Towns is on the Harden tier of bad defenders.

ALL THE FEELS, PART II

GG, Bulls fans!

Thrilled we got this one for Pop on his birthday. You could tell he and all our guys were really up for it, as was DeMar. He and the Bulls are a tough defensive cover.

That said, we had seven Spurs in double figures on 35 assists.

If Minnesota had an actual PG, they would be up at least another ten games into this season.

They are? It's a 2 point game
**Now 7...still not "dominating"

Well in fairness we were also in the midst of something like a 21-4 run and were up I think 13 and then they counter punched so it was a strong stretch by us against a very solid, even if depleted, team. Good barometer for us in terms of what our best brings right now.

Cavs are 0.5 a game behind the Bulls now. If they lose on Sunday to the Blazers and we beat Detroit, we'd be in sole possession of 2nd by the end of the weekend.

Miami unfortunately just keeps chugging out win after win so I think 2nd in the East is our ceiling as a team. Not guaranteed we fend off Philly, Milwaukee, and Brooklyn obviously so we could just as easily fall back to like 6th. The East is just a really tough race right now.

Russell just needs to stay healthy, think the Wolves are now 2-10 in the games he has missed

It was the Hornets. They are the worst defensive team in the NBA

They're actually ranked 26th in defensive rating out of 30 teams and against all the other teams worse than them defensively, Westbrook put up worst numbers playing alongside Lebron or AD.

Westbrook doesn't have these kinds of games playing next to Bron or AD because he can't get into his rhythem when he doesn't dominate the ball like he did tonight. He's not the kind of guy that can just take a back seat to two other guys and still be cooking on offense.

Hornets D is really something. I thought our D was bad lol

I mean, the refs did everything they could to kill our transition fast paced game calling 100 fouls and stoppages
crazy that ya'll couldnt win with all that help and Hayward+Oubre+McDaniels out and getting such a throwback performance from WB

better luck next time!

Bruhh why you so mad / salty / petty when ya'll won the game? :lol:

Did you even see the Bridges charge that was called an and-1 in the last minute (that even the Hornets commentators were like WTF that's an offensive foul) that pretty much sealed the game? And the Lamelo bitch move like he was sniped in th head? And you talking about refs :lol:

Oh no ya'll missing a 15ppg guy and a dude who was literally salary-dumped?? I didn't even mention injuries but BRUH talk to me when you missing 70ppg from your top 3 guys. Who the **** is McDaniels :lol:

Learn to enjoy a win man. No fun in betting so petty even in a win.

Hornets played super duper well and it was a good effort from both sides. Take the W.

Yeah man I'm clearly the salty one, not the guy posting 5 laughing emotes to cope. Cheers! Thanks for making the win even sweeter. I'll hit you with the and 1 for that for sure

Is there anyone better than this version of Giannis?

It’s like he is continuing to evolve and get better...

Isn't this a huge problem? Westbrook can help a low-talent team win some games dominating the ball but on a good team with other talented players he's ineffective at best and at times a liability.

Figure most bad teams are going to want to give their young guys minutes and the ball a lot to develop while good teams (or teams hoping to be good) would only want Westbrook in a smaller offensive role that he's not very good at. So where does he fit?

Mitchell Robinson’s FT form is close to Chuck Hayes bad.

No there isn’t and he’s using the season to try new things I think next year at 28 or the next even at 29 you will see him at his apex of skill and athleticism.

Could the Hawks get this iteration of the Lakers this Sunday?

LeBron should be requesting a trade to the Cavs daily. Dude has a chance to once again rule the east and make nonstop trips to the finals even in his golden years. Sexton/Love for LeBron gets it done.

Murray is definitely having an all-star season. Sucks that he might not make it, simply because the West is stacked with guards.
