As for Julius, he's terrific, extremely difficult to guard, and the better the supporting cast, the more some of his defects (trying to do too much) will fall away.


Well said - true of all players.

The great James Harden didnt feel his cast would bring enough prosperity (not that JH would admit that HE might force things due to it) with his current cast - and forced a deal.

Randle isnt a superstar so he plays with who they tell him to - and has prospered as the staff and roster improves, benefitted also by his own off court work on his body/game.

Payton left to right crossover - an uncommon move for a righthanded player - paying big dividends

Broke Jaylen's ankle in the BOS game.  And now uses same move and finishes with the monster slam.

Probably a poor decision for Knicks to meet up for an early intense shootaround

Pretty ugly game.
Knix gave ORL a chance to win.

Not easy to win when you shoot 5-27 from 3, but Knix managed it.
Good to get a W before going out West.

Can't say I like one player on ORL.
Vuc is good.

Gordon is pretty good too. Luckily they played Anthony way more than Bone.

Good ugly win.

Winning both ends of a back-to-back for the first time in three years. 

Also 2 straight holding the opponent under 85.

Now that's how you end a losing streak.

Gordon is being asked to do too much at the moment.

Good we get a moment before the road trip starts.

GSW outscored LAL by 13 in the 4Q to win by 2.
LeBJ had a pretty bad 4Q.  Got called for travelling twice. About 1:30 left down by 4 LeBJ's 3 missed the rim and slammed the backboard (but AD rebounded and dunked).
Then down 2 with 13 secs left, LeBJ passed to Shroder who was blanketed, nearly turns it over.  Bron didn't get that play organized.  Lakes call timeout with 1.7 secs left.  LeBJ misses a 3 at the buzzer.

Wiggins had a good shooting game, but under 3 mins left and trying to comeback Wiggy got fouled on a drive and missed both FT's.  Wiseman had a rough game, 5 turnovers and 5 fouls in 18 minutes.

Paschall scored 8 points in the early part of the 4Q to keep GS within 10.
Wanamaker made two nice buckets.

I was thinking Uber was real quiet, but then under 2 mins down 4 he guarded the inbounds and forced Schroder into a turnover, then Uber had a nice driving layup.
He was also guarding LeBJ part of the 4Q.  Lakes were playing off Uber in the corner alot.  He's had a real rough start to the season, but has picked up the last 3 games.

Knix play GSW soon.  It'll be 2nd game a B2B for the Warriors, but I'm sure they'll come out to play.

Thanks for the report

Always rooting for the role players (Paschall, Wanamaker) to chip in nicely.

I had said Boston might miss Brad, who I had championed when he came from overseas.  Not so far - even giving rookie minutes to Pritchard on par with the vet pickup Teague.  But we'll see.

As for Wiggins, he is fitting in with Warriors as I had imagined.

Basically 20-5-3 per 36 minutes, though his analytics arent wonderful.
