    Jones just wasted a season in Portland. Nice to see him doing good.

    Those projections were nuts. Nance's impact has been pretty minimal.

    here's the obligatory "it's way too early" statement...and it is way too early

    Jones has only played in 7 games and is averaging nearly 7 minutes less than he did for Portland. He's only attempted 24 FG's (Little has attempted 60), and he won't keep shooting 85% on two's. He has 2 assists and is shooting 100% on FT's when his career mark is 69%

    all his numbers are ridiculously skewed by sample size

    Knicks coach Thibs benching starters: “you know what they say: when it’s 10 games they say you need 20. When it’s 20, they say you need 30; at 30, you say 40. And before you know it the season is over. So that’s a bunch of bullshit”

    Take note Chauncey.

    Last year’s Jazz started 4-4. Last year’s Suns started 8-8 and made it to Finals. It’s still very early. Bucks got off to slow start last year too.

    I’m watching the Raptors play. Fun team to watch. Van Vleet is awesome. Just plays at his own pace.

    Scottie Barnes is going to be a star

    I believe we had the best in season road record in the league last year and we were average at best.

    At first I thought you must be on crack or something, but I looked it up. They were tied for 2nd best (which is insane).

    Turner blocked Gobert and then got tripped up. Pushed Gobert who bear hugged Turner. Ingles came in with a right hook, not sure why Donovan got ejected.

    In terms of classic, unselfish point guards that can defend extremely well, Chicago is stacked. Ball and Caruso are damn tough to beat. Ball's shooting has really improved too. But what will happen now that Vuc is out of commision for a bit?

    which is why comparing records from one year to another is often misleading
