Around the League: Week 5 (11/20 - 11/26)

[Mori Chu]

As long as KD's foot isn't a serious thing, we are in good shape.

Makes it tougher to climb the ladder with a sore foot.

We’ve also caught Denver who is quietly 2-5 over their last 7…seems like they have just as much trouble winning without Murray as we did without Booker(and sometimes Beal). It’s especially funny because HP(Nuggets Twitter reporter) called out the suns for going 2-4 without Booker and making it seem like they made a mistake going with Beal over depth…

It's a very good reminder that almost any team will go on a losing streak if one or more of their top 2-3 best players go out with an injury. Those same Nuggets were nowhere close to contention a few years ago when both Murray and Porter Jr went out with season-ending injuries.

[Split T]

And they got slaughtered by us with MPJ and no Murray

[Wally_West]

I still don’t think we were that far away from Denver last year. If KD wasn’t garbage in game 2 it would’ve been a 7 game series.

Looking back, I think a lot of KD struggles in that series were because he wasn’t fully healthy from that ankle sprain.

Chet dropped 33 on Embiid. As if Shai needed more space to operate, Chet and Joe have made it all but impos to keep Shai outta the lane.

[Wally_West]

Really? Smh

[Mori Chu]

Nice defensive play.

That Thunder tweet is WILD. Can't believe they posted that, has to be on purpose but why???

[Split T]

I don’t get it…it’s halftime, halftime is 15 minutes

Yeah it's like something that would be troll-posted on Twitter or Reddit or something. Can't believe it's an accident.

Everyone knows the allegations regarding the 15 year old. They could’ve just said halftime. Just seems intentional

[Split T]

I think that’s a stretch…Back in 15 doesn’t even make sense in relation to a person. What are they trying to say? I think it’s much more likely it is only referring to the length of halftime.

The insinuation is that Josh Giddey is back "in" a "15" year old. Like, he's having sex with one again. Not saying that OKC twitter meant that, but that's one pervy interpretation of the tweet.

[Split T]

Ya I think that’s incredibly unlikely…just a coincidence
