Hey Al, watch out for Bazemore's elbows!


The goal is to beat the 09 Celtics start at 27-2 8-) damn that team was so good...I remember we started 20-2 in 08 and that hyped Pistons game came where Ray went off late in the 4th and then Tony Allen bit on that Billups pump fake that pretty much ended the game.

Per one projection model, we're favored to win the next 10 games and 19 of next 20 (@SAS lone exception). 538 CARMELO has us favored to win the next 10 and 31 of the next 32 lol.


Likely not going to happen but it would be god damn sweet if we broke the Lakers 33 game winning streak :lol:

I’m surprised teams guard Smart at all from 3.

Have to watch the Hawks feed tonight. Dominique Wilkins is such a homer. Bob Rathbun is worse.

May have to mute the game.

One benefit of watching opposing team feeds though is you learn more about those teams.

We almost already know everything possible about the Cetlics, so it can be fun learning some of the inner stories of other teams.

Well, he shoots the same from 2 as 3, might as well just shoot the 3.

Kyrie’s weirdness kinda reminds me of Rondo a little bit.

Celtics by 30 tonight. Too much of a trap game to be a trap game. These guys made it close last time, our guys won’t make the same mistake again

It's noticeable. They track no. of dribbles and touch time prior to shot attempts too. I bet those increased this season. Bring back ball movement!

He's due ...I think preseason success and GH injury have caused Smart to try and do way too much offensively end and it has worked against him >

He is due for some stellar play and better shooting, -

This teams biggest chance to improve this year is if Smart can shoot over 30% from 3 and 40% from the floor and if Rozier can get to 40 and 35.

I'm betting on Smart going 7/7 from the 3-point line today.

Kyrie should practice with the mask on. It might help him get used to it during the game.

I dunno, he seems like basically the same guy he’s been. “When Smart learns to shoot” is the new “When Sully gets in shape” which was the new “When Rondo learns to shoot” (which I guess he eventually did many years too late).

I got the Atlanta feed unfortunately. Hey 'Nique why don't you get torched for 60 by Bird again?
Hey Man, nice shot!
