How can anyone watch the suns without laughing all through? Rockets on course to score 180.

CP3 returned today and I think the beard just tweaked his knee.

False alarm.

I'm just scouting Greg Monroe for the cavs. I like him already.

But it seems both teams came for a shootout. Lazy D from both teams but of course the rockets have more fire power.

Moose would be a decent addition to the Cavs. Would he be open to a pay cut though?

CAN'T CRUISE AGAINST CONTENDERS

The Warriors, supremely confident, will go through stretches of a game where they simply lose interest or focus. There is a growing belief within the league that they will allow comebacks.

That belief is based in fact, at least as it pertains to the league's better teams. The Warriors led the Pistons by 14 and lost by eight, led the Grizzlies by five and lost by 10, led the Rockets by 17 and lost by one.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone reminded his players of that on Nov 4 in Denver. They wiped out an early 13-point deficit to go up by 2. It didn't last, but . . .

Now this. The Warriors can look say they should have won all four of their losses. Quality opponents can look back and believe the Warriors are lack killer instinct.

They had it during 2017 playoffs. Maybe they're waiting for the REAL season.

STEVE KERR SOMETIMES HAS TOO MUCH FAITH

The coach believes in his team, as well he should, for it has rewarded him with three consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals and two championships.

That said, there was no emphatic response to the Warriors giving back 12 points of a 17-point lead in the first half and all of a 17-point lead in the third quarter.

Kerr called a timeout at the 3:17 mark of the second quarter, after Boston whittled a 44-27 Warriors lead down to 45-34. There was no timeout over the remainder of the half, which ended with the Warriors leading 47-42.

Another timeout was called with 3:46 left in the third quarter, after the Celtics shrunk the 17-point lead to 10, 66-56. Out of the timeout, Boston went on a 12-0 run, taking a 68-66 lead with 53.8 seconds remaining in the quarter.

The game was arrhythmic. The officials seemed overmatched. Kerr, believing in his players and anticipating a close game down the stretch, wanted to save his timeouts. He used them all, but one timeout during a 19-0 run seems sparse

Shumpert + Frye = Monroe.

No need.


I like his post work and rebounding but his defense is not very encouraging. Though we need better rebounding presence we need that from a defensive centre.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:53am On Nov 18, 2017
We've been gaining some momentum. 3 in a row. Lets see if we can keep it against this spiralling team led by the ugly soon to be cursed idjit at the Q.

He's playing against the Suns, those ones' got zero defense. Shouldn't be that hard.

Moose is an average rebounder for his size. It played a role in why the Pistons picked Drummond when they came to that fork in the road for both of them

Bradley Beal exploding in this quarter rn. This is why I love basketball so much!! No lead is safe
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 2:53am On Nov 18, 2017
Cavs are lucky to be in this game. Surprisingly, I thought it'd be an easy win, only for them to get cut at the paint.

Remember Clippers are missing their 3rd best player and a great defender during this losing streak. Teams have been capitalizing on mismatches from their defensive rotations. Cavs figured this late in the 2nd quarter. This is why I don't think Lue is a good coach. At least, better late than never.

P.Bev and Galinari should do and come back. Watching Dekker and Rivers getting manhandled gives me more joy than a Kardashian's sex tape...

Comparing him to Drummond isn't fair. Drummond is one of the best rebounders in the league.

Lebron is playing way too many minutes this early in the season and it seems it would continue considering their position on the log and their record. This would definetly bite the Cavs in the post season..
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:20am On Nov 18, 2017
Locked down Blake griffin and turned him into Brick Griffin.

Two Clutch 3s to tie the game.

16 points in the 4th.

Great defense and a fade away jumper to seal the win in OT.

39 14 and 6

Four wins in a row. Pistons are next. We need to reclaim our throne from the green imposters.

Keep calm. By the time IT and the rest come back he'll only be playing one half cause by then they'll be up by 30. grin

I understand the rave about IT's return, I should know better. However, If IT returns to his old self and does not reinjure the hip, he would only reduce the offensive burden. If anything, IT is a defensive liability and that does not relieve the burden off Bron.

It's not as if they're playing much D now anyways but at least with IT they have more fire power if they're going for the whole offense is the best defense approach. Point is IT definitely makes them better. Not just him too, D rose and TT are out too. Never thought I'd miss the latter.
