ATL - Nico gets the boot

Couldn't help but watch the Spurs tonight and envision Giannis with the reins to that offense. They could eat the Thunder's lunch with him, IMO.

Wemby gotta learn some back to the basket play or teams are gonna stick guys like Caruso on him all the time (quick hands playing at the ball when getting into his shot). Iggy used to get KD with the same D back in the day.

And he’s going to get injured. That body was flailing around in every direction last night. And getting twisted and pulled in every direction.

Now granted, even when being bothered he’s still got ridiculous hand coordination to get effective shots off.

In the least surprising news ever, the Thunder lose when SGA is only gifted 4 free throws.

Spurs are awesome at pushing the ball. Bucks get the rebound and hand the ball off to the fastest guy, who tries to run the floor. Spurs were running multiple guys out for passes, pushing it much harder. And it wasn’t just Fox. Guys like Barnes were equally as effective. Just shows a real difference in coaching.

Cavs lose to the Hornets after being held scoreless in OT.

Pacers who have looked much better since getting almost everyone back got rocked by the Wizards last night, similar vibes to us based on Carlisle's quotes.

Hornets are Kon’s team now.

I’d offer them Giannis for Kon and Miller. Won’t happen but I’d do it.

All of a sudden the NBA has a pretty solid all Wisconsin tram

Big gap between Thunder, Rockets, Nuggets, Spurs and everyone else. Ridiculous.

Along with Thunder/Spurs from Saturday. When I saw it was close I tuned in for the 4th tonight.

One of the most impressive things about his offensive game is that he's not being carried by getting hot from outside. Last night he was 1-4 from three. In his 35 point game, he was 0-3. He's dominating by driving relentlessly with both hands while also taking advantage of his post game. Here is his shot chart from last night.

Luckily he'll never play Tyler Smith as a Buck.

Just did a great standup routine to my kid about how slow Luke Kornet looked trying to close out on a 3. It was pretty high end observational stuff.

Is anyone still against the Cup existing? Is it meaningless? Sure. But I think it has overall been a positive. They need to reconsider Vegas, figure out schedule a little better, give a benefit to the winning team of the actual cup, increase money for All-Cup team/winners....but overall not a bad product by NBA standards
