Miami plummeting back down to earth is both hilarious and predictable.

Duncan Robinson's been a disaster for them so far. You hate to see it.

I'm the boards number 1 heat hater, but don't think you can judge them on the last 2 games where Jimmy was hurt on a weird ankle injury. I'm still waiting for the Feb PJ tucker injury and Lowry sputtering in the playoffs

Seeing the clip was only in the 2nd quarter, I checked the box score to see how much he played. Then laughed again as you have to clicked on Herro's TO to get the link since Haslem had zero TOs. Even the NBA was like why man, why?

I mean sure, Jimmy was out last night. But they lost to both LA teams without arguably their best players as well (Lebron & Kawhi). They've been completely healthy otherwise with their other three losses being by an average margin of 15 points. Maybe people can now cool off on the "championship contender" talk and treat them like the 48-50 win 2nd round team that they are.

Not only that, but "Jimmy is injured" is pretty much a given for about 20 games a season. No idea how "really gritty guy who plays hard all the time" turned into "invincible ironman who never misses a game and wills his team to the heights" but it did for him.

Never understood why you'd give Duncan Robinson 5/$90. That just screamed disaster. But hey, it's a rival, so I'll take it.

They have beautiful natural scenery, but their team is definitely one of the more hateable ones in the league besides Mike Conley.

Someone put some respec on Killian Hayes's name. Defensive monster tonight, 5 steals in one half of basketball.

Basically, the Blazers made Snell a birthday cake that's shaped like a blackberry phone, because he one of the few people in the world that still uses a blackberry.

Every team has an alternate home court to go with their jersey nowadays :roll:

I don’t remember it being a thing before the fear the deer courts

This OG is still the best. But yeah Vernon vs. Utah is incredible.

Has there ever been a team that had a winning record against playoff teams but didn't make the playoffs themselves?

Seems like something I could picture the current Timberwolves doing...lol

I thought the Wolves/Lakers score on ESPN was glitchy. It was not.

Milbucks96 · Post #1820 » by **Milbucks96** » Sat Nov 13, 2021 8:54 am

The lakers have been playing bad teams since the season has started, I know they’ve had injuries but the way they’re losing, and even winning is just embarrassing. I really thought this team would be really good even with dealing with Westbrook’s flaws.
