Grant really clamped Embiid huh
and hes only 6'6"
if they give him for poetl, we should snatch him
More like, got away with a foul smh
Iām not exaggerate when I say us with Grant is a guaranteed championship
Yeah I get that
i like rings tho
Mavs canāt miss huh

Giannis with just 52% fg? Jokic would have made it 90%
Not my mvp
𤮠G's stats arent advanced enough
Vaughn gotta figure out rotations where the offense isn't going to just grind to a halt like this
Joe Harris remembered how to play basketball
well he has like 1 good quarter a game
KD was holding him back smh
Patty Mills has three fouls in like 5 minutes. He old
Could never play D but now super can't play D
holy fuck Embiid
Nets offense is to just jack threes like a college team from Iowa
Lmao giving 76ers a run off its money
go nets
mikal š
Mikal might end up being an all-star, heās improved his shot creation so much
Nets are still a playoff team
Cam just stole the ball from Harden straight up, like taking candy from a baby
Seeing that Hayward lob made me flinch lol
nets being cool again feels good
this is sad
this game has been like 5-7 points all game
bridges in my mind should be our target for the summer
Defense, transition, and just jack threes in the half court
too good on a nice contract
mikal ofc
yea i think nets want to have mikal as one of the foundations for their retooling
we could work something with 2 frp in the summer, potentially 3 with some horst magic
dont have the capital to get him
the thing is mikal is majorly underpaid for what they want
i doubt he wants to stay there not contending
jokic is getting exposed 
ish
if the hornets keep this up....
giannis mvp could be right up there
yea maybe not
but were most likely getting outbid by other teams if he becomes available
not all frp are equal
Nets bench celebrations are back
The whole league will be fighting over Mikal
Claxton just swatted an Embiid fadeaway and outran Embiid to slam down the lob wide open, the bench went crazy
leave it to the Hornets to only go hot against good teams
clax > embiid
I feel like Hornets have been good lately
in this case, it's a blessing
š
hopefully they can maintain a decent lead
bruh š
nvm nuggets heating up
go hornets anyways
nuggets hit like 5 straight shots
Holy shit Brooklyn D
wow new fun Brooklyn
I'm not watching cocaine bear but I will probably watch clips on YT
Nets are doing very well for a team who lost KD and Kyrie on the same week
Like Toronto but with depth and actual shooting
the future of bball will be 4 forwards and a giannis type small ball 5
Yeah having a PG like Dinwiddie who can guard up just fits this new look nets
or... Clax is going to get into foul trouble and then the wheels might come off
keep cookin hornets
The Nets team looks like the former Mavs team but switch Luka for Simmons
GOOO HORNETS
embiid falling down like a sack of potatoes will never not be funny

bro hornets
2/9 on free throws
and still up 13
KD would like to know where this Joe Harris was the past two years
Also come on Ben you are wide open under the hoop and you still kick it for 3
Okay, there we go Ben
man, if ben actually try they'll be dangerous
Backup center Ben Simmons
rebound, outlet pass, screen, rim run
If he could remember how to finish within the restricted zone...
bruh hornets
it's the Hornets, don't go expecting stuff
yeah ik lol
they completely wrecked us
he doesn't even have to score, if he playmakes he can make the team great, a lot of movement and pace
He can playmake a lot better if he's at least a dunk threat under the basket
Cam damn
sixers in it
yeah... who is closing for this Nets squad?
crunch time gonna be a problem
well crunch time O, D looks good
Rozier keeps losing me fg% in fantasy
.scores
oshit
Nets can't score in crunch time
Let's see if Vaughn has a way to scheme these mids open
wow
F
Bro my stream froze with 5.2 seconds to go with Nets inbounding, it came back when Nets were inbounding again and Dinwiddie shot that last second shot
What happened in between?
mikal missed a wining layup, sixers fts
2 pack of ASSS
jokic is cooking damn it

