2017-2018 Around the NBA

[Zog]

Westbrook is just not a very smart player. He's been laying bricks all game, while Carmelo has it going pretty well tonight, and the last 5 minutes of the game Westbrook just straight up ignores Carmelo and keeps throwing up bricks.

No way they can let Russ get away with that shove of Adams into Embiid into Covington.

Has to be a flagrant, or a technical, or a shooting foul.

#1: That was dangerous as hell and coulda hurt Covington
#2: Non basketball play that was also intentional.

edit: Wow. side-out. Bad call IMO.

There are so many terrible calls in the nba. Thank god its not just against Cavs

Should have been 3 shots for Covington. Refs fucked that up big time. Can't that be reviewed?

Boston to big to Utah at home. We’ve only lost 1 more game than them
Now

No idea. But yeah it was a terrible call. Russ got away with a huge one there. Pretty dirty play, IMO. Intentional too.

But triple OT...so fuck it lol.

If I were Brown I'm going right at Adams early. He has 5 fouls. If they get Adams out its over.

End of this game has been bad. Should be three free throws there. Roberson got hacked on the layup. Refs didn't let Philly advance the ball. Not these refs' finest moments.

No gobert for Utah tomorrow night.

Might not be a good thing. Utah turns into an offensive juggernaut when he doesn’t play as they wind up raining threes from everywhere. 100 Orating with him on and 113 orating with him off.

Yeah, they're better without him on that end, for sure. The offense with him is vomit inducing.

This okc philly game is great... I love Embis game but he’s starting to annoy me with all his other stuff

I love it. He's amazing.

I know some like to daydream about "what if" he was healthy and the Cavs took him, but honestly, he's ended up in the perfect city. Embiid and Philly were made for each other.

 

[Zog]

Embiid with another incredible block, coming out of nowhere.

 

[Zog]

Well, hopefully that game takes a lot out of OKC for tomorrow.

Man, the Thunder won... but I'm not buying this team at all. Russ was 10-33 tonight. 10-33!!! He hasn't shot 50% or better since November 10th.

Paul George is totally lost in their "offense." This is like year one Cavs, but there's no all-seeing LeBron.

I think the Thunder are what they are. A fringe .500 team that has enough talent to have the occasional extremely impressive game, but they simply dont fit well enough for them to consistently win a lot more than they lose.

Like a 40-42 win team.

Depending on luck and injuries they could win maybe 45/46...or as low as like 37-38.
