Getting to watch a few games at a reasonable time with these earlier starts (like 8-10pm here). Post-ASB season is often shit but whatever.

Jazz put up a good offensive show in Miami yesterday and a perfect tank loss with rookies flourishing. Defense is still crap. Today had Celtics-GSW on as they are showing it on the BBC and it's a roflstomp, Celtics have twice as many points last I looked (like 100-50). Insane.

Celtics look head and shoulders above everyone when they're cooking, stacked team on both ends. But both Jays still feel like moody players and I wont be surprised if in playoffs they choke

i agree, the Jays are too moody. Don’t see them winning a chip

Awful injury for Towns @Osman

 

[Osman]

Heart breaking timing. Very promising 1st seed season over, now playoffs will be another boring underhanded affair, KAT was half our offense with Ant, latter now will get doubled or triple teamed. Rest are defensive specialists or role players except Naz Reid who is good scorer. Not enough.

 

[JuveJay]

First I read it was a bad one, then Woj said it wasn't as bad as first thought. Presume it is a season injury then? Basketball is particularly annoying with these injuries as they do decide seasons.

 

[Osman]

It's been conflicting reports, initially out indefinitely and for the season if no procedure on meniscus, just resting til it heals, which takes longer, season over.


If procedure to remove it, then out for a month, back at 2nd round playoffs (if we go that far), since it would take weeks to recover his playing form after that month (so unlikely to be a factor for playoffs) .

Usually removing part of the meniscus will heavily effect a players athleticism. So hope he recovers well. Even if he is a big he has been a deceptively athletic one with his drives.

With first game kats out for, and doom gloom feeling over the team without a star player . Its nice of the young main star to remind everyone he got this

@Rockets nasty dunk and even more hilarious commentating

 

[Rockets]

This is no-brainer a top 10 dunks of the season and prolly top 5 or 3.

@JuveJay @Rockets @Strickland @Salvo @Post Ironic

Another month another dunk of the year candidate by you know who lol



John Collins was posterized so severely he limped off shaken up, didnt return for game and was checked for possible concussion. Ant threw it down so hard he dislocated his finger, had to go out and put it back in place.


just 22 but prolly has already top few nastiest poster dunk catalogue ever lol Mj, Blake and him lol (if he keeps it up will surpass Vince Carter's catalogue), and since he does this so often each season (its monthly! ), he might surpass them as crazy as it sounds lol

Teammates' reactions to poster dunks are always fun to watch, esp those on the bench.

Is it me or he dislocated the finger on his left hand (dunked with his right). Not sure what hastened there.

Hi hit Collins face (head) with his left hand

 

[JuveJay]

Great dunk for sure lmao. Seems a lot for two points - dislocated his finger and Collins got a head contusion from the finger contact (sounds like a great excuse for 5 games' tanking, sorry, I mean injury). Dunking hurts, so fair play to these guys who keep on doing difficult ones.

 

[Osman]

He did, was crooked after dunk, he winced, showed his teammates, and went out to get set back straight. Then came back in to shoot foul free throw.

 

[Ronn]

Had not enjoyed a basketball game like Knicks Spurs in a long while. Brunson had an unbelievable 61 point game. Wemby had a 40/20 game also.

 

[Rockets]

I'm sold on that Wemby is generational talent. And though it might be a bit earlier to judge but it seems he is not injury prone as people think.

btw is spurs still tanking this season?
