Bucks lost to the Blazers.

That's why you can't be too excited in December.

If you're excited because it's Christmas then that's totally fine.

But if you're excited because your Knicks are great then that's just a reminder that the Knicks have not won a championship in 5 decades.

And it looks like SAS vs Denver is going to be another nail-biter, back to back.

I am going to watch the final quarter of Grizz v Dubs too.

Great night around the Association !

Holiday wasn't ball-dominant but Giannis is essentially a point forward. Murray can play offball but Jokic initiates their offense. And so on. I don't think you can give the ball just yet to Wemby and make him decide what to do with it. White is nice as a complementary piece for us since JT is our "PG." Spurs still need that guy. But you're right, doesn't need to be ball-dominant but they need a table-setter preferably someone who draws extra attention.

well, my post was more making fun of SAS and Pop than disagreeing with you.

Ironically, they had to trade White to be bad enough to get Wemby. I think the Spurs may have made the right call.

True Dat!

Ant said "Screw it!" tonight He tried to tell y'all he done with that passing BS. 31 shots 6 TPs just 2 assists while Minny gets their backs blown out by Detroit.

Low key, I think we might've broke him the other night.

So Knicks, Heat, and Bucks all LOST? Only way to complete this 24-hour bliss is for the Cs to win in OKC.

Suns and Wolves lost too but they haven't pissed me off enough to care.

I’m sure some will say the Knicks played a great first half though :lol:

Jok is just so good…

Next time Wem

23 rebounds for Wemby but not even 1 on offense?? You would think he is trying to do put back dunks. Meanwhile Joker with a season low 6 rebounds??

They won three quarters so that must count for something, no?

Looks like the Joker ain’t joking around tonight. Joke around and find out !

Wemby's awesome but someone needs to remind him that he's actually 7'5. Keeps bringing the ball down and getting himself ripped.

Cp3 and champenny were terrible. Wemby couldn’t shoot. Denver was tired of wemby love when jok is still the best. :lol:

Big flaw. He will fix it though.

Once Jokic decides to just tend to his horses, Wemby automatically becomes the best big in the NBA. Title his to lose for next dozen or so years.

Not even sure why Ja has been out so long. + Smart, Yet they still compete with anyone.

ConstableGeneva · Post #159 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun Jan 5, 2025 3:44 am

Kawhi return has so little hype. I do want him to be his dominant self again (just not against us). Enough injuries.

Ant is having the same problem that JT had against GSW in the finals of 2022.

The double-teaming is bothering Ant.

And because Ant is not really tall, he's not going to have those post moves that our Jays have.