Vanderbilt looks so good!
High energy guy, well rounded player
Oh no, I hope heās okay! Looked hurt there
Heās been their best player tonight
Heās okay šš½ back in the game

Kyrie vs Fox is blasting each other in OT
seems like Kings win?
Fox clutch free throws
Kings announcer just said āladies and gentlemen, the Dallas Mavericks have foxed around and found out tonight what it means to be that dudeā
.bs sac
.bs dal
I love Fox
damn with both Ky and Luka on the floor too
The truth is, this trade took away what little defense the Mavs had left. Theyāre not winning shit
Fox literally did like what, 20+ points
in 4th quarter alone
if he aint CPOY, idk who else is
i have to say
he kinda dumb on the last 4th quarter shot
lmao
he is him but what he did there is dumb
Eh, I feel like game tied and you have the ball at the end of the game, Iām fine with you doing whatever you want, you know what I mean? Worst case weāll go to overtime and win there
yeah but it's still a bad shot selection when it comes to crunch time
you dont want OT considering Sabonis is in foul trouble as well
Shouldāve taken a timeout imo
nah they have the momentum
Defense was set
I think Brown is on the right to not call
The only time you donāt take the timeout imo is when the defense isnāt set
I think if the momentum is on the Kings, and with a set time left, I wouldnt personally call it tbh
especially when Fox has been hot on his last possession
so I understand Brown's decision to not call it
Ok so I managed to watch the whole game Kings vs Mavs(since I mostly watched 4th and OT) just to see what was going on and I thought I might give some detailed game summary a shot since I always love explaining stuff from my perspective even though it's mostly alone, but seeing how Xepno had been kinda putting a play by play, I thought I might add my take on games that do not revolve around Bucks at all(hopefully it's ok here in this server but I'm still cooking hold up, and I apologize if I had wacky English since it is not my native language). Also added that I will explain what I find a "great game" on both side and not just one blowing the shit out of the other since that doesnt really deserve a deep dive through (unless you feel like it)
In the FIRST HALF, it was equally matched in favor of the Mavs, with Luka leading the way. From what I noticed since the last time they faced off(which was yesterday), the ball movement of Mavs had been very fast with the addition of Kyrie, so with Luka in the rotation, it did not affect this fast pacing Mavs offense at all despite Luka being their "slowest" player when it comes to pacing. The ball movement was smooth asf that it was like butter, but so do the Kings, with Sabonis, Barnes(although he has been the reason that blew a 13 point lead) and a random player that popped off from the bench, Terence Davis, picking up the Kings offense, Fox has also been contributing but he has mostly been a passive player in the whole first half, same with Kyrie from the Mavs, but still contributing from the fast pace offense. Josh Green has also been contributing a lot in this half as well. Another thing to note here is that the Kings' 3 point percentage FUCKING SUCKS to the point that they are 21.4% beyond the arch at this half and this will also be a running theme to the game as well
3rd QUARTER had been very stale on both sides, to the point that there is nothing relevant to talk about other than Luka's putback slam, which is a beauty. Fox is still stale but Sabonis and Huerter had been matching with Kyrie and Luka on their offense.
