part two of the nba 2020-21 anything but regular season

Steve Kerr (via @DRK957) on Wiseman:

"We just didn't have a sense of how raw he would be because we only had 3 college games of his.

Can we get James up to speed to match the timeline of our 3 core guys? That's a great question and we don't know the answer."

hmmm. i had a sense!

that quote feels like the first stone towards the path of summer trade rumors

yeah

might not be able to wait because if he sucks next year they're really in trouble

maybe don't draft the guy you don't have a much of a sense for, idk maybe i'm crazy

too bad their werent any other guys on the board too bad

Kerr has a handful of wild quotes this year

The timeline of Klay Thompson is in the past so it’s hard for James Wiseman to fit into it

I really hope this Julius randle season is real

prob kind of real

looked like he rolled it pretty bad

MRI on right ankle sprain of Utah Jazz All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell revealed no structural damage, sources tell ESPN. He’s expected to miss several games before he’s cleared to return.

steph-tatum shootout

47 and 44 points respectively

no question that this is a cursed season, but I think there's lots of hoops-watching pleasure yet to be derived from it.

That game was incredible. Needed those bazmore free throws

dray layup wouldve helped too

lol jfc

Draymond Green on Jayson Tatum's big night (plus a commercial promo): "Incredible. Big boy performance. Especially without Jaylen Brown. He stepped up and put them on his back. My sub is still better, though."

Also surprised they overturned that foul call on the curry three

dray you don’t gotta do that man

I do like the Tatum dray subway commercial tho

it did look like he got him on the hand a lil, im thinking maybe what happened was they called the foul on the body contact but when they reviewed it saw that curry kicked his leg out to the side to cause it

i believe that's what they said on the broadcast. the hand contact was the classic "hi-5" that is supposed to be legal

i cant find a clip of the play, which is upsetting as i was under the impression my every whim was supposed to be catered to by the big computer network, but yes i think that is correct

even in the nba.com play by play where they have links to every play it just says Instant Replay4th Period (10:52 PM EST) with no link!

oh there it is

Final ajustat i aquesta jugada. +5 Warriors i falta en el triple de Curry, que podia ser decisiu, i rectifiquen amb coach challenge. Ho exagera, però les dues mans es toquen... pic.twitter.com/oqSZWRa4nI

def got his hand after the shot, close tho!

The hi5 is supposed to be legal?

There’s an epidemic of refs letting shooters get slapped on the wrist this season. Really obvious calls

hi 5 rule https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/legal-play-defender-high-fives-shooters-empty-hand-after-release-no-foul/

made a nu thread fyi 2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

wow I did not know that about the high-five rule

Same. Thought you can’t tap the hand on the follow through...

knicks just hit a 3 to tie w 2 secs left

bam

he was better than kyrie in the final 3 mins of that game basically how it went down

richard jefferson is very annoying on TV

yeah willfully obnoxious and lame isnt a good combo

doesn't even try to provide analysis?

I just hate RJ’s way of speaking. Talks through his teeth zi think

Dudes a blowhard

Dort going nuts again

Honestly when we see Dort shoot well it does remind me of Artest

TIL that Chris Boucher is shooting 38% from 3 this season

kd having a hard time staying on the court

I understand treating him with kid gloves but it does seem like he gets banged up easily now

richard jefferson is so annoying, nba equivalent of dan orlovsky who they also seem to be pushing for mostly being an annoying, combative twerp

yeah if youre gonna stir things up you should at least be cool, funny, smart, a clown, or something like that not a guy who sounds like urkle

I think we clearly have a problem where only the most cringe nba players want to call games
