I don't believe in curses buuuuuut... The way they got Ewing makes you think the basketball gods are at work...
I am shocked Green didn't get tossed after that. That wasn't was an attempt at a steal with lots of intentional body and the way flagrants are called now that should have been a 2 and him tossed. Then on top of that he gets into with Jefferson and gets a tech for that after the review but then goes on to taunt James by walking towards the Golden state bench and flailing his arms.
76ers are on a roll. Beat Bucks last night to make it 4 wins in the last 5 games (and 6 in the last 8). The losses came to Celtics in Boston (a marginal 4-point loss too) and in Washington when they were resting Embiid. They could be a playoffs material as early as next season (downside for them is they are probably not getting no. 1 picks next year if they carry on playing like this, but with so many point guards in the draft anyway it doesn't matter that much - they could draft a star PG at 5 or 6).
Next season? Why not this one? If people still think we have a shot at making the playoffs and facing someone other than the Warriors, than the Sixers have a shot at making the playoffs this year. They are actually closer to the 7 seed in their conference than we are in ours.
Well, they are 13-26. The 8th seed in East are Bucks with 20-20. Hornets are 20-21 just below them, the a host of clubs like Pacers, Bulls and Wizards who are 21-20 or 21-19. To go above any of them they will have to exceed .500 and it doesn't seem likely that they will go on a 29-14 run now. We are somehow 8th seed despite 18-25 record. Nuggets, Kings and Pelicans are even worse than us although by the end of season I expect at least one of them to pip us to 8th. There's really no fight for 7th or 6th seeds for these teams though, Memphis and Oklahoma are both 25-18 and much better. The only way we could avoid Warriors (35-6) is that Spurs (31-9) surpass them.
Hard to be shocked at this point with all the stuff that cock bite gets away with. Flabbergasted maybe. Fuck Green and Fuck the NBA.
Sidebar, did anyone catch that Dame liked a photo on IG of Melo trade stuff yesterday? Why would Dame like this?
Why would he want to come here? We have a crappy market and an even worse team. Besides, he would not help us at all. Getting Melo would be the kind of desperation move that GMs do to salvage jobs. Neil better not be thinking anything of the sort
how ever that WOULD fall under that "move that doesn't make any sense at all" that @TBpup mentioned hearing about the other day now doesn't it....?
No chance melo would have wanted to be here. Probably would have forced his way to cleveland or the clippers to play with his buds
Knicks get: Meyers, Ezeli, Crabbe, Layman, Connaughton Blazers get: Carmelo Anthony, first round pick Who says no? Knicks get a young seven-footer who can shoot, one of the finest shooting wings in the NBA, a great energy guy, a two-sport star and an expiring contract. Too much? Are we getting ripped off here? I'm new to this trade proposal thing.
