Around the NBA (and other Sports) 2021-22, Part 3

Wow, that's Crazy.

The two players are obviously in trouble. And this is at least the 2nd time Porter has fought and thrown something in the locker room. Houston got him for nothing after he went off in the Cavs lockeroom a while back.

But it sounds like the Rockets will be in trouble too because Wood missed his test but they still let him play.

Re wood.

Dont know all the details of the covid test miss so not going to speak on that. Butbhe was a model citizen in detroit.

Makes me question coaching in houston more because even though kpj has issues, wood doesnt seem thr type.

I'm not sure about Wood but I think he may have some red flags too honestly. He's talented but has a hard time sticking anywhere.

The number of teams he's bounced around to in his 7 year career is crazy.

Went undrafted after being projected as a late first round pick (work ethic and maturity)

TBF, he was horrible with us from an on-court perspective. I didn't hear of a thing off the court about him from his time with us, but he just showed nothing on court, and hadn't up to that stage in his career.

He really only took off after his stint with us.

Wacky box score in Lakers/Wolves.

Wolves got 2/3 of all the rebounds in the game (56-28) and still lost.

Reasons included TOs and FT attempts. Lakers had a 23-15 advantage in TOs despite Westbrook having 9 by himself. (Edwards had 8 for Minny.

Only one affected game for Cs. Jan 29 game @ NOLA moved an hour earlier.

Here are new dates and times for the games that were postponed:

I haven't watched any of these games, but bucks lost to the pistons and Bulls beat the same Orlando team that we went to OT with LAST NIGHT by 4! Two of the worst teams in the league, when y'all were talking about our win yesterday (dismissive).

Oh, those teams are still bad but just maybe, things aren't always as simple to do as it is to say it. This is the nba, every team has talent.

[jmr07019]

Bulls in first, Cavs and Wiz are playoff teams, Celts and Raps are fighting in the play in, Hawks and Knicks miss the playoffs entirely. The standings are crazy right now.

[zoyathedestroya]

Fun back-and-forth between two really good young teams. MEM vs CLE tied with 36 secs left.

[bisme37]

Kyrie debuting tonight in Indy. Should be interesting.

And Dirk gets his jersey retired in Dallas tonight.

[zoyathedestroya]

Heat and Warriors are masters at turning no-name guys and minimum signings into more than serviceable rotation players. Strus and Yurtseven both putting up numbers while Heat were getting hit by injuries/covid.

What a mistake it was to give Bane away. Major facepalm

[bisme37]

Bol Bol traded to the Pistons for Rodney McGruder. I guess Denver decided the Bol experiment wasn't working and he wasn't worth the headache. He's been complaining about his lack of minutes and acting like a baby according to Nuggets fans.

Sound like McGruder will be waived and the Nuggets will sign DeMarcus Cousins, which is pretty weird imo.

[playa-hater]

So my hate for Ime should be well documented by now.. Looking last night, Miami started Max Struss and Rookie Yurtseven with career backup C Martin.. No Butler. But they had D Robinson and Tyler Herro.. but decided to have those Proven veterans to come off the bench.. They beat a full Phoenix squad on the rd..

Think about that.. they don't have both their Allstars Bam and Butler.. and put Herro and Duncan Robinson on the bench.. and gave full trust in career backups as starters and a Rookie 2nd rd pick..

Exact opposite of Boston.. Giving and Building confidence with the young lesser players.

Imagine that. Winning AND developing their young players at the same time..

Tacko has evidently been waived from the Cavs. If I'm reading correctly, he was on a two-way, having already been waived from a non-guaranteed regular contract at some point earlier.
