OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: NOVEMBER 2023

The bucks still look like a work in progress on both sides of the court

 

Good for that dude! Feathery touch pays off

I love it

 

That’s awesome but he ain’t going home with $10,000 like she said.

—Uncle Sam. More like $6700.

 

Isn't it closer to 50% taxes? I swear they absolutely pillage any bonuses I have gotten in the past.

 

$6700 more than he came with. Maybe Milwaukee’s local government isn’t as corrupt as Portlands and it goes to good use.

 

Doubt.

 

Yeah I just don’t like “he’s going home with…!” when he isn’t. Like with AGT and they ask then what would they do with a million dollars when it’s really only $25K annuity for 40 years.

 

Suns fans whining about Nurkic (and Eubanks)… surprise surprise

 

The Pelicans looked horrible in the 2nd half of tonight’s game in New Orleans against the Hawks.
They were outscored 70-45 over the 3rd and 4th quarters and didn’t seems to have a plan on either end of the court.
Like many of their games, there doesn’t seem to be “the man” (or men) to give the ball to when they need some points.
Zion Williamson isn’t 100%. Don’t know if that’s permanent.

 

he might not be...yet

but with his mass and all those accumulated leg injuries, there is quite possibly a loss in athleticism and endurance

 

...he looks like it from the videos I've seen so far, yikes! Zioff.

 

Said it years ago. Body is not built for this. He will be out of the league in three more years.

 

List of the heaviest players in the NBA. Many have had some major injuries but surprisingly many are still playing.
1 Jusuf Nurkic Portland Trail Blazers 131.5 290
2 Nikola Jokic Denver Nuggets 128.8 284
3 Zion Williamson New Orleans Pelicans 128.8 284
4 Brook Lopez Milwaukee Bucks 127.9 282
5 Robin Lopez Cleveland Cavaliers 127.5 281
6 Joel Embiid Philadelphia 76ers 127.0 280
7 Andre Drummond Chicago Bulls 126.6 279
8 Omer Yurtseven Miami Heat 124.7 275
Kenneth Lofton Jr. Memphis Grizzlies 124.7 275
10 Udoka Azubuike Utah Jazz 122.5 270
Vernon Carey Washinton Wizards 122.5 270
Wendell Carter Jr. Orlando Magic 122.5 270
JaVale McGee Dallas Mavericks 122.5 270

Obviously that list is a little old. Still has Nurk on Portland and Jokic at 284 which we know he went down last year to about 260-270.

 

The conference shift is complete my lord, the true power resides in the East.

 

The Suns have really fucked up. They let Bridges, the Cams, Chris Paul, and Ayton go for what?? Nurk and ancient KD? They are not a contender even when healthy. They had a great mix of youth and vets and pissed it away.
