    Predictable. He is too heavy to be slamming his body around. He needs to play more like shaq. Not try to be like Kobe. Meaning stop trying to fly. Stay low to the ground and bang.

    I am curious about the back to back in Phoenix. I have never heard of a team being scheduled like this before. I wonder how often a team has to play another team in that teams gym back to back and not in the playoffs.

    I see where we did it a couple times last year, but with a day off in between the games.

    Well there were never games played by two teams in a row in the same arena before covid. They started doing it with covid and have continued. I think it makes a ton of sense to reduce travel.

    Now I don't think they should ever have a back to back in the NBA. But if they do this is the most fair way; both teams play on both days.

    Jazz play the Rockets tonight and Wednesday. They could easily be 5-0. Impressive start for a team supposed to be tanking. You know Danny won’t stand for it though. He has his eye on Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson.

    Lakers reportedly expected to resume trade talks with Jazz later in season

    After having discussions with the Jazz this summer, the Lakers are expected to eventually resume those trade talks this season.

    Wow, the Spurs are absolutely giving it to the T-Puppies. Tanking teams don’t quite know their assignments yet.

    KAT is also Anthony Davis lite. He’s just not a franchise #1 option.

    Are they though? I haven't watched them but they won tonight with Johnson getting 18 points on 20 shots and Vassell getting 23 points on 22 shots.

    Why have the Bucks only played 2 games and they don't even play tomorrow?!? That's just weird.

    They've got a very favorable schedule through November... but look at their December. Holy crap is it tough! From 11/30 through 12/30, they have 16 games in 30 days, only 5 home games, and none of those together. That's basically a month-long road trip--an entire month of never playing in the same city twice, and only having 2 days off between games one time (after Christmas).

    Pretty much agree with everything you posted. Just said it different. Lillard has options and support on defense. If they don't cover Lillard he will smoke them. Now it's obvious Simons and Grant will as well.
    By the way. I cannot say this enough. Nurk "the beast" might be back!
