i had to turn it off. they're playing someone named john butler jr, who has played 22 minutes since since february 6. portland might score under 70 at least they're fully committed to the tank i guess
doesn't seem like he'll be in the nba long even on a tanking roster, he stands out for being very bad
Excited to hear what the potential Mikal Bridges trade package is, given that they turned down an offer of 4 first round picks for him this year
It's times like these you regret going to the well a bit too much of late and feeling like you need to take a break from certain subjects
ignoring my dream of trading for bridges and winning the lottery, why would brooklyn possibly hold onto him for? they're 8-13 since the kd trade, i believe. bridges will be 27 next year; he's not old but he's not particularly young, either, and he has a lot of miles from never missing games and some deep playoff runs. brooklyn's not incentivized to bottom out because they don't have their picks but it also seems foolish to not maximize its assets for a rebuild. i know they turned down a lot of picks this trade deadline but i would think they would re-evaluate their situation this offseason and bridges can be had. besides, portland picks (with 33 y.o. dame and a bad team) are more valuable than memphis' picks with Ja/Bane/JJJ all ~25 or younger.
I wish I could laugh more at that, but I thought the same thing. Interesting "what if?" NBA moment of what happens to Simmons' career if he gets traded to a Houston team that sucked and wouldn't have made the playoffs instead of self combusting in front of the world in the playoffs that year and setting the last two seasons in motion.
Well...yeah 3× NBA All-Star (2019–2021) All-NBA Third Team (2020) 2× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2020, 2021) NBA Rookie of the Year (2018) NBA All-Rookie First Team (2018) NBA steals leader (2020)
Jesus Magic…maybe there’s a reason you don’t usually take a lot of threes. 2 for 14 with 9min left in the 2nd.
I try and watch them whenever I can, they’re definitely a feast or famine type of squad. They hang around late in games quite a lot.
Suggs has a few games where he looks like he is turning the corner and then looks like this, and Houstan is a few years away from being anything useful
Bet Celts ML at halftime as Wizards are amazing at blowing leads but that was an incredibly lazy performance from them
