Re: 4/6 - 4/19 Games Discussion Thread

So Tatum is making another gigantic midseason near the end of the season leap again. the playmaking and this is the big one finishing through contact at the rim. he becomes really difficult to defend against. and the Cs are back as long as there's no injuries because their bench is wow really bad.

Steph is insane. dude is incredible don't know how anyone could hate him. one of the best national TV games in a little bit.

I think some of it could be the way the media coverage of him has been in the past few years. Sometimes, I agree that it can tend to go a little overboard with how they slurp him so much.

Not taking anything away from his historic level of shooting, but I do understand how that could be annoying to people.

Damn, Spurs put it on the Suns. More of the young dudes, Pop, and less of DeMar, Rudy & Patty.

Yep. While of course putting the ball in the basket is the primary goal of the game, there is a sub section of pundits and fans that seem to now think that 3 point shooting is practically the only criteria by which a great player, especially on the perimeter, should be judged and it makes for incredibly shallow and repetitive discussions about the sport.

Julius obviously put in alot of work in the off-season. I didn't even know he could play like this.

First I want to say Julius has had these shots for years in his game. People just started catching on. And his shooting% on these shots have been insane. I've been in his corner since his rookie season.

Jabari Parker had a nice game off the bench. He might take Romeo minutes if he's not careful.

I was going to say that was day that's last night's advance footwork play of the night

That was such a fun game.

Curry could be a advance footwork play of every night he goes off. I wish there was a slow mo of all his buckets throughout the night.

My favorite part of watching Curry play. Is watching the defenders reaction to the ball going in. It's probably the best thing in sports. The defender being completely defeated.

Re: 4/6 - 4/19 Games Discussion Thread

Does anyone know how a FA like Jabari Parker gets any 5 on 5 time? It must be difficult to keep in shape already. But actually game time speed all the time. Must be tough. Anyone know the answer?

These guys are plugged in to all the spots. You still see guys like Joe Johnson. JR Smith hoop everyday.

I loved Jabaris approach to the game past night.

All hustle points and banged the boards. Thats how you get deep 4th quarter minutes in your first game.

Celtics bench 9-15 being hot *** helps get you 4th quarter minutes in your 1st game helps too.

Cheap and seems like a perfect fit for this team. When Brown or Tatum go to the bench. Like 24th said. Get all those hustle and garbage points. I could see them leaning on him from time to time. He's got a lot of talent.

Raptors fined by the NBA for resting guys who weren't injured.

Their first game since the fine, they're not declaring their injury report.

They're really in "don't care mode".

From what I’ve read, it had more to do with the lack of transparency than it did the actual decision to sit guys out.

I expect more teams to do this over the next month as the playoffs get closer and teams start turning their focus towards that.

Spurs got fined too, specifically for resting guys.

Yeah, the Jazz used "injury management" or something of the sort yesterday for Gobert, Conley and Favors and that seemed fine

Lonzo with a tiny mistake and living a shooter open with a3 point lead. They almost had them. Should of let them get the layup [emoji23]

Sucks no Jimmy Butler for this Nets game.
