So many threes....


They’re playing 4 on 5 defense because Demar is on the ground taking naps on the other end, and 2 of those 4 defenders are Vooch and Coby.

Impossible to win games in the NBA if that’s the route you’ve decided to go.

Yikes! 90 points through 3 quarters. This is a big disappointment win or lose. Our stars (Lavine, Vuc, DDR) need to keep matching the energy that role guys like Green and Ayo come with.

I feel like Lonzo put a bunch of energy in spurts, and then played a lil slower at other times and it translated into runs by Rockets. Tough to say that, because Lonzo's been the lead for our only solid stretches basically.

I wonder if the early season energy is started to fade away

I dont even care if we come back and win. We should treat it as a bad loss regardless. These guys are wide open on shots. Regardless if they have been off all this time, they are hitting everything tonight. Guard someone!

Yes and no. I think they have been looking at Miami way too far ahead

Not to mention we've legit seen the bulls do it multiple times this season already. I mean what evidence do you need lol

If you could find a statistic that actually showed blowouts are way down as compared to in year's past, that would be a start. I don't believe this is the case, but I could be wrong.

WFH has allowed me to watch a TON of games a day and I will back the notion that double digit leads aren't safe anymore. Hell just this last week we saw the Warriors drop like 40 in the 4th on the Cavs (I think they were down like 19), Portland come back from being down 25(?) against us and the Lakers erase a 25 point deficit against the Pistons.

Not looking to jump in the middle of the back and forth you guys have going but I would say it SEEMS that large leads aren't safe anymore.

I mean is that a statistic they even keep track of? I would love to obviously show you evidence besides my eyes lol. But with how the NBA has changed with shooting 3's at a way higher clip and playing much more at a faster pace it just happens a lot more now.

Why does Adam insist the basketball is "alive" every time someone tips a rebound?
