2018 Around the NBA - October

Wow Cameron Payne is still in the league ? Color me surprised !

 

To be fair, they say Portland doesn't/wouldn't give up Collins.

 

I would bet money that if you asked Dame if he wanted to trade Zach for Gasol he would say hell no! Zach is sooo good for Dame on both sides of the court.

 

This happened over an hour ago but when I was watching the Knicks/Warriors game, boogey cousins was ejected from the game. He said one thing and was booted, fyi he was behind the bench in street clothes. I still think he is a man child. Afterwards they brought up the warriors have the most techs as a team. You think a team that has won as much as them would act more civil, instead they are becoming more villain like.

 

And we'd owe Gasol $50 million over two years. We get screwed talent wise and financially. WFT, how stupid do you have to be to even dream up such a shitty trade?

And he can't even legally buy a beer yet. He will keep getting better, unlike Gasol who is old, broken and overpaid.

Don't these morons understand, with GSW starting 5 all stars, we aren't in win now. We want to surround Dame with young talent that will get better as the Warriors age. We want to be on the way up when they are on the way down. Players like Nurk, Collins, and hopefully Simons and/or Trent Jr. will extend Dame's window. Trading any of them for 34-year old Marc Gasol slams that window closed. And we already have a guy 10 years younger who makes less than half as much as our starting center.

Wonder if Thibs gets fired tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

What a complete collapse by the Nets in the final minute against N.O

 

The Nets found more ways to let N.O win than I have ever seen in 60 seconds Bad passes, offensive fouls, technicals........absolute melt down.

 

1. Nets are stupid. Coulda won the game by just holding the ball but the dumbass D'Angelo Russell decides to throw a no look pass to avoid getting fouled giving the ball back to NO.



2. Refs are idiots



3. I miss Ed

 

Pelicans get advantage of some very iffy reffing to win a game? Haven't seen that one in a few months.

 

More dumb Nets than reffing. All BK had to do was hold the ball.

 

Russell literally threw the game away. They’d kept the ball on that posession for so long without getting fouled then he had to ruin it by throwing it out of bounds. “Ice in my veins” my ass

 

Actual facts do not help my "NO is the darling of the NBA and are getting way to much respect from the refs" narrative.

 

Lol at HOU giving up 85 points to LAC's bench and losing by 20. They gave away their two best defenders and can't stop anyone. With Harden out they don't even have the fire power to outscore the Clippers who were 25th in the league in scoring going into tonight's game.

I love that OKC and HOU are a combined 1-8.

 

Really starting to wonder how gettable Otto Porter Jr. will be. He hasn't looked to good so he may be a good buy low candidate, especially with Oubre looking great. With 3 years left for OPJ, I wonder if a package of Harkless, Meyers, and 2nds would have a chance.

 

I was thinking about that tonight also; he only played 20 minutes. I would give them that package but two firsts instead of seconds.

 

Just curious why do we want OPJ? He shoots .234 from three....Harkless is better than that at least.

Edit: Guess that percentage was for this season so far LOL. Career 40% shooter...okay I could get with that.
