For all the travels the NBA is calling this season (seems like more than before), this whole stars getting away with carries is all the more glaring.

There are now video compilations of Morant doing it so...

LeBron gets fouled twice on that fastbreak, the second being intentional. No call. It's never been more cost effective to hit LeBron.

Simmons getting way with a ton of fouls.

Jamal Murray is about to get a triple double. Clearly Jokic is a product of the system.

Its easier to take leaps when you get reps. I feel like he'd be on a faster trajectory right now if the team hadn't traded for Mitchell and wasn't trying to contend. There arent many possessions left over for him to develop between Mitchell, Garland, Levert, and Love.

No Jokic, but I decided to pick up OKC-SAC at 32-33 (in time to see back to back Dort threes). Hope it's a good one!

That sequence for Denver. Had three steals and three dunks in like a 20 second stretch.

Jamal Murray just recorded his first career triple-double.

BigGargamel · Post #91 » by **BigGargamel** » Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:06 am

I've never seen Denver this hungry on defense. Steals and dunks for days.

This is the best Nuggets team I've ever seen.

The Nuggets are uber talented this season, and Jokic is the perfect connector to take it all to the highest level.

That has to be the worst first half Ja has had this season right?

Nuggets are insane. Won't be surprised if they make it to the Finals, or even win it all.

Colin Cowherd is an idiot, a redundant statement I realise.

Absolutely zero 7 year olds got to see Curry on the road when he was out for 4 weeks, and the same will apply if he is out for another 4 weeks.

Kyrie going bananas.

Kyrie looking like a videogame character out there

Oh, you're serious? If you've ever bought a ticket you would notice that it says one team will play another team. That contract is fulfilled. You would be laughed out of court if you could find an attorney foolish enough to file suit.

I don’t care what the ticket says. It’s like buying a concert ticket to Hootie and the Blowfish and Hootie doesn’t show up. There is always discretion with these games and fine print doesn’t always matter

Klay Thompson, who you may recall missed two and a half seasons after sustaining two of the most devastating injuries which exist for a basketball player in consecutive years, has sat out the second game of back to back games all season. Curry and Wiggins have just come off being out for many weeks with significant injuries. Green has chronic back problems, is playing significant minutes at center at 6’5”, has a game predicated on a huge effort to play above his size, and is now in his mid 30s. And they went to overtime against the team with the best record in the NBA yesterday.

GSW won btw.

I’m not holding any animosity towards the warriors. It’s entirely towards the NBA. So we are on the same side here

What is wrong with Ja Morants dad? He’s like a pageant mom trying to be a celebrity. Is it because he looks like Usher?

Who wins?
