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

[playa-hater]

weird schedule by the NBA, so many game last night and only one tonight.

As far as Bey goes. He may not be a stud because he scored fifty, but even against a bad team like Orlando, getting 50 is no joke. They are all NBA players. Every NBA player goes against Orlando. only a few get 50. Good for him.

I brought up Seddiq Bey's name NUMBEROUS times during the draft, and all I heard was his shot is too flat, will get blocked too much. Folks here was so happy when we picked Nesmith over Bey. (You all know who you are) What are you thinking now?

I remember your posts. I had just joined. we both agreed many times about Wings for Boston. I do remember you liking Bey. You should remember I led the draft posts at that time and I loved S Bey and had him as my first choice, followed by Nesmith, D Bane and Precious.

I liked Bey, Haliburton and Okongwu in that draft.

I knew we didn't have a chance at Hali or Okongwu, but really thought Bey was going to be the steal of the draft at 14. when he was still available when we were on the clock. I was like " OK, cool, this is a no brainer". Man, I have to admit, I was pissed. Still am, really. Bit I still am holding out hopes for Nesmith. Just think he is in his sophomore slump like G. Will was last year.

IMO Scoring 50 in the 80s was harder

As I said before, 50 is the new 30.

Really thought Haliburton was going to fall to us at 14, then Sacramento suddenly swooped in and snagged him under our noses at 12, only to trade him later.

Hope Nesmith pans out too.

I loved Hali, but really never considered him to fall, and he didn't.. but was so close.

Cs have the 6th best offense and 2nd best defense in March, so far.

Can't even beat the bad teams...

Not sure if the Spurs have any interest in doing so, but looking ahead in the schedule San Antonio has a lot more easy games than the Lakers to make the play-in instead.

I knew their win against the Raptors last night was a fluke. Westbrick's game-tying three felt like something that happens once in a blue moon, especially since he hit the side of the backboard in his game-tying attempt before that

Massive increase in foul calls from beginning of the season to now...

Read on Twitter

IMO the refs need a refresher course on what's a foul. But also offensive players have likely gotten better at drawing fouls under the new rules, and defensive players are likely increasing their level of contact to push the envelope on the new rules. In any case I hope they dial it back because the reffing at the start of the year was dope.

Poku with one of the strangest lines of the year tonight:

32 minutes, 3-20 FG, 1-10 from 3pt, 0 FTs, 7 PTs, 7 REB, 5 ASST, 2 STL, 2 BLK, 5 TOs… +17!! in a 5 point loss to Orlando.

The ending of this Mavs - Wolves game is hilarious.

IT signed for rest of season by Hornets. Team is 7-2 with him and he’s averaging 10 ppg . Happy to see.

It's an ideal situation for him. Not much pressure there since they're not contending. Just go out and play his game. Not a fully rebuilding team either that he'll block any young guys in his position. They're a ball-moving team which he was used to under Stevens. Plus they already don't play defense there hehe.

Never would've guessed this. It's mainly a team of role players outside of Ja.

A great fitting team can dominate the regular season. Ja will show his worth when game is on the line
