NBA Discussion: Week of 1/30/17

22-25 +.17u ytd. Posting it here so that I can recount after my plays tonight (Wiz -8.5/Rox -9.5 and -10.5/Spurs -9/Raps-7.5/Hornets +3.5 and +150ml).
 
Cavs laying 7 at home vs the Wolves tomorrow. How the mighty have fallen, crazy...
 
Routine 79 point 4th quarter at Staples tonight :).

70 of those were in last 9:12 of game and that was with only 4 ft's on 'fouling at the end of the game'.

Crazy. I think having D'Angelo Russell back will help the Lakers play like they were before he went out. They were playing really well. Slipped off the past few weeks while he was out.
 
It will take a strong stomach to hit submit, but the Nets are in a REALLY strong spot tonight imo.

Knicks lose a 4ot heartbreaker, fly to Washington and lose their legs in the third quarter. Tonight they play their 3rd game in 4 nights, staring a 5 game home stand right in the face afterward with no games until Cleveland at MSG on Saturday night. Nets looking to end a long losing streak, bigger game for them motivation-wise imo.
 
BTW, dogging a team on an 8 game win streak at home against a good but not great team is a strong line imo. Signals Atlanta as a solid play.
 
Agree. Nets should win tonight. But tough to pull the trigger with such a big card.


The heat are still seen as below average team and the Hawks still carry the luster of last year. Schroeder is maddening to have money on. The heat and the Mavericks are the two teams that I expect to not have a letdown going into the all star break. They're better than their record indicates and are healthy after being pummeled by injuries.

I tried to quote chance above but it won't let me use the space bar when I do.

however, raps went into OT yesterday and won at the buzzer. Demar is out again tonight, it seems

Cramps receiving the NAACP Jackie Robinson Award tonight for achievements in social justice, civil rights and community involvement.

Mario Chalmers and Lance Stephenson also working out for the Cavs today.

Another likely over but Knicks may run out

Thanks for the injury update. Very critical. What site is this you use? I like the format.
 
Dallas over206. Late so poor line. Team history's plus next games makethis a bet
 
Celtics talking about getting Melo or Jimmy Butler. How about getting someone willing to play some defense? Jeez...
 
Melo will end up in Cleveland in the worst trade ever. Love and Kristaps will run NY.

Love the most underrated, discredited player in the league, kinda sad.

Have been guilty of roasting the dude myself, changed my stripes though.
 
The Cavs have said they'd take Melo on one condition: as long as Love isn't part of the trade. I guess they want both guys. That would be one hell of a payroll if they took on Melo's with the existing.
 
Melo, Cramps and JR on a team is puke-worthy.

I doubt Honey Nut Cheerios would like him going to Ohio either way.
 
My prediction is that Melo isn't moved until this summer. Right now, there's really no urgency to move him since you can just shut him down and lose a few more games / give the young guys more of an eval. Unless the Knicks can get some combination of picks/young pieces/cap relief, there's no real reason to trade Melo now. Teams will inevitably strike out in free agency and feel compelled to make a splashy move by acquiring Melo this July.
 
Sixers in a very bad spot here. Not only playing their 4th in 5 nights, but also on the back end of consecutive b2b games in this stretch due to the make-up game vs. Kings on Monday night. They played Bulls Sunday night, had to fly late back to Philly for a 6pm tip Monday. Then, back out to Dallas for Wednesday's game, and now to San Antonio.

This team is gassed. And no Embiid and no Covington tonight. This could get ugly.
 
Well said, Gorgolon, I personally agree.

No Lamarcus in this specific game actually not a bad thing for Spurs imo. Makes the rest of the roster perk up.
 
Houston tonight, >50% of their shots are from 3 and only shoot 26%. Hard to stomach watching them play when they are not clicking.

When the NBA adjusted the schedule to give players more rest and less 4 games in 5 nights they not only limited injuries but boosted scoring
