The Bigfooty Official Week 15 NBA Thread. Where we lost a universally adorned legend - Kobe Bryant.

[Financialpanther]

They'll have a good playoff team since most teams only go 8 deep but for now yeah they need to make some changes get some shooters jj reddick or even jamal crawford.

Anything will do - right now their second unit is almost being outscored by a 40 year old.

Now thats an alarm surely.
Always rated ennis though.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Damn Marcus when She gets up for it She is so hard to stop.

Much like Mrs Guidance. Wait, wut?

 

[Memphis]

When we out-rebound a team by 20 lol.

 

[danielnajdek]

LOL Philly.

Well at least we are 3-0 against the Celtics.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Lol at those bums saying Trae Young shouldn't be an all-star. Most exciting player to happen to Atlanta since Nique, definitive Franchise player who scorched Pretenidelphia

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Second unit is straight up trash (maybe not Scott) and Embiid 2-7 from the line is woeful.

Simmons gets roasted constantly (sometimes he deserves it for the passiveness) but Embiid for mine gets off too lightly. Blows the mind that the twitterverse thinks Simmons shouldn't even get a reserve berth in the AS Game when Embiid being a starter is taken for granted. Embiid needs to take a good hard look at himself and his effort sometimes.

Couldn't find a gif but this will do playoffs mean more than the regular series.

but if philly are as crap as portrayed to be, 3-0 down to them is pretty embarassing

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Gordon Hayward's return to ASG calibre form is a real game changer for us, if he can maintain his form and Kanter/Theis hold the fort in the east, Boston can win the East. Marcus Smart has shown he can adequately defend Giannis, despite their height difference.

Pretty bullish on the C's prospects for rest of the season, obviously Giannis and the Bucks are well deserved favourites, but I am sure we have the measure of any other East team come playoff time, arguably aside from the Raps (Lowry always Slays us)

Boston are in a decent position again to have a fair crack at it.

Embiid shouldn't have been a starter or even in the All Star game. He has been horrible and also missed a few games injured. Probably says more about the big men in the East that he got the starting spot.

Still 3-0. I'd take that considering a few years back we could never beat Boston.

True - Embiid is lucky to be a big in the east, if he were in the west - surely not a lock for even an reserve spot on the All Star game (would likely given the fans love him but you know).

While our 2nd unit is lead by Cam Reddish and Cam Reddish's grandfather.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

If he stayed healthy/didn't miss so many games Marcus Smart should have been considered an All Star Reserve. Hands down a top 3 Most Valuable Player for Boston, without question.

I’d have him behind Kyrie and Terry Rozier

 

[RookiePick]

And everyone thought this matchup was going to be boring.

 

[DT_35]

Who the f*** is Niang? Lol. Always some absolute spud tearing us up

 

[NSWCROW]

Flicked the switch

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Not sure how Utah got back into this game.

Clarkson has been massive, think he’ll turn out to be a good signing

 

[SloaneysDanger]

This Jokic bloke is pretty good in clutch time.

 

[NSWCROW]

....the * even IS this guy ???

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Donovan Mitchell celebrating his first all star call up with 4p, 5r and 8a. 1-12 from the field with 4 turnovers.

 

[Memphis]

And lakers getting blown out by 32 isn't?
But again playoffs matter more than the regular season to me anyways.
Also hypothetically speaking if they sweep us in the regular season and then we beat them in the playoffs is that more embarrassing?

 

[Memphis]

Still 3-0. I'd take that considering a few years back we could never beat Boston.

Eh but either way both teams get up for the match up no matter where they're placed on the table lets be honest.
