Is it OK to touch another man's head?...It's the Official Week 9 Thread!/Week 10 thread (hans gone?)

Incidentally Kidd seems to be against three point shooting in general, or at least where his young 'uns are concerned - they just never shoot them.

Yep, cant believe Jabari has only taken four 3 pointers this year, and I know at least 2 of them have been end of buzzer heaves from like half court or further.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Middleton and Mayo are the only competent 3 point shooters we have.

Jabari isn't known for his 3 pointers and Giannis is still early days in developing the shot.

MCW just bricks any 3 point he attempts, so I'm glad he is not taking many anymore.

So we took on the coach-like-a-penishead tactic and hacked Drummond to the line. It worked.

NBA needs to do something about deliberate fouling, especially off ball.

 

[fidstar]

Dirk now the 6th all time leading scorer in NBA history - as usual accomplished with little fanfare.

But Kobe had a dunk, when his team was down double figures in the 1st quarter! Far more important.


Seriously though, a great achievement. Next spots a big step though. As many points between 5th and 6th as there is between 6th and 17th.

 

[fidstar]

Thought I'd try something new here - a brief recap of the day. Feedback/suggestions welcome.


* Since making disastrous starts, the Kings (1-7) and Pels (1-11) have gone 11-10 & 8-8 respectively. If there's a year to start slow in the West, this is it.

Throw Houston into that conversation. Started 2-7 and now 13-8 since.

Did you see when he didn't take back to back open threes shortly before that? Dude is embarrassed.

lol as if I watch the Lakers by choice.

Seriously though, disappointed I missed the blue moon.

3 years ago was great, last two have been tough to swallow mate.

No cohesion. Only blokes busting a gut consistently are Tucker and Price

Very excited about Booker, but that is about it.

I think we could've given Wroten a bit longer. He just came back from a serious knee injury. I can think of 3 or 4 other guys who should've been waived before him.

 

[stewie griffen]

Wroten waived? Wow

 

[danielnajdek]

Wroten waived? Wow

Yep just saw it on my Facebook page.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Wroten waived? Colour me surprised.

 

[danielnajdek]

I'm not surprised by what my team does anymore. Biggest joke in the NBA.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Wroten is a terrible shooter - anything outside 3 (!) feet he's in the high 20s for career percentage and he's like 65% from the line. Couple that with leading the league in turnovers per 36 minutes this year and you get waived.

 

[ioppolo]

 

[mitchzz]

WTF Philly!?... Wroten has potential and will be decent somewhere else. Philly have so many point guards at the moment it seems

 

[stewie griffen]

Tony finished his sixer career with more turnovers than made field goals

This season, Wroten's shooting 31.4 percent on drives and 33.8 percent from the field

Knicks have an open roster spot.....

what a joke the timing is terrible

 

[stewie griffen]

He'll get paid out and will have a chance to land somewhere that isn't philly

Could work out for him....

 

[stewie griffen]

Tony Wroten was the longest tenured Sixer at 2.34 years before being released. That distinction now belongs to Nerlens Noel at 2.27 years.

just from the perspective that he just came off injury and you do that lol

 

[Atlanta_Cats]

Why on earth do the sixers waive wroten, I get he may not be a starting caliber pg, but I mean there are players on that roster that have far less ability, I mean where do I start
T.J. "should be in a video room and not on the court" McConnell
Richaun Holmes - who is he?
Christian wood - who is he?
JaKarr sampson
etc.

But still have trust in #theprocess
