Around the League: Week 2 11/3-11/9

[The Bobster]

Lakers win.

Kobe 7/20 FG (35%), the rest of the team 35/62 FG (56%)

[Superbone]

Lance Stephenson has been abysmal so far this season.

He hit a game winner last night.

Lakers win.

Kobe 7/20 FG (35%), the rest of the team 35/62 FG (56%)

IOW, they won in spite of Kobe.

12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks for Chris Kaman off the bench tonight in 19 minutes. I really liked Portland picking him up in the offseason.

I still can't stand him, but he is a solid player.

[INFORMER]

Why can't you stand him?

[Mori Chu]

Chandler "Overrated" Parsons.

Chandler "Overrated" Parsons.

which is the idiot team that overpaid for parsons?

for bledsoe?

for hayward?

[Shabazz]

Hayward's been pretty damn good lately.

[Furlanfufi]

"The Best In The Game" according to his opinion.

Hayward has been nice. Its funny how you pay closer attention to guys when you have them on your fantasy roster....I have Kobe in a league where percentages don't count, so obviously all the chucking he's doing I am smiling about haha. Hayward fills the stat sheet, he hasn't shot the ball particularly well over the past week though. Trey Burke's struggles are surprising he was tearing up pre-season. He's shooting like 33%

[Sunsfan4life]

The other Bogdanovic had a big night for the Nets last night. 22pts. Then in a shocker Joe Johnson ripped his team for selfish play after the win. WOW. Must be something that really irked him for a quiet guy like Joe to make a comment like that

[Ring_Wanted]

Hayward is a joy to watch. His %s suffer because he is asked to play franchise player and he is one tier below that level, but he can do basically everything, including one on one defense. Way better than Parsons.

I think Hayward is doing what he can to earn his contract so far. I'd be more worried if I were Dallas and I maxed out Chandler Parsons. I just don't see him ever being worth that much money.

It's worth remembering the approach Jason Kidd took with 19-year-old Giannis Antetokounmpo in Las Vegas this summer.

The Milwaukee Bucks coach handed the "Greek Freak" the ball in summer-league play, putting him at point guard and giving him a chance to develop.

The results are starting to show.

Antetokounmpo's "small ball point-power forward" performance on Saturday night was a key ingredient as the Bucks handed the Memphis Grizzlies their first loss of the season, a 93-92 decision that was noticed around the league.

Kidd went with a daring power forward matchup in the fourth quarter pitting the lanky Antetokounmpo against the Grizzlies' burly veteran Zach Randolph.

I watched that 4th quarter. Giannis is something else. Short-term, he's Batum's game (with more north-south driving ability) in Durant's body. Long term, who knows? Scary.

[SDC]

if the suns want to solve their roster imbalance, they need to trade IT with his consent (i'd rather trade bledsoe, but he is untradable), then resign both dragic and green.

I'm not too worried about that deal. It was just for 3 years, and he was shooting really well after that first game stinker & the Mavs' offense was humming.