4th QUARTER, man is 4th quarter a show, this is literally where everything just switches out of nowhere, Fox and Kyrie began getting into each other, blow after blow with Kyrie's crazy acrobatic and crazy shots, even the ball rotation is at high here while Luka had been stale asf in this quarter, and then there's Fox who is unfazed about what crazy shots Kyrie has been doing. Whatever Kyrie does, Fox just instantly puts it back up middy within like 5 seconds, it was fast asf, a reminiscence to the old Phoenix Suns with D'Antoni's 7 seconds or less offense with Steve Nash, except I honestly felt like it was shorter considering how fucking fast Fox is that he does not leave a breathing room on the defensive end. The defense also intensifies, I thought the Kings are pretty bad on D but they actually played really well considering their defensive rating not reflecting in on this quarter, to the point they made Kyrie miss some crucial shots, although the last possession of the Kings is weird because Fox had no play in mind and decided to play Curry and shoot from 3, which misses and forces overtime. Brown didnt call a time out here, most likely because he knows Fox is still hot and would not break the momentum, and besides, it's a tie game, although at the same time, Sabonis is in foul trouble this game, so it's 50/50 whether Brown did the right thing to not call a time out for a sure game winner or not, but regardless, Fox misses a contested 3 and OT starts
OT
is, again, a Kyrie vs Fox show, like the last game. These 2 have been balling out like crazy, with crazy pace as well, whenever Kyrie shoots, Fox shots within 5 seconds, that's how quick it has been, Fox's speed is clearly unmatched. Luka was cold here considering he was stale during the 4th quarter, which might have given him cold feet. Sabonis was FOULED OUT at like 1:30(?) in the game but he haven't really been contributing much, and his defense sucks, he should really learn how to defend properly so he won't be in foul trouble again like this
Crunch time and for some reason the final "game-tying" possession Mavs went to is on Luka for some reason, who is cold, and he made a wreckless contested 3-point shot out of nowhere which is ??? I dont know what Luka is thinking on that play but that sealed the deal on the game. Fox outmatched these 2 simply because Luka got cold feet tbh, most likely because of the ball rotation Kyrie got hasn't been aiming at Luka.
Still a solid game on both teams, with little stupid errors, the Kings Arena is fucking loud asf as well like you couldn't hear a whistle, but man it was a delight to watch considering there's no Bucks basketball
Important Statlines:
Kings:
De'Aaron fox shot 26 points in 4th and OT1 alone at 57% FG and sinking 10 crucial free throws from his attack inside(Overall stat: 36/4/5 at 52%)
Terence Davis scored 22
Sabonis scored 22 with 14 rebounds
Mavs:
Luka and Kyrie combined 55 points
(Kyrie: 28/7/7 at 52%, Luka at 27/9/5 at 55%)
Josh Green scored 23
Team Stats
You notice the fastbreak points? Yeah Fox always immediately starts a fast break after Kyrie scores a bucket
Final Verdict: This is a good game on both side, probably the best non-Bucks game I ever watched this season, even better than Zion disrespecting the Suns by doing that unnecessary crazy dunk at the buzzer on their W
both teams are very fucking fast in pace as well, but as you could have guessed, the defense are awful on both side as well overall
Other Games I keep tabs on yesterday(Close interesting games)
I managed to watch Lakers vs Warriors but
ngl it's really awful on both side lmao that i dont think it deserves recognition, Poole played like him, Klay sucks, AD sucks but played a crucial role in the D, and D'Angelo Russ was working, having no Westbrook's stupid plays and TOs help a lot
76ers vs Nets was also interesting because Nets had been popping off against a top 3 seed in the East, but the refs saved 76ers from embarrassment, Embiid is untouchable, but everyone played very well in the Nets, just sucks that Mikal choked
oh yeah and Magic vs Heat was pretty dope as well considering how there are like 6 players there who scored double digit with identical team statlines with the Heat, but Heat having more star power helps, and also Orlando bricking free throws a bit more
I have a feeling Orlando might become a threat soon in the East, I'd give it next season tbh
š stuffs my dude
you have nba.com subscription or smthg? how do you rewatch games
i'm assuming you're not watching a highlight only clips
you might have to delete that, mods are pretty strict to š“āā ļø sites
but thanks for the info
now i got the chance to watch games if i cant catch it

