Celtics really should call up Tacko Fall

elsewhere · « **Reply #7041 on:** December 4, 2019, 06:27:48 pm »

As much as I liked Spurs beating the Rockets, state of that refs.. How do you miss Harden's dunk and not credit 2 points to Rockets for God's sake?

How is Kanter doing so far for the Celtics?

Imagine scoring 111 and getting beat by 47!

Was at that game, very weird! Harden pulled within a point of his record with quarter left. Mad.

Not bad at all, starting to get a lot of love from fans online and in arena. He's obviously a top gent and part of the feel good vibe. He's only so so on the defensive glass but improved on other end and sets some lovely picks for Kemba. Overall the celtics have lots of solid players but Kanter is the only other than Theis taller than 6'6" in socks, and he's no enforcer. Tacko is a project and his game is raw, but I think he could contribute now. He's a dominating presence in the lower league

That’s a pretty impressive 24 hours for the Lakers to be fair!

Kanter is doing well on the offensive end, good rebounder. Personally, I don't think Tacko is ready yet. Saying that would be nice to see him involved a bit more, but at this stage whats more important to his development, playing a few mins in the 3rd/4th quarter for the Celtics or getting regular minutes in the lower league? If he carries on though he could become more involved after the All-Star break.

mallin9 · « **Reply #7047 on:** December 5, 2019, 06:12:59 pm »

That’s the correct approach. I am just full-on hyped on him. Putting up 16/18’s with a couple blocks? Pick him up!!!!

"Luka Doncic has at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the 18th straight game. That ties Michael Jordan for the longest such streak in NBA history."

Rumors say Becky Hammon could be first female coach in the league as Knicks consider hiring her.

Now all alone on 19.

Kind of surprised the record is so low, considering Westbrook and Oscar both had triple double season averages.

The Brooklyn Nets with/without Kyrie Irving this season:

* with: 4-7 (.364), 116.8 PPG, 119.5 Opp PPG, -2.7 DIFF, .450 Opp WPCT

* without: 9-3 (.750), 108.8 PPG, 106.8 Opp PPG, +1.9 DIFF, .476 Opp WPCT

Hayward came back and played well

GreatEx · « **Reply #7058 on:** December 11, 2019, 07:29:42 am »

Jazz have basically bet the farm on Conley and lost. Even gave up future picks for one shot at a title. Dark times await.

Broad Spectrum · « **Reply #7059 on:** December 11, 2019, 01:26:57 pm »

Still mad seeing Warriors bottom of the West, even with everything that has gone on.

Raps fans showing their class last night, nice tribute to Kawhi.

Rudy Gobert has just got a double double within 9 minutes!!

Tacko is good. Now. Missing ingredient etc.

These fucking world champions

Sixers are almost unbeatable at home.

GreatEx · « **Reply #7065 on:** December 25, 2019, 11:38:46 pm »

Jazz have finally given up on Exum. Sad he never made it, but this decision came a couple of years too late. Jeff Green also waived. Looks like, aside from Bojan, the summer was a complete cluster.

What's the story with The Town versus H-Town on the jerseys of Warriors and Rockets?

Tbf most of the sides in the East are strong at home can see some long series taking place in the playoffs. On Philly I think just like last season this team is built for the playoffs rather than the regular season.

Probably just a marketing thing to sell more jerseys

Clippers v Lakers was a great game. Heck of a comeback by the Clips.

kloppagetime · « **Reply #7070 on:** December 26, 2019, 03:51:49 am »

Clippers definitely beat the Lakers in a playoff series Kawhi Vs LeBron in late game situations is a mismatch

Broad Spectrum · « **Reply #7071 on:** December 29, 2019, 12:25:09 am »

Jokic with his 7th triple-double tonight, 31 pts. He’s such a beast.

elsewhere · « **Reply #7072 on:** December 29, 2019, 03:34:10 pm »

Clippers are way too inconsistent for me to say they will win the title. Now they lost to Jazz, they are just not looking like a team at the moment.

When Bogdan doesn't play this year the Kings are 0-6. They have zero playmaking outside of him and Fox.

Yet it seems like they are sending him to Lakers for Kuzma, what a steal for Lakers if they pull this off.

these are the same people who picked bagley over luka

Would love a Dallas vs Denver playoff series that would be boss watching Luka vs Jokic going head to head in a series

elsewhere · « **Reply #7079 on:** January 11, 2020, 10:44:01 am »

and now all of a sudden Memphis is the 8th seed in the West. They won 4 straight, 11-6 in their last 17. Ja Morant has been great all season, even Jaren Jackson started to figure it out. They really have some great young talents, hope they make it.
