Yeah we'll wear red and they'll wear blue and it will be just like Tenet only reversed, which is really weird.

It's a lot of fun, I'm just not sure if it makes sense. If it does, it's over my head.

Edit: Seriously if you can understand it and want to take a couple of minutes to explain it. You can put that explanation in a message to me. I've discussed it with a lot of people and we just can't seem to be able to figure it out.

GS killing Sac 19-7. It's early, but I don't expect Sac to come back.

Check out some of these numbers.
Steph "Trash" Curry 30-9-8 in 31 minutes.
GS 7 players in double figures.
Warriors shoot 23/43 53% from 3 point. Seems like they had another pretty good shooting night.
Here is the crazy stat.
Kings 28 of 39 at the free throw line. Can you imagine if the Blazers got 39 free throw attempts in any game let alone vs the Warriors?

Thibs' effect on the Knicks has been amazing. Their defense looks legit

Love him or hate him, Thibs has a solid history of being able to get teams to improve their defense. Not a 100% of the time, but certainly has made an impact in many places.

some of the ads this year in the nba have been egregious.



like the qatar banner and the two massive panels are right in your face! On top of the Motorola ad on the sidelines, and the panel next each bench. Looks like Euroball. All this prolly wouldn't have been noticeable if they just zoomed out a bit.

Rockets have started this ad box on screen with tweets right that they show during FTs that is hella annoying.

And don't even get me started on the promos/ads during FTs.

In that respect, Blazers haven't gone that far.

He is surprising a lot of people.

as a Duck fan I knew Pritchard had high BBIQ and was a solid player. I just didn't think he was NBA-solid. So yeah, he's surprising me a little. Will be interesting to see what happens with his minutes when Kemba Walker gets healthy

I think his athleticism is what has surprised most people. He clearly showed he had NBA 3pt range in his last year. (many times beyond 25 feet) He worked very hard on improving his handles each year. I think he will have a long career if he can avoid injuries.
Maybe not as a full-time starter, but certainly as a solid back up. His demeanor reminds me of Steve Blake. I love his attitude
 
Julius Randall is balling.
He's the type of forward we need starting, he's a 20/10 guy and can shoot the three. Id trade CJ for him and some.
Randall, Roco/DJJ and Nurk front court would be tough.
I know some in here dont like Randall but he's relentless under the hoop, go check out his stats.

Blake is a pretty good comp for Pritchard. One difference is used to call Blake 'soft porn' because he never penetrated. Pritchard will likely attack the basket at a much higher rate

Crazy that he’s older than Jayson Tatum. How good is Tatum going to be? Geez.

I'm fairly sure I had several mock trade suggestions sending CJ to the Knicks for Randall + assets. I was hoping to get the Knicks pick to select Halliburton.

I have always been high on Tatum. But some Celtic fans are actually down on him. They say he is a black hole on offense.
Seems like fans of every team over use that description.

It gets used regularly for Harden, too, and he's a perennial MVP candidate. Same for Kobe through much of his career. Basically, any ball-dominant player is a black hole when they don't have a great shooting night.

Pritchard had a great game 23 pt and 8 assists. Hat's off.

P-Rabbit. Love it. I see his comp being a better shooting Pat Beverley. Payton plays annoyingly good, aggressive perimeter defense just like Beverley.

 
Pritchard with the game winner! This kid’s impressive. Even if he is a Duck.
 
Well the good news is other Western teams are managing to suck. Utah loses to the Knicks and the Rockets to the Pacers.

Losing Seth was horrible in hindsight.

Certified sniper. Every bit as dangerous as Duncan Robinson if given the playing time.

Ive said it then and I’ll say it again. We haven’t been the same since he left. And oh man his defense was underrated too.
