But the Spurs stink and Wemby is playing crap. boooo.
Could be worse, they aren’t the Blazers. And I’m convinced the Jazz are playing for the lottery already.

OKC going with the smallest starting lineup in a long long time. Even smaller than when the Dubs started Draymond at centre.
OKC had:
6’5 Jalen Williams start at centre
Dort 6’4 and Wiggins 6’5 at forward
SGA 6’6 and Isaiah Joe 6’3 in the backcourt.They got the big scoring win against the Clippers. SGA has been far more aggressive on his 3 ball this season than the last 2. Averaging about 6 attempts per.

Now that was a fun game - Warriors v Mavs, Steph vs Klay. Tribute to Klay to kick off proceedings and all the fans wearing Klay captain hats. Plenty of emotion before and during the game.
Went down to the wire with Steph having to go Olympic mode in the 4th. Klay hit six 3s himself and there were some cheers from the Duns crowd when he hit some of them too!
Warriors have good depth and they are playing as a team with Kerr trusting his bench going 11 deep in most games.

because the fuck else is there? cricket hasn't started. there's barely any footy. NFL is not often enough.
I wouldn't say i am excited. And i know nothing really matters until after the All Star break. But it is still elite sport, and some lads are sticking up huge numbers.
-
@voodoo definitely get that, but I’m a tragic and still love it. It’s the games within the game that I like. The games yesterday had a bit more feeling with the NBA cup starting.
That Hawks win against the Celtics was a fun watch too. Aussie Dyson Daniels is one of the best defensive guards in the league and he had a night out on the other end. Plus I love seeing Boston lose these days.
Then Spols doing a C Webb and calling a ghost timeout and losing the Heat the game at the very death. Crazy.

The NBA Cup is a success i reckon. For all these dudes have too much money, and too little motivation, wave a trophy in front of them and they fucking go for it.
-
Also, do you reckon there are a heap of NBA teams and players just waiting for LBJ, KD and Steph to finally fuck off? 40, 37 and 36 and they are still dominant forces in the league, and the best players on their team. It should not be happening, and yet here we are.

@mariner4life it’s a make or miss league and as long as thise guys can score consistently, they will play until 45!
-
@voodoo love the Lebron jab because it’s true!
I don’t think it’s overused. It was an intense game against the reigning WCF champs, who everyone has said got stronger by adding a splash bro. Given the 4th quarter Steph was having it deserved it.
What I find cringy is when some random from the Sydney Kings or some dude in the China or Philippines leagues do it.
-
the biggest rivalry in the league right now is Doc Rivers v Giannis. Can one's ability and will to win beat the others opposite of those things.

in Spurs coaching news
Concerning reports out of SA that Pop has had a minor stroke and this might be it for him. Absolutely nothing confirmed as yet so hopefully all bullshit.
And based on the above i should be considered for the role. Since my crack at him Wemby is on a tear. Scored 50 tonight in 28 minutes.
He's spamming the 3 button hitting 20 from 36 in the last 3 games. So what's coming is pump fake, one step, alien dunk.

That is below their game average too….
Averaging over 50 attempts per game this season. Coach Joe wants them right around there.
Some crazy numbers today:
Greek freak - 59 / 14 / 7
KAT - 46 and 10
Wemby - 50 piece
Jordan Poole - 42
Rookie Jared McCain got 38. 76ers Big 3 were out and he almost got the win against the Cavs.Cavs are now 13-0. Best all round backcourt so far this season.

See Stewart get ejected for the fragrant on the Freak? Shit like that would turn my hair grey if I were a coach or owner; imagine having your star get hurt from a fluffybunny play like that.
Agree, hate that shit

Classic Stewart though. Was dumb as it wasn’t even near the end where in a close-ish game you might see an obvious foul. And given how the game played out, they could’ve done with his size.
