    Suns need to attack Luka more on defense. He's unstoppable on offense so the best way to slow him down is gas him out on the defensive end.

    Nurk with 2 3's already tonight.

    Nurk's shot has been looking better and better. Glad that hasn't been abandoned.

    Apparently Booker has been battling some illness. That explains why he's looked a bit off.

    Giannis played a much more physically draining style. KD plays on the perimeter for the most part.

    I think we all missed to an extent because he's not a PG and we didn't envision him elsewhere on the floor. He seems to be doing well for Cleveland in a weird sort of SF/PG role though. He's classified as a SG now but he's kind of position-less. He plays like a point forward like a Kyle Anderson...

    Yeah. He's playing off ball more. He's a good playmaker but far too slow to be a PG. He mainly plays as a SG but also sees time as a SF, kind of like Grayson. It works for him and Cleveland.

    That's the benefit of good ball movement. If they double someone then someone else is open. Last year the team would try to overcome double teams and fail but they seem more committed to moving the ball now. It's not perfect but it is much improved.

    AD is always injured. He has brief moments of confidence that allows him to play.

    I think the top of the East is much better. Boston is in a league of their own. OKC is the only Western team that can compete in a 7 game series vs Cleveland, New York, and Indiana. Even the weaker teams like Orlando will be tougher matchups than the 5-8 seeds in the West. The West has depth...

    For a regular season win in November? You can be Durant supporter all day long but unless he's helping win games in June and July then he isn't worth trading for.

    They are a Curry injury from a slide in the standings. Happens every year. They rely on him more now so it won't be pretty.

    Suns defense has been non existent. They'll need to step it up in the 2nd half.

    He's been successful taking those shots everywhere else he's been. It seems like you weren't familiar with who he was. He shot 39% from 3 before the All-Star break with his role changing every other game. He never had time to adjust and settle into a role until towards the end of the year when...

    Suns playing Vogel-esque defense. Leaving corners open while playing a weird zone of sorts. Maybe Nurkic being back in helps solve that. Having a smaller guy in the paint required help defense also, which caused corners to collapse.

    I don't get how some said losing Gordon was addition by subtraction. He's been really good for Philadelphia tonight. He helped keep the Suns afloat while Beal was out last season also.

    Cavs win it. They're 8-0 now. They have a strong lineup. As long as Donovan Mitchell buys in and plays as part of the system they could go far. Even if he doesn't, they can add some quality depth trading him. Garland, Mitchell, Okoro, Mobley, Allen with Niang, Sam Mitchell, Caris LaVert, and...

    Darius Garland is legit. He has 39 with 7 assists. 7-11 from 3. He's showing up Lillard, who has 36. Garland is the real deal though.

    Watching the Bucks/Cavs game and the Bucks are awful. No Giannis but they were up by 8 with 6 minutes to go. The Cavs held them scoreless through the 2 minute mark and went ahead by 2. Tied now at 108. Not sure why Giannis is out but they have no depth.

    Heres the video of Hayes. It's not as bad as Miles Bridges but it's bad. Dude is a POS. No place for that anywhere, especially the NBA. He spat on his girlfriend after pushing her. https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/02/jaxson-hayes-sofia-jamora-2021-incident-surveillance/

    I don't blame Embiid for confronting the "journalist". You don't disrespect someone's dead brother and son. Embiid handled it like damn near any man would. He didn't throw a punch. I wouldn't have held against Embiid if he slapped the taste out to the guys mouth but he didn't. We don't know the...

    Scoot also cost them Lillard. There are other ways they could have gone but they made it clear to Dame that Scoot was their PG and they wanted to hand him the keys to the franchise immediately.

    Prior to today's game, 3.2 assists to 3.4 turnovers a game. He had 2 assists and 3 turnovers today. So he's in the negative, for sure. After the Portland game he has 20 turnovers and 18 assists in 6 games.
