So the Celtics (my team) have 8 players shooting 40% or better from 3 point range and none of them are Tatum, Brown or Smart.  They'll come back to earth a little, but they're going to have legit shooting around the Jay's this year.  Hopefully Robert Williams comes back relatively healthy.  They can afford to bring him along as slowly as possible.  I saw they're giving up over 113 points a game and assumed they had one of the worst defenses in the league, but it's almost dead middle of the pack.  I can't believe the best defense is giving up over 106 pts a game. That's crazy.  Making it out of the Eastern Conference is going to be a slug fest.

My extremely unwithit understanding is that right before Elon shut him down, Kanye tweeted that he caught Kim and Chris fucking.

The bigger story would be an NBA player who hasn't hooked up with a Kardashian yet.

[Vic Mackey 47027]

So him and Booker tag teamed her?

Anthony Davis is probably just about as good as jokic, freak, and embiid, but the inevitability of his injuries will define his entire legacy. 

so far tonight: 

16-23 FG, 2-2 3P, 5-5 FT, 39 pts, 8 reb, 4 ast, 3 blk in the road against the Bucks. 

[HookEm 2467]

Don’t look now, but the Nets have won 4 in a row and 10 of their last 15.  By my count, only Boston has a better record in their last 15 than the Nets in the entire NBA. 
 

They just got back TJ Warren and Joe Harris is playing better.  At full strength this team is going to be a problem for anybody.

[SilasCoade 2622]

I still don't see it with the Nets because of defense. They need Seth, Harris, Kyrie, and KD to all be hitting on offense to outscore the other team. Ben Simmons ain't locking dudes down, KD gets bullied in the post easily (but has become a very good help defender), and basically nobody plays good on ball perimeter defense for them. On offense they have way too many turnovers as well, ranking in the bottom half of the league so far in turnovers per game (and slightly worse with turnovers per possession).

[shadow_operative 15932]

can the nets trade for someone like myles turner?

[SilasCoade 2622]

That would be the dream, but unless they can dupe someone into taking Ben Simmons plus draft picks every other year for the next ten years I don't see it.

The least they could do is spell Tristan's name correctly. He went the extra mile to make that list--he impregnated a Kardashian!

That is easily his best moment as a Laker.

[UpperWestside 6163]

Nice of AD to finally play like he is capable of doing during the brief stretches of good health that he sporadically has. 99 points over the last two games is pretty good. Now we’ll see if he can make it through at least the next week without an injury.

[SilasCoade 2622]

Hard to say a guy gets 30+ for you and is still the biggest reason you lost the game, but it felt that way watching the Nets tonight. KD just sloppy with the ball, turning it over left and right, killing momentum. He did have a couple nasty blocks in addition to the 30 points but those turnovers, man.

Boston without Smart or Rob Williams had no issue.

hawks announcer bob rathbun had a "medical emergency" on air last night.

 

they say he's doing fine now, and they chalked it up to "dehydration".

Spida had himself a night vs Lebron.

Boston just torching the Suns in Phoenix.  It's a 44 point game with just under 5 min to go in the 3rd.  

[RabidM 2666]

That's not what I was expecting for a match up of the #1 team in the East vs the #1 from the West.  However, this was Paul's first game back after missing a month.  I don't think Phoenix is as bad as they looked tonight, but they don't have the depth they need to win a championship without luck.  The Celtics look good and Robert Williams is going to start playing again in about 2 weeks. 

The Celtics are the #1 team in offensive efficiency in NBA history so far this season.

They’re a machine. I guess we’ll see how it goes in the playoffs.

I flipped it on thinking oh cool #1 Vs #1 for some late night watching. Within like 5 min Boston extended their lead to about 24 and Booker picked up his 4th first half foul

It's not a charge but it's definitely an offensive foul because Sengun uses his off arm to push off the defender. 

[Kermit 3156]

Regardless of the foul, that’s Primo showing his junk in a work setting offensive.

I’m a casual NBA fan. How long has Zion been back?! I woke up this morning to 360 jams on Sportscenter. I’m here for it. My favorite player.

The Suns reaction to that dunk is pretty damn petty.

It's a Chris Paul led team. They are a bunch of front running, soft pussies.

Hopefully he is available for the playoffs to finish what he started. 

[aggie08 21498]

The top 11 teams in the west are only separated by 4.5 games, but NO is currently #1 and have the best point differential in the conference. Cool stuff.
