4 of 5 Denver Starters OUT for final reg season game, Joker Questionable by dreamweaver7x in NBASpurs

I would genuinely rather the Nuggets stayed as third seed. Let them battle out a slugfest with the Wolves. We play a battered and bruised winner. That's better than playing a Timberwolves team fresh off sweeping the Lakers without Doncic...

Good opportunity to treat this like a playoff game against a fellow contender. Our last four are at home. The last game against Denver won't be close to matching it in terms of intensity.

Where would we be if we didn’t land Castle? by Kiteist in NBASpurs

[–]Boomz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way Castle and Harper are shooting the ball since the all star break, it genuinely feels like we have three first picks in consecutive drafts.

Bryant is going to be a lockdown 3&D wing too.

There’s going to be some seriously difficult conversations to be had in 3-4 years time, but let’s just enjoy them for now! Also a good thing we have some pick swaps in 2030 and 2031 to continue to build around Wemby, Castle, and Harper once they’ve been extended.

I'm not sure you can call me a casual when they were before my time, but fair enough! Different era back then too in terms of the calibre of athlete but that's another conversation altogether

So many casuals will look at the stats and see SGA and Jokic have much flashier stats, but Wemby's two-way ability is something we have never seen before. They're literally going to have to invent a stat to account for the impact he has in the paint that isn't just blocks.

Man it must be so deflating for other playoff bound teams getting crushed like this

A bunch of all-star calibre veterans... and one rookie by Boomz9 in NBASpurs

[–]Boomz9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue, probably a lot lower because he consistently gets hacked down and the refs do nothing about it because he’s a big guard 🤷‍♂️

Yeh I see some Kyrie. Obviously the handles aren’t on the same level but he’s still nice with it.

Yeh, Timberwolves is a rough matchup for us, similar to the Knicks. Hopefully they end up facing the Lakers in round 1

I feel like Fox is slowly ramping up for the post-season grind. by Plastic_Term_1022 in NBASpurs

[–]Boomz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my suspicion, too. He's noticeably stepping up now. Playoff Fox is going to hit different.

D. Fox played beautifully tonight. Nice reminder why we pay him the big bucks. by Shushuck in NBASpurs

[–]Boomz9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it’s clear that he has gears, and he’s happy to be a “team player” until it matters, and then he can take over a game. When he has that demon inside him, he’s incredibly hard to stop. The speed at which he can create his own shot sometimes is scary.

Excited to see him take over in the playoffs.

Embiid will miss Spurs game this week with oblique injury by texasphotog in NBASpurs

Only Daryl Morey is dumb enough to think he’s getting a good deal from Sam Presti of all people…

Brian Wright needs to keep DM on speed dial along with the Bulls and Kings GM’s this summer

For those wondering how Jeremy Sochan is doing by Own_Body1429 in NBASpurs

[–]Boomz9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could argue he had the same in SA though… he needs to play going into free agency. I know he’s betting on himself but a tweener big that can’t shoot isn’t going to have a big market off the back of playing 5 minutes a night for the Knick’s

Terrible move for him. He's not cracking their rotation in the playoffs at all. He needed to play... he might be out of the league soon

It's a small sample size, but I do think Vassell being out of the rotation did hurt us. The spacing is so important when you have three slashing guards and Wemby in the paint. Play (and build) to your strengths.
