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

like denzel valentine, portis is aight, wendell carter already been traded, tony snell is still in the league at least, just....wooof

i don't remember anyone just killing the white, carter, or markkanen picks but drafting 7th is tough.

norris cole getting drafted by the bulls and traded multiple times two picks before jimmy butler is a fun footnote.

Awesome win for the nuggets. Cancar needs to start planning for Europe.

more like cantcar

markkanen was just horrible development. you can tell he has talent. the five guys drafted immediately after him were frank ntilikina, dennis smith jr, zach collins, malik monk, luke kennard so i don't think you can really kill the pick. (obv donovan mitchell and bam go right after those two but still). they just handed him over to fred hoiberg and jim boylen and now here we are.

wendell carter jr was a mistake from the jump, the idea that he would fit or develop next to markkanen never made sense. they went "best player available" and got bitten. white was prob just a bad evaluation.

really bad ownership there trickling down to bad management to bad coaching to betting the next three seasons on zach lavine and vucevic

hard to remember anyone making embiid look like a fool on defense the way steph did a few times tonight

steph is impossible

btw lil bastard cp3 is averaging 9.4 assists and 1.3 turnovers for april, on a cool little run of his own

Sixers have the wrong Curry, lol. Gotta be a little tough for Seth having the greatest shooter of all time for a brother. Otoh, maybe he gets a break because of the last name.

the shots he was hitting against the celtics were just ridic. one particular 4-point play i think he hoiked up like a hook shot.

just an update on my kids' nicknames for people

Juan Toscano-Anderson is "Tonkatsu"
Draymond is "Mr Dumpy"

it’s not bad for an old guy!

steph for mvp movement starts now

thanks for that Tracer

they also call him Mr Chungus but that really goes without saying

sorry Big Chungus lol

they call me MISTER chungus

my niece loves draymond but she is a teen and so has lost the childs pure sight

Tracer I think we need your kids to nickname the whole nba please

she reacts poorly to being told draymond is a clown, much like when i broke it to her that billie eilish is canceled, smh so immature

they’re workin on it, believe me

I will post back here as new information comes in

xpost

excellent

partic interested in what yr kids call jokic

draymond is the best your niece is therefore also the best

billie eilish is canceled?

sorry kevin

nets have nine players tonight.

is their core going to be able to play together more than even a handful of games before the playoffs?

honestly why even roll durant out before the offs if they're gonna hold him out this much

they brought him back and he immediately got reinjured

i guess you ultimately end up with conditioning worries since he's barely been on the court since, what, february?

same with harden. that hammy thing may be nag him for a while. altho i think hes had this before.

i'm sure they're looking at the week off after the regular season and then a first round match up vs an overwhelmed opponent as the time when they'll get everything ironed out. if they can get the 1 seed they might not be challenged much in the second round either. there's going to come a time either in the east finals or the second round if they're in the 2-3 where it's the end of the game and they have a bunch of dudes standing around watching one of their guys try and win the game 1 on 1... we'll see if it works

yeah its important for the health of the league and indeed the nation that brooklyn doesnt get the 1 seed

right on cue

James Harden suffered a setback with hamstring, Nets says.

Harden underwent an MRI, and will be out indefinitely, team says. https://t.co/HIBOKFDwUz

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) April 20, 2021

The Nets have played seven games with Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the court together this season. It's becoming clear that they won't get to play more than a few more -- if any -- before the playoffs start.

yeesh

next should consider shutting it down for the season, and forever

yikes

Kawhi Leonard is OUT tonight vs. Blazers. He will be reevaluated next week after dealing with right foot soreness

— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) April 20, 2021

playing two seasons in the past year maybe be starting to add up

fred van vleet otm

Yeah, this Steph run is fun, but it would suck for him to get hurt chasing a play-in round pipe dream. Can't believe that tweak in the Boston game wasn't worse!

It is wild how many problems the pelicans have defensively

There’s no reason for Ingram to be this bad on defense

DeAndre Jordan has his highest block % in 5 years and is shooting 78% from the field. Seems good!
