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

[Wes-J]

For the casual basketball viewing public, they're much more boring than watching the Pelicans, who have the most exciting rookie since LeBron (on top of other exciting players like Ingram, Ball, Hayes). There is a reason that despite being really good Utah doesn't play on national TV pretty much ever.

Exciting doesn't equal good but ok.

I don't disagree. The fact is that the Pelicans will draw more viewers than the Jazz.

That's not what's in question. I asked you to explain how Utah is boring.

Amazing how much leeway the refs give Giannis on his drives. What they usually call a travel or offensive foul, they just let go and the other team's usually called for the defensive foul. We better have someone ready to back up Theis. He might foul out in the 1st half of a playoff game against the Bucks.

Also, OMG how washed is Horford? He usually takes it easy in the regular season, but he wasn't this bad at any point with us.

Bucks are mopping the floor with Sixers. Sixers are cooked.

Yep, and it happened after Embiid got called for his 4th foul. Horford has done nothing to help the Sixers keep it close. Can no longer stay in front of Giannis. Doesn't post up, doesn't roll to the rim. Just hands off the ball from the perimeter hoping his teammates bail him out. He's been reduced to a spot-up shooter who can't shoot. 32.4% from 3 so far this season, the lowest 3P% he's had since he's been attempting at least one three per game. Physically, he doesn't look right.

He’s missing wide open 3s also....can’t imagine having him on the books at that salary for 3 more years

Horford was 1-7 tonight. Remember when bringing him off the bench would fix things?

In all seriousness, what happened with him? I'm completely baffled as to his decline, because it's like he's aged 10 years in 1. Unless he turns it on in the playoffs, yeesh.

Him and Embiid on the court together has been a train wreck.

He really looks slower Than ever...maybe he gets hot and starts knocking shots down but like u said terrible fit thus far. To get rid of his deal they,k have to attach picks

Highly doubt they'll draw more viewers than the Celtics. Tatum and Walker both sell more jeresys than Zion. Pelicans have drawn fans, and so have Zion, but both you and Espn are discounting the top franchise in the NBA we have here. Pelicans have an enormous amount of ground to make up to be near our level of fans.

Sixers are a joke. I don’t buy the crap that they have a switch to turn on.

The ‘10 Celtics had that switch. Not this mentally weak team.

Does this mean more that Woj said it? He normally wouldn't comment if it wasn't serious. But who knows?

Hope Ben is good.

At first I was flabbergasted, but I am actually not against this since the next Cavs game is actually vs. the Heat again. They need all the help they can get to help the Celtics keep widening their cushion. The whole point is to give the Celtics a boost in the NBA world when it's all said and done.

On a side note, we'd have an even better lead over Miami if they had not won 40 OT games earlier in the season they had no business winning.

We need to teach them all a lesson.

Speaking of lessons that goes for you too Embiid, you big mouth. "Best player in the world".

And the Clippers, it's time to stop dinking around. Don't just go hand the conference to the Lakers or something, get going.

As much as I love Al, he may have just did us a favor by not resigning.

But still all the best to, Al. He was the team's MVP while he was here.

There is some level of concern surrounding the possible nature of the injury, league sources tell ESPN.

Sources described Simmons as emotional upon leaving the X-ray room at the Fiserv Forum late Saturday.

Damn is it a herniated disc or something? Back injuries can be really bad.

Okay if he was emotional that doesn't sound positive at all. I'm on Team Simmons over Team Embiid too btw.

And YESSSSSSSSSSS he too played in the ASG, seems to have banged up a lot of them since they all went hard for Kobe. Speaking of Kobe, he too used to get his knee drained from time to time back in the day. Now so does Kemba, in a fine tribute for Kobe.

Brett Brown seemed more excited that he took Horford off the Celtics than he did actually adding him to the Sixers.

Little Brother Syndrome

If he’s out for a few weeks, looks like we might see Boston vs Philly in first round
