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

Mike Conley is probably the worst trade in the last 3-4 seasons.
He gets injured and Utah goes 11-1. He gets back and Utah lose 2 out of 3 games.
Really odd. I thought he would be a great fit for them.

Brogdon/Oladipo/Warren/Sabonis/Turner.
With Lamb as 6th man.
Pacers are great on paper now that Vic is back.
Not a team i would want to play in the playoffs.

Ja Morant was a +42 last night. That is crazy. Next time NY and Memphis play is going to be real interesting.

I felt terrible for Kyrie last night.

Salary cap going down. Anybody smarter than me know what that means for us in the coming years? Probably a bad break on the timing of Jaylen's deal, but might save us some on Tatum's?

Jae scored 18 points of 4-6 shooting. A real man would have scored 17 points on 5-17 shooting.

You have to give Morris a little slack. Different teams have different cultures. Most teams think that it is good to get possession of the ball and to then make a basket. That way you will have more points than the other team at the end of the game. This helps accomplish a goal popularly referred to as "winning." The Knicks for the last twenty or so years have taken a different view and have had different goals.

Hopefully no playoff team makes the mistake of trying to acquire Morris. He's a headcase, and deserves to stay in NYC.

It went down a million bucks. Basically no different.

Good talk.

How in hell is Middleton having a 50/40/90 season?
Just read this.
I used to dislike the guy. I was under the impression that he gets benefit from playing alongside Giannis and he would be one of the reasons the Bucks will not win, because he won't perform when they double antetokounmpo.
But numbers can't lie that much i guess. Maybe it's time for me to eat some crow.....still that contract is beyond overpayment.

Middleton always crushes us, usually against good defense.

Also, Kyrie went Super Saiyan tonight, 19/23 while breaking 50. When dude's locked in he's amazing. Just wasn't in the cards here.

Bucks might lose their 7th game tonight. IT CAN HAPPEN! Go Nuggs. Up 13 w/ 7 mins. left w/o Millsap, Murray, and Harris.

EDIT: 9-point lead w/ over 3 mins to play. All 9 guys who played for Nuggets are in double figures. Must be a record of some sort.

Nuggets Beat the Bucks. They had nine players score in double figures, including old friend PJ Dozier who had 10 points in 18 minutes, along with 3 boards, 4 assists, a steal and a block. Nice to see a former Celtic do well. Kid has talent.

I still want the Lakers to lose and I hope all other teams and players dont lay down to them because no way Kobe would want that! Kobe played to win! There is going to be a lot of energy from a lot of people around the world in support of Lakers winning it all and that's going some massive energy to get through to beat them. I probably won't be as upset as I would have been before this tragedy if they were to win it all but I'll be there cheering for their loss all the way! RIP Kobe!!

You guys lucky I don't have access to the resources Grande, Lipe, Elias, Schuhmann, etc. have. Otherwise, you'd be flooded with more nonsense trivia haha.
