2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

[Phrazbit]

This Laker team plays really really stupid basketball.

Tied game, Hornet ball with 2 seconds to go, Lakers are lucky it is even that, should have been a loose ball foul.

 

[sdscard4]

Lol Lakers were up 14 just minutes ago bout to go into OT unless Hornets win it
Runs happen

Westbrook with another triple-double. They showed a stat saying he is currently 138-47 in games in which he scored a triple-double. Man, that's a lot of triple-doubles. Most by any player and still adding more. This game going to OT.

 

[Phrazbit]

The Lakers would have won if not for a sequence of 3 straight techs in phenomenally stupid fashion, and really, they're lucky it was only 3, on the last one I thought Westbrook was going to get straight tossed out.

On offense I am not even sure if the Lakers run plays, they seem to just run up and shoot a 3 quickly, and if that look isn't there they then end up dribbling down to the very last second and whoever is stuck with the ball has to jack it up.

 

[sdscard4]

They all stand around watching crazy ass Westbrook going what the hell is he doing...granted a triple double machine but still horrible. Can't stand him

They need to keep feeding Melo.

Davis is about to injure himself you can just see it coming

Wonder how many games that will get him?

And Morris is a terrible actor. The getting up and going back down and writhing in pain. Gimme a break.

Seems less belligerent than what Beverley did at the end of our series last year... and he only got a game. My guess is that Jokic gets 3, because the NBA makes no sense.

It looked like Morris got Jokic with the elbow. That should be considered.

What did Beverley get for shoving Chris Paul from behind and it wasn't even in game action?

I wanted to stay up for the Lakers and Hornets. I knew they were closing the gap but I didn’t think it would go into OT.

 

[Mainstreet]

At least Markieff Morris was assessed a flagrant 2 foul on the play where Jokic was ejected.

 

[Mainstreet]

I would think Markieff Morris would be in the hospital the way he laid on the floor after that push by Jokic.

At least Jokic apologized.

I have to admit. I took some joy in watching Markieff get blasted after that dirty elbow.

Markieff was hardly the innocent bystander. It did feel good to see him not get away with a cheap shot.

Jokic shouldn't be suspended for more than one game like that Beverley shove in the back on Paul.

Social media pretty much sided with Jokic, i'm with everyone on that. Good to know that the country sees the Morri as nba-thugs.

What was funny were the comments by the Jokic bros.

MPJ probably done for year. Looks like the lower back again, probably the same area that he had surgery on.

Wow. Can’t say I’m surprised. That many back surgeries at that young of age = likely major back problems forever.

Taken in context with the reasons why Ayton should get a max contract (MPJ got one!), this is prophetic by James Jones.

He and his brother have always been punks especially when they were both here jumping an older guy for "badmouthing" their mom. Finally someone exposed one of them as a fake tough guy although Jokic ain't no small dude. Markieff should be ashamed of how weak he looked especially after his elbow cheap shot didn't phase Jokic one bit.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Butler is talking trash about Jokic's unwarranted cheap shot and Spoelstra is angry that Markieff got hit and ejected for a "take" foul.

 

[Yuma]

That's why in 60's and 70's no one messed around with big guys. Players were afraid the bigs would hit back. I think Jokic sent a message he's not going to just take cheap shots. Older players that are retired now, have talked about waiting to get revenge. Sometimes a couple games later.

Exactly why a bad contract should not set the market.

I saw that. Maybe they should watch the video.

The incident didn't happen in a vacuum. They should look at the left arm and shoulder of Markieff Morris as he runs over and collides with Jokic.
