A just wow update, on my late-diagnosed torn tendons. So was to have the first rehab session today -- but the hospital called me to give me a heads up that each session would be $660... $660 an hour. So they said maybe try to get a new prescription for rehab outside the hospital. Lol, you think?

Kyrie gets hammered by the League -- to forfeit $816,898 in salary (2 games) and pay $50,000 in fines for violating Covid protocols. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30717575/kyrie-irving-fined-50000-rejoin-brooklyn-nets-saturday-five-day-quarantine Ironically, Harden and Irving are the only 2 players to be fined for health and safety violations...

Combo guard who can play the 2 or wing with a growing game scouted as having the ability to score at 3 levels? Would/will be a good commit, his game is growing

LaVert is a career 33% 3-point shooter currently shooting 35%. He hit 36% last year. Oladipo is a 35% career 3-pt shooter currently shooting 36%

The Rockets got a home run out of this

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice.... or better

But Kyrie was so good in Boston! 😀 Yeah I imagine in will be 'fun' for them at first. I could be wrong, but I just don't see how Irving, Harden and Durant co-exist well. All are ball dominant, and especially Irving and Harden. I didn't think the Harden-Westbrook experiment would work, this actually looks worse to me.

I'm going to walk back a bit my initial thinking on Houston. I've been thinking Houston is a mess. Well, it is -- with Harden. This may actually end up a win win, for Vic, and the P's. Houston has picks and now without Harden a team that can share the ball better and without the idiotic drama. Interested to see how the Rockets re-shape going forward.

It's crazy -- imo -- that Harden and co wanted him to join the Nets, and now has. How many basketballs are on the court?

Vic is a better shooter. Levert is younger, healthier, and probably a better long-term fit, especially considering the talk surrounding Vic's contract and interest in other teams, even if the talk was overblown (I think it was but still)

That would be what I said lol

Wow, Vic to the Rockets - package deal, Caris Lavert

Best D? Completely depends on the coaching system and team. I'm fine with CAM's D -- It's a top 15 D. But we have to adjust better to 4 and 5-out spread offenses, we have to learn how to extend the pack line better.

It's not simply three-point shooting. In the Neb game Neb sagged off guys like Galloway and Race, and then, as planned, got out running on the break off the long misses. They also spread out their offense on the other end. Teams are beating the pack line not by just hoisting 3's, but by going 4 or 5-out which spreads out the pack line and opens lanes. Hell I learned that coaching youth basketball, it's a traditional way to play against the pack line, in youth basketball it's touted as positionless ball to help teach all players how to move the ball on offense. This isn't a criticism of the pack line, Bennet, Sean Miller et al run it, it's just that the way the players extend/move within the pack line to adjust to spread offenses is something they have to adjust to.

I'd still put the crate in for the mother in law.

Gee, guess they weren’t playing at home ... 😂

Fixed it for you lol It's a wacky season for sure, whether/to what extent playing almost every game at home, on your own floor, with your recognize sight lines, and as in Wisc with you absurdly prejudicial refs, benefits a team is a question we can all debate for sure, but for me, absolutely believe playing almost all your games at home benefits a team

That's just nuts. Talk about imbalance. We'll see how things pan out as we play more home games and the others play more road games.

Damn has to be some kind of (bad) record

GS gets the 1 point w over Toronto but Curry goes 2-16.

Damn. He’s been having such a good run

Lonzo Ball got almost all of the attention when the Lakers took him, but Lamelo is now the youngest NBA player to get to a triple double, as a young rookie. I really haven't watched the kid play much, just may be a special player in the making after all.

Agree, though Juwan’s outside shooting numbers weren’t good. TJD has barely shown an outside game (though I think his shooting could be good), definitely needs to

He’s 6’9, can’t be a five, but of course the League is now mostly small ball. He has to show/develop his shooting and finish over both shoulders. Juwan Morgan is in the League. How many here thought he would be? TJD absolutely can play in the nba, with continuing work, but again whether he’s a first rounder still in question - I think he can get there but we’ll see
