Did Rozier shave the area code 317 in his hair or use a mirror to make a statement (LIE).

Deep thoughts.

Ilyasova is such a weird looking dude.

Wtf. SGA a 93% FT shooter just bricked two in a row. Clippers missing FT will bite them on the road.

SGA another 3! Bingo! If he had those last FT's he'd have 14 in the half.

Their defense is awful, but they do have Booker back now so their offense is stronger. He was missing for multiple games for them.

SGA is showing you EXACTLY why I constantly harp on him for not shooting enough. I get he's a rookie, but even NOW the 4th best scorer on this team when he's in attack mode after Lou/Harris/Gallo.

That offense got them 65 wins last season. They played the same exact way. Last year it worked.

It didn’t work because it’s failed the last three years. The way they play is garbage. You “ball movement and three point crazy” lovers just don’t want to face the music.

Meanwhile the 8-2 Bucks just went from 25th to 3PA to like 2nd and their scheme is all about ball movement under Bud.

I legit completely forgot that Snell is on this Bucks team.

Aside from Giannis Milwaukee shoots a 3 on almost every possession.

That's the point for them. He drives/slashes inside and kicks it out to shooters. This team is actually kind of how the Lakers and Philly should be built.

The bucks got coaching and length....they all prototypes of the new nba....funny watching Durant facing 5 guys tall enough and quick enough to play him man on man...and then take the pick and let the switch happen...lol

Remember a few seasons ago when Bucks had the Bulls in the playoffs. They couldn't hit a 3 to save their life, now they are attempting and making them at a remarkable clip. For those who say preseason doesn't mean much, anyone who watched them a few times saw this coming. Bud is gunning for COY, even over Nurse IMO.

Have they played the wiz yet?

Clips hold Blazers to 40% shooting, yet down 4 due to FT disparity. Also doesn't help that Harrell and SGA both went 0-2 at the line in two possessions. Hitting 3 of those=1 point game.

Lopez determined to shoot 3s regardless of how contested it is.

The 2018 Rockets were NOT about ball movement - their offense was very iso-centric and similar to the Kyrie/LeBron Cavs + extreme foul drawing. I know they didn’t win a championship, but 65 wins and taking the Warriors to 7 games sure qualifies as “successful” to me - even though they weren’t very fun to watch.

Now the 2017 and prior Rockets WERE ball movement teams. They were not as strong offensively as last season’s Rockets, but I did like watching them more.
