They found some surprising success playing permanent small ball. Now they've doubled down on that strategy by going even smaller, to not-so-surprising results. :lol:

They are about as legit as we were last year, except their best player is much better than our best player. Their talent is a little more concentrated; hey have 1 superstar and a bunch of very good players + good young prospects compared to Raps who have a bunch of all-stars but no superstars + young prospects.

Scary thing is that Sac will get even better as Nik gets seasoned and they continue to add good shooters around Boogie. Shouldn't write-off Ben Mclemore yet either.

Carmelo is shooting .376% from the field this season :banghead:

He was my first pick and is literally my worst player.

What a stupid play by whoever that was. Ball was literally in the hoop on the way down and he slams it. Could of been a 7 point game.

Cavs not looking too great.

Looks like Denver 1-upped us

Rudy Gay 5-22 FG

I can't fathom how someone let that happen...no wonder the DeRozan/Gay experiment failed miserably. They were both given free reign to chuck, and we know how much they like to do that if allowed to.

Hopefully Lowry can reign in DeRozan's propensity for it.

Pekovic looks awful right now. Difficult to watch at times.

I feel like that Nurkic guy on the Nuggets will be on Shaqtin a Fool every week this season :lol:

That's a good point. I'm not sure DeMar would be an all-star without Lowry.

You can do that in FIBA competitions. And they should make it legal in the NBA, it's a stupid rule.

Um, Kyle Lowry? Boogie Cousins is great but if you don't think Lowry has as much impact on the court, you're mad.

With Masai's talent, that draft pick is going to end up being bundled with Ross for a prime michael jordan.

Rudy looked completely off last night. His body language looked sluggish. He was like 4-13 before Cousins fouled out and then he tried to force issue being are only legit offensive option outside of Collison. Coach Malone said he had the flu after the game, which made sense given everything i saw.
