Exclusive OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: NOVEMBER 2024

I believe that’s a big reason why LeBron put up the stats he did.

 

#FireStotts!

 

Risacher had a big game yesterday:

33 pts
7 reb
3 ast
3 stl
2 blk
0 tov
6/10 from 3

 

You keep thinking that.
40 years old

Averaging 24/7/8 on 52% FG shooting…… keep hating FAMS!

 

The guy leading the league in minutes played pulled a hamstring, how shocking!

 

* Thibodeau is sticking to form and grinding down his starters:



**********************************************************

Memphis lost Bane and Smart to minor injuries, but Jaylen Wells stepped into the starting role and has played well. Averaging 11 points (20 last night). Wells is a 6'7 rookie taken in the 2nd round at #39. Blazers traded away #34 (Kolek) for 3 future 2nd's in 2027, 2029, 2030

**********************************************************

OKC looks like they got 2 of the 3 best players from the 2022 draft in Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Williams was a giant steal at #12. He's averaging 20-7-5 on good efficiency. And, he's turning into an excellent defender. Williams and Holmgren are both headed for max rookie extensions in 2026. Will be interesting to see how OKC handles that. especially with SGA getting a new contract in 2027

************************************************************

remember when so many ere saying that Simons was better than Herro:



I'm inclined to think they are about even but Herro sure has been better early this season. Likely just a hot streak

********************************************************************

Norm Powell is going bonkers so far this season. He doesn't do much in the way of rebounding or assists but he's averaging 25 points while posting a .681 TS%. He's a mediocre defender (we saw some of that in the Blazer game) but he's sure filling the role of microwave well

************************************************************************

if there wasn't a Jokic, would Domantas Sabonis be considered one of the best passing & scoring big men of all time?

 

Hey I’m not hating on LeBron, never have. He’s a great player. The Lakers on the other hand…

 

Yeah… What he said!

 

It worries me how bad a lot of teams look right now. We need to keep our lottery chances strong. We’re 10th worst right now.

 

Never to be seen again…… it’s almost as if we knew this was going to happen.

 

well, the Lakers gave him 5.4M. Lebron won't let him crash on his couch anymore

 

Gotta have some contracts on team. There is a salary floor. Can’t just have young guys and picks.

 

They won

 

Westbrook played well last night but his averages aren’t close to All Star level.

 

Curry playing great. Not MVP level. Buddy is the reason they’re winning.

 

Ticket sales are a huge source of income for NBA.

 

I watched. He was great.

 

Viewership is down because Warriors and Lakers are on too much. Lakers suck and the Warriors are tired.
