After a rough start to the year, Goran Dragic is averaging 22.2 points, 5.4 assists and shooting 58 percent in five games since Isaiah Thomas got hurt. Perhaps building a team around 3 point guards isn't really the best way to maximize everyone's abilities. Who knew?

Same here. Aside from the Dubs da Bulls during the Noah era have been my second favorite team. Just love the way he plays.

Depends if he would be forced to use the triangle or not. If he wasn't then I could see the Knicks becoming a poor man's 7 seconds or less Suns.

Draymond Green is having a great half because the Bulls are leaving him to close-out hard on Curry.
Curry has only taken five shots (and made two).

From league MVP to 4th best player on his own team by age 26.

Golden State, just wow. Quite impressive. They run and gun, but unlike most teams that play that way they also have a defensive presence. Especially, Bogut. It was obvious how little desire the Bulls perimeter players had in taking it at him, and took mid-range jumpers instead.
Bulls point-guards: 5-25 from the floor. Oof.

Pop has gone beyond "emptying the bench" against Minnesota. Cadillac Anderson and Frank Brickowski are on the floor right now

sorry bud, but you can't stop destiny. Time for the good guys to start tuning up the rest of the league

I gave him the benefit of the doubt over Gibson. Good argument for 5th but still shows enough glimpses of past play to make him an above league average player. Rose best chance to be a long term asset IMO is to more consistently play the role of PG. He does show flashes of that. He's just got to do it a lot more.
Probably won't be much longer when you can throw Mirotic on the list.

It's weird to even wrap my brain around the fact that there's a team in the NBA that wants to lose, and my favorite team, which is trying extremely hard to win, is still somehow worse than that team.Pistons are an embarrassment

Explain to me how Jeff Teague is all of a sudden like a top-25 player in the NBA. That's what confusing me about the Hawks.
I'm happy about that because I drafted him in the WIS league, but still, didn't see this coming at all.

He's made improvement year over year and his stats aren't that much better than last year right now but forgetting just stats he's been outstanding so far this year. He's not as good of a shooter as he's been showing but his decision making has gotten better which means he's taking "easier" shots. And he runs the offense well. With Schroeder playing well it's allowed the team to reduce his minutes a little and keep him fresher.
Hawks were looking pretty good last season until Horford went out for the season. They also finally seem to have a competent coach in Coach Bud. He's using the Spurs model obviously. Lots of passing and good shooters. They aren't dependent on any one guy to get them points. They are still a piece away from being a serious challenger for the East but they are playing really well right now.

His raw stats aren't much better but his efficiency numbers have improved significantly, which fits with what you're saying.

Josh Smith with the wide-open 3-pointer for the win...
You can probably guess how that ended.

Here are the FG% of the three players tied for the lead.
38.9%, 57.7% 41.1%.
Guess which player has which %.
Anthony Davis
James Harden

The next player with a worse FG% than 39% is Kemba Walker. At #60.
ETA: 39% guy has a TS% of .489. 41% guy has a TS% of .582

Yeah, I don't think people realize just how bad Kobe's shooting and decisionmaking has been, statistically speaking. You could spend all day coming up with amazing evidence of how horrible he's been.
Here's one I just found: he's 14th in the league in three point attempts despite shooting 27.3% behind the arc. Only one other person in the top 20 in 3PAs is hitting less than a third of them, and it's a guy who shot 41% from three last year (Ryan Anderson). You have to go down to 40th in 3PAs to find someone else who is under 30% (Kemba Walker).

My personal favorite is where he ranks in FGA if you only count his misses. Was top 15 for a stretch.

Anyone going to the Net/Cleveland game tonight? If so, the Royals will be there as well.

brohans let me ask your seirous opinion the bucks are at five hondo which manes it is hard to tell if they are coming or going but if you if ask me they are a young team that rather than playing over there heads is actually losing some games they should win and hopefully will win as they get some more experience under there belt so i think that they do not fade but rather get a little bit and i mean just a little bit better as they season keeps going on what do you think take that to the bank brohans

Warriors going for #13!
Hopefully they put the Pups out of their misery early so they can rest up for a HOU and DAL the next two games.

Unfortunately.
Just a matter of minimizing the games missed. David Lee can't comeback soon enough to take over Bogut's role in the offense if Bogut is gonna miss extended time.

Hawks with an easy win in Indy. Was hoping the Celtics would hold on in OT against the Wiz.

Not sure what you mean. That his stats aren't as good? If so, his minutes are down as they are trying to ease him back and keep him healthy.

Yes I'm talking production. I figured it had to do with his injury last year. Thanks.
