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

Rockets up 15 with 1:15 remaining and instead of taking your starters out, you keep Harden in and you continue his 30 game streak....stat padding era of basketball at its finest

 

[fnordius]

Yay, Clips lin! We get another round of 8th-9th tie.

This was an interesting stat line. Makes you wonder if good rebounding guards and small forwards will be more valuable than good rebounding bigs soon. (I have to imagine some of these were long boards off threes)

I read somewhere that part of the reason Brook Lopez has such poor rebounding numbers despite being 7' is because he is fantastic at boxing out and letting the other faster players grab the ball to push it up court quickly.

I doubt that's the reason for Adams' lack of rebounding tonight. He's always been a putback machine.

Paul George is on another level this season....he won't win MVP but he deserves to be in the conversation

That's actually an interesting point. Makes sense. With the league shifting to more and more 3pt shots, longer rebounds, etc...

I don't know, should I consider lightening up on Willie then?

No because with Willie he gets opportunities but he sometimes just doesn't pull them down. He tends to have hands of stone even when a rebound practically falls into his lap. Someone mentioned in the game thread that he never has problems catching lobs, but for some reason struggles securing rebounds. I think it's a mental focus issue with him.

With that said his overall rebounding numbers have been a lot better recently, and when the games have been on the line I've seen him pull down boards with authority.

Atlanta is driving me crazy.

 

[burekijogurt]

Luckily LA is not any better.

 

[kingsboi]

Atlanta gets the win....thanks ATL

 

[Mad D]

An allstar team captain is going into the AS weekend with a losing record.

 

[burekijogurt]

They did everything not to win this one but LA was not going to be outdone.
Ok, now Memphis.

 

[kingsboi]

Spurs sneak out of Memphis with the W

 

[burekijogurt]

not to be.

 

[RaY Z]

Always great to see the Lakers lose.

I know it would've been nice for the Spurs to lose, but if we do are part and keep winning, it all won't matter in the end

 

[Kings_of_California]

Anyone notice how competitive the Magic have been? They've defeated some big time teams too. Their roster doesn't look spectacular but they're winning games.

And they picked up Fultz at the deadline. Maybe he can be what everyone thought he could be with the change of scenery ala DeAngelo Russell.

They'll be an interesting team to watch.

Kanter to Portland.

 

[lwc]

Kanter to Portland.

Good get for them

 

[Tetsujin]

No lie, Siakam may be the best player on the Raptors now.

 

[kingsboi]

Porter leaves Washington and four games later nets a career high of 37, 16-20 shooting

 

[kingsboi]

good looking out Minnesota. Okogie didn't shy away from Harden, love seeing that

 

[kingsboi]

I was listening to the Mavs broadcast in their game versus the Heat and it's disgusting how infatuated they get with Luka's stats and how they keep tallying his assists so he can get a triple double or double double. Reminds me of Grant & Jerry when Reke was chasing 20 5 5....had to mute the TV then and now

Yeah. Only caught parts of the game tonight because I'm watching the Kings game but he was grossly inefficient with his possessions tonight.

Warriors with a complete meltdown in 4th quarter vs Blazers.

 

[Joshoua]

I wish Kerr took the NYK job case he wouldn’t been long gone and back on tnt

Very un-Warriors like to score so few points to close out a game. I absolutely hate GSW but I also want to make the playoffs so the Blazers winning in bittersweet.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Hawks just had one of the worst quarters of basketball I've ever seen.

They scored 13 points, went 6/29 (20%) from the floor overall and didn't hit a single three despite shooting 9 of them.

Their starters are 1-16.

Oh, and it's against the Knicks

EDIT: Well the Knicks being the Knicks, they gave up 38 points in Q2 and blew their lead.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Oh and also the Magic are annihilating the Hornets to the tune of 71-36 at HALF lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

Really, the most amazing thing about Magic's tenure as Lakers GM has been his amazing ability to strike out on signing literally anybody that isn't on his last legs in the league or the best player in the league looking to tap into the LA media market.


And tampering, so much tampering.
