NBA News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)

So who you all have as your west reserves?

Mine are

Kawhi
George
Booker
Edwards
Sabonis

For quibbling
Fox
Curry
Kyrie
Sengun
AD

AD is for quibbling? His numbers are crazy. I can’t see him not making it.

Yes, but are you really going to give a team that's in the 10th spot, 2 representatives?

[Shabazz]

I do think if we hadn’t gone on this recent run, Booker wouldn’t have made it. I still think it’s not a certainty.

[Split T]

Curry, Ant, Kawhi, and AD are locks to me. The last forward spot is probably PG, but I can’t rule out Lauri, Rudy, or Sabonis. I think the two wild card spots will come down to the guys listed above plus Fox and Booker. I think with the turnaround we’ve made that Booker is in…then I’d guess they pick one of the Kings…I think Sabonis…so Curry, Ant, Kawhi, PG, AD, Booker, Sabonis.

[Flagrant Fowl]

It's going to be a coinflip between Booker and Fox, IMO. Who plays better in the next week might determine which guy gets it.

In reality, I think both will be there because at least one guy will skip due to an "injury".

[Superbone]

So, end of Inside the NBA tonight. They pick their East and West reserves. All but “Suns fan” Charles Barkley have Booker in there. He’s got Fox instead.

Barkley: “I love Devin Booker.”
Shaq: “Obviously, you don’t. Booker’s an all-star. Cut it out.”

[Mori Chu]

Barkley loves snubbing the Suns. Can't tell whether he is trying to show us "tough love" or if he wants to avoid seeming biased toward us, or what, but he pretty consistently picks against us whenever we are in a series or whatever other chances he gets.

Left out Book



He fixed it

I always appreciate when guys can laugh at themselves

[Split T]

Why couldn’t we have picked up someone like this in the offseason? We need a surprise 2-way player that becomes a stud

[Kryptonic]

last week is probably one of the craziest weeks in the nba. I can’t believe how many players scored above 50pts on one week, just insane.

Both are gone… what was it?

[Kryptonic]

I'll forever hate the lakers but can't deny the amazingness that is Lebron James. Just incredible.

Was putting the list of guys who’ve scored 70

[Superbone]

I'll forever hate the lakers but can't deny the amazingness that is Lebron James. Just incredible.

They also said on the broadcast that he is the oldest to post a 30+ point triple double. And yeah, nobody has every produced like he has at his age. His most amazing stat to me is having played with over a third of all players to ever play in the NBA.

[Superbone]

Has he learned anything? Look at the very hand how Green keeps his hand in his face.

[ShelC]

Doesn't look as bad from the side view, but still definitely a flagrant. It's Draymond so you never know but I can maybe buy that he was going for the swipe/steal/foul when AD showed the ball up high while they were pressing. And then he says, "shut yo bitchass up, man" to Vanderbilt.

[Shabazz]

Apologies if this was posted:

[TOO]

That's the Bridges this team needs.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I had to triple check the Detroit vs. OKC final score. That might be the most surprising win of the year.

Duren with a big 20/20 game.
