@ACT-Crusader you know what I'm gonna say...
I watched the ESPN coverage of this one and not league pass, and the best thing about it was that they showed all the other games that had a lot closer finishes. Chuck and Kenny Smith debating Sabonis, Kenny not believing the 100+ consecutive 3s Curry hit in practice video, the panel laughing about the current state of the Pistons. It was hilarious

I think if you look closely, his pivot foot does lift briefly (I'm not clever enough to do arrows). So technically it is a travel. But you'd never see that called, when so many more blatant ones are ignored, especially on the break.

Pivot foot definitely lifts
But I am way happier with that being allowed than the "gather" step

Curry goes off for 62 against the Blazers.
On only 8 3s too. Phenomenal game given they threw CJ, Dame, Covington, Jones Jnr, Trent Jnr at him defensively.

I didn't see, but were the foul calls legit? Must be a career high in attempts at 19?!!

He was moving as good as I’ve seen from him. Getting to the basket and really troubling the defence in the paint.
Yeah was a career high FT attempts.

Tatum is man amongst boys in this game so far. Getting to the line at will. Hitting tough buckets. He could get 50

haven't seen much of this season. Moved house a week before Xmas and still waiting for the internet to be set up.
What I have seen is Trae Young is a great player. Wiggins is a bust for sure now. Curry is still the player that changed the game and people need to throw some respeck on his name - that is not a typo... The Pelicans are a fun team to watch but too young, probably. Zion is not a bust but might not be the next player to lead the game into the next phase. LaMelo Ball is NBA ready. I think he will be the rookie of the year. For once Westbrook is not the problem at his team. The Knicks haven't figured shit out and people need to just wait for them to implode instead of thinking they've turned some type of corner. Fultz is a very good player and Im happy he's found his feet.

@raznomore leave my Knicks alone. Any corner is better than any previous year corner!

Major quibble is what is Lamelo NBA ready for? To me he looks like the definition of good stats /bad team (based on an NBL season and 6 NBA games!), only his stats won't ever be that good given his poor shooting. Could he be late-career Jason Kidd one day? Maybe, I think that's best case scenario. Has to work on his shot though. Vision is excellent. Definitely the better player than Lonzo
Re Russ, why isn't he the problem? He is shooting 20 shots pg at 39% and 23% for 3pt. He also turns the ball over prolifically - he has an assist to turnover ration of about 2x compared to (say) CP3 (who i don't really like) at 4x. That ain't good.
Other thoughts, great to see Jaylen Brown kick on, I love that guy. Paul George sucks still. Fun to see Curry back, but regular season (see below).
Zion, I think he could still be great, think he's finding his way on a shit team.
And not sure I have mentioned this, but I hate the NBA regular season

Adams gets his first triple-double...and against the former team. Didn't come away with the win though.
Bradley Beal had 60 against Philly, but I think he'd be a little disappointed with that, not only because his team lost, but because he had 57 points at the end of the 3rd and only managed to score 3 points in the 4th. I thought he was about to end up with 70 or so points.

It was a bit of an ugly 4th quarter by the Wizards.
How bout dem Knicks 😎

@voodoo I don't think Melo is just a case of swelled numbers on a poor performing team. Im not really looking at him as a scorer but more as a facilitator. He's making vet plays on the regular.
Russ is not "the" problem. Just one of many at the Wizards.
@ACT-Crusader at least your team isn't OKC. Even when they win, like today, I can't get excited because they are earth-shatteringly boring.

@raznomore I watched the second half of the Thunder v Pelicans game and they played well and a bit more uptempo in the 3rd. Almost blew in the 4th though. SGA is frustrating because he’s obviously got talent but still prone to rookie errors.
Also I’m a bit of a LaMelo fan. Yes he’s got a funky shot and it never seems like it’s going (and for the most part it doesn’t), but love his vision and court awareness.
Lonzo has changed his shot mechanics so I reckon LaMelo might as well as he continues to get stronger.
