The official Bigfooty NBA Week 5 thread (Where Carmelo makes his comeback)

[Son of Skeletor]

The refs just called a travel twice in ten seconds at the end of that half.

Chance that happens again come April-June = 0.

Nets play the GoatTown Celtics next Thusday (Aussie Time) in Boston.

Dollar to Donuts, Kyrie Irving will be too gutless to suit up for that game..

The Frank Kaminsky dribble with the back to the basket whilst working away from it is a thing of beauty, stupid, but beauty

Okobo and Carter backcourt would give that Canaan and Harrison backcourt a contest from last year #sunsguardlife

Could trade you for ET Moore... who has somehow managed to get called for travelling twice in one game.

I just want a spasm free back for Ricky. You appreciate how good he is when you are forced to watch this rubbish

Suns have missed a marketing gimmick by not calling this movie 25 Bridges for today

Lillard must be emailing for front court help

Trading punches here tonight in this bantamweight title fight.

Argh, Cam's first missed 3pter of the night. Would have been a huge 3.

Terry Stotts will be the first association coach fired this season . #GoneBeforeChristmas

Why though?

Sigh. Another “character building” experience

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Why though?

He has been there for a while, and leading a team from the conference finals to lottery fodder in a seemingly weakened West this season, despite a mounting injury toll, doesn't bode well for him.

Think the Knicks will fire Fizdale eventually (but not before the All Star Break), but Portland need a fresh start, I firmly believe.

Ingram is delicious

For good reason, he has been a good coach for them.

He performed minor miracles GETTING that team to the WCF in the first place though.

I mean, look at that line-up tonight. Four of their five starters were Tolliver, Hood, Trent, and China-Melo. What is he supposed to do?

Trent, Little and Labissiere all played well for them, and Simons has been doing OK. They lost by 8 on the road to an elite team. His record shows that he does a decent job developing young talent.

Their three best bigs during their conference final run last season were Nurkic, Collins and Kanter, and they're all out/gone for the season. Whiteside is 'meh', and their chosen options at the moment are Tolliver and Labissiere.

If Portland is smart - and they've historically been a pretty stable franchise - they'll recognise this season is a no-go and punt it. Grab a better draft pick, use the expiring Whiteside/Bazemore money to get some better help and work on the assumption that continuity will serve them better than blowing things up.

We caught you at a fortuitous time, brother.

Hope this will cheer you up: your man Postman Pat delivering via air mail.

Reckon he'd be a Bruce favourite?

"Wouldn't you just love to be crossed over by Ingram?"

My boy. I was happy to see Diallo get a run in the Gentry/Nelson cup

Thought your bench played pretty well overall, especially the young guys - Okobo, Bridges, Johnson. Forced quite a few turnovers, scored some buckets too.

Big Cheick actually did OK too. You guys would be even better if you still had Holmes coming off the bench though.

Better performance for Melo today by the looks of it.

Good for him.

Starting line-up today, so no longer a member of the bench crew.

Obviously the first step on a journey to the MVP trophy, then world domination.
