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

[serbiangoat]

I have seen very few players have the desire to play defense like Campazzo the guy could have been one of the all-time great pest in the NBA if he came when he was younger (no idea if he was good enough at that point) his speed for 30+ years old is still blinding. He can't finish a lay up to save his life but everything else is very solid excellent impact on a game and very nifty passer.

Probably my favorite assist of the year

I really like the young prospects the Pistons have. They just need that one franchise player and they can well be on their way to making good progress

I saw a video last night where Campazzo was pestering John Wall and he didn't like it very much telling him "you're flopping" and it's those type of players that I love to watch, old school, gritty and good basketball IQ.

They will have a top five pick this year and likely next year. If they hit on those two picks they would be stacked

yeah, the determining factor here is if those players they draft turn out to be studs. I'll be rooting for them. I loved watching the Pistons back in the day when they had the Wallace brothers, Billups, Hamilton, etc. One of my all time favorite teams.

While we're handing out awards, how about the Minnesota Timberwolves who somehow have a 15-42 record despite having two first overall picks on their roster and a second overall pick (who they traded another former first overall pick for). Considering that the track record of first overall picks in the NBA is actually pretty solid, it takes a special level of talent to be that bad with that much draft capitol at your disposal. And even worse, they have to give this year's pick to Golden State unless it's in the top 3 so all this losing might not even help them.

yet the kings are the laughing stock of the west

Marvin Bagley was theirs for the taking too. Missed opportunity for sure.

My guy. It’s a shame he got hurt then sick then forgotten about here.

Monte can always try again maybe by dangling Justin James

Another example of how our great coach developed guys

 

[Livinthedream]

Jabari found minutes on the Celtics, but not the Kings. Safe to say, one should hold off judging anyone's career based on how they perform in Sacramento.

That Pistons team being referred to as the one from 'back in the day' was a surprise... I thought I was still kinda young but I guess not

Yep. When someone refers to "that Pistons team back in the day", my mind goes to Joe Dumars, Isaiah Thomas, Demnis Rodman, Rick Mahorn & Bill Lambeer.

I am flipping back and forth between IND/ATL on the local RSN, and NOP/NYK on ESPN, and I switch to the ESPN game in time to see Taj Gibson get a wide-open dunk, on a nice pocket pass.

On a related subject, I just found out that Taj Gibson is still in the league.

Man, few things are as frustrating, when watching sports, as when you're switching between two games, and they both go to break, at the same time.

Almost as bad as every one of your preset radio stations at commercial at the same time while driving. Really?!?! All 6 or 8 stations? How is that even possible?

I mean, there’s a perfectly boring real explanation for that but I’ll just play along and say that it’s fate conspiring against you.

Steph ain't had to do his little brother like that.

Nuggets in double OT. Joker is so good

the MVP trophy should be his. Much love for my fellow Balkan brethren.

Watching the ball movement between Huerter/Bogi/Trae really makes you understand the importance of IQ comparing it to Fox/Hield/Bogi and my lord, funny how the 2 SG line up works for them.

Would have been one of the craziest game winners ever

Wiz seem to be clicking at the right time and winning their fair share of games

Trae Young hurts his ankle and can't walk off on his own accord, not looking promising for the Hawks

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Bogdanovic with a clutch shot, to force overtime.

 

[serbiangoat]

I have had to mute nearly all the games I watch due to awful colour commentary seriously some of the guys they have Webber/Reggie Miller and a lot of the new guys are downright terrible. The New Orleans Pelicans guy is the worst commentator I have ever heard someone needs to pull the plug on that guy.

Also the Nuggets did a Kings by getting Gordon he's basically a more athletic less skilled Barnes what a waste of money and assets (even if Murray was healthy, Grant was WAY better) Campazzo with playing time helps them more than him,

 

[Tetsujin]

Kristaps sprained his ankle

come for the fact that the Sixers once had Embiid/Holmes/Wood on the same roster, stay for old Kobe absolutely torching Sauce Castillo like he’s a traffic cone.
