Great start for the Clippers in the Harden era. The worst loss of the season with the added bonus of losing Plumlee to a nasty looking knee injury. Hopelessly out-rebounded by 17, and completely unable to secure defensive boards. How predictable. And a noticeable lack of ball movement compared to the previous 5 games. Paul George's red hot season start came to a screeching halt, looking completely disjointed out there. Going to give it 15-20 games before anything definitive but the initial concerns all laid bare in the first game.

Fakers final 6 attempts from the field were all 3 attempts.

Why have Cam take the last shot when Christian Woods was hitting in the 4th?

Apparently that would be overthinking it.

Yep - you saw it when he squared off vs Luka, and again tonight, Zion has been nearly invisible, while Jokic is playing with a bunch of 2nd/3rd stringers and passed Lebron and Kidd in Trip-Dubs in the 3rd.

daeve · 11-06-2023, 11:01 PM

Julian Strawther's coming out party. Thank god for that because Hawkins has been lighting it up for Nola, and without Murray this Denver offense when Joker sits looked putrid in the 1st half.

Not a peep about Boston’s first L?

Minny with impressive wins over Denver and Boston now. Ant and Slender Mac gonna be a problem, been saying it.

[SportsCenter] Jokic has passed LeBron for the fourth-most triple-doubles in NBA history and did it in 813 less games ��

And he has a ton of them in 3 quarters, I think on the Denver broadcast they mentioned the actual number and I'd be surprised if he isn't top 2 all-time in that. Need to check what the actual number was again.

And it was with Fraidy KAT fouling out with a junk game.

Nomad · 11-06-2023, 11:38 PM

I want Wembayana and Embid on the same team, so we can have Wembid.

Top performers so far this season: Jokic: 28/13/8 on 69.1% TS, Embiid: 32/11/6 on 63.1% TS, Luka: 32/10/9 on 64.0% TS, Steph: 31/5/4 on 73.0% TS

Top 4 thus far seems right

Ant has taken the next step! Superstar! This guy is legit and lethal all at the ripe old age of 22! Look out league a new era is upon us!

He's an absolute stud. Just doesn't move the needle in the entertainment part of the game. He's Duncan 2.0 the big Fundamental Jr.

The Pacers have now given up 150 and scored 150...all within 7 games.
