I believe we had the best in season road record in the league last year and we were average at best.

At first I thought you must be on crack or something, but I looked it up. They were tied for 2nd best (which is insane).

I think that included playoffs, where for in - season games I thought we were first or tied?
 
Idk what happened but 4 players were just ejected from the Indy Utah game. Gobert, Ingles, Donovan, and Myles Turner

Turner blocked Gobert and then got tripped up. Pushed Gobert who bear hugged Turner. Ingles came in with a right hook, not sure why Donovan got ejected.
 
Bulls and the Warriors are two team that’s fun to watch
 
In terms of classic, unselfish point guards that can defend extremely well, Chicago is stacked. Ball and Caruso are damn tough to beat. Ball's shooting has really improved too. But what will happen now that Vuc is out of commision for a bit?
 
Lowry has been incredibly clutch in this 4th quarter.

Remember when talk about Dame/CJ and Lowry/Derozan was a thing until Dame raised his rep with plays and shots which are a legit part of NBA history.
 
big scuffle in the Pacer/Jazz game tonight. Watch the first part of this video and see how Joe Ingles shoved the official..pretty forcefully. I'd think a suspension is on the way

also, that game showed why Portland was lucky to play Indiana without Brogdon

You know who's FIRST in deflections? Warning: this might sting a little:

[Jalen Brunson's] #'s are no better than Simons (actually, this year he's shooting worse from the floor and from 3, and his FT% is worse for their respective careers, Simons is averaging more points per game and a whole 1.4 fewer assists per 36)...and he's 3 years older. So, yeah, maybe they went with the right draft pick?

If Steve Kerr is the coach of the Blazers would our assist go up? Do we see open shot for Dame like Steph? What about those pick and roll bounce passes that ends up a turnover?
 
Lakers are so bad
I’m not sure bringing LeBron back automatically makes it better unless they are just not trying, but it doesn’t seem that way. AD is playing high minutes.

They have so many ball dominant scorers

Outscored 40-12 in the third quarter
 
Warriors so fun to watch on both ends… so jealous with their ball movement and no one on one dribble dribble like CJ

We should trade CJ and go with ANT. Trent and Ant would be solid enough if we got somebody solid back in a trade. Maybe Olshey tried and there isn’t a lot of interest in him on his contract?
 
Carmelo Anthony is having a great night in Los Angeles against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is 1 for 11 for 3 points through 3 quarters.
Only Anthony Davis has taken more shots than Carmelo for the Lakers.
 
47-12 MIN in the 2nd half and still 10 minutes left.

It’s not Minnesota’s fault that the Lakers are so bad if they win by 50. What are they supposed to do when even the Lakers bench sucks…
 
This guy said the Lakers without LeBron are “so much better” than the blazers.
 
Since when is light blue a Lakers Color?

Garbage uniforms might be why they lost; burn them all - or donate them to the less fortunate.

Edit: Better yet, play in them every game.
 
Not to discredit Minnesota; they are talented.
Lakers are just legit trash

@THE HCP Are the Lakers still working out the kinks in their seven superstar attack?
Click to expand...

Dennis Schroder: 15 pts, 4 rebs, 6 ast
Kyle Kuzma: 15 pts, 9 reb, 2 ast
KCP: 9 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast
Montrazel Harrell: 18 pts, 9 rebs, 2 ast
Andre Drummond: 7 pts, 11 reb, 2 ast
Alex Caruso: 9 pts, 3 reb, 4 ast
Markieff Morris: 8 pts, 3 reb, 1 ast

so, the 7 rotation guys they got rid of are averaging 76 points, 43 rebounds, & 19 assists. And KCP and Caruso were their 2 best perimeter defenders. They've replaced those guys Westbrook, Melo, Bazemore, Bradley, and Rondo....hahahahaha
