Interesting that this takes place on the same day Zu had his best performance of the season (quite the low bar to hurdle), but I think Chandler is an upgrade over Zubac. Certainly should be better protecting the rim and rebounding for the second unit than Zubac or any small-ball 5 Luke has been throwing out there.Sounds like the Lakers will soon acquire and older, more brittle version of JaVale McGee. Zubac's days as a Laker are numbered.
so just a couple more than the number of threes attempted?92 free throws in 76ers-Pistons
I’m not sure that chandler is really a good comparison for McGee. Chandler is a smarter and much better defensive player.Sounds like the Lakers will soon acquire and older, more brittle version of JaVale McGee. Zubac's days as a Laker are numbered.
yeah, but they were without their best player.so Toronto was up 42-17 over the Lakers after 1 quarter. Might need a little more than Tyson Chandler
I was at this game last night. The Lakers were about as discombobulated as a team could be. Somehow they couldn't figure out how to defend a pick and roll - Toronto would run it and both guys would be open.so Toronto was up 42-17 over the Lakers after 1 quarter.

that doesn't sound good. Not sure how Walton can turn half of these things around. i was surprised with the win in Portland the night before, but it sounds like that was one of those Lebron games where he just said "give me the ball" and he won it himself.I was at this game last night.

I'm not too worried about last night. They obviously checked out mentally and were doing all kinds of stupid stuff. I think partially because they got the win the night before and also because Leonard was a no show. If that continues through the year it'll be an issue, they need to learn people are coming after them every single game now, there are no nights off.that doesn't sound good.

you guys are in for at least a fun season
Just read his article about his background before the Warriors. Stories like his where he kept grinding no matter or what basketball opportunity presented itself are my favorite. You can see it in his play too - completely different type of hustle from guys like thatReally like McKinnie.
Could he motivate Dray to work on his outside stroke, because holy hell JFC.Just read his article about his background before the Warriors.

34.2% before Durant. 30.3% with Durant. If I am surrounded by that current team, I probably dga? about making/missing 3s eitherCould he motivate Dray to work on his outside stroke, because holy hell JFC.
they will probably go undefeated the rest of the way take that to the bank bromigoMagic 100% on game winners in month of November. Could be a trend.
Zion is a freaking beast. He's the new age Barkley/Larry Johnson.I know this is the NBA thread but holy #### did Duke look good tonight. Like a video game. They'd give Cleveland a run for their money right now.
Unfortunately for him he may be a Cav next year.Zion is a freaking beast. He's the new age Barkley/Larry Johnson.
Brooklyn needs to tank like hell.I know this is the NBA thread but holy #### did Duke look good tonight. Like a video game. They'd give Cleveland a run for their money right now.
Don't think they're bad enough to be in the top 3 pick discussion.Brooklyn needs to tank like hell.
They're not, and it's so disheartening. This should've been a stars-aligning year for them - finally getting their pick back, some world-beating NBA prospects tearing up college basketball...And this is the season they jump from horrible to mediocre.Don't think they're bad enough to be in the top 3 pick discussion.
I'm here!Plenty of room left on the Nuggets bandwagon if you guys want on. Choo choo!
CJM thought so, too.Strangest looking sight of the night was watching Donte DiVincenzo on the floor.
That combination of body size and athleticism makes absolutely no sense at all.Zion is a freaking beast. He's the new age Barkley/Larry Johnson.
If that guy had been born thirty years earlier there is no doubt he would have played at NC State for Jim Valvano, right alongside Tom Gugliotta/Chris Corchiani/Vinny Del Negro.Strangest looking sight of the night was watching Donte DiVincenzo on the floor. That is one goofy looking dude.
He picked a great time to remember he was a 30% career 3-point shooter there, thankfully. Dude was unconscious from behind the arc tonight.Rose is going to steal money from some team in the off-season.
modogg said:Oladipo really is something. crazy how that change of scenery has helped him so much, and crazy it wasn't just a one year anomaly
he was blowing by Covington last night like he wasn't even there and Cov is a 1st team all defensive guy
He had some help - the Laker "defense" is horrific right now.The Kansas Comet said:He picked a great time to remember he was a 30% career 3-point shooter there, thankfully. Dude was unconscious from behind the arc tonight.
The Suns totally gagged. Multiple times.No way the Celtics should have won that game against the Suns last night. Kyrie was ridiculous! Not only the scoring either, couple great passes, steals and even a solid defensive play on Booker in OT. He willed them to that win, an incredible performance.
