Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Liquid]

Maybe @Gil Scott-Heroin @Malta and the rest of the nba goons here can help me with this.

Payton on the suns just shot an airball as the 24 expired. the warriors clearly had the ball and were about to score an easy 2 points. Why is the rule still that play has to stop even AFTER the opposing team has the ball already? It wasn't even close, he missed the entire thing?

Annoying as shyt.

You're too kind, that's as high-key as it gets

The rumors around Mizzou when he was coach was crazy. All kinds of rumors about him being a huge partier, sniffing coke and fukking coeds left and right. Then rumors came out that he had fukked some players girlfriend. Who knows how much of it was true but shyt was comedy.

I'm not sure if they're being overrated but I think the talking point about them being younger is a bit overstated. They did get younger but I'm not sure if they're really better. I see the talent with all four players they have but those dudes are marginal/role players at best. It may be good enough to get out of the East but that's where it might stop.

The top 8 in the West would run them out of the gym.

@The Dankster

What happened to the Nets making a competitive push breh?

I dunno, we'll see how this plays out.

I thought that they would just have to rise out of the bottom because so many teams are tanking, and they have no reason to. But they ain't been looking good at all.

Most of the rest of their schedule is against non-tanking teams too. Their lottery position might more than anything come down to, "How badly are the Bulls gonna be throwing games from here on out?"

I've never claimed that it was easy to predict what the hell bottom-of-the-barrel teams are going to do.

Marginal/role players is basically what Houston has as well. Harden & Cp3 compared to LeBron and Love. And if Melo is to be honest with himself he's a role player at this stage too.

Again... It may be good enough to get out of the East but it does nothing for them against West.

That's just what I think about the Cavs. I think everybody is kinda on a high right now with the new talent but I'm not quite sure what it will do for them in June.

The shot clock violation occurred after Paytons release but before GSW gained possession. So it's a dead ball once it missed the rim. Had it touched the rim and GSW gained possession the fast break would be legit.

Hezonja with 23 and 24 in back-to-back games. Orlando fans, hold this L once free agency hits.

Do it Danny

I don’t like that rule. The warriors should have had an easy fast break instead of a reset.

Ok let me find out Alex Len got some moves

Elfird Payton really doing work in Phoenix???? Damn guess that was a damn good trade for the Suns, now if only they can get him to cut that bullshyt

if this guy becomes good like Oladipo and Harris, Magic just need to abolish their franchise

The ball has to hit the rim to reset the shot clock breh, unless there is a change of possession
