[NBA] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (NOV)

Morrow is absolutely scorching hot. Scores in a variety of ways from perimeter. His starting salary at $3.2 million is probably more, than Kings had available at that point, plus Kings would have to pay more than Thunder...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Former King Ronnie Price was just ejected during the lakers/Pelicans game, after a Flagrant-2 on Austin Rivers.

I know this will never happen, but I'd love to see Doc Rivers send Matt Barnes out to give Ronnie Price a receipt during the next lakers/Clippers game.

Indiana about to win in Miami, not sure how...anyway; can someone explain to me why they are playing the Houston/Minnesota game in Mexico city and it's not even the preseason...

 

[Gilles]

Blazers are simply abusing Denver. I think, Shaw might get canned today, if it's close to -40 (-25 with 4 min to play in the second quarter).

I thought it was in Mexico City?

 

[LoungeLizard]

Blazers just put up 84 pts in the first half IN Denver. Ouch.

 

[VF21]

Well in Kobe's defense he is pretty high up the all-time scoring list. You don't get there as a guard without taking (and missing) a lot of shots. And as far as the current Lakers team goes ... who else would you expect the shots go to? Wesley Johnson?

I thought I'd actually look it up to see how they compare.

NOTE: Only 87 players in NBA history have taken more than the number of shots that Kobe has missed: 13,418.

Sorry about the formatting above. It looked great until I hit the post button.

 

[206Fan]

Wow, Denver is terrible... look out Philly, the Nuggets are looking to take the #1 pick from you. It's sad though. They're not even trying to intentionally lose like the 76ers. I thought they could be a solid team this year, but it looks far from it even in limited sample size.

I know this will never happen, but I'd love to see Doc Rivers send Matt Barnes out to give Ronnie Price a receipt during the next lakers/Clippers game.

Is it a bad sign that I had to spend a good minute trying to figure out why Doc had anything to do with Ronnie Price?

 

[KingMilz]

Evan Fournier who I have been pumping up forever is averaging 17ppg on 51% from the field and 51% from 3 point land , had a 28 point burst against the Knicks 2night, finally getting a chance to play and delivering.

 

[Tetsujin]

The rookie class has been incredibly raw and nigh underwhelming but every night at least one of the rookie players does something to make you see their vast potential.

I just wish that one day our guy will be that guy

 

[kingsboi]

Mavs up 45-10 on Philly...huh?

 

[KingMilz]

Andre Drummond if he keeps his play up might achieve the lowest TS% ever atm he's 41% from the field and 37% from the free throw, I don't believe I have ever seen those numbers from a starting player.

 

[Spike]

If that puts us in a position to buy low, I'll take it.

 

[Gilles]

SVG is forcing him to learn post game and try out moves in game time situations. At this moment they are as pretty as Steven Adams' under the basket plays.

 

[Gilles]

Rockets just stand on defense like figurines, while Sixers run around like crazy trying to somehow put the ball into the basket. They usually succeed on 3rd-4th attempt.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Pelicans with a franchise-record 80 points in the half against Minnesota.

 

[kingsboi]

Cavaliers play no defense...getting absolutely torched by Boston and LeBron's body language is putrid

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, the last time he played Boston in a Cavs uniform didn't turn out well for him, either.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What's up with all the major sites being late on their box updates tonight?

 

[kingsboi]

Trey Burke at the buzzer...second buzzer beater for Utah this season. They are fun to watch. Knicks lose 7 straight...

 

[kingsboi]

in other news the Pelicans win by 48 points...first Dallas with a 50+ point win and now NO...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

More importantly, they set a franchise record with 139 points. Every player who got in the game scored, seven in double-figures

 

[Bricklayer]

Philly threatening to do us a solid vs. Houston. And yes I have started watching WC games with the playoffs in mind for the first time in half a decade.

 

[Bricklayer]

And soon as I post that...Philly is 0-8 for a reason.

Edit: Harden missed the technical. You go superstah.

 

[Bricklayer]

MCW is probably available too.

 

[Gilles]

Pistons pull away in OT vs Thunder. When you miss shots, even refs can't help you. Drummond tried to convert horrible alley-oop passes twice without success.
Damn, Sixers were close.
Hornets are fighting in Phoenix, despite losing MKG. Where's that East pride? East is down 13-24 with 7 of those wins coming against Wolves and Thunder.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Philly threatening to do us a solid vs. Houston. And yes I have started watching WC games with the playoffs in mind for the first time in half a decade.

That's why I'm currently following the CHA/PHX game... Which makes a total of one game when the Suns aren't playing the Kings or Pelicans that I've watched. Which, quite frankly, is one more game than I had intended to pay attention to them, all season.

Go Hornets!

 

[Gilles]

Phoenix missed shots, they made against Kings, Bledsoe tried some tough shots, and Zeller with nice offensive contribution, and Hornets are on the way to the win.
