I guess.....

Doesnt matter

Nets did the right thing in not hiringa  my way or the highway coach, surely

[kidcarter8]

Gonna check out LA-HOU tonight - then maybe a bit of Steph later on.  Draymond coming into form for 6-4 Warriors

[bodiddley]

In 5 Home games, RJB is shooting 4.8% from 3!  Just 1-21. 
13% overall on 3's.  Ouch.

RJB couldn't make a shot v CHA.
Randle looked tired to end the DEN game and for all of CHA.
Looks like Thibs ground down two of our best players in record time.

[kidcarter8]

Yeah - I can definitely tell his flaw - no way he has proper focus on the rim throughout

Looking at the numbers more closely - if Barrett were shooting last year's ,320 from deep he would be averaging 17.6 rather than 16 - and would be right at last year's .402 overall, still of course poor

FT % betterment for the 20 year old is promising

Boards and assists up, turnovers down

[kidcarter8]

Achiuwa gets start for Bam, goes 7-10 for 17-13-3 line

[bodiddley]

Boards and assists up, turnovers down

Boards and assists up die to an increase in minutes.
Basically, RJB is the same player as last year, with an extra slumpy 3-Pt shooting start.

I'm still working my way through the CHA game (aka Elf's good game).
2Q Elf had a pair of crafty layup drives.

3Q: Elf did nada in the first 6 mins.No FG's, not involved.

One play, ELF has the ball straightaway out on the arc.  Takes one dribble and passes to Rivers left elbow.  Rivers passes back to Elf who is a non-threat out there.  Elf passes to Randle on right elbow.  Just very-nothing moving it on the perimeter, but Elf's pass to Randle is down at his knees.  Fortunately Julius has good hands.  But that's a poor pass.  Even in shootaround I try to make crisp accurate passes.
You want Julius to get the ball and be a threat to shoot, fake or drive immediately, not have to fumble to catch a ball at his knees.

Immediately after that, IQ comes in to replace spacey Elf.

[bodiddley]

CHA has a pair of rookies twins Caleb and Cody Martin.

[Kam]

Technically Elf's good game came during the third contest of the season (which happened against the Bucks).
In fact since then he has had only one game where he scored less than 14 points (12 vs Denver).
He's still infuriating at times... able to get into the paint almost at will, only to frequently miss his shots.
He's perpetually a tease, pushing up layups like Sysiphus in Hades.
But he has been an average performer offensively if you look at PER.
Elf also won NCAA defensive player of the year in 2014 so he has ability to play both ends.
We shouldn't really expect a lot from him, but we shouldn't be too down on him either.  He is what he is and a pretty good bargain for what he brings.
He is the starter and until there's an injury or trade, or someone consistently outperforms him, he will continue to be the starter.

[bodiddley]

Elf is a high quality backup PG.

I see a lot of similarity between ELF and RJB's game.
RJB has a better motor; while Elf can disappear at times.

[bodiddley]

Very end of 3Q, Devonte dances behind a screen seconds ticking down, and Quickly goes under the pick giving Graham an open 3.  Bam, Knix down 14 to start the 4Q.
Rook mistake there.

[Kam]

George Hill on the newest COVID rules: “I'm a grown man, so I'm going to do what I want to do. If I want to go see my family, then I am going to go see my family. They can't tell me what I'm going to do. If it's that serious, maybe we shouldn't be playing."

[lesterluv]

Maybe he should just give up his salary and stay home.

Maybe he should see his family.

Maybe if it is that serious, they shouldn't be playing.

All true. The NBA and its players will struggle with the same issues as everybody else, though resourced in a way that few others are.

Hill is very fortunate, because he can afford to stay home and his family will still eat. That doesn't make his difficulties and decisions any less real.

Pandemics are hard!


*** I think there's a valid argument to be made for adding professional athletes in active competition to a vaccine priority group. Through travel and maskless, physical, person-to-person contact, their jobs put them and their families at serious risk. While not essential, they provide real benefits to public. And there are very few of them. Maybe 25,000 in all? a drop in the Pfizer bucket.

[bodiddley]

But Kam, shouldn't George Hill have the freedom to infect others and jeopardize the livelihoods of thousands involved in the NBA? Isn't this still America?

Of course, if Hill doesn't want to follow his employer's rules, designed for basic safety, he can find another job paying $10M a year.
