I am playing a gig at a sports bar with a gazillion TV’s and will try to avoid seeing a score all night. I managed to pull it off last Tuesday but, boy is it tough. The cheering (or lack thereof) should give it away. Did you make it??? I pulled it off. I was so proud that of myself making it all t ...

Ayton's last games - 20.0 pts, 10.7 Reb, 72.9 FG% , 76.2 FT% (Suns 6 wins, 1 loss) In 4 of those games, he had 0 free throws made. Averaging 20 ppg without 3s or fts is both impressive and worisome. Maybe this success will give him the confidence to put his body into the defender. Not quite yet ...

Sure - then choose someone whose body is ready for such an insurance policy. Not two years away. Anyways, I'm just thinking out loud and don't dislike what we have now from where we have been. We could have been better with hindsight, but so could everyone else.

I think we would feel a lot differently now had Jones called Haliburton's bluff (if it really was a thing). An actual scorer/distributor for the second unit and a PGOF? What in the world was he thinking?!

This was the second recent game (w/ Charlotte) where the pass out of the double team from Booker to Bridges went to where Bridges was but Bridges then cuts. Not sure if Bridges is told to stay put with the big double team or not, but it is clear that Booker can't see over/around the double team and ...

Nader is a higher-BB-IQ Josh Jackson. The motor is always on the redline, but you don't end up shaking your head as much.

West is pretty open, and the Nuggets just put themselves into consideration if they weren't there before. Blazers is kind of a lateral move to me, though Powell is good.

The thing (to me) is that Nader brings defense and movement - Gallo doesn't. Gallo can hit threes, and I have seen him hit a couple of midrange shots this season, but he doesn't move much on offense. That's fine when Paul or Booker are handling and driving and creating opportunities. But when those ...

My bet is that the players thought this would be funny and egged him on. I strongly doubt this was his idea. For sure he should have been much more self-conscious.

I remember 2 of them, did he catch LeBron on one near the rim? I don't know exactly how it got so chippy or why the refs were so jumpy about things. I missed the start of the 2nd half so I might've missed something there but it felt like out of nowhere they were replaying everything, huddling over ...

Wow. Lakers are going to be busy on Tuesday night. Celtics and Suns back to back! Especially with the flight to LA from Boston in between!

I'm sorry, it's the Clippers vs. Boston. I type that all out & sometimes I make mistakes.

To the stockades!!!

https://twitter.com/KellanOlson/status/1339437613904613376?s=20 This really stood out to me while watching the game and hadn't yet seen anyone mention it. What also stood out was that the guards (mostly Paul) actually were feeding Ayton when he did this. It felt like Ayton was featured more ...

Rubio trying to help his countryman get his stats?

Neto is a Brasileiro.

No big deal. He just has bilateral knee tendinitis. He can sit on the bench and talk to Cam Johnson about his degenerative knees. Would be quite the pairing.

You went from tendinitis to degenerative knees. Huh?

Ayton created no gravity at all in this game - or even for most games he has played this season. Hard to create/execute offense around that.

Yes, Rubio is back with the team.

And I get that "shots contested" is a positive thing, but it is also nearly impossible to measure unless it is an actual block. Whether or not the shot was contested or altered depends upon the person taking the shot. Just because Gobert is around the rim and he is long doesn't mean that the player ...

I saw this from the Jazz announcer and biggest cheerleader. I think Gobert should be an all-star, but valuing screen assists and the defensive presence that Gobert provides takes away from Mitchell's shine, imo. He wouldn't get as many open looks if he didn't have Gobert to set those amazing moving ...

Are you guys still holding to the theory that a #16 plus a 2021 Heat 1st rounder to Charlotte for the #11 pick was going to beat #12 and two second rounders? We only ever hear stories about this or that, but when did McD ever actually come close to the [good] stories? Amare for Stephen Curry comes ...
