Damn! Lopez missed the bunny for the win
lol Boban would not have missed that tbh.
...Iggy's horrible FT shooter but the Nets let him shoot instead of foul him.

Yep. With the same ugly result in the overtime.
Another strange play was the 8 sec violation. Clearly Hollins was inside the court yelling for a time-out lol
Just an observation, and I know they've been playing mostly ty teams, but that Spurs defense has not even missed Splitter. Spurs are now tied for 2nd in defensive efficiency with GS and are 2nd in OPPG as well. Once their offense starts clicking it's over for the rest of the league tbh
Even with the play Spurs are still top 4 in offensive efficiency, EFF FG%, and TS%, assists, and rebound rate. Just wait til February
Indeed. Well, Splitter is an elite PnR defender when healthy but he isn't that mobile, has a shorter wing-span and doesn't jump as high as LMA.
Let's talk about OKC. Huge 4th quarter meltdown last night vs Celtics. I left the game OKC up by 7 points in the middle of the 3rd, and damn, about 45 mins later went to see the score and saw they lost by 15. OKC got blown out 28-11 in the 4th. If the bench does not step up while KD's out, OKC may be in trouble for a short period of time. Even then (after KD's return), there are no guarantee that he returns to 100% right away.
If the Spurs continue to take care of business, they could build up a nice cushion between the 2nd and 3rd seed.
McHale fired by Rockets. Anybody see that team turning it around?
Just read.
Some assistant is now interim HC. They haven't announced anyone permanently yet.Just read.
Thanks. The 4-7 start precipitated the move but that's stupid even for Morey, after only 11 games.
introducing Player/Coach...James HardenJust read.
Confirmed...Rockets are ed.
I'd love to see them give it a go. Just for the entertainment value. Maybe only thing funnier would be for Lakers to turn it over to Kobe.

0-12 now for Philly. Hinkie doing his thing, however, at some point he'll have to field a team that could offer something, supposedly next season. He's running out of time though as by the time he's able to assemble a decent roster he'd need to start handing out huge contracts to Noel, Embiid, Saric. He also won't be able to play the huge cap space game anymore due to the rising cap.
Always wondered why he never tried to use that cap space for projects on low-ish contracts, but guys who could eventually one day be a part of his actually competing team. I'm talking about contracts like Bazemore, Brandan Wright or even Jeremy Lin, or trading for the likes of Isiah Thomas or Jeremy Lamb, etc. He keeps surrounding his few decent players with complete thrash that he'll dispose of after each season, but IMO this stuns their growth completely. He's not developing his stars, he's just having them wait until he collects all the chips together and I'm not sure this would work, even though it probably does look promising in theory.
Will he be able to attract any FA after they've shown they're a circus? All of his 2nd round picks will probably follow the KJ McDaniels route and him over. Will he be even able to keep his own FAs in light of the rising cap? He's not developing them, they won't be worth the new max, but he'll have to give it to them to keep them.
I guess my point is, his tanking is analytically sound but he's gone to such extremes that IMO he's hurting the chance that it all clicks at some point.
Nobody wants to play there. Jahlil was bummed to be picked by then and some 2nd round picks would rather sign for 1 year and try their luck after. Player are just trade chips for them and like you say they don't even field a compe ive team on purpose. I agree it affects the growth if these players an it is quite honestly demoralizing for th few who have stayed to be in that situation and the turnaround of players in and out. Thu is probably their last year to tank on purpose. Imagine looks promising early and they have a good chance for a couple of lottery picks aside of their own. Still it will be had to attract any nice free agents until they are serious about winning. Maybe two years away.
I agree that they might be looking for good FAs in 2 or 3 years time but by then they would have handed out or ready to hand out deals to Noel, Embiid, Saric, even maybe Stauskas and then Okafor and their 2016 lottery picks would be in line to get paid as well. I don't doubt that some FA they throw a lot of cash at would agree to go there despite them being so bad, but would they even have the cap space when it would matter? I think Hinkie would have to be doing a lot of trading and he might not get equal value.
I just don't understand why they don't seem to be doing anything to develop their players. Don't see how Hinkie would come to the conclusion that giving them minutes while putting them in an impossible situation and demoralizing them will help them grow. He's got 2(3) young bigs - why not try to sign a vet point guard at least - someone who could ease their transition, who could assist them on some easy buckets to help them grow their confidence. Not even talking about someone really good and hard to get but someone like Jarret Jack, Ty Lawson, Jameer Nelson, even old man Andre Miller ffs.
Good point. Tanking each year only brings you so far. If you keep on doing it without getting some low risk high reward types of FA's then you're not going to form a team that is going to look good to big time FA's once the time comes. And you're even ed more if your rookies don't even want to be in your team.
Speaking of tanking, New Orleans should just bail on this season already and try to get a stud to pair with Davis. The one year tank (ala Spurs for Timmy...just kidding) is the way to go. I don't follow much college ball though so I don't know how solid the draft will be come next summer.
