NBA Thread: Believeland Back

Trying to make 10:30 starts against the LA teams two nights in a row is going to be tough

 

But now that the blazers lost I can watch Franz cook so that’s cool

 

hard to know where the bottom is for philly to still make the playoffs given the ghastliness of the eastern conference

but they seem determined to find it

 

asking as someone who hasn't watched them at all this year, how are they so shitty?

 

Embiid out and apparently lazy, according to Maxey

George, Embiid, and Maxey haven’t played together yet.

 

they did tonight although I guess George left early

still it’s the Eastern Conference and 2 out of those 3 ought to win more than 2 games

 

Fell asleep on the couch before halftime, woke up to go to bed and it was already over. Probably for the best.

 

Embiid lazy
George washed
Maxey great
McCain has been their 2nd best player the last 2 weeks
Lowry old
Oubre lol
Drummond has been pretty good

 

Yabusele cooking!

Spoiler

They're still shitty.

 

I was getting pissed the Grizzlies kept leaving him wide open to nail 3s last night.

 

I need Philly to pick it up a little bit, just a little, because their pick is top 6 protected.

 

if there is one need the OKC Thunder have it’s definitely an extra pick

 

I want the Blue to begin a dynasty the likes of which the G-League has never seen

 

Winning streak time!

 

Embiid has played 4 of 14. Maxey has played 8 of 14. George has played 8 of 14.

They have played together once (last night) and George got hurt in the middle of it. They have had 2 of the 3 in the same game three other times (Embiid and George).

 

This season sucks

 

Hey so Isaiah Hartenstein is really good. 13/14/3 with 4 blocks and team lead in plus minus in his first game

 

Hubie is finally retiring

 

Amazing that he has done this for so long. He was the best broadcast analyst in any sport IMO. Glad he got one ABA Championship as a coach as well.

I am old enough to remember when a bunch of Heat fans who didn't know basketball existed before LeBron went there were convinced Hubie was rooting against the Heat every time he did one of their broadcasts.

Hubie is the GOAT NBA analyst.

 

What are we doing?

 

I remember reading that Hubie had seen every player on the NBA 75th Anniversary Top 75 list in person.

 

Sounds like they will try to let him call one game this season so he can get a send off

 

adam silver you fucking bum

 

I realize they can't just scrap it because of TV contracts and whatnot, but having to constantly change the structure of it in the hopes that anyone will care doesn't make anyone think of it as less of a joke.

 

That sounds more entertaining than the ASG

 

USA vs. The World would be the most entertaining format to me

 

They need like huge stacks of cash involved somehow. Like a player can point to an opposing player and say “10 K” and if he scores he gets to pickup a stack. If he doesn’t the defender gets it.

 

I've posted this before, but just turn it into rock n jock.

 

His wife died in June and his son died 2 weeks ago. He’s lived a full life but that is awful.

 

What does perfection look like?

me:

 

Turned this game on based off the strength of this post…swoon

 

wolves about to lose in toronto for the 20th straight year

especially hapless and pathetic performance tonight

 

Last win was during W’s first term

 

8-8 and scaring the 10 seed 20% of the way in!

 

Suggs has such a bizarre FT routine but goodness can that man play defense

 

he hit three of these in a row on us. he can’t keep getting away with this

 

brutal ft misses at the end there but damn what a shot

 

FRANZ YOU BIG DICK MOTHER FUCKER

 

all star appearance loading for my king

what a shot holy fuuu

 

saw chris paul broke the ringer's top 100 in their most recent update. feel like that guy could play point guard until he's fifty

 

I mean, that's largely based on half of them having to play non-G positions for a bunch of time, right?
