Around the League: Week 4 (11/13 - 11/19)

[Flagrant Fowl]

Greg Popovich is now the highest paid coach after recently signing an extension.

I'm pretty sure Monty didn't even want the Pistons job but couldn't turn down that money.

Their two teams have combined to lose 21 consecutive games (12 for Detroit, 9 for San Antonio) as of tonight. Nobody wins without talent, experience, health, and a little luck.

I try to not complain about the officials during Suns games but I just cant help myself this year. I know I do it too much, so my bad to anyone who finds it annoying.

That said, every night there's at least one crew doing the dumbest shit, and here's another example from tonight.

I just need a place to process this; I just realized Bird was a 20 & 10 guy. I was addicted to stats back in 1992 so I was too young to watch Bird in his prime. Did anyone else catch that he wasn’t just a wizard scoring and passing the ball but also a beast on the boards?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Larry Bird would play minutes at Center in today's NBA.

[TOO]

I made the same comparison some time back. People didn't seem to like it.

[Shabazz]

There are a few braindead players in the league, but I think Jordan Poole might be the dumbest.

He’s the perfect Tank Commander.

Yeah Bird was amazing. Birds talent would be reduced to dribbling the air out of the ball in today’s game and playing a luka role in a half court offense. In some ways today’s game can be complete bullshit just baiting refs to get to the line and beating your opponent by trying to get a weak defender to switch onto you for 36 mpg.

Spoiler: show/hide

He’s the perfect Tank Commander.

Which makes it perfectly Wiz that they've already put his name out in trade rumors.

I don’t necessarily think that it would. The number of teams that play that way has always been overblown. Just Harden and Luka really

[Kryptonic]

I'm still waiting for the OKC ownership group to fuck it up for cap reasons like they did last time.

It's going to happen eventually. Just a matter of time.

Well…. It was finally messed up but not by ownership.
