The Official Bigfooty NBA 2022-3 Week 5 Thread: Coming of Age

[Memphis]

Sixers are not a very likeable team, so people love to jump on them but I see the blueprint for a team that can make a deep run and potentially even go all the way.

To me it comes down to health more than anything, the tools are there. Just need the tools to be available. Although I guess you could say that for a lot of teams lol but you get what I'm saying.

Sixers seem to play better without jim.

Wonder if there was someone else they could’ve got for Simmons that would’ve benefited embiid.

 

[Memphis]

Pelicans are tough às ****

The game really was won (and lost) in the first quarter, when the Celtics bombarded the Pels with a ridiculous amount of 3 points

Pels broke even, probably played better than us over the remaining 3rd quarters, especially in the paint

Still absolutely delighted to get 2 road wins against quality teams without Marcus Smart.

Dekker White and Jaylen Brown picking up the slack for Tatum's poor shooting night

This team is legit !

Pels without Zion who would’ve hurt us in the paint especially without the timelord but good to see the team pull through and get the 9th consecutive win.

Always good to get a W against our traditional rival

 

[Memphis]

Giannis 4-15 from the line is wild.

Bulls are just having a nightmare campaign.

Celtics are on ******* fire.

Missed 11 in a row.

Sixers fans were loving it.

AD carrying the torch when lebron is not on the floor wut?

Another dude off the bench goes bezerk from 3 to keep us at bay. 4 of our losses are by a combined 6 points.

From memory the Suns record in close games last season was stupid good.

Dekker White and Jaylen Brown picking up the slack for Tatum's poor shooting night

19pts and season high 10assists to go with 7 rebounds is still rock solid. I would rather that then just a point scorer. Shows that he is more well rounded and can be more damaging than just getting buckets.

NBA Week 6: No free throw practise allowed

Certainly was mate. A bit of it is not having CP3 directing traffic and also opposition making some tough shots. It happens

Montrezl is 201cm and 108kg and Thanasis is 198cm and 99kg.

Trez went to some kind of military academy but Thanasis grew up on the streets. This would've been an epic fight. I don't really like violence but I am curious here.

Being a fully grown adult millionaire and still needing to go around being the schoolyard bully. He is a truly unlikeable human being

Love seeing Bol Bol do well. Felt bad for him on the day he was drafted, he was treated like a joke

 

[Mazza1234678]

Montrezl Harrell a complete embarrassment

Name a more harmless man in the nba than Giannis ffs

 

[kozi]

All I see is a 6''7 journeyman centre with a strong case of small man syndrome that saw an opportunity to start beef with the best player in the game

 

[nahnah]

Twolves game today is interesting for the Towns/Gobert combo. Traded for Gobert to deal with the Embiid’s of the world and can hide Towns on Tucker. Sort of the exact set up they’d want you’d think

No Harden or Maxey and on a b2b. The sort of game Wolves love to drop

I thought JBB was bad with complaining about calls, Nurse takes it to another level

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Trez is on his last contract. He's in the DeMarcus Cousins and Dwight Howard basket of "Yeah he can play but do we need the distraction?"

 

[nahnah]

Blew a layup to win the game

 

[nahnah]

Would you believe it Nurse doesn’t agree with that foul on Hunter

 

[Mazza1234678]

Why is Nick Nurse such a flog?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Nick Nurse makes Jurgen Klopp seem almost bearable with this constant whinging and melting to refs about calls.

Must be the glasses lol

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Potentially match losing choke by Hunter

 

[nahnah]

What a play by Atlanta to win the game

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Hahah cop that Nick Nurse !

Most enjoyable ending to a non Celtics game this season so far.
