whats the history here. did matt give jordan bad intel about bill simmons moving to boston
― micah, Sunday, 12 December 2021 11:56 (two years ago) link
yep thatās exactly what happened.
in other news, cavs continue kicking ass and taking names.
interrupted by only a DeāAaron jumper. a timeout, and an OB, here is quite-possibly the biggest beatdown sequence of the NBA season by the Cavs.Halftime:Cleveland 81Sacramento 52holy hell that was a rush. https://t.co/vxLURcRCLk pic.twitter.com/OjXX1tfk8T— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) December 12, 2021

damn here i was opening the thread expecting to see celebration over delly getting dunked to hell and i've got ILH g leaguers coming for me dredging up my personal life damn i thought we were all friends

lets all be cool, jordans right this board is for celebrating the many losses of matthew dellavedova

feel like the major question in the east now is whether the cavs can stay in the top 6 and push one of chicago, miami, atlanta, philly, atlanta into the play in. i still feel like the chances are better than not that they're the ones who slip down but i wouldn't bet against them at this point, the mobley/allen combo is really working for them beyond anyone's wildest dreams. i guess so much of it will come down to health

kevin love's celebrations in that clip are really funny given his antics last season. he's suddenly enjoying playing in cleveland!

lol weird

i can see the cavs being an nba hipster fave underdog team by allstar break

Mavs star Luka DonÄiÄ is expected to miss multiple games due to persistent left ankle soreness that has already ruled him out tonight in Oklahoma City, league sources say.A precise timetable is still being determined, sources say, as Dallas enters a Sunday/Monday back-to-back.— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) December 12, 2021

thereās a lot of injury and covid stuff happening right now but both conferences are really competitive at least. itās prob still a step up from the KD warriors/bron cavs era where nothing really mattered
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 12 December 2021 21:57 (two years ago) link
yeah i was gonna say, u can say theres some mediocrity bc so many teams are clustered in the middle, but it feels realistic that 5 or 6 teams might make it out the east and at least 3 out of the west. i think despite the cap spike leading to gs getting durant, the changes to the cap rules have been working to create more parity and the last several years have been evidence of that. 5 different teams have won the last 5 titles, its wild!

sorry, 4 of the last 4, my bad
i def meant all the injury bummers + wave of Covid in the league + a bunch of teams seem to have really bad vibes? (prob distorted because the stinkiest vibes are of course quite close to my personal home), but jordās right, this is an injury-heavy time of year usually as wear and tear creeps in and spring will be less bad!
― Clay, Sunday, 12 December 2021 22:41 (two years ago) link
vibes are rough all over, can def see it in the league, couple big stars are choosing to just not play

from shams
But itās clear 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has his eyes set on a potential trade scenario to ship Simmons out of Philadelphia ā whenever a rival team can meet his asking price. The 76ers are currently asking teams for an All-Star-caliber player and/or multiple first-round draft picks for Simmons, sources said.
what do we mean by multiple here, i mean two is multiple

nuggets get murdered in the first 5 mins of the 4th every game and now that I see the numbers it all makes sense
9. Denver Nuggets (Previously 8th), 13-13, -0.3 net ratingWeekly slate: Loss at Bulls, Win at Pelicans, Loss at Spurs, Win at Spurs1st Q: -0.9 net rating | Ranked 19th2nd Q: +9.5 net rating | Ranked 4th3rd Q: +0.6 net rating | Ranked 15th4th Q: -11.7 net rating | Ranked 30thClutch: +5.2 net rating | Ranked 12th | 9 games (5-4)Takeaway: Itās kind of stunning how bad the Denver Nuggets have been in the fourth quarter. Everything else for them has been pretty reasonable, especially considering the injuries to several key players. Most of their fourth-quarter incompetence has come without Nikola Jokic on the floor. When heās in the game, heās kept them quite competitive. The Nuggets outscore their opponents by 1.5 points per 100 possessions in fourth quarters with Jokic on the floor this season. Thatās about 120 minutes of action in the fourth for Jokic. Hereās the problem: Theyāve played 312 minutes in the fourth this season, and Jokic missed a bunch of games. When heās not on the floor in the fourth, the Nuggets get outscored by 19.9 points per 100 possessions. Itās the difference between them winning some extra games and being the worst fourth-quarter team in the NBA.

The Bulls have 10 players in Covid protocols and league gives them a chance to start getting healthy players back and avoid further possible spread. https://t.co/2OUvXdljbP— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 13, 2021

shams wrote today that landry fields is "trending" towards being promoted to GM of the hawks under schlenk. i had no idea
― J0rdan S., Monday, 13 December 2021 19:51 (two years ago) link
that he even worked in their front office
yeah i saw that too. no clue if that's a good thing or not.
― Heez, Monday, 13 December 2021 19:55 (two years ago) link
I know shit about him but would Myles Turner be a fit on the Wolves? Locally seems like sentiment has shifted from "trade for Simmons" to "trade for Turner"
though at the same time I think sentiment around D-lo is much higher than it's been at any point of his tenure here and he still seems like he'd have to be a part of any serious trade

pairing KAT w/ another center just seems weird on its face to me. and both of them like to hang around the 3 pt line a lot

wait so markieff hasnt played since jokic cheap shotted him? 17 games so far... that's really messed up!

yeah but he's faking it so it's really nbd

jokic has snapped a few times now. we all love him but we need to be honest about him as a dirty player.
― Spottie, Monday, 13 December 2021 22:40 (two years ago) link
oh yeah he's definitely a goon
― ciderpress, Monday, 13 December 2021 23:05 (two years ago) link
jesus, I never saw that foul on Huerter; that's a real motherfucker of a hit
― When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 December 2021 23:26 (two years ago) link
jokic being a goon doesn't make markieff an innocent bystander in that infamous exchange of dirty hits. he was very much the instigator.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Monday, 13 December 2021 23:33 (two years ago) link
huerter foul doesnt even look that bad but then his arm goes the wrong way jokic is a powerful man
― lagān, Monday, 13 December 2021 23:36 (two years ago) link
yeah that was a common foul pretty wild his elbow folded
― Spottie, Monday, 13 December 2021 23:37 (two years ago) link
i think jokic might be kinda strong

the guy was openly sabotaging the team while on the court last year and now he's running around like he's the mascot. how is this allowed

um he helped them get evan mobley i fail to see the problem
― class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 14 December 2021 01:49 (two years ago) link
like him sucking forced them to lose games to get the #3 pick and influenced them to go get jarrett allen, he rescued the franchise imo
