Sunday 12/1 NBA Game Thread

Somebody investigate Lebron please.

That was a blatant tank attempt in the 4Q..Dude played like he was trying to get someone fired.

[EmpireFalls]

One of the funniest endings you’ll ever see. Most blatant tanking ever. Hardy is a complete dumbass

[Catchall]

Jazz tank is elite.

This is all I can think of when I read ppl asking why Keyonte George is getting all that usage and Will Hardy is calling a bad TO.

Danny Ainge ain't f#%king around folks

Ainge has been trying to tank for three years, but the Jazz kept on winning games. He's not messing around with that nonsense this year, not with Flagg there for the taking. The mormons are gonna love him.

They're also looking at the kid at BYU as a backup plan.

[Mk0]

Will Hardy is an idiot.

Will Hardy is tanking.

Let's see how apologetic he is in the presser. If he treats it as no big deal, it's definitely a tank move.

The man could break down weeping in the presser and I wouldn't buy it. Hardy knows the deal.

[thelead]

If I'm Sexton/Kessler, I'm asking my reps to get me out of this place. I get it for the tank, but c'mon man. If Markannen is cool with this ish, so be it, but I'm not.

I'm a pro-tank guy but you can't have competent non-rookie contract players on the roster if you're going to actively tank.

Sexton and Lauri should be asking out.

[Doranku]

It's nice that Kidd and Billups are good friends. They can bond over being two of the worst coaches in the league.

[Mk0]

Clippers look fully healthy again.

The Jazz will move Sexton, Collins and Clarkson if they can find deals for them.

No. Give him more credit than that.

I just refuse to believe that I could see the play developing for Sexton better than Will Hardy, NBA head coach of Collin Sexton could see the play developing for Sexton.

Fraudangeleas Lakers lucky that Col Sexton has the hoops IQ of a turnip.

Play In team status again confirmed

Were down 4 out of our main 8-9 guys with Reaves, Dlo, Vando, Wood

If this pathetic FO does something, then we shoudlnt be a play in team

Only Reaves is a significant loss imo although granted the Lakers are much better at perimeter defending when Vando is healthy, but he is always injured.

Getting a back up C for AD is a must, he is absolutely gassed/got nothing left in the tank by the time the fourth quarter comes around.

Pelinka as you imply, should have sorted these problems out in the off season.

It's easy to tank with Markkanen on the roster. He'll just get "injured" and miss the final two months.

With Ainge at the helm...

My dude is going through some things.

It's such a "my dad can beat up your dad" argument.

How much of the world have you seen?

Plenty, you? Probably next to none.

[BigGargamel]

Denver needs a shake up. This group has gotten stale. The only problem is if you trade Murray or MPJ you're getting worse players in return, because no one is going to build a team around either of those guys, especially at the price tag. If they had that second star they could trade a guy for two or three depth pieces and be okay. But the top end talent level is already too low to subtract even more.

No DLO is pretty significant as well. He runs the offense well and put players in good positions. He's been huge for DK. That 37 explosion by Knecht last time against Jazz was DLO finding him multiple times. He's played really well as of late as the 6th man.

But yeah we need a backup C in the worst way. Also getting a two way guard would be great.

Kidd is a great coach, he helped the Mavericks reach the finals last year.

[Wolfgang630]

Denver just isn’t a contender. Idc where Jokic drags them. They’re not good enough to win. They’re so damn inconsistent
