November 8Nov 8 is it maybe time to point out Sengun and his bullshit tactics? He's treading Lebron, CP3, Luka, SGA territory with his acting Meanwhile according to him, he's never committed a foul in his career and every whistle against him is an instant complaint. IDK, maybe an observation
November 8Nov 8 i know everybody in the nba is best friends since sixth grade these days, but how in the hell did this dirty ass foul not turn into a brawl: go back 15+ years and dirty suit like this would never fly.

IDK, maybe an observation The league rewards flopping. Guys who play through contact don't get calls. Meanwhile others get to be ultra physical then whip their head back like they got shot when their physicality is matched.

November 10Nov 10 One of the genuinely good guys of the sport passed away today. Legendary NBA player, coach Lenny Wilkens dies at 88 - ESPN Edited November 10Nov 10 by Message Board User
November 10Nov 10 Legendary coach. Was reading The Athletic's Basketball 100 book and read through his inclusion the other day.
November 10Nov 10 Late 70s Sonics were a solid, solid team with b2b trips to the Finals finally winning it in '79:over the Bullets in 5 games.

November 10Nov 10 Cade Cunningham is a beast. I’m not going to do a top 10 players in the league right now list but if I was I would be hard pressed to not have him on it.

I liked him a ton as a prospect - it just took him a couple years. Would you rather have him or Sengun? --- In unrelated news - Ja 3/18 tonight against OKC.

If Detroit had better lottery luck they would be on the verge of a dynasty. And gimme Cade ten times out of ten over Sengun. Edited November 10Nov 10 by Mitch Cumsteen

And Gimme Cade ten times out of ten over Sengun. That's dope. I don't know if it's better than Sengun taking Giannis 94 feet. I like them both a lot. Cade has more range positionally but Sengun is a better shooter. And he's a fucking animal on the glass. I think they're both just kind of meh defenders.
November 10Nov 10 Kings are a mess. what a fall from grace, similar to Memphis' since 2022. At least memphis can blame theirs on guns and injuries. Kings are just old, boring, and filled multiple guys that share the same skill sets. who all happen to be in their 30s. Played Westbrook and Shroder more than Keon Ellis in meaningful minutes Not a single young guy youre excited about in 2-3 years. If lavine opts out next summer, they'll have some spending cash...so they have that going. need some lottery luck+ that to happen to have any sort of 2-3 year foundation of hope Edited November 10Nov 10 by MNLonghornFUKM
November 10Nov 10 For a brief moment in the history of the universe and at the same time, Sacremento, New Orleans, and Memphis all had not only good teams but a lot of future potential. And just like that, they're back to where they've been and the top teams are the same as they've always been.
November 11Nov 11 Hoops Collective argued today that the Dallas should trade AD ASAP. They admitted it was unlikely because AD is tight with NIco. On the plus side, Dallas controls their first round pick in 2026 in a loaded draft. It’s not unpossible that they land another star to pair with Flagg.
November 11Nov 11 2 hours ago, ztejas said: Dallas should 100% tank. That team isn't doing shit. Nico and Dumont keep making dumb ass remarks that they’re in a 3 year window to win now. They also won the lottery out of the play in last year, so I think they’ll play out the string.

He makes no sense on that team.

November 11Nov 11 foul hunting is such a huge part of the game now, it’s ridiculous. guards know how to get foul calls, so they can pound the air out of the ball and then when that doesn’t work just dupe the official into giving him a whistle. ugly basketball that makes the game be start-stop, start-stop. the refs have got to stop rewarding this bs.
November 11Nov 11 10 hours ago, ztejas said: Cade shot 14/45 from the floor tonight. Filled out the stat-sheet though. That sounds like a lot: His 31 missed shots are the most by a player in a game since the 1976-77 merger. The last player to miss that many shots was Rick Barry in 1967, when he went 17-of-50 from the field. Of the 1,534 instances of a 45-point game in NBA history, Cunningham had the second-worst field goal percentage (31.1%), behind only James Harden (20.7%) in 2019.

Harden's box score for that game: 50 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 turnovers, 11-37, 5-20 from 3.....24-24 on free throws. Steph Curry didn't ruin basketball. Mother fucking James Harden ruined basketball.
