Isn't LeBron the primary ballhandler?


I have only seen the Cavs once so far and that was right at the start of the season. Back then Irving definitely had a lot of possession. Not sure if they have changed that since then. :dontknow:

Either way it doesn't really matter all that much. Even without LeBron Irving was always a SG in a PGs body. The complete opposite of Rubio. Personally, I prefer if a PG is looking to distribute the ball rather than trying to be the highest scorer on the team. I recognize, though, since handchecking was forbidden it's easier than it ever was for a PG to take it directly to the basket.


LeBron has shifted into his old point forward role. He's doing most of the distributing now.

Blazers have one 9 straight games. I can't even imagine that. How the hell do these teams just rattle off 5, 6 wins like nothing? Have the wolves ever in their history won 9 straight games?

Idk if they were going for the gyro/Euro pun or not since Giannis is Greek, but that wasn't really a Euro step at all. Was very nice though.

I still remember people saying Kemba is better than Rubio. And when Kemba got his extension Rubio should be paid with the same.
Charlotte is a mess. Good thing about the East is its so bad you can still catch up even with a bad start

Their "Alfense" is not working because Jefferson is struggling
MKG is injured
Kemba and Lance cant play together. No spacing overall
They really miss McBob

In 5 games, Brady Heslip is averaging almost 35 ppg, .542 FG, and 45/75 from deep(.600 3PFG) under 30 minutes in Dleague.
Yeah its Dleague but wow

This. I didn't like that signing when they did it. I'm not surprised, tbh.

He is attempting 15 threes a game and making 9 of them, impressive.. We should somehow free Rosterspots to sign Heslip and if Adrien pans out to be the athletic above the Rim PF/C that we lack him as well.. who would be the candidates to get cut though?

Dante Cunningham signed with New Orleans. Happy for him, that ex of his really screwed him over.

The Hawks have snuck up on everyone and are second in the East. They never really get any credit.
