OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JANUARY 2024

Pistons trying to keep pace with T-Wolves, back n' forth high scoring 1st qtr.

 

No Giannis tonight and the Bucks had only scored 2 points over halfway through the first quarter against the Cavs who had 22 points at the time.

 

Nothing is falling for the Bucks and the Cavs are shooting very well. Bucks have missed like 4 layups. No question they miss Giannis.
At the end of the 1st Dame picked up the inbound with 4 seconds on the clock. The entire Cavs team met him at half court to keep him from taking that shot.

 

I’m shocked how RJ has been playing. SHOCKED. I’m surprised being home has changed his confidence. If I’m Toronto, I’d trade Bruce Brown for Wiggins + 2 2nds (including their ‘29 unprotected). If Wiggins gets a boost of confidence and plays like the second best player on a championship team again, it’ll be like Toronto never even missed a beat.

 

Brook Lopez has lost a step. He is getting flat out owned in the paint Way too slow.

 

Cavs are throttling the Bucks right now 66-41 at the half.

 

Ehh?

 

Guard play continuing to be a problem for the Magic.

 

I questioned whether he was ever as good defensively as was his reputation, or if his massive improvement on that end largely coincided with Jrue's arrival. As such, I suggested that moving from one of the best perimeter defenders to one of the worst (Dame) would really expose him.

 

Lakers smokin' Mavs

 

Simons jumper has been broke lately

 

he only airballed 1 shot, it'll happen. The cold East Wind from Hood River is a factor tonight.

 

I’ll admit, that airball and the 10 dribbles before that was too much to defend, as an Ant supporter lol.

 

Ayton out because of ice in his neighborhood?

 

He came from Phoenix.

 

they don't want DA slipping down his driveway and aggravating his knee injury.

 

I remember that happening with Dale Davis once
