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

[VF21]

Very happy to see my double main man have a much-needed good game against his old team.

Off the bench, I presume? How many minutes?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Thirty-six. It was the first time in seven games that he's played at least 30 minutes. The last game, incidentally, was also against Charlotte, although that game was in Boston.

Good to hear. I hope he can find a niche there. Love to watch him play but always with one eye open because he's so fearless.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don't. I don't want to see him fade away on a rebuilding team. Plus, I firmly believe that he's lost his mojo, ever since he's had to change his number. 45 is bad luck, for anybody who wears it.

Pacers and Spurs continue to demolish everyone.

Pacers and Spurs continue to demolish everyone.

The Pacers play the Spurs for the first time on Saturday, Dec. 7. That game is not scheduled to be on national TV. The scheduled games on NBA TV for that evening are Clippers at Cavaliers, and Mavericks at Trailblazers.

If NBA TV does not flex that game onto their schedule, somebody needs to lose their job.


EDIT - It is almost as surprising that the first game between Indiana and Miami is not on national, either. But, then again, that game is going to be on a Tuesday and, looking at the other games scheduled against it, there's virtually no chance that it doesn't win Fan Night.

I bow to your superior knowledge of all things Gerald Wallace.

It’s rather crude, you’d surely submit, but a group of desperate Milwaukee Bucks fans have launched their own crowd-sourced campaign to raise a billboard in Milwaukee to remind the team’s front office of an undeniable NBA truth. To win in the NBA, you usually need a star. And the easiest way to acquire a star is to lose enough to draft one. And the only way to lose enough is to stop blindly clinging to mediocre players in hopes of a lower rung playoff berth.

No, Bucks fans want an entire lower rung season, in order to acquire good enough lottery odds to draft a star. And this is why the (dirty, dirty) minds behind SaveOurBucks.com have set up an IndieGoGo.com page in hopes of raising enough money to launch this billboard in their team’s city:

you can help raise funds here, if you wish.

Can't remember an organization in sports with the length of extended excellence as the Spurs

Packers were good under Lombardi but yes, good point.

Monty Williams has no idea what he's doing with NO. Offense is in shambles. Does not know how to get good looks for either Holiday or Davis and is using Anderson more as a iso post player than a spot up, floor spreader. Half the time the offense appears to end with a Jason Smith jumper. Has no idea how to use Davis' defensive capabilities either. Just no attempt to funnel the ball to the shotblocker.

He's not Smart bad, but he's up there.

I feel for him because he has a very different roster make-up to work with. I think it can be done but they have 3 iso guys (2 of whom don't shoot that well), a stud athlete big, and a stretch 4. The rest of the roster are mostly role player d guys that don't shoot that well (with the exception of Morrow). He just may not be the right guy to figure out how to use the roster. I also think they should move Gordon for a 3 and D sf and big man depth.

Watching sixers/magic and two rookies in oladipo and carter-Williams who have shown so far definitive flashes of being players in this league for their fanbases (I'm looking at you Ben)

Spurs and Blazers' streaks come to an end

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

****ing Pistons, man... up eight over the gd lakers, with four minutes to go in the game, and blew it. They ended up down two, with the ball, with fifteen seconds to go, and this is how they went out:

0:08        104-102    Rodney Stuckey misses 11-foot jumper
0:08        104-102    Pistons offensive team rebound
0:02        104-102    Josh Smith offensive Charge (Nick Young draws the foul)
0:02        104-102    Josh Smith turnover

HOLY ****, RUSSELL WESTBROOK!

There won't be any miracle response from the Warriors on that one!
