The game giveth and the game taketh away...

Congrats to Jules. Now everyone go watch film.

Anyone notice that Obi is fairly credibly checking wings from time to time?

Payton is extending how far into the game he can keep driving lanes open. One of his better outings.

On a night where the Dubs had a little of their magic, we had our chances.

Film & night school and a better effort next time.

Holy shit. Luka.

You got to see the last 30 seconds of the Dallas game.

Draymond Green would be a much better fit, but salaries probably don’t match, and why would GS do it? Last I checked, they ain’t crazy.

Green only fits with GS.  His attitude and play don't befit that of a #2.  He would also clash with Carlisle.  Kerr keeps him in check.

But defends and provides assists to his teammates, while KP is a fragile prima donna.

You were the one suggesting GS trade him for KP.  I'm suggesting GS add KP without trading him.

Kamster, I was saying it'd be good for Dallas, but GS would be crazy if they did it. By the way, KP has not played for a while, is he hurt again? Don't matter, Dallas seems to play better without him.

Les, my doggie, you were going to MSG when they allowed fans in. Were you the guy with the pink panther mask?

OTOH, just to state the obvious, we need a reliable three-point shooter.

The Houston Rockets waived center DeMarcus Cousins on Tuesday.

I bet Luka is sick of him.

Nets reportedly re-signing Shump and Roberson on 10-day contracts.
Looking to save money on salaries since the tax ups them, and have flexibility in case anybody interesting gets waived.
_____________________________________________________________

Knix kept it close despite being outplayed 1Q.  But then Knix couldn't get much of a lead despite the bench outplaying GSW's bench 2Q.  Rose had a real strong 1st half and was energetic all game.  I don't hear many calls for IQ to replace Elf as the starting PG anymore.
And Burks has looked fairly ordinary. 

Toppings had a nice game in just 13 minutes.
Elf played hard.  RJB was out of sorts. 
Taj & Randle were snagging every rebound, which kept NYK in the game 4Q.
18 Knick Off-rebounds. 

Wars 30 assists to just 10 turns.
Scurry impressive in the endgame.
Dray had some mighty fine assists on backdoor cuts, often set up by Scurry screening for a Big (WideMan and Oubre) on the perimeter.  Nice action by Kerr, to use fear of Scurry getting free, allowing a Big to slip to the rim.

Uber had a solid game, nicely active.  Cut nicely for Dray and Scurry feeds.
Early season talk was how Uber's cutting was clashing with Scurry's scurrying, sometimes literally so as they'd run into each other.  Looked much better coordinated this game (and last).   Uber also guarded Elf a good amount, so Steph could take it easy guarding Bullox who has vowed never to shoot in the 2nd half.  Knix never made Curry work onN D.
There seems to be zero chemistry/interaction between Uber and Wiggy.
Dray really holds the team together on both ends.

Thanks for the info

I had just deleted my post, seeing that it didnt really fit the conversation.

Saw Roberson playing last night.  Was wondering what occurred.

NETS continue to roll.

Haliburton was impressive, at one point draining 4 of 5 from deep.  Went cold later on.  SAC played three guards for most of what I saw, which was the last 21 minutes.

REPLACE ELF AS THE STARTING PG WITH IQ


*** even at his ..er..."best"....elf puts a ceiling on ya that is so low, is what it is, glad he's keeping himself out of Turkmenistan for a while longer

** agree with ya on Burks, pedestrian as fk lately, the more he tries to do, the worse it often looks..

[bodiddley]

At least Burks tries to do more.
Bullox goes all passive plenty of games/stretches.
Frustrating as he can score.

Congrats to Randle for being named an All Star.
He deserves it by being Mr. Everything on O for NYK, and playing improved defense under Thibs.

I would have had Bam in there instead of Vuc; and FVV over Zach.
But Zach Lowe made the case that Vuc does the same as Randle for NY, but at a more important position.  Lowe had both Randle and Vuc on his AS squad.
Sabonis and Vuc are worthy candidates as well.
I would have gone Randle and Bam (by far the best defender of that quartet of all-around Big Men). 

The three plus games I've seen CHI, Zach played one good quarter.  And some sub-par D.
So maybe just small sample on my part, but Z-lavie doesn't seem to impact winning.
While FVV has been a 2-way terror and TOR's best player.  Seems more impactful.

His head still abides
Within his butt
Reflexively pandering
Mean spirited smut
That such Trumpian Meanness
Endures, alas
But then this snarky 'ol yard dawg
Sure Loves to sniff his OWN Ass

I usually go off most recent performance.

Last year Burks had it over Bullock - and this year AB is shooting 3s at a 40% clip - what we sorely needed.

That we are 15-17 and were a 22 win O/U team speaks volumes of the new additions as much as the improvement of Julius's line.  Throwing more than lip service at defensive emphasis of course the #1 element.
