NBA Weekly Thoughts [11/12-11/18]

I think that's what makes the Kings more annoying. They have weapons! Lots of them actually.

I mean, he has a really horrible disease so I can't blame him for being unpredictable and hard to get a read on, but he and the Rockets should have been aware of that before they did this NBA dance.

I don't know why he thought he could handle the NBA. I also don't know why the Rockets thought he could handle it.

I think the Rockers thought he would just "get over it," which probably wasn't the best way to go about handling this; however, as you mentioned he basically refuses to work with them on the issue as well. He has a disorder, but he also is very immature.

The Kings are in dire need of a coach. I have a feeling Tyreke Evans is going to leave anyways. They should probably trade him before he just walks and they get nothing in return.

On Royce - there is a Spanish player, Jesus Navas, who has long been affected by chronic homesickness/anxiety. He's only ever played for one club (Sevilla) and has only recently got a run in the national team (21 appearances). This is despite being one of the most talented players in Spain/the world. However, he'll never reach his potential because he just can't handle moving outside the bubble. He's trying to defeat it, but it took everything he had to tour the US a couple years ago.

Guess all I'm saying is that it's possible to work with it, but travel in Spain is much different than North America. Royce is going to have to confront his issues and work with Houston in the long run

Chris Webber moment in Minny right now. 16-2 run for TWolves and Reggie Williams just called a nonexistent time out

Kemba may still be a bust, but that was a hell of a way to win the game for the Bobcats

I haven't watched too much. I think he had 20 or so tonight, but took some bad shots and ugly turnovers. Hopefully him and MkG can grow together, because I do like like watching him play

The Bucks are 5-2 now and took care of the Pacers really easily tonight. I still don't find myself very impressed with how the team has looked so far, though, which I guess is a good thing if we are 5-2 looking this shitty.

If clippers dot get some love for being he bet team right now it's a fucking shame. They are the only team to beat the spurs grizzlies lakes and heat so far.

Imagine when billions comes back. Thy got amazing depth and if odom ever gets back tI his groove they have a great shot at he title this year. r

You must have an extremely loose definition of the word bust.

As I said, I haven't seen much of him yet this year. But last year he shot in the mid 30s and almost in the 20s from three. He looked overmatched a lot of the time I saw him. Perhaps this year he's figured it out

Wolves loose last night, but no one got hurt so that's a step in the right direction! It sucks seeing all these guys go down as they look like they could contend for a playoff spot with everyone healthy and playing together.

Wizards might be getting the 25% chance at #1 but with our luck well end up with the 5th pick

 

[Argath]

To be fair though the wizards have been dealing with some serious injuries so far and AK price is our starting pg
