Harden and Paul with a combined 16 shots. 14 of them have been 3s.

Only time this season we’ve resembled last seasons team. Probably still go back to shit 2nd half.

No surprises its when Melo is getting the shaft.

[Gak Attack]

8-0 pacers to start 3rd. Sadly I was right.

 

[Langanis]

Looks like the rockets of last season are back.

[Westy Bogan]

[Westy Bogan]

Western Conference teams should pitch in to pay the lux tax to send melo to the Warriors... Only way that the Dubs could lose this year...

 

[Langanis]

Going really early on that.

So is riding them off this season too.

C's getting waxed by Portland

Offence (offense?) has been trash this season. Hawyard getting gifted minutes.

 

[gcsunsfc]

Bucks win in Denver for the first time since 2010

This was the rotation.

He's with a side now where he can afford to do it. At the Lakers he shot way too much from the 3 with average results, and what we really needed was a 7 footer to play inside the paint like Chandler. Milwaukee's good for him whereas he was a waste of time at the Lakers.

 

[Dez!]

Well given that everything points to them being better with Melo off the court, I'd think they are addressing the issue.

 

[gcsunsfc]

Bucks got 8 of the next 10 at home.
Currently 10-3
Would be hoping for at least 16-5 at the quarter season mark. With a 4 game west coast road trip (Portland, GSW, Clippers, Nuggets) behind them.

Should hit 50 wins easily.
55 very possible
60 not completely unrealistic.

Think my >46.5 season wins bet looks pretty safe!

Its not hard to have more boards than brolo

He helps our overall rebounding still. Last year we were 28th in overall rebound % and dead-ass last 30th in defensive rebound %.

This year
5th in defensive rebound %
3rd in overall rebound %

On / off stats show

Defensive rebound %
Lopez on: 77.5 (would be best in the league - Detroit 76.8%)
Lopez off: 72.9 (equal for 13th - 76ers 72.9%)

Offensive rebound %
Lopez on: 25.1
Lopez off: 28.3

total rebound %
Lopez on: 53.4
Lopez off: 51.9

Much better defensive rebounding
Slightly worse offensive rebounding
Way way better than last year.

Its not hard to have more boards than brolo

• Tom Thibodeau sold Timberwolves‘ owner Glen Taylor on passing on the initial offer from the Heat centered around Josh Richardson because he believed that Pat Riley would come back with a better offer down the road (the Heat never returned with Richardson on the table in subsequent trade talks).
• Taylor considered firing Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden this past summer before the Butler saga broke out and continues to think about the possibility of replacing both of them.
• According to Woj, the Timberwolvesdesperately tried to find other trade partners throughout the past week, including reaching out to the Pelicansand Wizards, to no avail. However, New Orleans wouldn’t offer Jrue Holidayand Washington wouldn’t offer Bradley Beal, unsurprisingly.
• The Sixers initially offered the Timberwolves their choice of Robert Covington and Dario Saric in an offer for Butler before eventually agreeing to include both players.
• The Sixers believe they are operating out of a position of leverage when it comes to dealings with Butler. According to Woj, there are league executives that understand that Butler must be on his best behavior in order to get the full five-year max contract he desires this summer.
