    That sounds like a lot:

    His 31 missed shots are the most by a player in a game since the 1976-77 merger. The last player to miss that many shots was Rick Barry in 1967, when he went 17-of-50 from the field. Of the 1,534 instances of a 45-point game in NBA history, Cunningham had the second-worst field goal percentage (31.1%), behind only James Harden (20.7%) in 2019.

    Barnes isn't even top 3. Mobley, Cade and Sengun are all easily better players than him. 

    If you count Reaves who went undrafted that yr he might not be first team from that draft.    Giddey is playing better than him right now too.

    Not sure how he could even be considered the best let alone "not even close" when there are multiple guys that have won all league awards and led their teams to the playoffs.   Something Barnes has not done

  4. There are plenty of bad orgs out there.     Every "untradeable" contract in recent memory was traded.   CP3, Dame, Russ, etc.    If they decide to trade him they will get it done and will be the team getting picks.  Book it.

    im officially giving my worst contract in the league from Paul George  to Lamelo Ball after last night

     

    Charlotte aint doing shit with that clown at the helm. last night 8-19, 18 pts, -8 +/-. and about 6-7 shots that were absolutely horrible- one footed 3s, turn to dribble outside of the arc & cast it, runners from 18 feet away. the guy also looks like an idiot. 

    Charlotte owes them 168M over the next 4. i dont see anyway they get better so long as he's playing. Luckily for them he'll hurt his ankle soon and miss the 60% of the season.

    He's always been a fucking clown.   Never had to listen to any kind of coaching.   He's just out there playing pickup basketball.

    Their roster is a fucking mess. Zero leadership or synergy. 

    They might be doing Willie a favor. I actually think he's a pretty damn good coach. 

    And Embiid is absolutely getting in the Hall. The basketball HOF is kind of a joke. 

    As will Derrick Rose

    Question for the masses, as I am biased af and cannot answer objectively as a Celtics fan:  Is Joel Embiid a Hall of Famer?
     

    Never played anywhere close to 82 games, and only 65+ 2x.  Even in the 20-21 Covid season he only played 51/72.  Ignoring his 1st 2 seasons w/ no games played and this current season, he's only played in 62% of the regular season for his career.  If you need to play in ~80% of games today to get an award, how do you justify the HOF for someone who played so little? (I'm aware it's not an NBA award)

    Never so much as played in the Conf Finals, much less an NBA Finals.  As far as I can tell, the only 2 players in the HOF that didn't play in a Conf Finals are Bernard King and Drazen Petrovic.


    Conversely, he does have an MVP trophy, was All NBA 1x, and the Basketball HOF is much more like the Hall of Pretty Good. 

    I'm pretty sure there arent any MVP's that arent in the HOF.   I wouldnt consider him a HOF level player but he will get in.   The Basketball HOF is prolly the easiest to get into.   And neither Grant Hill nor TMac played in a Conference Finals.   I'm betting there are others too.

    Inside the nba load has 1 more episode next week until Christmas

    The novelty has worn off for me anyway.   Last night was brutal and back to same old wack takes.

  9. They really appeared to luck out with Edgecombe.   They already have a young star in Maxey.     Go with them and the other young pieces they have and move on from Embiid.   He's not really useful at this point

    I honestly think phillys more dangerous when centered around Maxey and Edgecomb vs having to wheel Embiid and PG around in wheel chairs and make sure they "get theirs" vs just going out and playing loose.

     

    bet they cant wait until 29/30 when theyre both off of the books 

    I could see one of them getting waived and stretched this coming offseason

    I pulled Zarko's name out as a joke, then actually looked up what he has been up to.

    One, he's had multiple heart attacks.

    But then check this out, if Wiki is to be believed.

    Hell, MY family isn't this kind to each other:

    Pop is a fucking dude!
