Morris recklessly if not intentionally went after Jokic's then-vulnerable knee, he got what was coming to 'im

That's definitely a take.

I hope Morris learned his lesson

GOATcards · 11-20-2023, 02:30 PM

Morris endangered the game's statistically best player thereby potentially costing the NBA mucho dollars, bones, clams, whatever your preferred nomenclature, and the 1-game suspension of Jokic was more like a pat on the back than a slap on the wrist.

Basically like Israeli retaliation against Hamas

strain's called Ztrufflez

The problem is that he gets fouled basically every single play. If they call it all the time it just mucks up the game

The Sacramento Kings are so hard to play against;
They play like the peak Spurs with all their whirring & cutting, but also with speed & force.

What is whirring? I want the Cavs to do it

Garland is so good… and he makes Allen and Mobley that much better

We won’t get dollar for dollar but it’s time

I still want to give him a run to try and fit in with the rest of the team.

He can make a choice.... be a part of the system like everybody else that shared the ball yesterday, or go lead the league in shot attempts somewhere like Brooklyn.

Anybody who watched yesterday's game couldn't have missed the uptick in ball movement that benefited everyone on the court.

Obviously it’s internal

If they think he will sign a max? You figure it out

But if you think he’s bouncing? Today is the day to start

And that comes back to the real question of "Is he bought in"?

Garland had every excuse to take all the shots he wanted yesterday. No Mitchell, Levert, Okoro, or Jerome. Instead he only took 16 and made 10 of them. The team played well and won. If Mitchell ever fully buys in, then I see this team being contenders soon. If not, we're wasting important development time on the long term core of the roster.

I hear ya - post above ! Sacramento Kings are a lot of fun to watch. Fox is amazing, he should soon get his due respect. Leading the league in points Fox is, but a tad short of games played to officially be in the mix

NeedChapmans · 11-20-2023, 08:10 PM

B2B games where Jokic blows a gasket (this time, Malone too).

Denver fixin' to lose to the Pistons / this one should be wild.

tjforce · 11-20-2023, 08:50 PM

Back to Back Jokic disappearing acts!

ninjacookies · 11-20-2023, 08:50 PM

Trevor Noah finally to the bench?

Let that man Ivey cook.

He's letting the FT thing get to him early in the year.

1.7 FT's attempted in the 1st half this season, he's just going to have to figure out a way to bottle the emotions like he did last year.

ninjacookies · 11-20-2023, 09:25 PM

Domestic violence 2-12 from the field. You love to see it.

Melo looking like he's getting his groove back.

I followed LeBron enough to not really worry about top level guys this early in the year.

If there are problems in late Feb, I'll pay attention.

And Detroit still loses.

12 in a row!

They're in real trouble. Cade looking more like an empty calories kind of guy an not someone who is gonna carry a franchise, and if that's the case then the Pistons will be 'rebuilding' for a long time.

Cunningham is not the guy. Keep Duren / Ivey / Thompson and everyone else goes at the deadline for whatever draft capital you can get.

Weaver has had four drafts and if we're being honest, he's probably missed badly on every single pick. Once he unloads the current roster, he goes in the off-season too. The longer he sticks around, the worse it gets (and it can get worse).

Watch them give Cade the rookie max and just go into purgatory....
