GIANNIS fills up the stat sheet in a tight road win over the Sixers, holds Embiid to 15

Westbrick shoots 0-11 in a 6 point loss to the Clippers lol

[Andalusian girls]

this is Brook Lopez erasure

but ye Russ is an active net negative out there right now. the last time he was playing winning basketball was back in Houston when he totally reoriented his game around assaulting the basket in a 5-out system. 3rd option on a team with mid spacing ain't it.

Russ/Beverly/Nunn combined 1/25 on FGs last night.

Through the first two games the Lakers as a whole are 19 of 85(!) on 3s.

That seems less than ideal unless you hate the Lakers, at which point it is very ideal.

he sees Lopez rotating so shifts the ball over into Giannis's waiting arms

all roads lead back to Lopez

always Lopez

[archibaldcrane]

GIANNIS shutting down Embiid last night aside, I'm definitely glad Lopez is back so Giannis doesn't have to play out of position all season again and can return to being the greatest help defender of all time

Talking up Brook Lopez tho, his intentional missed FT to ice the game last night was perfection (thanks to the slight tip assist from Jrue)

Also the Spurs having the worst roster in the NBA seems like a pretty common view.

Pop is obviously a great coach but the Spurs roster this year is horrendous. They're all in on the tankathon for Wembanyama

I'm excited for this tank season. Its the Spurs 50th anniversary and I hope to catch a ton of cheap seats this year.
I just have to deal with the Pop haters(Trump lovers) and the Cowboys fans here in San Antonio complaining all year.

[Andalusian girls]

non-Bucks fans gotta talk about the great job done by an underappreciated roleplayer because the Bucks stan gives all their achievements to the superstar SAD

This is Draymond erasure

they're prolly the two best right now but KG was kinda like if you combined Dray's basketball iq with Giannis's athleticism/build

[Andalusian girls]

also Hakeem averaged 4 blocks and 2 steals a game mostly helping not sure that's ever happening again

[archibaldcrane]

Mickey mouse stats playing against (the children of) plumbers

[kisada]

somewhere, tim duncan is crying that he's yet again going unnoticed

[Andalusian girls]

it's what he would have wanted

Time for Poku to shine.

The Jazz losing Gobert really neutered them.

Can't tell if being sarcastic.
