February Discussion Thread

Also Durant's new target date to play is being reported as next Wednesday, ticket prices for tomorrow night crashed
 
Looks like teams have played anywhere from 56-61 games out of the 82 for the season so they're around 75% done. Getting pretty close to do or die time.

That’s deeper in than the norm isn’t it? I know it never really been the true half way point but always felt like 60-40 ish off top my head.
 
This a go you think? Wanna play a bit today

I havnt thought much bout sense. Little worried lakers defense looks different than previous with the changes and I assume getting some practices together? You have a opinion on what Russell is as a on ball defender? I don’t think he great but he certainly athletic enough to be at least solid if he buys in that him and the other pickups gotta give extra on the defensive end to let bron Rome a bit and take breathers on that end. Just a bit a guessing game how they gonna look? I’m gonna start looking at stuff right now, wanna get to casino by 2-2:30 so give me hour or so and I’ll give yoj best answer I can or what im playing anyways.
 
Poole up to 26.5 points. Still lean that way but think I have a few that feel stronger.

Love the way Brown looked in asg, I think packers a great team to attack with guards as they don’t defend them well. Brown ov 25.5 feels really solid to me.

Sounds like tre Jones still doubtful tonight? Long as he out I love the Brahman kid over these 13.5 point totals. Once Jones is in I’ll have to back off and see but think worth risk to hope he doesn’t play w doubtful tag, if you can afford to wait by all means wait and hit Brahman points if he sits, pass if he plays.

My guy Giddey is my p+r+a favorite. I don’t think jazz guards gonna put up much resistance to him and better yet think they take a lot of shots he will be in on the rebounds, yet his number back down to 30.5, long as he didn’t party all week this a good one, he might be worth a trip dub look, assist be the one I’d worry bout, depending if his young teammates ready to play.

That bout what I have for tonight

Branham + Giddey :)
 
Branham + Giddey :)

Yes sir. Pounded Branham w news almost for sure Jones out (we just gotta keep eye on that cause the kid looked different the one game Jones played). This should be a perfect game for him, luka and kyrie not playing d, gonna be all kinda of points but they not yanking the 19 year old early, he should get his minutes regardless!!

Giddey par and I even sprinkled 20 on his trip dub at 15-1!!

Russ been around..never the greatest defender to me. I like his game(minority I know)…Clips good fit, I don’t know their roster up and down…I might play this with ya just need to be pushed a bit
 
I’m heading over there in a bit…action plays so I wanna spread some around

No opinion on Pels yet…kinda wanna play Canada here, just not sure

I stayed off Poole. Check my thread bro. Too much unknown for me w lakers
 
Corey Brewer is on staff and our kids play ball together. Great dude by the way. He says it’s legit injury…but man, these guys live hurt
 
Oey, wish I hadn't missed this...




I heard on sone podcast they were stuck on plane for 7 hours but didn’t think enough of it I guess, had no idea all those guys were sitting, there was def a chance to get a Freebie with kings -4 or -5. Shoulda paid more attention when I heard that, oh well, can’t complain bout my night, didn’t know Dame was out tho. Kinda of things ya gotta keep nose to pavement in nba for sure.
 
Some actual situation plays happening.

Totally forgot ATL coaching change.

81 in first half tonight lol.
 
Giannis out rest of game with a knee issue (bumped knees).

Gotta love Twitter world declaring he shouldn't have been playing (the wrist).

Good lord, where did common sense go?
 
7 mins in, no shot attempts.

Should be interesting starting next week what kind of looks he gets on offense with KD out there.

Lol. Damn. That why I passed on him. He hard enough to trust normally, after a break I had no idea. There no reason he shouldn’t have 28-12 tonight other than he another one this overpaid clowns who doesn’t care that much. Yea I’m not sure at all how he gonna respond as 3rd wheel? I bet he pouts, doesn’t go grab 15 boards like he should.
 
SGA out tonight.

OKC off a heartbreak loss in OT.

Suns roll? Probably not because the NBA is like that.
 
That Jabari smith jr kid from auburn is awful. Mfer camps out at 3 point line w his big ass and bricks them all night. 0-4 already tonight. Lol. Worthless. Dude you shooting 30%, maybe try something else!
 
Hopefully ABC gets a game with everyone playing tomorrow night.

Sixers hosting Boston. I'm interested in that one as a capping precursor for the spring perhaps.
 
Not taking anything away from NYK, but the Pels are a mess right now.

I don’t wanna turn on Willie but it’s 5 on 4 most nights. This is gonna be a negative post, but it’s just reality. BI is really fucking good. The injury sucked obviously, and was another oddly handled medical situation. CJ is good….he can’t carry though. It’s like the ugliest 20ish point game and I don’t know why I feel that way…it’s like the other night he had 23pts, but like 4pt 3rd quarter. Misses more big shots than makes, but you can win with him for sure.
After that it’s spotty, save the young talent. Dyson Daniels potential is huge, Trey Murphy is maybe the only other “shooter” but he’s a keeper for a role. Herb does everything you ask/want…he’s kinda forced into a fucked up role, but 34 minutes 4 points just won’t get it done. But he’s obviously a defensive/blk/steal etc machine.

So you just have to hope. Maybe Jose’ has a game(like him off the bench for sure). Maybe Naji, etc. The lineups are just weird every night. And we haven’t even seen Zion play much when everyone is healthy. Sounds crazy, but they could totally miss the playoff. Valicunas, man what happened. No true point guard most games or won’t even try Kira in longer stretches.

Jesus I could go on

It's really tough to maintain consistency when you have a #1 overall that isn't at least a piece of the puzzle

I get that you couldn't pass on him with the star power but this was always a downside that was baked in
