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

Yeah, nobody's beating the Lakers with Lebron playing like this

I didnt get receipts but I said Lebron would be refreshed and have a great year with a vengeance and many said he was washed. Regardless I dont buy that. Clippers didn't get much from some regular contributors meanwhile Bradley had a season high. I think Lakers are gonna be the team to beat but Clips have more in tank. Thats about as good as Lakers are gonna be.

So even if (and presuming) KD and Kyrie had no interest in playing for Kenny A. next year, what did that have to do with this season? They must have really made it uncomfortable for him to supposedly mutually want to bail on the remainder of a year when they aren't playing, but the team is headed for the playoffs.

It almost looks as if they didn't want to risk him getting their teammates into the 2nd round--and want to torpedo the team because they aren't playing, so as to make both their return next year and their forcing him out look better than it might otherwise.

Think the decision to leave now was as much his decision as the teams. Gives him a head start on his next coaching gig, and means he doesn't have to deal with a lame duck situation heading into the off-season - he knows he's gone, and they sure as **** aren't winning the title. Plus, I'd rather chill on a beach somewhere than listen to Kyrie spout nonsense for the next couple months.

Tyus Jones is the kind of backup PG that you guys need. Plays good D, never over dribbles, best assist to turnover ratio in the NBA and his 3pt shooting has improved this year to 38%. He has done a fantastic job this year of playing backup and alongside to Ja out in Memphis.

[Bleeding Green]

I love Tyus Jones, but I would never pay for a backup point guard like that when you can just sign guys to vet-min deals like they've done with Wanamaker or draft the next one with the 53rd pick like it appears they've done with Waters. Tyus Jones makes the full MLE.

Lakers and Celts both losing to the Nets!

Just here to hype Dragan Bender again..

First 0:15 is an ad - and this one became a garbage time game quickly - but Bender is hustling, quick and crisp on his rolls to the rim, and finishing around and through a little contact from smaller players. Some nice passes, and one pass fake while he's going up for a dunk that draws a foul.. Needs another year or two in the weight room, but he's starting to show some of what was envisioned when he was drafted.

I've just about accepted the inevitable with Okafor, but.. it's unreal to me a player with his talent can't get a steady rotation role.. one of the best scoring bigs I've ever seen and he's struggling to hang around the NBA. Did he bed Lebron's mother? Adam Silver's wife?

The last time he got real playing time was in January against Detroit.. 25 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in 34 minutes.. and he's become almost an athlete.. strong, quick off the ground, boxes out and dunks over Drummond.. If he can add a perimeter shot this summer.. his offensive and defensive IQ and focus have been improving.. He's quicker to his moves.. and he can catch the ball on the perimeter and attack all the way to a score even with the defender sagging off him..

They're just a-holes.. Atkinson built a great culture and made chicken salad out of the other stuff.. I think Brooklyn never goes far with Kyrie/KD/DJ and regrets the whole marriage.. The only coach who could fix Irving at this point is Popovich, and even that's no guarantee. Stevens and Atkinson couldn't do it.

Atkinson could be great for the Bulls..

probably Kyrie because he doesn't believe viruses are real.

Anyone have any stats or links to stats and or data that show where Tatums February stats rank him compared to other players that month?.....I told a friend Tatum played like a top 5 player in february was looking for stats that can back that up or at least show me exactly where he ranked.

Thanks in advance.

Scoring 30.7 ppg on 49% shooting, 48% from 3, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals. Overall, I can't see too many players beating that.

Yea. Me either. Unfortunately I’m trying to see where it ranks and who if any beat that- have a few bucks on it so I’m trying to get a definitive list.

Being that he was Player of the Month, I don't think anyone beat that.
He did better than Lebron, in the West.

There's gotta be some place(s) where all the stats are.
You may have to plug in one player at a time though.

Try this one.:

Thanks appreciate it. That’s what I’ve been using now I need to put it on a list bc my friend is a pain in the ass. Great kid- but just thick headed so I need to make it dummy proof for him
