Jesus. Destroyed without Shai even. Shot 60% from 2, 50% from 3.

long gone are those days of the Warriors losing less than 10 games. Now even good teams and eventual champions have at least 25-30 losses in them

Doesn't surprise me. Jesus could hoop.

 

[Jc121]

Say it ain’t so. Did Bagley just hurt his hand and will be out for awhile.

 

[ESP47]

How many hand injuries is this for Bagley?

Kuzma slicing up the Bucks defense. If the Lakers make a trade it should probably be for him. Sign Kyrie in the off-season and you have:

AD
Lebron
Kuzma
Reeves
Kyrie

not that I want that to happen

LA will not be able to afford to retain Reaves. Similar to the Caruso.

But could he hit a curve ball?

Jazz think they were robbed yesterday.

Shows Suns lost to Cavs 90-88. That’s got to be a 3rd quarter score right? Surely, in todays NBA the game didn’t end with neither team breaking 100.

prime Klay making an appearance versus the Pistons

 

[kingsboi]

Bey topped Klay's clutch shot. wild ending. even the Warriors can lose at home to a bottom Eastern squad

 

[Tetsujin]

At least we didn’t lose to the Pistons

Saddiq Bey for the win.

Nuggets up 63-25 on Clippers with 2 minutes left in first half. Lol

 

[Tetsujin]

At least the Kings put up more of a fight than the Clips

 

[kingsboi]

didn't think Lauri had a 49 point game in him

Against the Rockets someone who can score 30 can get 50.

Sources: Mavs are waiving Kemba Walker, whose salary would have become guaranteed Saturday. Two-way G McKinley Wright IV has earned minutes and Mavs also want to leave path for rookie Jaden Hardy to get playing time. Walker had 32-point game for Mavs and was ultimate pro.

Just a reminder good teams can have horrid games or horrid stretches. It's moreso about how quickly they can revert out of it and not let a 5+ game losing streak wreck your season.

 

[kingsboi]

minus Middleton, a healthy Bucks squad at home getting worked by the Hornets while allowing a 51 point first quarter. goes to show you that this season is a free for all.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Sounds like Lebron is playing tonight vs the Hawks. Wonder if that means he’ll sit tomorrow on the 2nd night of a B2B.

this is a thread of waiting for Denver to fix the rim again pic.twitter.com/zn66am065s

Say what you want about Vivek but at least the arena's rims haven't been crooked multiple games in a single season.

 

[Kingz19]

Well, I guess the Hawks lost the mojo that below .500 Eastern Conference teams get when they go to Golden 1 Center and play the Kings…down by nearly 30 to the Lakers in the first half

 

[iowamcnabb]

Domantas Plumlee with 17 15 and 6. Dudes price just went up

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder when the last time Giannis had less than 10 points in a game

 

[LoungeLizard]

Never too early for scoreboard watching. Suns, Blazers, Clippers, Pelicans all lose.

who was the player or players that dunked before the rims were declared crooked?

 

[kingsboi]

do the Clipps really think they can keep Kawhi under game management for the whole regular season and then all of a sudden act as if some type of switch can get turned on to propel them for a deep Playoff run because I'm not seeing it

 

[Tetsujin]

Goes on to mention that there’s some belief that Toronto might not have to totally blow things up in to get in the mix for a high lotto pick

Also mentioned the VanVleet contract situation makes things trickier but that only Trent is described with any regularity as “available”

— Esfandiar Baraheni (@JustEsBaraheni) January 9, 2023

Turns out the real winner of the Norm Powell-Gary Trent trade was absolutely no one.

 

[kingsboi]

add Jalen Brunson to the list of players I didn't think had a 44 point game in him
