Monday 11/10 NBA Game Thread

AD a late scratch for the Mavs. Gafford and Dwight Powell are really going to really have their hands full with Giannis tonight. Probably safer for AD considering how hard Giannis crashes Glass

I see Tre Jones has picked up from the arc on the Bulls where he left off on the Spurs...

:lol: Spurs announcer calling Kornet, French vanilla

When we have the double big Wemby Luke tandem they're French Vanilla lol

[Dr Aki]

Lakers are much more fun to watch when the threes go in

Lakers pulling away after looking like another trap game early

Wish they had dropped more so I could have bet more on them. It was obvious.

Cade in full chuck mode tonight. 8/27, Duren has the next most attempts with 8. Wizards hanging around

Mitch counters the three guards lineup with the three bigs lineup - Wemby, Sochan, Olynyk.

Cade up to 30 shot attempts with a fair bit of third quarter left

Nobody else is there to shoot lol. 6 rotation players out tonight.

[MrGoat]

Cade with 35 attempts at the end of the third. His previous career high was 34 attempts

[Wolfgang630]

Cade has 35 shots on dog **** efficiency and this is who people hype up as an MVP….

I'm just plugging in. The box score looks good at the half, but how do the Spurs look tonight?

Yeah I don't see the problem with Cade having a game like this once in a while.

The team needs him to score. He's had a very efficient season so far scoring, and he's clearly demonstrated that he's more that willing to pass the ball throughout his short career.

Now, I'm not watching the game, but I'm guessing the defensive game plan has been to not double/trap him as much as possible. It's the time of gameplan that simply makes sense against a dual scoring/playmaking threat like Cade when his team is short handed.

Being aggressive in times like this is exactly how a player Cade takes the next step into supertardom, vs worrying about stats or turning down the pressure, which is exactly what a weaker team like the Wizards wants.

They have different playstyles, but both are taller point guards who are relied upon to both score and ccreate plays every game, anfd but the one thing I've been so impressed with Luka is how he is constantly aggressive. Certain dual offensive threat players lean towards maintaining efficiency when they are having a bad offensive game, and while discretion with shot selection and playing efficient ball is not always a bad thing by any means, I think the mindset to remain aggressive is what really separates the greats and the goods, especially when your team is short handed.

So JJ playing Luka 40 minutes in a easy win… JJ… don’t risk Luka’s health for stats bro

[cupcakesnake]

Paolo has awful shot selection. It's the main thing holding him back.

[GeorgeSears]

Outside of the injuries, and poor coaching by Kidd, the reality is that Cooper Flagg has been bad 10 games in.

You compare that to Luka's first 10 games, where he went 19.6 ppg, 6.3 Reb, 4.4 assists, on 46% shooting 40% from 3 and panic starts to set in. How good is Flagg really going to be?

Some rookies are slower starters than others, but it's not good so far.

Cade with 0.75 PPS tonight. Jesus.
