No words. It could be worse, we're still 30th in the worst ever table, so... 3 more wins and we're clear.@maniak I'm just checking on your mental state. Stay strong.

Yeah what I said wasn't really necessary. But the general point about there being an issue with big v small markets stands.
Not at all what I said.
That never happened.
Woj is reporting the Pistons will buyout Griffin.
Where should he sign next?

Nets
Booker out from the ASG with a sprained knee and Conley will be the replacement.
Because it's all happening on one night, I wish they would've done it on Saturday so I could actually watch it.
About fecking time, miss the guy
(If he played in the East he'd probably have 5 selections by now).
Embiid and Simmons are pulled out of the ASG for health and safety protocol reasons.
Zion to takeover Embiid's spot in the starters.

Apart from the 3 point shoot out, that was the worst ASG that I've ever watched
I havent watched the game for years now.
Can’t believe I wasted my time on that. 
Other highlights - Dame and Steph scoring from the half way mark, Giannis shooting perfectly, Chris Paul clearly trying on defence only when Harden had possession. That’s about it...

The 3 point contest was pretty great though

All ASGs across the sports landscape are an abomination and waste of everyone's time.
Well, it was more than a obvious choice then, if I got that right
Griffin is washed, hasn’t dunked the basketball since 2019 but he can still pop up with the odd 20 point game due to his talent, even without athleticism. He could still find a way to reinvent himself this deep into his career as a role player similar to what Melo has done at Portland. Nets will not be expecting much from him anyway.
It seems Nets are going to become default choice for any players that are bought out by their teams.
Nice to see Anfernee win the dunk contest though it was a pretty bland one. Hope he can keep on developing. Portland really have a fun group of young talent developing in Simons, Trent, Little and Giles. Somehow 21-14 despite missing second and third best players for nearly all season, someone always pops up with a great performance. If CJ comes back in similar form he was in at the star of season we are probably one move away from being able to challenge Lakers.

The Griffin signing doesn't make a lot of sense to me from Blake's perspective. I guess he just wants to live in NY and have a chance at a ring? I think he could have taken a bigger role on another team but who knows.
How is Blake's defence these days? I mean he's shooting under 40% again this year from the floor which is ridiculous for a big man. I suppose he could be a stretch 5 for them but he doesn't really give them rim protection. I guess a shiny piece they can throw out there from time to time and maybe he can come up big for them in a playoff game.
Embiid and Simmons have tested positive for covid
Non existent.
He doesn't play like a big anymore. Most of his shots are from mid range and stretches all the way out to the 3 point line. He's just not very good at them.
Only thing he contributes is 6 fouls to give because he can't play defense and the Nets are fecked if he's taking shots over KD, Kyrie, Harden and Harris.
Such a waste because I really like playoff Blake on the Clippers where he basically played point forward when CP3 gets injured.
@Rado_N the other week you asked whether Stephen A was ever worth listening and I believe that I found one where he says interesting things about sport journalism and how NBA players are sometimes misguided in the way they deal with the press.
@JPRouve will try and remember to watch later but not following NBA it might not mean much to me
He can't take a bigger role with anybody. His legs are gone, he's better off playing 10-15 minutes for a good team and maybe contributing and reinventing himself rather than go out of breath after 20+ minutes with a better team. I think he can still be good, the 'not making a dunk since 2019' doesn't really matter that much when you consider what KOC quoted in their last podcast about him making only sub-50 dunks in his All-NBA season 2 years ago. For him to still be worth something in this league he has to find a way to contribute without his athleticism which I think he can still do. Having missed so much time with injuries he's better off doing that with a good team, playing 15 minutes a night though.
Trade deadline coming in two weeks. One move I'd like to see is Hornets getting a good center. They've been one of my favorite teams to watch this season and I really want them to make the playoffs. LaMelo has been a sensation, the emergence of Monk and resurrection of Rozier has been super fun and their other young guns have been awesome to watch as well. Funny how they were mocked for replacing Kemba with Rozier at $18m a year and not only he's worth that money now quite easily, he's probably a better player too. I think Vucevic has been rumored as their main center target, that would be great if the price is right.
He's awful in the role Pistons have been trying him in. At this point I think there are two ways for him to contribute: as a big off the bench, doing some playmaking, trying to get some points at the rim or as a spot up shooter with some of their best players on the floor. He can't play more than 15-18 minutes in a game as his shooting goes to shit if he's on the floor for too long.
Yeah, not a bad option but more of a stop gap and I'm not sure how good he still is. Should be better than Zeller for now but I'd prefer them to go for Vucevic even if it costs a couple of picks. I doubt they are going to be drafting very high anytime soon anyway with LaMelo.
Four in row not so good and with the Jazz and Lakers coming up I fear the losing streak may continue.

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!
It didn't look good. Hopefully he is only out for a few weeks and it isn't something major.
I know it’s a rather insignificant deal but I don’t get OKC logic of trading Diallo for Svi. He’s been coming along nicely this year, would be up for extension in the Summer and would have some value I imagine. Mikhayluk’s value is basically zero at this point and 2027 second rounder is not really a deal breaker either.
The Packers extended Jones. Rodgers should try his luck elsewhere.
I don't know if the NBA is the right move though.
Yeah, might be a bit drastic, now that I’m thinking about it.
@charlton66 one of the best wins of the season!!
Damn good win that. Jazz are playing well this year.
Charlie, old son, you beat me to it. Yep, damn good win that.

Maybe Warriors need more early games that I can watch and they would win more
Thank you for your contribution <3
I can't wait to see Russell play for Finch, it could actually be a good fit.
