Around the League: Week 14 (1/17 to 1/23)

I was like maaan, it's the Rockets tho
Then I said Ok fine a buzzer beater is a buzzer beater so good for him (them)



I guess this more explains the reaction
It's also a shocking stat

He’s been incredible…I can’t believe Philly might waste this season because they are playing chicken with Ben Simmons. I think they move him, but it’s a major failure if they don’t.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Daryl Morrey deserves a ton of criticism if he fails to trade Simmons this season. Embiid is playing like a league MVP and it's disrespectful to willingly not do what it takes to compete for a title right now.

[Superbone]

Embiid has MVP in the bag.

[Split T]

Who says no in a Ben Simmons for Gordon Hayward trade?

[Flagrant Fowl]

I doubt Daryl Morrey would go for that.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I think the league should punish every Flagrant 2 foul that results in a long term injury.

[Split T]

I doubt Daryl Morrey would go for that.

You’re probably right. It helps Philly but not as much as if Simmons just decided to play.

Listening to the Dunkers Spot podcast and they announced their All-NBA teams…they’re usually really good, but I have some serious problems with their lists…

Nekias went

1st Team:
Ja, Curry, KD, Giannis, Jokic

2nd Team:
Trae, LaVine, Derozan, LeBron, Embiid

3rd Team:
Mitchell, Booker, Luka, Draymond, Gobert

Steve went:

1st Team:
Curry, Derozan, KD, Giannis, Jokic

2nd Team:
Ja, Luka, LeBron, Draymond, Embiid

3rd Team:
Trae, Harden, Booker, Butler, Gobert

Suns have the best record(by a significant margin) and we get one 3rd team guy? Sounded like Book was the last guy in for both.

Non suns issues: Derozan is not a guard and should not be 1st team. Luka 2nd team at this point is a stretch. He’s shooting lower % from the field than Westbrook and averaging more turnovers. Trae 2nd team on a non playoff team is blah…

Mine:

1st Team - Ja, Curry, KD, Giannis, Jokic
2nd Team - CP3, Booker, Derozan, LeBron, Embiid
3rd Team - LaVine, Harden, Butler, Draymond, Gobert

[MightyMoog]

Anyone else remember the Danny Fortson Flagrant that ended Zarko’s career.

I’m curious to see what AD does for LA. I haven’t written them off like others have and I’d be cool not having to play them in round 1 again.

Somebody needs to shove that donut into his GD face!

[Superbone]

I feel so bad for Caruso. He showed total joy in an interview after his first game back recently. Allen needs to be punished severely.

[bajanguy008]

Ammm ok

[Split T]

That’s a strange one…would be understandable if Ja was hurt or something, but he’s fine. And for NY vs Miami? Not exactly the best matchup

[Superbone]

Two major cities versus two not so major cities. End of story.
