No knock on Thibs...

OK, it is...
if Rivers is 10-10 at halftime why does he sit so long in the 3rd?

Why wouldnt you just have the guy on the court at 12:00 mark, see if he could carry the load for the night?

Because as he showed when he checked back in, he can’t.

I’m right back where I want to be, in 9th.

Had a different response. Why was he pulled with 5 minutes (or something) to go in the first half. He was blazing! Unstoppable! Yes, he had three fouls. But was he really going to do an encore performance in the 2nd half? Definitely worth the risk.

Funny, Au Revoir looked rather de-mojoed the past two games, coming off a groin strain.  A streaky player who can really cook when hot. 

Looks like real bad shooting form Burks, but he had the best +/- of any starter.
Quickly thudded back to earth.

So Mitch got killed by Rudy?

15 assists is pretty poor.
UTA only had 6 turnovers.
35 2nd half points for Los Knix.
Sounds like NYK were tired.

What's the overall read on the game?

Tired.  Yes.

Just fell apart.

I only saw from 81-78 on.

I've been thinking about Robinson's play on offense. Sometime's it's fabulous with lots of picks and rolls and followup dunks.

But sometimes — with certain matchups? — he sort of disappears. His role seems extremely limited/constricted and he's not effective.

So I was interested in seeing this article in the Post suggesting that he wants more:

Dominant first half.  Somnabulant second half.  Never saw such sloppy ball handling.

On a side note, while the Jazz got us good, it cost them Mitchell and Favors who are currently on the injured list with concussion protocol and bad back respectively.

That's B2B games Knix concussed someone.

I couldn't get a good replay going, so only wacthed the 1st half.  Knix won!

RJB v IND: 25.5 Pts per  63% FG   87% on 3's

AuRivers v UTA: 24 PPG  68% FG   71% on 3's

I think the first 3 Rivers missed was a heave from beyond halfcourt at the buzzer. 

He started the game 10 for 10 and 5 for 5 from distance.

In each case a split so far if I’m not mistaken.

The odd thing is aside from everything he shot going in, Rivers didn't look particularly sharp.  He slipped before one drive.  Dribbled behind his back, lost the ball and retrieved it before a 3.  Got called for traveling

I noticed UTA was stopping RJB's from going left, especially 1Q.
Clyde often wonders why teams don't take away RJB's left.
UTA was on that.

Nets announcers have really become homers and apologists for anything the Big 3 does wrong.   They used to be quite good, but things have gone downhill.  Everything the Big 3 does gets hyper-praise.  Yuck.

Bruce Brown being a 4Q hero for BKY.
ATL playing well.  But tied game 1:10 left and Reddish clanks a 3.  Yuck.
Then on the next play a Harden drive, Reddish doesn't notice Jeff Green cutting.
But then Reddish makes an awkward shot on a drive to tie it again.
Why it was all Reddish in the last minute I dont know.
He is pretty erratic.  Doesn't have a good feel for the game yet.  But can make some plays.

OT (after a Harden step back miss)
