NBA Game Action : 12/29/2020

it is?

 

Go Knicks! (cough)
Go Pistons!
Go Pacers!
Go Bulls!
Go Timberwolves!
Go KIngs!

 

They are both 0-3 to start the season. Someone has to win in this bout of cellar dwellers.

 

Sixers really look like garbage

 

What do ya know? Westbroke decided to go efficient tonight.

12 pts on 9 shots, 11 boards and 6 assists in the first half. That is a very good line for him. But guess what? They are still losing the game to the 0-3 Bulls

 

The bigger the dose I get of Embiid and Simmons, the worse the taste.

 

lol did the pistons front office actually think making a role player like jerami grant their feature player and letting christian wood walk a smart idea. What could they have possibly been thinking with that decision

 

Hasn't their thinking been in question for a while now?

 

Bulls defense might be the worst in the league so i kinda expected Russ to have a decent shooting game in this one, but let's see how it ends lol.

 

At first, there was this: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...suit-houston-rockets-james-harden-sources-say

It's currently 58-30 Bucks over Heat.

At halftime: [ESPN] Heat starting up trade discussions for Harden

lol

 

Maybe Stone knows what he is doing. That being, waiting for things to get going knowing that some contenders are going to have rough starts. Working in his favor, several contenders are having rough starts

Bucks, Celtics, Denver, Dallas, Toronto and Heat if they lose this one. Lakers, Clippers and Nets not looking great either.

 

reality always exposes the frauds. “Simmons not on the table”...lol. Morey probably had everything on the table for Harden.

I’m glad we’ve all awakened to Simmons. The guy hasn’t improved since his rookie year, and shooting isn’t an optional skill for a ball handler.

 

I’m pulling for the Denver package. Best chance that happens is for Jokic to continue to look amazing (he will) but for Denver to struggle. They need to believe the Harden trade is necessary.

Murray, MPJ, Hampton and 2 picks for Harden and Tucker.

 

It's actually good that there's so much parity in the EC now. If it was like a LeBron-led Cleveland or Miami and 7 other teams that are legally required to be in the EC playoffs, then those 7 teams aren't likely to bet their future on trading for Harden.

But if BKN/MIL/MIA/PHI/BOS are all within like, 6 games of each other, one of those teams will trade a lot for Harden because he's a difference maker.

Ditto that for the WC as well.

 

Adding Simmons to my All Fools Gold Fantasy Team.
