The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

You have yet to demonstrate the downside genius.

You read my post ri…. Oh ya you’re an idiot.

Warriors lost again tonight. They're 2-6 over their last 8 games. They now have road games coming up @Dallas and @Denver. Could be interesting.

If healthy, the Timberwolves are going to be a sneaky difficult matchup for someone.

How many times have we had 1-3 seconds left on the clock and made no effort to put up a shot? I’m not asking for this play. I’m asking for a modicum of acknowledgement that, while the odds of getting a basket aren’t high-percentage, the percentage is high enough to not be worrying about your personal percentages and selfishly dribbling out the clock.

In the playoffs we have done that?

Where is the bold prediction thread?

Phoenix and GS lose in the first round this year. Both are winning way above their rate and Phoenix is not good without CP3, they are back to barely a playoff team. If he isnt back for round 1 they lose, but if he is back and healthy they are the team to beat obviously. GS is the about the same as last year come playoffs. Grizzlies were a tough team last year despite us beating them and are improved this year. I think they are going to be really hard to beat. Lakers are a joke, which is great. Denver is all over the place but they have the potential to beat any team in the playoffs.

Memphis lost tonight in Boston...we're now just one game behind them in the loss column.

We are literally one loss out of the 3 seed and two losses out of the 2 seed with 20+ games to go. It’s up for grabs.

Warriors have a tough schedule over the next couple of weeks. They have B2Bs where Steph and Klay might take a night off.

Can't believe we lost to the Lakers twice this season. They are so ****ing awful.

Blowing double digit leads in the 4th quarter both games on top of it.

Yeah but the last one he left with an injury. We should have run away with that one.

Anyone follow the first Sixers game with Harden?

I really think he found home this time. His and Embiid’s two-man game is already elite. I think they make the finals.

Offensively, Harden on the Sixers has been ridiculous. Between Harden, Embiid and Maxey, someone is always open. I've been watching Sixers games all year and Embiid would work so hard for every shot he took, double and triple teamed. And Maxey was playing PG, and doing a good job for a second year player who is a SG, but he was hesitant and just...slow.

With Harden at the PG...it's nuts. Who are you going to guard/double? Maxey, Embiid and Harden are all averaging something ridiculous, like 25 points each, on 13 shots per night. It's nuts.

Look at this play, Embiid and Harden each take turns taking their guy off the dribble, while Maxey is wide open for a three at the bottom and the play ends with an alley oop to Thyblle. Embiid just laughs at how open he is constantly now.
