Around The League: Week 16 (1/31 to 2/5)

[MightyMoog]

Our last 2 losses have come against teams that were ridiculously hot from 3. Those nights happen. And it felt like we were still in it to the end. I often watch those games and think we need better shooters. Then I look at our stats. We shoot the 5th best 3P% in the league. So sometimes these things are fluky. I think our record is what it is because you actually need to have a crazy great night from 3 to beat this team. Whereas just a good night from 3 would sink most other teams.

Team Payton has no bigs whatsoever.

6th grader my ass.

But really though. Do stats even matter when you're a foot and a half taller than every one and the only person on the court who can dunk the ball?

5:30AM over here, but if anyone is looking for a Sunday afternoon/evening activity over there, the Suns next two opponents are about to face off in Chicago. The Bulls are without Zach LaVine tonight but I think he'll probably play against the Suns tomorrow.

Great minds

I can't wait to overreact to Ayton's performance as it relates to his desire for a max contract in the next two games.

He should outplay Vucevic, but the matchup against Embiid will be his toughest challenge outside of Giannis.

Decent idea to peep some of Bulls v Sixers but will have to be on replay as usual for me
I just checked scores though - Nets without Harden in Denver and the HT score was 75 - 76 ?!?!

Factz

[Shabazz]

He always struggles against Embiid, but he’s never had backups with size like he does now.

[Flagrant Fowl]

To be fair, everyone struggles with Embiid right now. He just made a crossover step back fadeaway jumper over Vucevic that didn't even hit the rim.

I just want to see Ayton give it back to Embiid, make him work defensively and on the glass.

[Superbone]

We very possibly have the best center rotation in the league.

[bajanguy008]

Well honestly that just means they are 20-20 since but hey Willie G at least has them playing respectable stuff now ?

Wow
C'mon on man, this headline/article can't be real
