The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Setting Up for a SFA

I thought PJ was great defensively. Still has value on that end, he successfully forced Zion right several times which obviously very few people are strong enough and quick enough to do

Problem is on the other end. He might make some 3s earlier in the game but in the fourth quarter he’s going to get entirely ignored and you don’t want him taking several corner 3s to decide the game. And he’s not a dunker so you can’t sit him there.

So ultimately he can’t play after the 3rd quarter. But he can still contribute

Luka and BWPG should be ashamed of themselves

100% the right response

The Rock kinda weird for that

Well, at the very least, should be pretty lively in here tonight.

Wonder how long Pop is planning to hang in as a head coach? Despite Wemby looking to really be the unicorn he was billed as, the Spurs look to be still years away from being real contenders (unless they trade for another star right away).

It was super random but you know it’s not on Dwayne, yo just reading the script to get a check…Some nerd behind the scenes wrote that and thought it was hilarious

This is even more impressive considering memphis statkeepers were juicing JJJ’s stats.

Wemby is the best player in the NBA. There isn’t a close a 2nd.

Wrestlers sometimes insult the sports team of whatever town they're in that night, Ja probably caught it for playing in Memphis

Wemby playing more minutes next year + acquiring a starting point guard will put them in the play-in.

The PG doesn’t even need to be a star or even a fringe all star. Tyus Jones would give them an enormous boost.

They’re also lucky that they didn’t win 35 games like Luka’s Mavs or Bron’s cavs in year 1. Perhaps that was the front office mandate or Pop’s goal all along 60 losses is a blessing in disguise.

They’ll have a very high pick. There’s no superstars in this draft but plenty of contributors. They can even trade down if they win the lottery.

So they can turn this around very, very quickly.

I haven't watched wrestling regularly in decades, did they turn Rock into a bad guy again? He used to be funny on the mic then they turned him into a good guy and he became a movie star.

People were talking soooooo crazy about him after the way the previous season ended


Edit: I’m thinking about ‘05, followed by his ridiculous ‘06.

07-10 Kobe is my favorite player of all time

Rock did this in Sac and it was magical...

How are these not offensive fouls on Jokic?

 

[finessence]

Wemby need to line them all up like Sweet Pea and check some chins. Smh

Oh okay to antagonize the local crowd. I see.

What the **** have they said about the Knicks?
