GAME #39: NETS (14-26) @ LAC (21-17) —WED 1/15 7:30 PM 

Post#1 » by esqtvd » Wed Jan 15, 2025 5:34 am

Nets on a road B2B after a nice wire-to-wire win over the Blazers
they still suck though

Ben Simmons still the biggest headcase in the NBA--5 points, 11 rebs, 9 assists
he'd be a nice Rodman-type super-role player [let Ben be Ben] if he didn't make so much money

at least there are no Clippers on this list [Wall doesn't really count]

    ALL-OVERPAID TEAM [career]

    1. Ben Simmons: $446,791 per game

    2. Joel Embiid: $437,598 per game

    3. Zion Williamson: $425,415 per game

    4. John Wall: $404,358 per game

    5. Kristaps Porzingis: $371,645 per game

    6. Lonzo Ball: $365,382 per game

    7. Markelle Fultz: $351,004 per game

    8. Jonathan Isaac: $343,430 per game

    9. Bradley Beal: $338,229 per game

    10. Anthony Davis: $337,062 per game


    Simmons leading this list isn't a surprise, having made over $163.5 million in his career while having played 366 NBA games since being drafted in 2016. His former Philadelphia 76ers teammate Joel Embiid is close behind, having made $215.2 million since being drafted in 2014 but playing just 492 games.

Nets are always in games and rarely blown out. We need this win though

We are basically playing a G-League team tonight. Bunch of guys I have never even heard of. Kawhi looked good. Need DJJ and Dunn to start hitting some 3s.

Interesting that Brian Siemen mentioned KPJ will not play tonight, but T-Mann will. Apparently it's for one of those Ty Lue lineup experiments.

Kawhi looks more confident this game. They should continue to just ease him back at his own pace. Especially against a depleted tanking team. Team looks good. I like that Mann got the nod this game to get him some burn.

Maybe a back to back decision?

Ty didn't say. I think it was a message of some sort though. But hell, he could start in Kawhi's place in Portland for all we know. Ty moveth in mysterious ways.

Brian Sieman mentioned during the telecast that Lue is trying some things. It’s why Mann got a DNP game before last and KPJ tonight. Who knows what he’s going to try next.
