Friday 11/7 NBA Game Thread - NBA Cup Group Play

[Wallace_Wallace]

Wemby is realizing why AD wants to play with a C.

Although Adam’s looks like a child compare to Wemby, him battling on both sides of the floor can wear Victor out quickly.

If you were wondering it’s chicken taqueria with Spanish (yellow) rice and a chimi sauce

I love yellow rice so very much.

This has nothing to do with anything, but for those of y'all who like to cook, try making crispy tacos by folding the protein in heated corn tortillas, pinning them shut with toothpicks, and deep-frying them. Fry them until they're crispy but still bendable, drain them and take out the picks, and put in the vegetables/cheese/taco sauce. That's true dorado style and it's the best. It's not healthy, but it's a hell of a treat for cheat day or whatever.

Oh, dorado as in golden , thank you for sharing, my friend, what peppers do you recommend adding to tacos?

I love a mix of stewed dark-meat chicken (cooked in lard) with poblanos and white onions. I fry the tacos dorado style, then stuff them with shredded lettuce, white and yellow cheese, Mexican crema agria, and then I like to top each one with a whole cherry tomato-- and plenty of taco sauce, of course (I use red sauce, even on chicken). It's simple comfort food that reminds me of the excellent hundred-year-old Mexican dining room downtown where we used to get our special dinner every Friday night when I was a kid.

Carnitas make excellent dorado-style tacos, also.

82 points with 8:59 left in the 3rd quarter...

WTF Mavs.

Sochan is a negative offensive player, the floor shrinks when he's out there.

But the D... It's just his second game back... Let's give this a minute. He was super efficient last game with good D...

I just can't see anyone with a form like that being a consistent shooter. It's the Ben Simmons issue, and I saw it with Josh Hart as well when he was reluctant to shoot. In a playoff series against good teams, they will treat Sochan like he's a center. He's in the dunkers spot like Ben/Josh and that just gives the opposing center someone to defend, when they're really just defending space and closing off driving lanes.

Interesting that Washington fans are already out on Cam Whitmore. This is why you have to watch other teams. You get caught up with the numbers, but the eye test shows dude should be playing in a 1-on-1 league.

Same thing as why Giannis refuses to play center. It's hard to physically bang inside with centers, and dudes who mentally want to play on the perimeter are out of place as true centers, they just don't view the game in the way they need to to do all the little things you ideally want a big man doing.

Leave the Mavs alone that’s not important

It’s Friday night and you seem sober , I’m starting to worry

You forget I'm Aussie and it's Saturday, thinking of drinking later.

Whats the point of getting the #1 pick if you're using him as a role player?

Kidd is an idiot.

OK , all is good then

really proud of this man

I’m pretty sure rookie Cade couldn’t do that first dunk.

Whatever strength and agility training he’s getting, it’s really made a difference. He actually looks like a good NBA athlete now, not just a crafty guy with a nice middie.

Poblanos, yummy ...

Continuing with the BS theme, Sochan's 'improved/reformed' form was smooth and clicking in off-season social media clips.

Then you get into game action and for some reason the mighty hitch from 3 returns. It's a tough mental hurdle+body memory to overcome. Either he will or won't at this point. His next contract depends on it, for incentive.

Sheppard is hitting shots and finding open shooters, hand him the keys

[Special_Puppy]

Mavericks lmao

[chilluminati]

4th quarter Cade became 3rd quarter Cade today so he could sit for the 4th, in a Cup game too. I know it's against the Nets, I'm just not used to all this winning yet. It's been 17 years

[TroubleS0me]

sigh..if Wemby had a post game

[bstein14]

Jalen Duren might end up being a finalist for MIP this season. He's taken a clear step forward this year.... still just 21 years old in year four.

[tmorgan]

I’m still skeptical he’ll keep it up, but I gotta give Duren credit. Claxton’s not a big guy but he’s a solid defender, and he can’t do anything to contain JD. Too strong, too quick.

We may indeed regret not locking him up at a lower number, and the odds he gets a fat offer in RFA are going up.
