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

no Harden, no problem. seems Houston is the one team in the league that gives the Dubs trouble, hopefully they meet in the Playoffs once again.

So Harden can wet himself once more!

he better hope Paul doesn't get hurt again

Suns already eliminated from playoff contention. Sooner than last season.

I'm watching the GSW/HOU game and Boogie is complaining to refs every single time he misses a shot in the paint.

PJ Tucker is an absolutely incredible defender. He gets his hand on the ball every time a guy tries to drive into the paint. He just creates turnovers. He's bowling ball strong too.

And his offense is there - he hits his 3s. I can seen now why he's been a coveted player.

I offer this PRIMO block by Anthony Tolliver on Giannis to the thread. How bout dat! I'd almost say this is borderline worthy of its own thread.

Thank you Mike Malone.

DSJ, Knox, Trier, plus a pick that could wind up being a good chance at Zion is a good start for a rebuild in New York and that's not even counting the picks from the Zinger trade.

Unfortunately, this is the Knicks and they're probably gonna screw it up by signing Jimmy Butler and Boogie to a max contract or something.

Knicks up by 10 with 7 minutes to go... trying to give it away though, they were up by 20+ at one point.

 

[SLAB]

And the Knicks beat the Spurs! DS Jr with the exclamation point, steals it and ices it with an alley-oop off the backboard.

Harden's 30+ point game streak ends against the Hawks, of all teams, but the Rockets still win.

 

[burekijogurt]

Dallas is fighting hard. Harrell with 30 though.

 

[SLAB]

And the Clippers won.

Horrible night to lose.

 

[kingsboi]

it seems more likely that the Spurs miss the Playoffs than the Clippers

Now, I'm wondering if Doc would have done this for Wade, as well, if he hadn't gotten run during the Heat game?

Some follow-up: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26082149/clippers-doc-rivers-uses-recognize-mavs-dirk-nowitzki

Rivers said he didn't plan the tribute, but he seized the opportunity to give Nowitzki a worthy sendoff, having regretted not having done so for the retiring Dwyane Wade when the Miami Heat visited earlier this season.

"That was just, we had a lead and I had a timeout," Rivers said. "Honestly, I didn't plan it. I just felt like he deserved that.

So... things are going to be awkward if Nowitzki actually decides not to retire, won't they?

Per a report, Mike Bibby is out as coach at a HS basketball team after a sexual assault allegation.

On a side note, he looks like a weird meathead.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The Knicks sure picked a weird time to start doing this tanking thing wrong.

Some of their random young dudes are starting to play better and DSJ has played like a dude happy to be out of Dallas (at a certain point, people may need to acknowledge that Rick Carlisle may not be good at coaching PGs). Also helps that the Spurs are slumping hard and Orlando has probably the weirdest roster in the league.

Their 2nd round pick Mitchell Robinson has been really good. He blocks like 5 shots a game. On reddit I've seen Knicks fans joke that they just like to pretend he was their #8 pick instead of Knox.

Know has been awful. He went 3-16 yesterday and is shooting like 36%

The thing about Knox is that he set expectations way too high with his summer league performance (mostly the media's fault though) and hasn't been able to meet them. I think his efficiency will go back up eventually. Still really like him as a prospect.

Mitchell Robinson's rise has been fun. A good match for a bad-at-defense-but-athletic PG prospect like DSJ too. I actually really like what the Knicks have done with their roster now that Zinger's shadow is gone.

DSJ just barely missed a dunk the other night that was so thunderous, it would have put Bertans in an early grave. I didn't realize he was that much of a high flyer.

We wouldn't know anything about that.

 

[SLAB]

Clippers are thrashing the Jazz early... wtf? I though they traded their best player?

 

[Tetsujin]

Glad we got our games against the Hawks out of the way while they were still bad. They're coming on strong here.

 

[luckytkp]

The Hawks is probably an Shamp away to be good next year.

holy cow....what a shot by Wade. the Miami Legend

:: double-checks halftime score ::

South Beach is (virtually) undefeated.

that explains the Suns ending their 2 month losing streak in South Beach

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh well. Sixty percent of the time, it works, every time...
