OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: NOVEMBER 2023

Looking at the 6:40 PST tip-off of ATL @ ORL I was thinking ……..

Then I saw it’s in Mexico City, Mexico.

 

Both him and Giannis are out. Load management?

 

Apparent calf soreness. Likely load management.

 

DNP-CD

 

My bad, looks like Giannis is playing and has an impressive 48 pts

 

Dame traded to Boston for Jrue

 

Giannis now with 54 on 19-23 shooting

 

and a loss

 

Once again…..they didn’t lose BECAUSE of him!

 

So the NBA expansion is coming? You can bet that Vegas is getting a team. So it probably comes down to Seattle and Mexico City? I want Seattle.

 

Is Skylar Mays’ Capitanes jersey hanging in the rafters above this game? Because it goddamn well should be.

 

54 points means dick if it’s a loss. If he scored 2 and they won that would mean more.

 

People post on here we didn't make the playoffs last couple seasons even though Dame was putting up career numbers.....Well it wasn't HIS fault they didn't. Tonight above somebody posted that even though Giannis had 50 something they list. Well no shit, he had no help. They didn't lose BECAUSE of him is all I'm saying FAMS.

 

I'm damn sure he would have rather have won....should he have not put up 54 points trying to do that?

 

who said they did?

 

It depends doesn't it? Would focusing on defense have helped more? Would spreading the shooting out more have prevented the defense from focusing on him later in the game? If the answer to either is yes, then he should not have gone for 54. If he doesn't trust the other players on the court to do the job, then that's its own problem.

 

I'm happy he did put up huge numbers because it inflated his trade value; there's no way in hell he would need to play that well individually with good players around him. And because he did, defenses could collapse on him and make the rest of the team beat them (which we couldn't most of the time). It wasn't Dame's fault the team sucked, but we might have won a few more games in different ways if he hadn't made himself the overwhelming focus. (Probably not because we sucked the last couple years)

 

It’s hilarious that Sac chose Fox over Haliburton. They are gonna regret that decision for a very long time. Sabonis is a very good player but that team is lacking a superstar and Haliburton is a better player now than Sabonis is. And younger. Total Kangz move.
