Edit: Ok so it looks like this is related to a heart issue, so that’s not funny, that really sucks

This is one of the most weird seasons ever.

Yeah I think Denver still has a punchers chance. The key will be to find a way not to get murdered when Monte Morris isn't at the point. I think MPJ and to a lesser extent Barton can fill in Murray's scoring.

I'd say the most likely west outcome is Denver Lakers round 1 in the 4/5 matchup and it Denver was ever going to beat the Lakers round 1 is probably the best shot while AD and LeBron could still be rusty.

Yeah, Denver still has some insane shooting and length.

The ABA is the last great mystery, for bball fans. On one hand, you had prime Dr J, young Moses Malone, David Thompson, etc doing things no one had seen on a basketball court. On the other hand, none of it was televised and attendance was modest. So it still wasn’t really seen. Its like outlaw basketball meets bigfoot. All with 70’s style and street aesthetics. There are photos of Larry Brown in fur coats, there were leisure suits, there were games played where visiting teams never had their uniforms arrive, there were nickel beer nights gone horribly wrong, once the all star mvp won a horse as a prize and it promptly died from neglect... The ABA was the last wonderfully weird and underexposed moment in pro basketball.

Sounds like Division 1 basketball in Serbia.

I have been to Serbia, it is a wonderful frontier of giant, drunk, large humans who seem to do whatever they want. One of my great regrets in life, was I did not get to see a basketball game while there.

Oddly enough, in all my travels, the Philippines is the most basketball crazed place I have ever been and its not particularly close.

i watched many games when i was there ,i remember Crvena zvezda(Avdija father and Boban Jankovic)) against Cibona( Petrovic brothers)
it was great.

Damn that Aldridge news came out of nowhere. Wish him all the best.

Denver can take solace in the fact that there all in move was really just a way to dump that terrible Gary Harris contract. He'll make $22 million next year, and he's a minimum salary caliber player.

Gary Harris and Donte are about the same level.

I'd take Donte, though.

The SGs that are 7th and 70th in RPM are about the same level? I guess there's only a zero separating them.

I've always wondered how the league decides which team to screw when the Lakers and Celtics play each other? If I ever have the opportunity to ask Adam Silver a question, I would probably go with that one.

I don't even know what that means. That's not an invitation to explain it. Sometimes I like being baffled. That's why I watch Christopher Nolan movies.

Clearly +/- is the stat that we should be judging all players on, so I present Delly's -16 in 13 minutes tonight.

Come back to the NBL, bro.

Geez he's also 13.3% from 3 this season...

Not sure where to put this, but the latest hoop collective pod is incredible lol. Windhorst is so **** stupid sometimes it’s unbelievable. It gets heeeeaaated, Bontemps and McMahon absolutely roast him for his trash MVP takes. I’m pretty sure at one point Bontemps calls Windy a jackass lol

Spidad looks like he hurt himself bad. Basketball has kinda sucked lately.

Hopefully just a sprained ankle for Mitchell.
