It's crazy how the Clippers inept coaching/FO and Kawhi is blowing one of the greatest late career surges in NBA history. Harden somehow at 36 is playing at top 10 player level.

Vintage Harden performance. Was fun to watch. What he's is doing this season at 36 years old is really impressive. He's now averaging:

• 28.4 points
• 6.0 rebounds
• 8.5 assists
• 40.8% from 3 on 10.1 attempts
• 65.4 TS%

Those are elite numbers for any age. He's been ridiculous. Just wish it was on a better team.

Gonna be an interesting game between the Knicks @ Magic coming up.

Magic still need to make a move to land a PG, and I have zero faith in the Knicks. Part of it is my bias as a Pistons fan, but the other is not seeing Thibs on the sideline. Say whatever you want about him, he got that Knicks team to play HARD, and they don't look the same.

Long season, so we'll find out. Just an early observation.

It rains here all the time, but I mean my entire country is named after local word ''lietus'' which means rain. It was even raining in Vegas last night, I mean I am not not in Vegas, but I was watching F1, and it was raining...

You are not one of those freaks who consider Sunday first day of the week, or are you?

Yup. If Kon isn’t aggressive, he can easily drop to being the 4th option in that starting lineup.

Because Melo, Bridges, and Miller all love getting their shots.

And it’s one thing for a promising rookie to drop to the 4th option on a good team. It’s very different when you drop to the 4th option behind those 3 on a bad team

Shamet trots to the locker room, may have a dislocated shoulder after a collision on a screen.

Kon is the wagyu patty on a steak sandwich made with moldy bread and ketchup. He deserves better.

Knicks have been playing 8-5 whole game. This is Lakers Kings level cringeworthy refereeing
