Around the League: Week 10 (12/19 - 12/25)

Just tuned into Warriors v Grizz to see Ty Jerome with 8 straight or something like that in the 3rd quarter
Warriors on a bug run

I can't believe Ty Jerome is giving the Warriors good minutes. It is really annoying to see the Warriors players dancing around and taunting after every made 3. I hope the Grizz remember this and knock them on their asses in the playoffs.

The Grizz are worse than the warriors…

[Wally_West]

What’s that say about us

[Split T]

I meant the Grizz taunt and rub it in more than the warriors

[Flagrant Fowl]

The Grizzlies have supplanted the Timberwolves as my most disliked team this year (besides the Lakers, of course).

[ShelC]

Maybe I'm biased but I don't remember the Suns ever collectively talking shit over the past two years. It was always the opposite - "we haven't accomplished anything", "we have to earn calls/respect", etc. I know Book talks during games, but teams come at us like we've been this trash talking, cocky team. It's weird how they've built us up that way. I think some of it stems from players/fans hating CP and Book and maybe the overnight success we had and teams thinking we've been a fluke. Maybe they just need to motivate themselves.

Suns players weren’t as outwardly outspoken to the public, but I think they talked a lot to opponents

KD moving up the MVP leaderboards

[bajanguy008]

Nets (22-12) vs Cavs (22-13) was a showdown of top teams in the East
Nets win their 9 straight with KD n Kyrie both dropping 32

[Split T]

Nets look pretty legit

[Flagrant Fowl]

Probably could've avoided all the Durant stuff in the summer if ownership had just fired Nash the first time KD and Kyrie not so subtly suggested doing.

[INFORMER]

I think there was more to his trade request than just Nash. He didn't like the roster either.

[Shabazz]

Holy shit, Luka.

60-21-10

[Split T]

First 60/20/10 game in history…it’s pretty special if you do something Wilt didn’t even do

[Flagrant Fowl]

I think there was more to his trade request than just Nash. He didn't like the roster either.

They have the same roster now and he seems perfectly content. I guess he didn’t like the roster in the scope of Nash’s scheme, but that was my original point. Him and Kyrie sold on Nash in July.

[INFORMER]

Things are going well, so I think that yields contentment. And he dropped his trade demand before Nash was fired; it's not like they fired Nash and then he agreed to stay.

Durant didn't like the roster last season. He didn't like an injured Ben Simmons, nor did he like the part-time Kyrie, and he didn't see it getting better this season.

They added Royce O'Neale, Kyrie finally got his act together, and Ben Simmons is actually playing. All of that matters.

I thought certainly that T-Mac 13 points in 33 seconds game would be one, but Houston was only down 8 with 33 seconds to go. Spurs had 4 points in there too.
