Clippers will be fine. Not sure they’ll get the one seed but it won’t matter.

Noticed that Kawhi decided to play the Rockets last night, but load manage versus the Pelicans tonight in the second game. Yet he avoids Giannis last week.

Who in their right mind would want to play against Giannis? He's a **** tornado in sneakers.

Marcus Smart puts his hand up

Suns ball movement is really nice

Jabari was supposed to switch there and didn't. That play is all him.

Their player movement is also really nice
A very underrated skill and one that got Tyler Johnson paid even though he doesn't really bring much else to the table. A guard that keeps moving and cutting non stop not only is exhausting for the defense but is actually creating for everybody else without even touching the ball. One of the reasons why Spo's Heat were never a bad team even those years that they were all out of top talent.

Tyler Johnson is crazy overpaid but does a lot of little things well, smart and tough player.

The suns do move both players and the ball well this season. Cam Johnson moves off the ball as well as any rookie I remember, that along with his perfect form reminds me of korver. People hated on that pick and I get it because he's old but he looks like a pretty good player.

However, you don't need tiebreakers if you win more games than the other teams.

Think Jabari has found a niche in the league, like him or not he is a very gifted scoring threat. Can see him as a good 6th man in the right situation. I think he would have feasted in a Bud offense, but it doesn't hurt that he has Trae Young passing him the ball. Either way I'm happy that he has been successful so far this season

I'm curious to see what they do with Jabari once Collins is back, I don't think you can deny him minutes on a young and rebuilding squad like that. Maybe we will see Collins at 5 and Jabari at the 4, I know they've wanted to see Collins more at the 5

I would've gladly welcomed Jabari back. He needed some humbling and seasoning, but he is still a rotational NBA player that can score with the best of them.

Jabari’s role was always 6th man, provided he even showed a modicum of effort on the defensive end of the floor. That press conference in Chicago was all we ever needed to know about him.

Ron Swanson · Post #1815 » by **Ron Swanson** » Fri Nov 15, 2019 3:10 pm

Nah, happy for Jabari but it was just never meant to be after the 2nd ACL tear. It was time for both sides to move on. 6th man is his ideal role going forward but he was capable of so much more before the injuries. Hoping he can carve out a long career in the league regardless.

H2tObes · Post #1816 » by **H2tObes** » Fri Nov 15, 2019 3:13 pm

The point about him looking good in a Bud offense is hypothetical more than anything, it made no sense to sign him at the time. He will probably never be a Buck again, definitely didn't leave on the highest of notes. Still impressive the kind of offensive player he is after 2 ACL tears. Oh what could have been, he had a nice dunk against Portland the other day that reminded me how great of an athlete he is/was

Hopefully the Rockets and Pacers go about 3 or 4 overtimes tonight. I am cold blooded...lol.

Not from the NBA but pretty funny.I am going to be using "F*ck you Gigi Datome" all the time now.

I love Obradovic but this is the reason he will never coach in the NBA.

Watching Mike Conley on NBA Countdown, I don't know how you couldn't like him. All around class act.

John Hammond sure got a lot of national love last season, often being mentioned by name for being the assistant to the guy presiding over a barely better than mediocre Orlando Magic team. Things are unsurprisingly radio silent with the wheels already coming off in early November. Feels familiar.

EDIT: The Magic made a big comeback, but the point still stands. Don’t imagine they’ll be much front office questioning if they linger 5 games under .500.
