2020-2021 NBA Regular Season thread

a definite case of getting what he asked for, not what he wanted

I feel for the guy

 

Twenty losses in a row. Yet two weeks away from matching the NBA record. And still not the worst Redford in the league.

 

Joe Webb was a very good QB for UAB. In his senior year, he threw for 2,299 yards, 21 TDs, and 8 ints while running for 1,400 more and 14 more TD's. He went to the NFL and was a backup QB then a 3rd/emergency QB while also playing special teams and a little WR. He was known as a good clubhouse guy. Minnesota, Carolina, Buffalo, Houston, Detroit, and the Giants all had him. He didn't get his body too badly broken, made NFL backup money and then the NFL minimum eventually (which still isn't bad money at all) and lasted enough years to qualify for an NFL pension. He is now set for life.

If your guy can't go be an NFL star, that's not a bad ending to his football career. I'm happy for him.

 

We've all seen high ankle sprains where it nags a guy the rest of the season.

 

Exactly. Best case scenario is he's out a month, month and a half.

The high ankle sprain is pretty damn bad.

 

Also, LaMelo done for the year.

Shitty weekend for the NBA.

 

Yeah, to clarify my original post, what I meant was LBJ’s reaction led me to believe he thought immediately that he had suffered a serious injury. And he was right.

 

lol

 

Draymond understands the game at an elite level and is a very good defender, especially with respect to helping and shading off the ball. But, no.

 

The Rockets finally won last night.

 

I was at a Pistons game when Shaq was a rookie and he was dominating them
Until Dennis Rodman went on Shaq
I was going to say he asked but this was the Ron Rothstein era
Anyway, he shoved and harassed Shaq enough to get him off his game while giving up five inches and 100 pounds
Pistons won

 

Agreed. Draymond's anticipation on the D end is amazing; he helps at just the right time to set a trap or slides over when someone is beat THEN anticipates the pass and gets a tip. However "best ever?" Olajuwon, Kareem (try to shoot over him and his agility), hmmm. Pippen was great of course but I don't remember his anticipation like Draymond's. I do remember how Artest could lockdown and muck up anyone (but rules were different then too.)
