The Official NBA Regular Season Thread—-20/21 Edition

[bigjbasketball]

Sixers doing everything they can to blow this game vs Houston

[brothertona]

The chase for Drummond is going to be intense between Brooklyn and Boston if he gets bought out.

[Braswell10]

The Wizards must not want a top 5 pick in a loaded draft

[Braswell10]

All I hear is “poor Jokic”, but Murray is literally saving this game for the Nuggets.

They've been trying to win this season and they still have the 3rd worst record in the League. What are you talking about?

I’m talking about them beating the Nuggets. A team that has, to some people, the MVP.

He just hit 4 threes in a row, were you watching the game?

[Kingofkings1281]

Damn, this Blazers/Pelicans game is really fun. Dame and Zion going back and forth.

[hanstess]

Sabonis with 34/17/10 in OT. Such a beast

Yep.

I like Murray. But he hasn't been playing that amazing this season and they have very little help beyond those 2.

Even the MVP can't do everything.

If you don't think Jokic is MVP worthy than you are pretty clueless. Your takes show that anyway.

[drobfan8]

Gotta feel like Milwaukee would be very hard to beat if they still had Brogdon. Dude brings the same level of defense but runs a team better and scores better.

He is probably an All Star this season. Although I doubt they go with 2 Pacers and Sabonis has one spot locked up.

He’s number two. As you said, Wizards are a bottom 3 team with the worst defense - should have been a gimme.

I would be interested in hearing which takes of mine show that I am clueless. Maybe it is the other way around.

Ha ha. Where did I say that the Wiz should have won that game?

It should have been a gimme. Sh*t happens.

But take a look at Denver's bench. I would take the Wizards over Denver's by a long way.

Gary Harris is terrible too.

[drobfan8]

Everyone of Denver's starters in the positive for plus minus.

All of Denver's bench in the negative.

Unfortunately you can't play your starting five 48 minutes.

Unfortunately he is alwayd dealing with some sort of injury. So you cant really count on him being healthy.

I guess that's fair but he's played 28/29 this season..

Who can you rely on to play all the games?

It was a bad move at the time and it's just getting worse for MIL.

[daeve]

Good night for ATL - another clunker for Denver...Bench got torched [and Bertans hit 9-11 3's], and then no Milsap/Barton/Dozier again, Green had two bad fouls in crunch time - those probably don't happen with Milsap.

[daeve]

Meanwhile, #1 pick has been playing like it lately, although a bad shooting night, he did do this

[spurs50fan]

Bert went off from 3

[bigjbasketball]

Did you see the look on Zion’s face on that breakaway? I thought he was going to tear the backboard down until Derrick Jones Jr. broke that up. He hit both of his free throws though, those were clutch.

EDIT - and just like that, they forget how to play defense for two straight possessions and they’re down again lol

[Kingofkings1281]

I’m rooting for OT in this Pels/Blazers game.

These days most players dont play every game (rest, minor injuries), but every season there was an injury to him where he would miss a significant amount of time.

There is also the fact that Brogdon didnt want to stay in Milwaukee

[bigjbasketball]

Tough break for the Pels. A shame Zion didn’t even touch the ball on the last possession. The dude had 36 points on 67% shooting, and he had been hitting all his free throws. You gotta get the ball to that man.
