Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2019-2020, Part 2 – "The Bubble Bunch"

Anyone see PJ Dozier is getting real minutes in Denver? And now maybe he gets a few more minutes after they shipped out Beasley. Hoping he figures out his shot, because the tools everywhere else are so good.

Harden really cares about the right things.

Heat just started a long road trip (6 games) and Jimmy Butler left the game tonight (loss to LAC) with a shoulder injury. Could be a chance for us to get some separation from Miami.

Can you imagine playing with a guy where the expectation is you are tracking his stats at all times so that you don't accidentally hurt his metrics? Sounds like fun!!

Kat must really really like D'Angelo Russel.

Zero chance the Heat make the finals.

Agreed. They may have beat Mil early in the season but it was second game and I think it's kind of meaningless.

Let's see what they look like the next two games against Mil before we even have them making the ECF - longshot imo. They'll bust out in the semis still.

Btw, the Clippers are keeping an open roster spot. Imo, they will sign Collison, too, that's a masterful plan from Jerry.

Kevin Harlan continually gets players wrong on his games due to their skin color.

He is supposed to be the best they have? When Marv is the rest they have, not hard to be the best they have.

What a loser Kevin is, fake yelling.

If you can't tell the difference between Donte DiVincenzo and Pat Connaughton you might need glasses.

One is Delonte West's unknown son, the other looks like Andy Pettitte.

Zion and the Pelicans/Jazz/Hornets trying to get to the playoffs. Good luck for them, get there, help the Memphis pick.

76ers self-destructing as expected.

Took an extra quarter for that to happen.

Horford 4 for 13, Embiid 2 for 15.

Bledsoe 3 for 10 keeping the game close.

Horford was trying to like Greek Fork, he traveled.

Bucks offense runs no plays yet it still works

They are irritatingly perfect and seem to lose like every 2 months now lol.

Philly is in a massive slump though, really hard to watch that team play.

People are so worried about Philly here but we never got to play them without being on a B2B or their home opener until recently. They are SLOW.

To be fair, we have had the advantage this year so far over Miami playing them on the second night of their own B2B's too.

edit: Embiid really don't look like he cares most of the time lately, geez....

Everyone was drooling over Anthony Davis but Giannis is so much better. We should have cap space ready for Giannis. Already rumors that teams like Miami and Toronto are going to go after him in FA. We can’t be caught flat footed. If you can pair Tatum and Brown with Giannis we win multiple titles.

This game tonight with Houston and the Lakers is absolutely fascinating. the 6'5 PJ Tucker now starting as Center against the length of LA. How does this work?

Me watching Houston try to win with no guys over 6’6”

Watch on YouTube

I am watching this HOU/LAL game. I might get sick. This is not basketball. I cannot root for the Lakers and I cannot watch the Rockets. And I have already finished streaming every good show. Time to read a book? Knit? Scrapbook? Help!

bucknersrevenge · Post #138 » by **bucknersrevenge** » Fri Feb 7, 2020 4:32 am

It's absolutely appalling. And yet...I hope Houston wins this. The spacing is just reducing Davis to a spectator on D. He's forced onto the perimeter to stay with his man and they run the offense away from him every time. I can't imagine us doing this but we could run Kemba, Smart, Jaylen, Gordon, Jayson and do the same thing to teams.

Not sure why it's appalling to be honest. It's certainly a lot more watchable than they were prior to this with Harden chucking constantly. It's also ballsy to try and maximise what your team has over the opposition teams. Personally I think it's fascinating to watch as other coaches try and counter.

I'm trying to make sense of this Andre Drummond trade for the Pistons. If that's all you can get, why even bother?
