2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

[Finito]

Stix had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists tonight in Pacers loss to the Bucks.

In 17 minutes.

I’m happy for him

i don't really have any idea of where Dragic's game or head is at these days

all i know is that i'm pissed that Payton is still getting playing time
still getting his shot blocked and blowing layups
(he's probably spooked about getting fouled and being embarrased at the free-throw line)
and it's too late in the season for a Holiday experiment

i don't know what Monty was thinking playing both of them at the same time in the 4th against the Clips
we blew an 11 point lead in minutes
seems the games are often getting tight with Paul on the bench in the 4th

the backup pg is our only weak link now
Payne has under-performed this season and it will be a miracle if Paul stays healthy the rest of the way

Jason Kidd did... I don't recall Dragic doing that.

Dragic did too. He said he did not trust the Suns mgmt. he later apologized. He said he said it in order to force a trade.

I think they were talking about "flip us off" in the literal sense.

@Russ Smith should know Jonathan Kuminga will be in the NBA Rising Stars game if he is not already aware.

Greg Oden part 2

Damn. This is a shame. This kid was ridiculous when he was on the court and always hate to see a player as exciting as he was have his career derailed by injuries.

Agreed. Although it looks like a portion of Zion's problem comes from excess weight - every pound adds 4 pounds of pressure on the knees/feet.

Damn. This is a shame. This kid was ridiculous when he was on the court and always hate to see a player as exciting as he was have his career derailed by injuries.

You kinda knew though. That weight and that kind of athleticism would end up in chronic injuries. His weight management problems are not surprising either.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Philly lost by 48? Ouch. Embiid doing his Harden imitation.

Oden meets Oliver Miller. Injuries inflicted by appetite.

Last I heard Zion was pushing 320.

 

[Mainstreet]

In the 3rd quarter, Stix (4-6) has 8 points in the Wizards-Pacers game.

 

[Yuma]

I heard Stix is starting already?

 

[Dback Jon]

I heard Stix is starting already?

He started tonight

 

[Suns_fan69]

Ja Morant 44 points on 11/20 Fgs and 21/25 FTs! That's a lot of free throws. But Portland able to upset Memphis 123-119

 

[Russ Smith]

Warriors decide to amp up the defense and start GP2. 8 points 3 steals 1 block in the first half oh yeah the block was on Jokic, on a hook where he had jokic one on one and got the shot even as Jokic cleaned out with the left hand. Unreal.

Kuminga 12 in the half too.

For several minutes their lineup was Kuminga, Wiggins, Klay, Steph and Payton. Denver actually had Jokic guarding Payton in a one man zone but he got backdoored twice for a dunk and a layup by GP2.

Jokic is so good, Azabuike called him the best passing bigman of all time I'm not sure he's wrong

Anthony Davis had an ankle injury a few minutes ago, looked pretty bad.

Again?

 

[Finito]

AD had to be helped off the court. Came down wrong on his ankle

 

[Finito]

Anthony Davis broken ankle. You can see it flop. That was bad. Certainly season ending.

Saying it’s a bad sprain

 

[Suns_fan69]

If it's only a sprain that's lucky, it looks bad.
