Get more shots for Joe Harris 😉
Cavs were lights out from 3. They hit 20 of them. Sexton had a career night and the team as a whole shot the ball very well.
Jarrett Allen had a nice little game against his former team

Have they had the presser yet where Kyrie throws all the other team mates under the bus? And management?

They actually played okay for their first game. Kyrie and KD got plenty of shots. Harden got plenty of dribbles.
They had a few issues on their pick n roll defence, but Cavs do not shoot 20/40 from 3 on many nights. And they weren’t all wide open shots either.

exactly. obviously i didn't watch (on this, are there less games on ESPN now?) but the first gig together is always going to be tough. and it looked a crazy game. box score wise they all did pretty well.

ESPN showed a couple of games today. They have at least 5-6 each week. SBS Viceland also show 2-3 a week also.

Bump....
Joe Harris had a very good game today.
-
Loving what a Colin Sexton is doing. That kid had what it took from the moment he stared down his opposing player in school. He’s a gangster. He doesn’t care who you or what your done. He’s out to compete. Great last couple games again the nets.

Lakers lose back to back games for the first time this season.
Heat are in a funk. No Jimmy Butler, but the effort just isn’t there. They lost to a Leonard and George less Clippers. They’ve lost their last 5 are now 6-12.
Rockets on a mini 4 game winning streak after coming back from 20 today. Shout out to Tate (played for the Sydney Kings last year) who has been starting for the Rockets and playing well. Victor and Wall starting to play better. Boogie is putting in too.
Here’s a not so nice stat - Bradley Beal becomes the first player in NBA history to lose 10 straight games when he has scored 40 or more points. Ouch. I like Beal, but I think he made a bit of a mistake signing that massive extension.
-
Steven Adams had a career high 20 boards tonight. 10 of those offensive boards. He probably played the most minutes in a game for a while too (38). He was huge in creating opportunities for a really balanced scoring game for the Pelicans.
Zion looked fluent. Ball and Bledsoe played their best fame together and shot the ball very well. Ingram did his thing and Hart hit shots.
Huge win for them and to score 130+ against the Bucks who are a very good defensive side.
-
LOL at the Nets
Simultaneously the best offence, and worst defense of all time. Score 140+ against the fucking Wizards in regulation and lose?
-
Mark this post down for discussion in a few months, but I'm struggling a bit with this regular season. In reality, we are killing time until we get Lakers/Nets in the Finals. Aren't we??!?
Sure, the Clippers could get their act together but they are the only realistic challengers in the west. The east is a bit more competitive, with the Celtics, Sixers and Bucks all in with a hope.
But I watched the Nets over the weekend, and they just have too much talent. They will work the defence out in time. I forgot just how good Durant could be. I struggle to see how they are knocked off in a 7 game series by anyone other than Lebron.
-
yeah, it's like a couple of years back where we just waited for LeBron v the Warriors
I think the East is actually very competitive, and i am not yet willing to pick that winner. If the Nets can find the capital to add a couple of defensive role players, then it's a lock.
ECF is surely an all LA game unless they fuck up the regular season and end up on the same side of the finals draw.
It really does feel more and more like the regular season doesn't matter

Yeah you'd think they could find a few ring-chasing veterans around buyout time.
I've been impressed by the Celtics and by the Sixers. For all the 'trade Ben Simmons' talk the team is clicking as good as I've ever seen it, thanks mainly to good form by Embiid and Harris. But that's all facilitated by Simmons.
People potting Simmons because he isn't a big scorer miss the point. The obsession with shooting leads us to the cult of Russell Westbrook, racking up big numbers but at the expense of winning games. Simmons decline in PPG this season could be viewed as a positive, if it means guys like Seth Curry and Harris are getting more shots in better positions.

there's a big difference between wanting a guy to shoot all the time, and bagging a guy for not shooting when he the only open guy.
But they have found the mix that works, and are sitting pretty at the top.
