lol @ this broadcast constantly pointing out that Curry is 16 3s away from the all-time lead. as though they're just begging him to try it

lag∞n, Thursday, 9 December 2021 03:28 (two years ago) link

wow he really is playing like he's gunning for it tonight, he bricked 4 3s in the first 5 minutes

frogbs, Thursday, 9 December 2021 03:30 (two years ago) link

ohh I see they've got 5 straight games on the road. lol he's gonna go for it

frogbs, Thursday, 9 December 2021 03:41 (two years ago) link

He’s been playing weird since this record got in reach. Needs to get past it so he can move on.

Spottie, Thursday, 9 December 2021 07:53 (two years ago) link

speaking of the Athletic, I think one thing ppl don't appreciate about Trae is that he's a really good dude

The Athletic's Hawks' reporter called a fan 'broke' for not wanting to pay to read his article.

lmao trae. usually it's the players calling ppl broke, real role reversal

J0rdan S., Thursday, 9 December 2021 17:18 (two years ago) link

love it

pacers need to ditch brogdon and sabonis. they're the same sort of player in that they both soak up a lot of posessions but are very limited in what they can make out of them. sabonis can't shoot at all or score on anyone bigger than him when it counts, and brogdon can't pass to the roll man (pretty important thing to be able to do if you are going to insist on being the "point guard").

per zach lowe "Indiana has some weird, minor allergy to hitting their big men rolling to the rim; they average only three plays per 100 possessions on which someone screens, rolls, and shoots -- 22nd overall."

this compilation is typical https://streamable.com/jpa006

turner needs to play with a solid pnr ball handler to bring out his best and he hasnt had that since darren collison in 18-19. he's right to be pissed about levert and brogdon being given licence to chuck up all sorts of shit while the team is going nowhere

micah, Thursday, 9 December 2021 20:38 (two years ago) link

All true. Tough to know where to begin w/ the direction the roster should move. Their Top 5 is just a mess of borderline All-Stars with no glaring weaknesses (Sabonis' defense was probably the worst, but he's looked much closer to average this year), and they're all on decent contracts.

Curious if they end up moving LeVert. I think the outside hope was that he'd continue to develop into a crunch-time scorer, since that's one thing Brogdon/Sabonis/Turner demonstrably cannot do. He's off to such a slow start this year, but I wonder how much patience they'll have with his recovery.

Haaaate to say it, but I kind of want them to keep the team together through this year! I think the rotations will improve, and idk I just wanna see if, by the end of the year, all of these dudes are actually able to share the court at the same time. Honestly mostly bummed that McConnell is out for a long stretch; it's been nice to see Oshae getting more minutes, as well as Martin looking like a perfectly fine 2nd team scorer.

Or they can blow it up, and that would be fun too!

Having your team be trash is a blessing and a curse

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 06:51 (two years ago) link

ESPN reporting with @ZachLowe_NBA: Philadelphia's trade conversations on Ben Simmons gathering momentum in recent days. More teams engaged, more two and three-way deal structure talks ongoing as 76ers try to land a Top 25 player for Simmons.

lets do this baby

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:30 (two years ago) link

hell yeah brother

Much of the renewed impetus surrounds Wednesday, when 84 percent of the league's 446 players become eligible to be traded. Right now, 65 percent are eligible to be moved. https://t.co/f2nYMp353z

its time

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:34 (two years ago) link

please stop calling us

The Portland Trail Blazers have made to clear to the 76ers that All-NBA guard Damian Lillard is not available to be discussed in trade talks and franchise has no interest in moving him, sources tell ESPN.

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:36 (two years ago) link

CJ tho

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:37 (two years ago) link

true

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:38 (two years ago) link

cj is still the guy can they do better than cj + asset(s) i think probably not

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:43 (two years ago) link

and we know the blazers would do the trade via trying to make dame happy

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link

both teams get better i dont see any reason not to do it

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:46 (two years ago) link

theres some incentive for the sixers to drag it out until the deadline in case they can do better but they should just do it get on with their lives

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:49 (two years ago) link

well CJ having a collapsed lung currently would be one reason why not

J0rdan S., Friday, 10 December 2021 21:52 (two years ago) link

"While far less frequent in the NBA, there are several examples. During the 2008-09 season forward Gerald Wallace fractured his fifth rib which resulted in a collapsed lung. The injury was significant and required a chest tube to drain the air from around Wallace’s injured left lung. Houston big man Terrence Jones also suffered the combination of rib and lung injuries during the 2014-15 season. Neither player missed a considerable amount of time as Wallace was sidelined for seven games and Jones was back in six."

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:54 (two years ago) link

hes got two lungs

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 21:59 (two years ago) link

i was reading about the type of collapsed lung cj has and tbh i think “collapsed lung” makes it sound worse than it is.

call all destroyer, Friday, 10 December 2021 22:01 (two years ago) link

yeah he'll be fine. prob a made up injury to protect him from injury in prep for this trade tbqh.

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 22:02 (two years ago) link

pdx just announced their interim gm, who hinted that roster changes will be aggressively sought. I'm thinking cj will be packing his bags as soon as an acceptable deal can be struck, whether for simmons or some other deal.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Friday, 10 December 2021 22:15 (two years ago) link

i don't know why the sixers would just up and do that trade now. does it even make them better?

J0rdan S., Friday, 10 December 2021 22:16 (two years ago) link

yes

Spottie, Friday, 10 December 2021 22:18 (two years ago) link

i mean theyre getting a good player who fills a desperate need for a guy who isnt playing

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 22:18 (two years ago) link

but i also think theres a good chance theyll hold out... unless embiid is putting pressure on them to make a deal

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 22:19 (two years ago) link

does it even make them better?

Woj hinted at a multi-team deal, so who knows who ends up where.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Friday, 10 December 2021 22:22 (two years ago) link

i'm not sure they have a desperate need for a shooting guard

J0rdan S., Friday, 10 December 2021 22:23 (two years ago) link

oh i didnt realize they had shooting guards sorry

lag∞n, Friday, 10 December 2021 22:24 (two years ago) link
