OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2024

[SlyPokerDog]

The NBA should use heart-shaped basketballs during February.

 

[Whyachi]

Celtics are 16 point favorites over the Lakers tonight. That's outrageous, LeBron's scrub squad gets no respect.

OT: if you have a chance to draft Bronny James, would you take him? Yes or No?

 

[HailBlazers]

Leap year

i heard there's a better baby James on deck. I'd wait a few years for the 2nd edition of Lebron's family.

Is it me or does Kessler get posterized alot? I know we did it to him twice in 2 minutes once. LOL!

the NBA is uber athletic. Guys get postered every game. It just looks cooler against Kessler because he's massively tall and his mom still cuts his hair.

When someone consistently goes for blocks, this is bound to happen. Sometimes you block em, sometimes they get ya. That goes with the territory.

 

[TYDame]

damn Embiid with torn Meniscus.

Doesn't make it any less funny/gratifying to know we did it twice in a minute!

[Cugel]

That is probably it for PHI. Do you rush him back in time for the post season? A guy with a history of injuries ? Or do you pull the plug?

 

[HailBlazers]

damn Embiid with torn Meniscus.

Brutal.

I don’t think you do anything that would put him in jeopardy. Too much competition in the east this year.

Embiid must be beyond devastated. Had the scoring title in his sights and an MVP caliber season

And the guy has to know that with his knees and size that him playing at this level won't last much longer. Feel for him and I hope he's back playing at that MVP level as soon as is prudent.

 

[Whyachi]

Lakers were kicking butt until i turned the game on TV. If Boston squeeks out a victory, i get the jinx credit.

All they need to know is what happened if you rush him back… answer See Brandon Roy

 

[riverman]

Just saw that ex Blazer Legend Jake the Snake Layman is playing for a Japanese "B" league team this season. You'd think he'd at least make the "A" league over there where he's probably tall enough to play center

Who cuts this guy's hair?

 

[Whyachi]

Who cuts this guy's hair?

Croatians are born with that hair. It's a solid element and never needs to be cut.

 

[Whyachi]

Austin Reeves & Jaxson Hayes are outplaying the 200m dollar super Celtics

 

[Whyachi]

Buddy Hield 3 lousy points on 1-8 shooting. Knicks beat Pacers.

 

[KingSpeed]

So Embiid is out of MVP race then. Jokic and Shai are favorites but Tatum and someone like Brunson have a chance.

Luka, perhaps?

 

[KingSpeed]

Luka, perhaps?

Their record would have to improve but the numbers are there.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I love Sheed

[Cugel]

I think the Clippers take it this year. 4 guys that can take over a game.

Fan Duel has the Celtics as the favorites followed by the Nuggets, Bucks, Clippers, Suns and Sixers. So you're obviously not too far off from what some bookies think.

Oh, if you're really bullish on your prediction you might want to put some money on it because the Clips are paying out at +800. That means you get back 8 dollars on every 1 dollar you bet for those who don't pay attention to this sort of thing.
