OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

I swear to god if it's Clippers vs Nets in the finals, I don't know who to root for.

I hate both those teams....

 

Tell me about it. Simons needs to really impress me next year..

 

Meh, we see veteran ring chasers sign on with the super teams every year.

 

Wow Jazz what a Choke. So many teams in the NBA who could look for some changes. Offseason better be wild

 

Damn. I went to bed with Jazz up big.

 

If Gobert is worth 205 for 5 what is Nurk is worth.
His, Wall, Love & Westbrook hands down are the worst contracts in the NBA. Now thats just my opinion.

 

The Jazz defense gave up back to back 40 pt quarters. (81 points in the 2nd half)
Maybe they should hire Stotts.

 

I feel sad for Jeremy Clarkson. Twitter was all abuzz about his massive second quarter, now nobody will care.

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO NICOLAS BATUM! Got PAID by Charlotte, bided his time, and is now in the WCF! And he's actually leading the Clippers in +/- with +127 (!) over the playoffs.

I KNEW HE WASN'T WASHED UP!!!
Okay, I didn't know, but I'm still happy for him.

ALSO: Check it out!

 

Not sure what you're saying, but isn't the lesson here that maybe Stotts ain't that bad?
Let's see if the Jazz panic and fire Quin Snyder.

THAT SAID: Mad props to Ty Lue. I never rated him as a coach, probably because I never rated him as a player. But he's looking like a lot more than just LeBron's yes man.

Another side note: how long has it been since BOTH coaches in the WCF were black? (And 2 out of 4 remaining in the East. There's just going to be 1 out of 4 coaches in the Conference Finals who is NOT black.)

 

Guru….we got noth’n but opinions here
Although there are a few who believe every word they come up with! LOL

You know what I’m saying; Melo and Kanter must be re-signed imho

 

Didn't they blow a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets also?

 

I cannot actually believe Batum hit that three when they needed it in the fourth. As sson as he let that go i was like" MISS!" but it went in. He always misses that in crunch time.

 

$10-12 M

Centers who can't stretch the floor or defend the perimeter are just not necessary in today's ultra-talented NBA where everyone can make you pay from the outside.

Factor in Nurk's history with injuries, inconsistent play, and struggles finishing around the rim, I'd be hesitant moving forward with a large contract for the big man.

 

Yes, I was being sarcastic at Blazer fans who were hyping Synder as some great defensive coach. Don't get me wrong it was time for Terry to go, but
I am not sure even his teams gave up back to back 40 pt quarters in a playoff game. (Although I don't doubt someone will look it up and prove me wrong)

 

I simply cannot disagree with this.
What i would like to see is Nurk with a different head coach and maybe even add a true Big man coach to help him dominate around the rim. Way too many finger rolls when he should throw it down. Then we started to see the beginning of a three point shot. He needs to continue to improve with that. Look at Jokic for example. He has a spot at the top of the key that he is almost automatic from. Nirk needs that shot.

My overall feeling is i want to see where Nurk is next year. The part of his contract that is guaranteed is 4 million. I feel we should wait for the trade deadline next year and then make a decision.

 

agree...

 

When D'Antoni's our coach, our center will be RoCo.

 

Dame understands.

 

Sly and me been telling ya’ll that the Jazz are a TRASH ASS TEAM!
