Watching the Knicks lose to Atlanta. If they don't get it together soon, it may be another lost season. They need to move the ball better, defend the pick and roll better.

Oh, and J.R. Smith is the league's biggest douche.

Why on earth wouldn't you play to your players strength and maximize their potential. Irving where he's most effective, playing on the wing, and Lebron as the primary ball handler where he can facilitate and find Love and Irving on the wings.

Marion still has enough juice to play x man in that scheme as a starter.

Irving, Lebron, Marion, sideshow bob and Love in a starting lineup would be tough to handle on both ends.

Why pacify Irving by playing him as a point guard, might as well entertain a Rondo swap at that point.

Except Rondo can't shoot.

Cleveland gave up 111 points tonight ... and won by 7 over New Orleans. Offense at its finest.

The full Bulls roster played tonight. Rose, Jimmy Butler and Noah all suited up. They beat Detroit but I am not so sure the Wizards will beat the Pistons. It was just a four point game with 2 minutes left.

The real hero of that game was rookie SG Joe Harris, with +18 in only 20 minutes. Looks like the Cavs have a Big 4.

Who?

This may become my broken record mantra, but it's time for another garrett Temple career game. Has he ever scored 20 points? There's always a first time GT. Five 3s, a layup, and three FTs will do it. Pistons can't stop you.

I don't think J. Smith is going to be as efficient as he was tonight...every night. Nor do I think the Pistons will shoot 50% from 3pt land all the time. Drummond should be better next game, he was complete trash in this game.

The Spurs came back to beat the Clippers. Eight turnovers for the Clippers in the fourth quarter to only one for the Spurs. San Antonio knows how to move the ball. The Clippers depend on Chris Paul to hold the ball.

The Knicks just lost to Orlando. Let me say again -- if they don't turn it around soon, it's gonna be a lost season for them.

Tonight, at the end of the game, J.R. Smith demonstrated yet AGAIN why you don't ever want him on your team. Yeah, his stats look good, but they're empty and hollow -- like a politician's campaign speech.

I thought it was a lost season before it began and then they somehow beat the Cavaliers but even then it was moreso because the Cavs were disjointed and Melo had a great game.

Kind of like tonights game, I wonder if SVG can get more out of this team by later in the season?

Nah, they already blew their season when they signed the wrong Butler.

Wow...I really envy the Pelicans. Their frontline rotation is godly...Eyebrow, Asik, Anderson, and Withey.

Their backcourt situation is horrendous though...Gordon is clearly done, and Evans can't shoot a lick. They could really use a shooter on the wings.

Post #1714 » by **pineappleheadindc** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 4:13 am

Whoa Kobe took 28 shots tonight. He's gonna have to start icing his arm after each game like a starting baseball pitcher.

Houston set an NBA record by making at least 10 threes the first eight games. No other team in history has accomplished that feat.. Ariza hit three.

The Rockets are currently 1st in the NBA in three point field goal percentage defense.

I watched Houston beat Minnesota. The Rockets are deep and I think have a legitimate chance at winning it all.

If Cleveland and OKC don't get it together this season, I think both Conferences are wide-open.

Of course you can never count out the Spurs.

I don't believe in James Harden. He's been horrible in his last 3 playoff series (vs. MIA in 2012 Finals, vs. OKC in 2013, and vs. PDX in 2014).

He still doesn't play good defense.

Their front court depth also is a concern.

Ariza has helped big time.

pancakes3 · Post #1718 » by **pancakes3** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:05 pm

No argument that Harden's deeply flawed/incomplete but with all the injuries it doesn't take much convincing that this could be a year where someone can get hot and win one like the Mavs did in '11.

Halftime score of Dallas vs Philly

73-29

The Sacramento Kings are about to go 6-3 and give the Grizzlies a loss in Memphis. They'll be 7-2 after tonight.

The Kings started off with a 38-16 lead after one quarter.

Cousins and Gay are balling. One guy who's really putting it together now is Ben McLemore.

Darren Collison at PG has done even better than Isaiah Thomas. He's more of a distributor and he's athletic. He defends. I didn't think he'd be an improvement over Thomas but he has been.
