First week of the season that JT deservedly missed PotW nomination. Jaylen among nominees for last week. Herro wins in the East.

What's the special sports event in US today that there's only one NBA game scheduled?

People getting duped by the recent Bucks surge. They're 2-8 vs. .500-and-above teams (and are just taking advantage of recent cupcake schedule.) That's worst among the top 11 teams in the East.

Meanwhile, the Celtics have the best record against .500-and-above teams in the league.

Carsen Edwards has been playing well overseas..carving out a nice career for himself over there.

I doubt he makes it back to the NBA. But that's ok..he's getting lots of playing time, playing well and making good money playing EuroLeague - the best league in the world, outside of the NBA.

Good for him.

I'm not as hard on the Celtics because my Cowboys are just disgusting.

Time will come when us Celtic fans will wish it's 2024 again.

The incompetence and stupidity of the Cowboys is just unbearable.

Enjoy what we have with the Cs right now because a 19-5 record to start a season does not happen very often.

I mean it does happen literally every year under Joe Mazzulla.

They could have given up a few more big runs to Chase Brown to save my fantasy season. Just sayin...

But, IDK what is going on with that organization?

Lillard ain’t happy there. He looked like he’s just doing the motion, and Giannis and his teammates see and feels that.

Commendable effort from the Magic, they fought well without their 2 best players.

I am backing Dallas to beat the Thunder again if they meet in the playoffs

Mavs have OKC shook for some reason.

ConstableGeneva · Post #1639 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Dec 11, 2024 3:37 am

31 three point attempts in a half is bonkers for a team not named Celtics. Forcing 12 turnovers, having 4 more offensive boards, and their three-point volume (12-pt advantage) have kept Thunder in this despite their poor shooting.

OKC even a tougher out once they're fully healthy.
