doncic clutch wins, personally.

 

[burekijogurt]

JJ with some very good D during the Dallas 12-0 run in the fourth. looked very active

 

[kingsboi]

Lakers getting the Hulk smash on their heads courtesy of the Sixers....lovely

Miami is a good team. Very unlucky. Makes me feel better about how we came back an beat them on Friday.

Miami had to hit 18 three pointers to make it a game versus Oakland....glad they decided to make those against the Warriors and not the Kings

Reminds me of something that Rebecca Lobo said on Wednesday: you pretty much have to play your best game against Golden State, and hope that they also take the night off.

Trae Young seems to be looking good. Still taking all the shots he wants, but now putting up decent points per game and assists.

Yea he's looking better. Shot selection is still questionable like you said but he's improving. Coming out of college I thought for sure he would be a chucker, but he's more of a playmaker than I figured.

Cavs playing four guards and a forward, but the stubborn Knicks refuse to take the lead.

If the Knicks lose to the Cavs I'm not sure what's left to say. It'll be what...like their 17th loss in a row? They are astonishingly bad

there is some stiff competition for Zion Williamson this year when you consider the Knicks, Cavs, Bulls, Suns

 

[burekijogurt]

Shump making the right basketball plays (and shots) so far. good for him.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Cavs signed Staustak and he's currently 1-9 during his very first game against the Knicks lol. Guy is destined for China.
