Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/8/24 - 1/14/24)

[Split T]

I think it’s fine to not like Krause, but to boo a dead man’s widow accepting an honor on behalf of him is really low.

[Mori Chu]

I love that the Bulls were up by 10+ points at halftime, but after that Krause boo debacle, the Warriors went on a 48-10 run in the second half and destroyed the Bulls in that game.

To me, booing Jerry Krause is like booing Jerry Colangelo or Jerry West or Jerry Sloan. What is it about the NBA and Jerrys? They rule.

I wouldn’t even boo Jerry Tarkanian in front of his widow.

More about the Bulls booing Jerry Krause and bringing his widowed wife to tears:

And this is just plain ridiculous after all the success they had and how much time has passed:

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were the headliners, but neither was ever going to show up because they hate each other.

On top of that, they have a real life Romeo and Juliet going on:

Maybe that explains it.

Atlanta’s imploding. Can we get Bey or even AJ Griffin from them?

Haven't seen any comments about them on the forum and I'm surprised that they're rolling like this
Feel free go have a guess then peep the answer

Jazz

Jazz have had a real hot streak, you're right. They're actually right behind us in the standings; we are 20-18 and they are 20-20. Pretty pathetic if you think about how many assets we gave up to assemble this "super team" while they have been actively trading away players to get draft picks and assets for the future, while maintaining a team that's essentially just as competitive as ours.

They were 7-16 just a month ago and looked like they were headed for a lost season. They beat the Lakers tonight to go over .500 and seem like they're a play-in team for sure, maybe good enough to advance a round in the playoffs. I think Will Hardy has done a great job there to recover from that bad start, and as a team they've generally outplayed their talent level for a couple of years now.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I guess it's good for Detroit to dump Bagley's contract, but neither Gallo or Muscala can really play at all. Maybe they're finally going to move Bogdanovic now?

Wacky time in the NBA

[SunsRIt]

I see a common theme the last few days. The refs suck and they are being called out.

[Mori Chu]

Lol here's his full rant.

[SunsRIt]

Sounds/looks like he has some pretty strong arguments.

[Shabazz]

Jokic is shooting 81% from the field in his last 9 games on 12 shots/game. He's really insane.

[Kryptonic]

I’d say heave up a few half court shots to knock that percentage down but lord knows he makes them

No Cade and Detroit gets their 4th win

[Split T]

I think the one thing I’m pretty sure about with Detroit is that Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey don’t work together. They should trade one of them this offseason…or at the trade deadline if they get a good offer.
