Good for Jahlil, I'm glad Philadelphia beat the Nets (as are Boston fans, haha).

Karl Anthony-Towns has 26 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, and three blocks.

Unfortunately, Zach is shooting us out of this game.

just as we feared. if we play OK4 down the stretch, we're going to win ballgames.

I still would too. Love that offensive potential too much right now and he's been amazing offensively since Ish joined the team (57% from the field while scoring 21.5 points per 36 not counting tonight).

I think he can legit score 27 ppg on 58% shooting one day. To me Zingy is a guy who can be very good offensively and a great defender but Jahlil can be game breaking good at scoring - especially if he keeps improving his J.

Great day for the rookie bigs.

Saw the first half of the Philly game and Jah was great. Finished with 22/17, 3 blocks, and a team leading +13 in a 5 point win (probably his best overall game over the Portland game).

Turner had 16/4/3.

KAT has 26/16, 3 blocks, and he's 12-19 against a great Bulls frontcourt.

Randle (honorary rookie) has 14/13/4 too.

He's already on a class of his own.

Russell was killing it in the fourth quarter. So what does our genius coach do with about 3 minutes left in a close game?

He brings in Jordan Clarkson (who was also having a fantastic game)................but subs out Russell rather than Lou Williams, who sucked today.

Yeah I say we ban KAT from the thread. He obviously used the Monstars ball to rob the abilities of Anthony Davis.

Just doing what he's best at.

Myles Turner really messed up the symmetry of that stat line with his 4 rebounds. He needed 13 more of them.

Someone poked the holes in this image last time it was posted, as it credits the Cavs coaching with the Clippers draft pick instead of the Cavs for instance. Seems a stretch to credit that, even if the pick was owned by Cleveland.

Pretty sure it was Dock?

Okafor is so good already and is going to be a multiple time all-star imo.

His offensive game is ridiculous and his defence is much better than advertised.

As a poster below me asked, I would also still take Okafor over Porzingis and it's not crazy at all.

Even if they won it with the Clippers pick, I'm pretty sure Cleveland was a bottom 2-3 team that season. Their pick was 4th.

Oh, Scott's a horrible coach. But that doesn't make that info accurate even if it has a truthiness.

Well, what are you trying to measure? Lottery position is going to be a combination of being bad and having luck, both of which are true, even if they won it with someone else's pick.
