Jalen Brunson - what a game. 50 points with 9-for-9 on threes.

Standings shaping up like the end of last year in West. Tightly packed where I could see us climbing to #2 like we were at the end of 2022 at the end of this calendar year.

In 9th place currently but only 2 games out of 2nd. Possible we run the table in December.

This is why when we lose to the 4-13 Jazz without Markannan and Clarkson and folks say it's just 1 game, then we lose to them again and folks say it's just 1 game and then we lose to the Bulls and folks say it's just 1 game...

You can't keep losing the "just 1 game" games.

I'm really hoping we win 7 of 8 on this easy stretch and maybe hit 9-1 going into that brutal 5 game road trip.

No doubt. We really should be sitting in the #2 spot right now considering our record against >.500 opponents. Best in league?

So many crappy losses that shouldn’t be

ETA 10-6 against teams above .500 (most wins in West)
5-5 against teams below .500 (only SA and Blazers worse)

1.5 games back of the 3 seed with SA, MEM, and CLE coming up.

A good team wins 2 of those 3. A great team wins all 3.

Let’s see what kind of team we are

I'm watching the Pistons at the Bucks, and the Bucks are currently up 43 to 20 at the end of the 1st period.

The Pistons are well on their way to losing their 23rd straight game (NBA record is 28).

Why am I watching this game? Because I think that most of the Pistons roster will be available for trades, and I want to check out the options.

How would that somehow happen? By giving up one or more of the Pelicans top young players: Ingram, Zion, Murphy, Herb, Daniels, Hawkins, and picks. Which Griffin probably wouldn't do. So you don't have to worry about passing out.

Yep, take the White overs on P R and A and Bulls ML. Vegas hasn’t adjusted for the Bulls being hot and White being the catalyst

If I’m the Thunder I try and get Lauri. Giddey and 3 firsts should be close. Thunder would be very scary

Because if he hasn't killed a woman performing a back alley abortion, who gives a frick?

They are not going to trade any of the young players with promise. I see them trying to trade Bojan, Harris (if they can find someone to take him) and Morris.

The problem for Detroit is they aren’t a piece or two away from being competitive and they are not really a desirable FA destination. Cunningham and Duren are not exactly a core. I don’t know what they do

Harden had an amazing game. He put up 35/3/9 with only 1 t/o, while going 8 for 11 from 3pt. He's going up against Haliburton, who is supposed to be a good defender. Harden waxed him.

Pacers shouldn't be this bad at defense. They have good individual defenders and solid athletes. Is it the system that prioritizes offense too much?

In Chet’s past two games, he’s gotten 8 and 7 blocks. That dude is the future, better version of AD if he can protect the paint like that

And suck this badly next year too?

No, their young players with promise aren't good enough and don't fit together. They need to trade some of them in order to draft some different young players with promise and get a couple of players who are already good who can help lead them.

Bojan isn't going to fetch all that much.
