2021-2022 NBA Season

I'll call out Duncan Robinson finally. He got a four year, $80 million contract and has certainly **** the bed, stat-wise. Does he have an instagram-gf he can dump?

I totally agree. Some guys get the money and they are never the same. Tyler Herro should be starting. If not Herro then start Max Strus. Both Herro and Stus can score
at will and play much better defense all day long. I like Duncan Robinson but he is only a shooter where Herro and Strus can beat you from inside or outside. It's time
for Duncan Robinson to come off the bench. That may help him get his confidence and shooting stroke back!

Quietly, the Wizards have become “White friendly”, with Porzingis, Satoransky, Avdija, and Kispert.

I'm very happy and especially for Corey Kispert. He is one of a very few high white draft picks from last year to given a fair chance to play alot of minutes and now is a solidified
starter. Josh Giddey too but he has been injurred. Hope Porzingis can find a way to stay healthy as that gives them 2 whites in the starting lineup and 4 overall similar to Miami who has 4 guys on the team.

Detroit has screwed over Garza, LA has done the same to McClung and finally San Antonio to Wieskamp. I would take these guys even above Kispert talent wise but
that's how it goes in this anti white sports world we live in. Again I'm so happy for Kispert as he is only 21 and will continue to get better for a long, long time. I just
want to see some other teams give these youngsters a chance. They really hate athletic white guys. The league goes our of their way to screw them over.

I'm really amazed to see Casey Jacobsen in the booth this weekend; he was a white Michael Jordan by many means.

I would start Strus and continue to have Herro come off the bench and play big minutes. I want him to win the 6th Man Award this year.

But yes, Duncan Robinson should be coming off the bench as their designated spot shooter. I see him in a similar vein as Mike Miller.

Also, Luke Garza is getting wasted. Give him minutes and he will do very well. I think the NBA will waste ha career as they did with Tyler Hansborough. Funny thing was whenever Tyler got extended minutes he played very well. But can’t have that.

Throw in Raul Neto as well!

Garrison Matthews(6'5 210) has had a solid season for The Rockets. He was mentioned previously in this thread and has managed to play himself into Houston's lineup! Averaging 11ppg and 3rpg in 62 games.

Another American Guard is John Konchar for The Grizzlies. He's averaging 4.5ppg and 4.5rpg coming off the bench. He's also 6'5 210lbs.

Good to see some Young Shooting Guards clawing out roles in The League! From Small schools too! Lipscomb and Purdue-Fort Wayne. Pretty wild.

The Washington Wizards have become a really good team to watch. Not only do they start 3 white guys but they have 2 more off the bench. Porzingis
has lifted everyones level of play. Who knows, they may make a run at the playoffs. They beat the 2nd best team record wise today! Here is how
our guys did in the big win over the GS Warriors.

Washington Wizards Box Score:

(Starters)

K. Porzingis 23 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot
Corey Kispert 25 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists
T. Satoransky 9 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal

(Bench Players)

Deni Avdija 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal
Anthony Gill 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block

Too bad Raul Neto didn't get to play. Here is a pic of Anthony Gill. It looks
good enough to me.

After 4 years toiling between the G-League and on the end of the Spurs’ bench, Drew Eubanks has emerged as a productive starter for the Trailblazers. The 6’9” power forward from Oregon State has finally been allowed to play real minutes, and has shined. Last night he scored 27 points with 14 rebounds on 12/14 shooting. He’s been with the Blazers for 16 games and has averaged 13.7 pts and 8.9 rebounds with 64.8% shooting. He’s a true power forward who does not shoot 3s.

It looks like the Blazers have found a gem, and hopefully he’s rewarded with a decent contract. Funny how the “genius” Greg Popazit let this guy rot for 4 years.

 

[Bucky]

Good to see that perseverance from Eubanks. Racial apprenticeship finally ends and he's a productive true PF!

Good article highlighting the importance of "Glue Guy" John Konchar!

Matthews signed an extension for The Rockets at 2mil for 1yr. He should be Starter/6th man going forward. Seems like they believe in him And money is right.

For anyone interested the Mavs are blowing out the Lakers. It's halftime in a blowout for the Mavs.

Luka Doncic hss 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists at the half. I feel a huge triple double coming on. I wish the game were closer as I would love
to see Doncic go for 40 to 50 points but in blowouts they will probably limit his minutes. Bertrans and Kleber are playing good too.

 

[white lightning]

Doncic ended up with 34 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 1 steal for a Triple Double. He could have scored alot more but that wasn't needed as they game was
over before halftime. The Mavs are really playing some great basketball. I think this is the year they finally get out of the 1st round of the playoffs and they may just
make a run at an NBA Championship.

I was looking at a free agency list for next year in the nba. Alot of big names including Nikola Jokic and Tyler Herro to name a few. Even Moritz Wagner
of the Orlando Magic is available. Maybe the Mavs or some of the other teams that we like can build on what they have already.

Can you guys imagine both Doncic and Jokic on the same team. They would be very tough to beat. Then if they added Herro. Wow that would be cool.

 

[icsept]

Doncic with 35/9/13 in a win over Cleveland.
Jokic with 37/13/9 in a win over Indiana.

Two of the top 5 players in the league. Neither has any all-star teammates. Both are on fire heading into the playoffs. Right now, Dallas and Denver would meet in the first round.

 

[icsept]

Heat beat the Celtics. Strus and Herro both getting 30+ minutes. Heat are the number 1 seed in the East right now.

 

[icsept]

Wizards beat the Magic. Porzingis scores 35 and Franz Wagner 28. Porzingis seems to have found a good fit with the Wizards.

That would be pretty sweet! Luka and Joker are already good buddies. Their skill sets are similar in many ways so it would be interesting to see how they mesh.

I’m glad Strus is starting over Robinson now. It’s to bad they didn’t trade Duncan to a team that needed a shooter.

 

[white lightning]

I believe Max Strus is also a free agent this summer. He is 27 already and in his prime. I wonder if the Heat will offer him a big deal? If not you would think that
some teams should show interest in this uber athletic guard who can score from inside or outside while playing good defense too!

No playoffs for Lakers !

No playoffs for Lakers !

I love this and it makes all of us here so happy. Lebron is like Tiger Woods. They never stop talking about him. Yet even with the Lakers struggles they left Mac McClung on
their South Bay Lakers G League Team all year long. What did McClung do? He led them to the playoffs and is the star player of their team. Last night in the first night of the
NBA G League Playoffs he scored 27 points with 10 assists and 3 rebounds to win their first playoff game. Way to go Mac Attack!

Not once did I hear a msm talking head talking about Lakers neglecting their talented G League Star! Wasting away!

The Mavs are totally destroying the Trailblazers as they are up by over 30 points going in to the 4th quarter. Luka Doncic was clearly fouled at the end of the first half attempting
a 3 point shot. The defender grabbed him by the shoulder. The ref ignorred it and refused to call a foul. Doncic argued with the ref and they gave him his 11th technical foul of the
season which means he is suspended for the final game of the year. It was a horrible call and made worse by giving him a technical foul to Doncic for him speaking the truth. Oh well.

With 1 quarter to go Doncic has 39 points, 11 rebounds, 7 asssists and 1 blocked shot. They probably will sit him for most if not all of the 4th quarter.
