Sorry I know this is a NBA board, but Ohtani is unreal. I'm not even a baseball fan, but somehow he has me watching it. Unbelievable!

The MJ of baseball 8-)

Reaves last 4 FTA were from deliberate fouls last night.

So it was 18 before

And now Cam Johnson has a 3 shot flagrant and the ball for a blatant landing space violation. Hope he can get it going.

Thankfully Murray is hitting as the Twolves have chosen to go under the screen up high. Edit: jinxed it.

God, what the hell was that Caleb Love? Be ready to shoot.

Too early to say that The Nets are the worst team in the league ?

What happened

Holiday swung the ball to him on the wing. There was a closeout from a Laker and he dropped the ball and luckily Koloko (who may have injured his shoulder) knocked it out of bounds. In the NBA, wings and bigs close quickly, but if they block your shot, so be it. You have to be ready to put it up on a catch and shoot.

Correct, your math is impressive.

But still they are maybe better than I what I thought they would be. Might have to start watching them on league pass.

Detroit, Orlando and Atlanta are all supposed to be real playoff teams, so I will take the wins.

To close out the month and through the first half of November we have,

SAC
NYK
@NYK
PHI
@MIL
@CLE
SA
@DET

Things get real ugly after the Kings game. If we beat the Kings and split with the Knicks I think we can eat those losses and walk into the rematch with Detroit at 5-5.

I am sure plenty of folks and talking heads will be dumping on the Bulls for 'regressing to the mean' but that schedule is such a nightmare you can't expect a lot. Going from Brunson/KATx2 into Embiid/Maxey, Giannis, the Cavs and then god damned Wemby is about as rough as it gets for a 6 game stretch in the East.

Nice pick n roll Reaves/Ayton

Chuck Everett · Post #234 » by **Chuck Everett** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:23 am

Dillingham is so tiny out there, he has to jump to make simple lob passes.

SlimShady83 · Post #235 » by **SlimShady83** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:24 am

This Lakers game is gold.

doogie_hauser · Post #236 » by **doogie_hauser** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:25 am

Is it just me or are the refs constantly out to still screw Joker and Niggets over

Denver fans have every right to feel bitter at the officiating

Chuck Everett · Post #237 » by **Chuck Everett** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:26 am

Great ball movement by the Nuggets.

Wallace_Wallace · Post #238 » by **Wallace_Wallace** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:26 am

Denver is heating up big time!

Their shooting is much better this season.

The4thHorseman · Post #239 » by **The4thHorseman** » Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:27 am

Ayton got that close jumper looking smooth for 10pts
