Plus call a flop on the Magic guy

 

[Imbricus]

Whoa. Didn't think they'd overturn that.

 

[benhogan]

Greg Anthony calling his kids game should be rather interesting

 

[Kliq]

I have respect for Mo Wagner for being in the Adam Sandler movie "Hustle" where he plays an arrogant European draft prospect that is super selfish and ends up being a huge bust in the NBA. Not many active NBA players I think would be willing to play that role.

 

[Average Game James]

Ingles would be a good cheerleader on this team but I don't see where he could get any minutes.

This brings up a bigger point... it's actually hard to figure out any upgrades to a non-injured roster. PP/Kornet are probably fine as 8th/9th men if everyone is healthy.

If you buy Hauser as a legit rotation player (I do) Brad is basically just looking for insurance.

I will admit I haven't been able to come up with the player yet, but the only thing I would be OK with Brad investing significant assets in would be a younger third big that could be an eventual Al replacement. Of course, I am probably looking for a trade target that doesn't exist.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Isaac is a Tatum botherer

 

[radsoxfan]

We can agree to disagree on Ingles - this board is always way too fast to call players toast and I have been guilty myself too - but I agree with your view about the lack of obvious moves.

We may not disagree on Ingles much, he would be useful on 25 teams in the NBA.

Mostly using it as a springboard to mention how hard it is to upgrade this roster.

 

[radsoxfan]

I hate when refs 50 feet from the play call fouls. SO asinine.

 

[128]

Here comes the inevitable Magic run.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

I love D White so much

 

[Euclis20]

Isaac is a Tatum botherer

Quick, tall and doesn't go for up fakes. Yeah that guys a problem.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Isaac is a Tatum botherer

this team with Isaac, Mo Wagner and Banchero is going to drive me nuts with their physicality.

 

[radsoxfan]

I love D White so much

Agreed. Feels like such a perfect compliment to a Tatum/Brown centered roster.

 

[Spelunker]

Jesus, Luke

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Quick, tall and doesn't go for up fakes. Yeah that guys a problem.

His defense is elite. This team is going to be really tough for the foreseeable future.

 

[Imbricus]

Kornet not a great rebounder unfortunately.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Agreed. Feels like such a perfect compliment to a Tatum/Brown centered roster.

I didn’t watch enough Spurs games when he was there.

He’s so slippery when teams run screens on him. Looks so effortless.

 

[128]

Why the hell didn't Mo Wagner play this way when he was a Celtic? He was horrendous.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

KP is getting owned a bit on defense

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Geez. I thought it was Mo Wagner like Mo Bamba. Not like the guy from the Three Stooges.

 

[benhogan]

Moe Wagner has never fouled anyone...just ask him

 

[Kliq]

Why the hell didn't Mo Wagner play this way when he was a Celtic? He was horrendous.

Wagner needed more time to play and adjust to what he could do well in the NBA and he was never going to get those minutes on a team like the Celtics. One of the major challenges of being a contender year after year is player development minutes, which are hard to come by.

 

[bigq]

Wagner is very good.

 

[dhellers]

jb giving up 5 points?

KP bails him out!

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Some quality refball.

 

[SteveF]

This team gets too many techs.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Cs have their hands full today. Buckle up.

 

[radsoxfan]

NBA refs have roughly 500% too much authority.

The techs are a total clownshow

 

[Average Game James]

This team gets too many techs.

They must all curse like sailors or insult mothers because they certainly don't complain more than any other team

 

[Average Game James]

Oh FFS

 

[Spelunker]

KP is such a good paint passer

 

[OnWisc]

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

What a garbage T. What is he supposed to do?

 

[radsoxfan]

NBA refs are just so so so so so so so so so so bad.

It's comical how bad they are.

 

[Average Game James]

I don't get the hanging on the rim tech period. Guy needs to be able to get control before they drop to the ground.

 

[Imbricus]

F***ing refball now. Just send the players home.

 

[JakeRae]

These T’s are awful and ridiculous both ways.

 

[teddykgb]

I will never understand when the NBA refs decided people wanted to watch them

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Look at me, I'm officiating some decorum into this MF'er.

 

[bankshot1]

Too many BS Ts

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Luke Kornet does not agree that he needs to be upgraded.

 

[OnWisc]

I kinda figured that the corporatizing of sports gambling with some franchises having sports books on site would lead to a rapid up scaling of the quality of officiating. Doesn’t feel like that has happened.

 

[dhellers]

make up tech for a make up tech?

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Nice close to the quarter when things could have gotten ugly

 

[JakeRae]

I don't get the hanging on the rim tech period. Guy needs to be able to get control before they drop to the ground.

There’s a point where you start doing pull-ups or hanging past the point of arresting momentum that I don’t mind it. What Tatum did there wasn’t in the ballpark of either of those points and was just arresting momentum while his landing space cleared.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Then we're going to wonder why Tatum is serving a suspension later this year when he has the same total amount of techs as Draymond.

 

[Auger34]

Wait did White get hurt?

 

[JakeRae]

Then we're going to wonder why Tatum is serving a suspension later this year when he has the same total amount of techs as Draymond.

If he gets enough Ts we can use the suspensions to strategically rest him without being penalized. Silver linings….

 

[JCizzle]

That T on Tatum was outrageous.

 

[McBride11]

Unikornet blowing up!
