Around the NBA: Week 14 (1/20 - 1/26)

It's also a little weird because whenever the Knicks play at Barclays it's basically a Knicks home game.

And then there's this

He is the Buck's version of TOO.

Insult or compliment?

I don't have Nazisonly.com installed.

I was just recalling your reaction to a possible trade where we end up with Dillon Brooks.

Oh, then yes, this is warranted. If they ever acquire Dillon Brooks I'm moving to Seattle and living outside the Sonics future stadium.

[ShelC]

Pretty big loss for the Mavs. Didn't believe they were shopping Gafford, can't imagine they'd be looking to move him now.

[Wally_West]

It’s Nurkin’ time.

[specialsauce]

Nurk would be great for them. Big body, very physical, can hit the 3 ball reliably, smart in the short roll working with Doncic, accepts his role on a reasonable contract.

[Carno]

I see what you're doing...and I like it.

[Mori Chu]

Beal is not as bad as he has been on the Suns. He is definitely as soft and unavailable, but he is capable of 20 ppg when he is engaged. This current stretch is particularly bad because he has checked the fuck out

I don't see why Beal would be a good fit with Dame and Giannis, both guys who like the ball in their hands and like finishing plays. IMO it'd be just as good/bad as beal with Book/KD. That is, not so great.

[Split T]

Beal has been better for us when he’s off ball. Beal doesn’t need the ball

Yeah it he can come off the bench and stagger with them, it'll work they just have to stay healthy that's all

He is deadly from the corner three, and generally as a spot up shooter. But if you don't use his playmaking ability you are not remotely getting your money's worth out of him. That was the gross miscalculation when we traded for him. And probably what will happen in MIL too, although mitigated to some extent by the fact that Lillard is a PG unlike Booker.

Just looking at his numbers here, his best scoring situations are off handoffs, cuts, spot up, rolling..not as good in isolation or pnr ball handler. I think you can give him some ball handling responsibilities, but I’d want most of his scoring opportunities starting out off the ball.

[Wally_West]

Smh lol

[Carno]

um... you ARE the bad guy

[Superbone]

um... you ARE the bad guy

Only the bad guys don't know they're the bad guy.

You think anybody’s gonna fall for it?

Guess it doesn’t hurt to try.

Don't forget: HUGE dong.

You said you weren’t going to do that, even in jest.

You have dishonored your family.

[Drewsprocket]

Nurk could unlock Doncic off ball better than Kyrie. Dallas fans can just call him Big D.
