which rookie has most ast in game this year - ball, fox, simmons or teodisic?

Post #102 » by **JDR720** » Fri Oct 20, 2017 5:48 pm

Ball because he will dominate the ball more.

I did and it was pretty great. Batum isn't one to get snippy on Twitter so thought it was interesting that he responded.

probably not a coincidence that the 3rd most upvoted post on r/nba is:

Anyone notice how no one wished Lin a speedy recovery and their prayers? (self.nba)

In 35 mins Vuvevic put up 41 and 12 with 6 threes and a +15
The other 13 mins was Biyombo with 3 points, 1 board and -20

Theory: Silas is about to get a call from Phoenix.

If they want Silas they have to trade us Marv + Silas for Eric Bledsoe.

Should we just get rid of Twitter? Bledsoe just became the elephant in the room and now the team will suffer until he's let go. What happened to high character guys?

Interesting alternate take on guarding against player injuries.

The beginning of this season has been utter carnage. Do relentless training schedules without adequate recovery time contribute as much as 82 games and back to backs?

Jason Kidd and other coaches say shortening the training camp by ten days has indeed contributed:

Donovan Mitchell looking good tonight.

I liked the Paul George trade for Indiana, you rarely get great value trading a star but they got 2 good prospects who are looking good.
Dipo and Westbrook were just a bad pairing last year

So...CLE just got embarrassed by 20 at home against a 1-3 NYK team.

Emeka Okafor is playing right now in the G-League

Benjamin Linus · Post #119 » by **Benjamin Linus** » Fri Nov 3, 2017 11:38 pm

Surprising. Emeka seemed like he was never really into basketball. At least that was the impression I got from him. I figured after the neck injury and not playing for 4+ years and with all of the money he's made he would be far removed from the NBA and would be off investing or whatever he's into. Is he doing this for fun? I mean, he can't be any good / no way he's making an NBA roster.

French Frank looked good today in the Knicks come back win. Having Porzingis to throw it too makes the game a lot easier. Some of his assists were purely Porzingis being unguardable.

Frank's defence is very nice though
