The Nets bench 

One thing I have always noticed it seems to always be the teams with no winning culture who react to a teammate being dunked on while sitting on the bench. (Not a dunk but see the Hawks bench when Larry Bird gave them 60 in New Orleans in 1985.)

With that said, it would have been hard for me to sit still with a facial like that.

 

[buc em]

Agreed. Also it's encouraging to know that Jah, Embiid and Saric get along. Maybe it's Embiid's personality, but it's cool to see.

They love eachother. Ben tweets out Sauce tweets every game too

I'm sorry but Okafor and Noel both gotta go. I want Holmes getting all the backup center minutes, we can get some random backup center in a trade to have as depth behind him and I know Simmons is gonna play "point guard" but he won't be guarding that position so i still want him, Dario and Ersan getting all the PF minutes. Grab what we can for both of them or we'll end up with absolutely nothing for them

 

[j rain]

behind every dunk on, there's somebody playing matador d. Bennett got his teammate killed. Wish people focused on this aspect more.

Larry Legend.

Lakers have lost 8 straight

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lakers really depend on Russell to set the pace.. so when he got hurt, at the same time as a surging Nick Young, it really effected their balance. It is what it is, he just came back from injury hopefully they can regain a rhythm 

Hopefully they're not as trash as they're showing to be during this particular stretch. I feel like they will get back on track

 

[Peep Game]

The Nets bench 

They all tried to compose themselves at the same time

The real gems are the reactions of the three dudes behind the bench, specifically the dude in the hoodie

I'm just going to say, I watched that entire Phila game and.....I'm not sure that Jah/Embiid can't play together was the problem.

Embiid just looked off and Jah was buckets from jump.

Embiid got his looks, he passed on most, and turned it over once of twice and then that funky *** rotation they have where he plays 4 min rests 4 min plays 4 min or whatever TF it is threw him off even more.

I for one would like to see that lineup  several more times and let them play, together, and eat together.

I can see it working.

Can it work sometimes? Yes, I'm sure it could. But Jah will still be worthless on defense and the bigger problem is that Holmes is really good as well and is a big plus on defense and you don't need to run plays for him to score either. So either way it seems like Jah is worth more to us in a trade than being actually on our team.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Scola got me dying the most since I wouldn't expect him to react for whatever reason

Last note on the Lakers, I feel like they also miss Black's energy. If anything they're getting exposed in terms of if they're not completely healthy they can't fit and fill roles with others

 

[a-friend]

No love for 90% FT hack-a-DJ ?

9/10 like foul me again chicken head

Sidenote: Lakers don't even have a PG right now. Exposed?...meh sure, every game every team is exposed on their weakness. LAL was so deep they just kept swinging and landing and swinging and landing. Told you after week 2 I thought they were on a sneak Tank all slick like. Now, they're just missing everything that made them kind of nice.

 

[Peep Game]

That eurostep dunk from Duh Rose In was filthy

 

[mgrand15]

I don't watch D'Lo too much and I normally like him as a player but tonight all he was trying to do was draw junk fouls. Flailing on every jump shot - wasn't even worried about making the shot if there was anyone near him. Had no impact.

It's crazy how weak Ingram is. FN Bojan Bogdanovic's eyes light up whenever hes on the floor. Probably reminds him of his Europe days.

 

[a-friend]

Wouldn't mind having Bojan in OKC. Give us him and Kilpatrick for Kanter.

Kanter is never going to get more than 19mpg

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Boggers deserves better, I too would like to see him on a different team

Damn a-friend, you really disowning Kanter like that? 

 

[a-friend]

Yea man.
I just can't be happy about Kanter being relegated to his 19 minutes either.

It's like Jokic being the best player in Denver and getting no run.

Our bench may be worse than Washington with Oubre now balling, and Kanter still can't get tick

 

[OTG]

That eurostep dunk from Duh Rose In was filthy

whew

 

[Quincy McCall]

Dragic is so washed.

Been having one of his best seasons since '13 this year

 

[Quincy McCall]

Liggins looking like a solid pick up for the cavs

Was great in Sioux falls

Looks like this kid all grown up.

 

[Moheezy]

Thunder, pacers and Rockets all have interest in Rudy Gay.

Also, Gordon Hayward he will "prioritize competing for a championship" thus summer. Does this mean he is out?? Where can he go? The Celtics?

Not sure this man was human back then.

I feel like it's almost a guarantee he picks the Celtics. I'd be shocked if he doesn't.
