It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

carmelo is a fucking traffic cone man. really stroking it lately on offense tho

wait this white guy on the bulls isn't kirk hinrich?

the lakers getting another human being who can play center is still big for them even if he is ancient.

yeah agreed

I am getting kicked off of league pass a lot on my roku

that happens to me at least once a night with the same setup. at least getting back in doesn't take all that long.

also at least so far this season (fingers crossed) i'm getting fewer random rebuffering delays

steph reportedly gonna be at moda tonight to watch his brother play

dante cunningham proving to be a v important role player signing this season. once he was slotted into the starting lineup at PF (with LA moving to the 5 and pau and poeltl getting less minutes), he's stabilized the defense. he's been shooting BAD but tonight he's been gooooood.

what's going on w/poeltl? i thought he'd be playing more.

pop probably realized that he cant play many lineups with 2 traditional bigs, so having 3 centers is not super necessary. you see dante and rudy and bertans playing the 4 a lot more with LA or Pau at the 5. pau is still pretty slow in his lateral movement, but he's still a great passer and outside shooter and is tall. i think pau might be gone after this year, so i think poeltl will step into a backup C role to LA once pau is retired or elsewhere.

Lmao kev otm re Hinrich

xp tyvm for local insight

i remember thinking "not really sure i get this" when the blazers drafted zach collins but happy to be wrong, he can do some stuff.

Mason Plumlee has apparently made a three pointer? This would make him 1-25 for his career

How bad was the Donovan Mitchell injury?

have i mentioned that zach collins is very probably Good

oh lol i miss that cad expressed similar sentiments just above and yes i agree, he's a "does a lot of little things" guy and plays some pretty rad defense a lot of the time

mitchells injury looks like a standard ankle sprain to me

feels like cj has regressed some this year, idk, his per 36 numbers are pretty much in line w/ the last couple years but that 40% fg number ain't lookin too great

very good defense.

maybe i'm misremembering but i think he was presented as a PF at the draft, thankfully everyone now would agree that he's a center

nate and danny on dunc'd on had some insane stat about cj's finishing numbers at the rim, i can't recall it but looking now on bref he's at 25% inside 3 feet and 33% 3-10 feet which is just not acceptable, this is the gdamn nba.

lol sadly that sounds about right from what i've seen this year, he's def not getting any separation on his drives

he's taking 15+ shots to average 17 pts which is not what you want

well, the nuggets are 8-1 and I am elated

eh I’ll take 16 straight vs the lakers before tonight or whatever the heck it was

yall i got trae fever

24-15-6 tonight

I was a massive trae doubter and am extremely happy to be wrong about him

Trae seems good. Interested to see how much improvement Collins has done once he comes back too

Love this type of shot when it hits the back of the rim and drops through without moving the net

Victor Oladipo ICE for the win.

yah not even a hand up cmon kyrie

"I mean, it's great to win, period," James said when asked about winning amid the drama surrounding Walton. "Listen, coaching staff put us in a position to win, and it's up to us to go up and execute.

"Luke can care less about what's going on outside. We could as well. I'm the last person to ask about scrutiny or anything of that nature. So none of that stuff matters to me. The only thing that matters to me is what goes on inside this locker room, both home and away."

thing of that nature

bron mixing it up a little, nice

According to Joe Vardon of The Athletic, the general feeling within the Cavaliers organization is that Collin Sexton doesn't know "how to play."

when you let your contending team fall apart for a lottery pick and use that pick on someone who doesn't know how to play basketball >>>>>

the forgot to ask him if he know about basketball

but also have they considered teaching him how to play

They're letting JR teach him

anthony mason made an allstar team while playing for the heat apparently

He seems like a nice guy. Glad he gets to hang with the Odd Squad this year. I just made that up. The Odd Squad. It's because the Lakers are a weird team.

The Old Squad
