2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

[Mainstreet]

Hawks win on Trae Young shot with a second left.

I think the NBA needs to bring back the continuation since the calls of whether the player is in the shooting motion seem so inconsistent. Also the way it's called now takes away from some beautiful plays.

agreed. I hope they make the change.

after we beat LeBron.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Memphis has 19 points in 15 minutes of play. Pathetic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grizzlies after being down by 13 lead Jazz at halftime 49-43.

I remember when the Suns almost traded for Dillon Brooks.

I'm not sure how I feel. It's gone too far the other direction but don't forget that it was ridiculously out of control the other way before the change. They could write a book in between contact and the shot and some refs would call it continuation. I don't want it back the way it used to be any more than I like it the way it is right now, it would be nice if they could land somewhere in the middle.

I remember those days too. There should be a compromise definition.

Dillon Brooks for the Grizzlies is putting on a show. He is now known for his defense but I thought he was mainly an offensive player when he came in the league.

 

[Mainstreet]

In 2020 draft related trades the Grizzlies acquired Desmond Bane and Xavier Tillman.

I'd say that was a pretty good draft since they only had one second round pick (40) heading into the draft.

Nailbiting time for Jazz fans right now...

Grizzlies have come to play especially Dillon Brooks.

I talked a little about him when the trade that became Oubre went down. He won't wow you with stats but the guy is a difference maker and comes up big in big moments. He'll hit clutch shots, make the big steal, chase down a loose ball or hit the open man - whatever the moment requires. And still, after the game is over, people will look at his box score and assume he's just another role player. If you can keep him healthy he's the kind of player that every coach wishes he had on his roster.

They don't get Valanciunas the basket? That was a +1.

Agree with everything. I was thrilled to get Brooks before the Suns got Oubre.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grizzlies can get inside with Gobert fouled out.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Bogdanovic is Ginobili-like

 

[Mainstreet]

Jazz can't keep Morant from getting to the rim.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Morant on a rampage.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bogdanovic is Ginobili-like

He has been clutch tonight.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Morant on a rampage.

Can you imagine if we had him on this team. Dynasty

 

[GatorAZ]

It’s got to be hard for any non-Oregon P12 fans to root for Dillon Brooks but he’s a hard sob.

How do guys like Ja and Lillard not get major conference offers?

 

[Mainstreet]

Grizzlies beat Jazz in series opener.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Grizzlies beat Jazz in series opener.

Odd things in that game. JJJ was -19 while Desmond Bane was +23 off the bench. Now thats a swing.

Jazz still without Donovan of course.

 

[Proximo]

I liked the results of all the west playoff series, all my preferred teams won.

The west feels REALLY wide open.

 

[elindholm]

The Suns were the only higher seed in the West to win Game 1.
