Nuggets offense has seemed disjointed, like they can’t get Jokic in the right spots. But basically everyone has been good defensively.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 16:29 (four years ago) link

Is Porter jr getting any minutes?

Heez, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 16:58 (four years ago) link

No. Honestly don’t see it happening until there’s an injury. Barton and Craig playing too well.

Jackie Mac with the goods:

Yet Irving's infamous mood swings, confirmed by his ex-teammates, which followed him from Cleveland to Boston to Brooklyn, are the unspoken concern that makes Nets officials queasy. When Irving lapses into these funks, he often shuts down, unwilling to communicate with the coaching staff, front office and, sometimes, even his teammates. Nets team sources say one such episode occurred during Brooklyn's trip to China, leaving everyone scratching their heads as to what precipitated it. There's hope that Durant will be able to coax his friend into a better frame of mind. But when presented with that scenario, KD says he will be hands off.

"I look at Kyrie as somebody who is an artist," Durant says. "You have to leave him alone. You know what he'll bring to the table every night because he cares so much about the game.

There has already been leeway to allow Irving to march to his own drum. The Nets are willing to look past moments like the photo shoot at the Pearl TV Tower in China, when Irving refused to remove his hat and instructed them to photoshop it out. They will focus more on the bigger issue of sharing the ball and maintaining good team chemistry.

Kyrie really walks the eccentric/mentally ill line

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 17:16 (four years ago) link

it helps that he's a generational talent but yeah, i hope he's taking care of himself in the macro sense

DeAndre, sarcastically: "Kyrie’s a bad guy. He’s terrible. He’s moody. I don’t like to be around him. He’s horrible in the locker room. He’s a selfish player. I don’t like his haircut. I wear his shoes only because they’re comfortable and because he makes me. Is that good?"

ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 20:34 (four years ago) link

i had a good experience with buffstreamz dot com the other day

i found bite to be pretty wonky

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 29 October 2019 20:49 (four years ago) link

i bit on a month of league pass and it's great when it works but it's VERY wonky and has booted me out on occasion or just frozen when i try to switch from game to game.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 29 October 2019 21:12 (four years ago) link

Thanks guys. I have league pass but nuggets games are blocked.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 21:18 (four years ago) link

And I would hope it’s sports urge

Rumor: Chris Paul would like to play for Milwaukee Bucks https://t.co/jGe2i4lxbf

Eric Bledsoe and 2 firsts I guess

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 29 October 2019 22:16 (four years ago) link

Chris Paul is bad is the problem

de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Tuesday, 29 October 2019 22:49 (four years ago) link

Might be equal to Bledsoe at this point and bled is cheaper and younger

trae young hurt...

Anthony Davis is a game-time decision with the injury he said he didn’t have

Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 00:52 (four years ago) link

trey young's ankle roll looked like a 6.5 out of 10 on the cringe scale to me but he could barely walk

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 October 2019 00:58 (four years ago) link

extremely stoked for nuggets-mavs

his game is really polished and he plays the way you want a modern guard to play nowadays... and tbh so far i haven't seen the athleticism questions that made him drop in the draft really show up. i think he will prob start to get picked on defensively once teams start really game planning for each other but he plays hard and smart so it makes up for some of the gap in athleticism.

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:32 (four years ago) link

its crazy these days all these super young players just putting up huge scoring number like whatever the fuck

lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:34 (four years ago) link

looking at who the heat are playing and they've really managed to change this team despite limited resources over the past couple years. the ceiling is still clear but it's def good management.

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:35 (four years ago) link

i seriously question the sixers decision to keep tobias over jimmy but that aside the trade seems like a win-win for both teams

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:36 (four years ago) link

ya jimmys better also a theoretically a better fit but he didnt really play that good there, simmons and embiid dominate the ball, the move wldve been to keep jimmy and trade simmons

lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:42 (four years ago) link

i was watching the end of sixers/hawks last night and both tobias and al looked completely anonymous out there. the sixers are really weird.

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:48 (four years ago) link

i don't think they're going to be able to score in the playoffs

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:52 (four years ago) link

sixers def the weirdest built contender in awhile

yeah it's going to be really tough with zero dynamic guys who can both shoot and drive. i think i heard their o-rating so far ranks well into the 20s.

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 01:59 (four years ago) link

i think it's sort underplayed in the general nba cultural sphere that the sixers GM is literally elton brand... im not sure why we're supposed to just assume that he knows what he's doing. there's a chance this offseason looks bad in the light

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 October 2019 02:00 (four years ago) link

sixers are cursed by the process

lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 02:04 (four years ago) link

ive been down on the sixers ever since it became clear they were gonna roll out a team without a star guard or wing

ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 02:05 (four years ago) link

they're still going to be one of the best defensive teams if not the best and they're a trade away from fixing a lot of their issues, but it will need to be a smart, ballsy, creative trade

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 02:06 (four years ago) link

its an odd choice

lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 02:06 (four years ago) link

also oh no @ trae hope its minor