this server complains when games are 9PM, but it's the only games i can catch, because of the whole timezone thing
smh
lmao game usually starts at like mornign for me
me too
9PM games mean i can watch it while i'm working
do be like that
i still remember i watched game 6 finals while i was in the middle of meeting
filled with shit tons of energy stucked in a boring ass morning meet is an experience
I just finished uni finals that time afaik
or maybe that was in game 3
I forgot which but i recall missing the first 2 games cuz of finals hell week
although I have watched most of the Finals game since 2008, although I kinda ignored the bubble ring
yeah ever since our educational system shifted to k12, the matching of school days changed, making it harder for me to watch recent finals
i think I skipped like game 1 for the Warriors vs Boston though
Celts v grizz
2pm MKE time
Need grizz to win
So Bucks can beat celts on Tuesday
And be #1
Games to keep track on later(for me):
Nets vs Knicks
Heat vs Nuggets
might focus more on Nets vs Knicks, literally a mid off
if interested as well, on Valentines, Suns vs Kings would look like an interesting show as well aside from Bucks vs Celtics

also Lakers' ball movement seem to improved, Ham has been killing it now, not sure how good it'll be though in the long run since we always see this happen on the Lakers, Pelicans on the other hand fucking sucks on ball movements, spacing and always rely on isos for some reason, which isnt CJ's playstyle at all
also glad seeing Mikal flourishing in the Nets as well, although it still a few games, but I think he gets it

As long as theyāre healthy, Sixers are a legit threat this year imo (I still feel comfortable about beating them in a series but still)
hopefully one of them or Boston take the other out
would be a blessing
We just need to actually get that one seed
The Jrue/Jevon backcourt can clamp the Cavs
the biggest difference between them and us/the Cās is their bench
True
They do have Maxey coming off their bench now but still
And McDaniels
Sixers choking
they have made upgrades but compared to us and the Celticsā¦
Boston came baxk
fuck
I like how the mavs look
they cant do shit to stop AD
but cant stop them offensively
I like Josh Green too
if the mavs play like this they can make the WCF and give whoever else is there a hard ass time
I left for a bit wtf happened
why are the lakers down 20
āMissed 21 of last 25 fgā how
guess I;ll watch the Prunty hawks

Dang Derrick White really is him
28% from 3 damn
he simply isnt playing very well
no way around it
but the production he brings is invaluable to us regardless
I feel like w the roster changes weāve made and the holes weāve had to fill weāve been able to get by without Khris being 100% himself. Granted, I think heāll need to be closer to that for us to go deep in the postseason, heās still reliable for a bucket when we need it and his passing/IQ is much needed
damn that dude has nba hands they are huge
What the fuck are they feeding nwora
lol
average D, no turnovers
shooting 6/9
and isnt blowing his layups

Kinda compared him to a budget jordan clarkson earlier in the season
didnt expect it to manifest for the pacers
Pacers really gonna build around Nwora next year fr
Good for him though that hes doing so well

got his ring, settled for life
Mavs is really gonna waste Luka's prime years

That defense is so bad.. youāre basically banking on Luka and Kyrie to outscore the other team in a 7 game series⦠theyāre 1-4 to start off and losing versus some bad teams. I donāt think this will fly come playoff time
i believe in dallas more than denver
kyrie and luka with 82 and they only won by 7...yeah this team is cooked
Iād actually go with Denver to be honest.. theyāve shown more so far imo and I feel like despite some of Jokicās troubles come playoff time, the team is so well rounded that Iād trust them more than the currently built Mavericks in a 7 game series
Plus the group when healthy has still reached a WCF
I like to go with the group that been longer together when comparing to Mavs, although I think a few teams are better than them in the west
Dallas is gonna get smacked around in the playoffs

During the '93-'94 NBA season I got my 15 minutes of fame. Toward the end of 1993 I was at a Knicks game and saw a camera crew walking around. They were filming fans for the "Go NY Go" video to play during the second half of the season. My friends and I were filmed but we didn't think anything would come from it. We were wrong. We were feat...

Celtics will try to steal I believe
cmon mcon mocn

My advice to knickerbockers, be prepared for smart to hit the floor and take advantage
do the same shit we pulled
rooting for the knicks to get the 3rd seed, theyll be way tougher for boston than the sixers
yeah they would be
Good timeout
