Around the League: Week 9 (12/12 - 12/18)

[Superbone]

Wainright was in a rhythm by the end of the night! Follow up slam followed by two silky smooth threes!

Giannis and Harden now in health and safety protocols. It seems to be spreading pretty quickly now around the league. Hope we can avoid it.

[Flagrant Fowl]

It's not a matter of if, but rather when.

[SunsRIt]

Sounds like the vaccines are really working well.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Yep, no NBA players are being hospitalized.

[Split T]

Maybe the nba as a whole should pause for a week or so. Start back up with Christmas Day games.

I think Fischer is a somewhat questionable source?

The Knicks aren't losing because they're sitting Kemba. I don't think there's one specific answer as to why they're losing. They lost their identity from last season trying to upgrade the roster with Kemba and Fournier, Randle's taken a step back from his career year, RJ's regressed, and Thibs' coaching might be falling on deaf ears in his second season with the team. Usually, it's some sort of incompetence with the Knicks - either the FO is dysfunctional or the coach sucks or the roster is awful. But after overachieving last year, they've come back down to Earth while other EC teams have gotten better. Sometimes offseason moves don't work out.

Nah, he’s the guy that was nailing everything in the offseason I believe. He’s legit

Here’s the article where the report is coming from. Doesn’t seem to be much to it.

Gotcha. I'm thinking of someone else on social then.

Good article here on Carlisle and the Mavs' breakup.

There were rumblings Ainge would end up in Utah when he stepped down in Boston. Now it's official

[In2ition]

I saw people trying to get him to take over the Blazers recently. Utah seems like a better gig right now though. He has the center he was pining for in Boston.

SLC is like the West's version of Boston. It is a perfect pairing.
