Hahaha it’s all good, you’re gonna get posterized if you are try to contest shots and get blocks. I’d rather that happen than a player who cares about being on the bad end of a poster and avoids it. Jazz still won that game so there’s also thatQuote:

As a Pacers fan living in Celtics world that was fun to watch, they're not on TV around here too often. If Indy could play legit defense every night they'd be dangerous
I'm glad you enjoyed that. I didn't.Quote:

Blaze are going to be a force coming soon in the future. Hopefully, Chauncey will get them to buy in completely.
I wouldn’t put too much stock into the blazers having a close game with a team that’s currently ranked 11th in the west and would miss the play ins if they started today. I’m still holding the dubs stock because I believe in Steph, but it’s not looking good for them this season and likely the coming seasons. Hopefully, klay and wiggins can turn around their slow starts, but more likely the era of small ball has come to an end in the nba as more talented big men emerge.
IMO blazers will be hampered by some large salaries like Anyton and Grants once their talented rookies see their rookie contracts elapse.
Pacers on the other hand… I’m buying that Halliburton stock. That’s a young team that could be dangerous if they start playing defense. Hope they beat the lakers to win the in season tourney but lebrons doing lebron things, and he looks determined to win the tourney. Should be a good final!
I don't disagree but starting rebuilding mode with two sub 25 y/os who average ~20ppg--one of which is a pretty nasty defender--is a pretty good place to start. They'll trade Grant at some point, and obviously Brogdon. Retaining both Sharpe and Ant will be difficult but it's a great problem to have.Quote:

Rebuilding is often code for hopeless and fortunately that's not the case. But boy do we suck right now...

I think the Blazers have a pretty good future.
I think Ayton will go somewhere as well. He'd be good on the Lakers but they have nothing to give us. He might be good on the Dubs too, but I don't mind him sticking around. For the Dubs they'd have to trade Clay for him. Time lord was a bummer but injuries happen. Grant will get jettisoned at some point. I was also trying to think of a trade with the Dubs that would make some sense for Grant and it seems like it too would need to involve Clay.Quote:

Sitting on the baseline and just saw Powell fall on Kyrie up close. That did not look good. Kyrie grimaced while shooting some free throws and then limped to the locker room. Fuck.
Luka doing Luka things.

I haven’t watched a lot of basketball this season…. But what’s the court side view? Making me dizzy. Is that something they do a lot now??

I don’t like the close-up courtside view, but I do like that view that is higher up and you can see the whole court a lot better. It really makes you feel like you’re there.
Fuck the Lakers.
Feels like they realized an early tournament "championship" was about the most they can achieve with those old bodies. Wheels gonna start falling off pretty quick after over-performing. I can respect the strategy, at least a little: done't have the legs for a whole season, so blow it all early, claim co-championship for the season while finishing 15 games out for the real play-offs. It's almost conspiracy worthy.
I wanted to see the pacers win the in season tourney but I’m also a fan of lebron so I was happy to see him win it and add to his legacy. Crazy to see how productive he is this late in his career
HmmmmmmQuote:

I’ve checked out on this thread because of so many absurd takes from people who don’t really watch games, but don’t worry, I won’t be defending Draymond on this one. WTF dude?
Dude is just a jackass liability at this point, straight up. GS should cut him.

Kick him out of the league....talk about ruining whatever legacy you had. He's not even playing basketball at this point. Mentally unstable.
Oh I was expecting you to deflect from Draymond and do the “what about” game on some other player who is definitely not nearly as dirty.Quote:

GS has some real problems, and Draymond is just one of them. But you gotta wonder how much his distraction is causing the issues with Klay and Wiggy. In the meantime they need to just cut Draymond and let him fill out his inevitable 30 on 30 episode.
They can't cut him, they just signed him to a long and expensive extension.
Dude is a psychopath, they need to do something.
These incidents are my favorite part of this thread by a mile.Quote:

Cavs looked good. Coming off a late flight in didn’t help them at the end of the game. One of the more entertaining games I’ve watched this year. Look forward to the next one.
I'll waltz out my 10 game prediction again. Logic says it has to be more than five this go round.
The real story is Wiggins and Klay! got benched last night for the final possession down 3. Kerr then threw serious shade postgame to twist the knife. Wild.
What's the pistons deal....coaching?? Thought they had a nice young squad.
I bet they are stoked that they just signed him to a $100 million/4-year deal. At least they're saving some money with all the suspensions, technicals and ejections this year.Quote:

I am thinking 5, but given past performance 10 is not out of line at all. But hey what do I know, Tahoe J is the only one who watches basketball around here.Quote:

On the one hand, 10 seems like the right number, given his past. But Dray will argue that this play was accidental and it's hard to prove it's not. It's nothing like choking out Rudy. Another random player would likely get no games for an incident like this, whereas I think ANY player would at least have gotten a game for the Rudy incident. So while 10 was my initial thought, I am now thinking 5, unless slow mo video of the hand shows a clenched fist (I haven't seen good enough video to say about that).
