    The schedule is relentless right now. Teams are playing games every other night with back-to-backs included right now, and will be for weeks. Compressing the schedule this way has run down everyone. VanVleet was doing an interview yesterday where he talked about it being all business this year because the joy is dead.

    The Mavs have been running a 7-8 man rotation since the end of January and watching them, that entire team is visually spent.
    I mean, this whole season has basically been Adam Silver (and the owners) giving away all the goodwill they garnered last season with the players, so it's not surprising players feel this way.

    Kira is so bad dear god

    Zion's been meh on offense for his standards, but strangely looks as sprightly on D as I've seen from him in a while. Weird.

    Again Zion gets no call and we get called for the same thing on the other end. Pathetic refs. The blatancy of fixed is apparent. Still people pay to watch. Lol!

    Yea this game has me question the whole notion that Kira plays within himself. He might just be limited and not as quick as advertized.

    Steven Adams can't catch a basketball....

  10. #35
    Roberto Duran would be proud of Steven Adams.

  11. #36
    Butterfingers Adams is now showing up. This team is mentally weak.

  12. #37
    I had no idea how bad Adams' hands were

    Jesus ********ing Christ

    Players are gassed with the schedule grind. Griff needs to call it before players come down with a serious injury that takes them out of next year.


    Spurs got fined for resting. Huhhhh

    Spurs always be getting fined for resting lol. When half the league does it.

    He's been pretty solid on defense for a couple of games now. The improvement has been slow but clear across the course of the season and he's at the point where he's usually fine now.
    Basketball.

    Spurs get fined for resting because they're open about it lmao

    Other teams will carefully co-ordinate it so there's always an injury excuse and they're not resting too many people in the national TV games, so they largely get away with it.

    Spurs are just like ''we're sitting everyone. They're fine but they need to chill for once. We don't care if it's on tv. Fine us.''

    Players are halftime, and their efficiencies:

    Zion: 14pts on 6/11 shooting (54.5%)
    Ingram: 7pts on 3/9 shooting (33.3%)
    Adams: 8pts on 4/5 shooting (80%)
    Lonzo: 0pts on 0/4 shooting (0.00%)
    Bledsoe: 2pts on 1/5 shooting (20.0%)

    Johnson: 2pts on 1/5 shooting (20.0%)
    Naji: 5pts on 2/6 shooting (33.3%)
    Nunnally: 2pts on 1/1 shooting (100%)
    Jax: 4pts on 2/2 shooting (100%)
    Kira: 0pts on 0/2 shooting (0.00%)

    Total shooting efficiency from the team of 20/50 (40.0%) and 1/12 from 3 (8.3%)

    Ooooof

    That?s part of the reason Zion needs to expand his game too. The refs don?t protect him in the paint whatsoever. It?s hard to beat defenses when they can basically cheat to stop you. Maybe Zion needs to flop more. I just don?t know what to say at this point.

    Elfrid Payton is singlehandedly outscoring out entire collection guards.

    With 3 points on 1/4 shooting.
