Kaminsky with 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assist tonight to help the Suns beat the finals’ favorite Clippers. I said that Kaminsky will go to another team and become a quality player. We mismanage players here.

Frank today: 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. 0-6 from the field.

Didn’t play as much because they were beating the Warriors by over 30 points by halftime.

Is that also why he didn't need to make any shots?

Well he had 14 points and 5 rebounds in 23 minutes tonight to help the Suns get another victory.

Nice to see the Sixers get waxed by a team that can shoot like the Blazers because that’s exactly what’s going to happen to them in the playoffs.

Dude Andre Drummond has been on an absolute tear to start of this season. Dude must want more respect, because basically every game I've snooped on of the Pistons this season hes gone off for like 20-20.

His last 3 games are as follows:
11/2 25 pts, 20 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, 3 steals, on 62% shooting and 83% free throw
11/1 25 pts, 24 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, on 65% shooting and 60% free throw
10/30 21 pts, 22 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block on 59% shooting.....

I'm not sure if he can maintain these numbers, but he is a noticeably more complete player this year then in previous years.
------ also to the guy above-----

Philly pulled it back and won 129-128 off a monster 4th.

What the heck lol. Sixers and Hornets have no history and haven't even played each other yet this season. Confusing Sixers hate is confusing

Not that I have any hate for the 76ers, but a ton of people around the league lost respect for the organization when it was blatanly tanking for picks. I think for alot of Hornets fans we see a strategy that is unfair, but one that we should have been applying since the birth of our organization, and that ticks us off?

Good comeback win. A lot of toughness and resiliency was shown that made me have to eat my words.

Since Kemba come from the Hornets a lot of us still have love for him so I’m rooting for the Celtics in the East.

WTH Houston!
Were called contenders last year. No good team should get smashed like this

I personally think they’re more pretenders than contenders but I’m not surprised. I expect for them to take a while to gel some real chemistry.

In a nutshell Westbrook is better than CP3 but CP3 was a better fit for what the Rockets intended playing style of 3pters and efficiency. Therefore I expect some drop off.

Or is Westbrook the ultimate empty stats guy? Harden achieved a lot more without him.

I wouldn’t consider Westbrook an empty stats guy. His energy and sheer will can lead almost any team in the league to the playoffs with him as the focal point.

It’s just that once you get to the playoffs where the games are more zeroed down to detail it’s easier to take advantage of his weaknesses.

well put.

Warriors beat the Blazers tonight behind 36pts and 13 rebs from Paschall tonight. Looks like they’ve found another 2nd gem.

[BigSlam]

John Collins out for over a 1/4 of the season due to a positive PED test.

Ouch!!

Monk says he beefed up over the summer. Better watch out!!

Well, that's where the MLE would have gone.

I'm still not convinced that he is that much better than what we already have in Cody Z.

And Cody Z doesn't have tattoos that scare me.
