RE: AROUND the NBA: Zion rehabbing apart from team | POR shutting Lillard down - HoosierDaddyKid - 01-12-2022 (01-12-2022, 12:48 AM)SleepingHero Wrote: I still think the comparison is laughable. I don't think 30 games of all-star play upends the 3 year body of work Luka has shown. It's not about Ja vs Luka and who's better. They're both great. It's about the teams and how they were constructed so Memphis is clearly better than Dallas at this point.

He is playing all-star level and wins games for them. But I really believe Dallas beats Memphis in playoffs, no doubt to me we are the stronger team. Luka is another animal in playoffs. Memphis has a better record now, but I think Mavs curve is pointing upwards. RE: AROUND the NBA: Zion rehabbing apart from team | POR shutting Lillard down - hakeemfaan - 01-12-2022 It’s all about flavor of the month. A couple of years ago, Dallas with Luka was supposed to be the next to watch for team. Now it is Memphis with Ja. This season’s win loss records need to be taken with a grain of salt due to unprecedented churn. Main thing is for teams to get into the playoffs. Once there, if healthy, anything can happen. I enjoy watching Memphis. Lately I have enjoyed watching the Mavs more too as the supporting cast have started developing the mindset that they are not there to just be an afterthought to the Luka show. I hope this keeps going even with Luka and KP back. If so, I don’t fear any team if we make the playoffs. Sure we won’t be favorites in a few of the matchups but we are not that far.

Assume 50:50 split for remaining games it only increases his cost by $2500 per game.

Memphis has a better record now, but I think Mavs curve is pointing upwards. You left out Stephen Adams who's out, and Dillon Brooks who's out with an ankle injury, and is probably their best perimeter defender. If both teams are at full strength, not so sure about them beating them in the playoffs. It would be an interesting matchup, to say the least.

Visiting teams with unvaccinated players can play but not unvaccinated home team players? How does that make sense?

From my understanding it's just the Nets ownership taking a strong stand Kyrie could play but the Nets would be fined something like $1k to 5k depending on the number of violations. So nothing compared to his salary RE: AROUND the NBA: Zion rehabbing apart from team | POR shutting Lillard down - Kammrath - 01-12-2022 https://twitter.com/WindhorstESPN/status/1481392182309404681 |
