It turns out Mike Miller is a bad enough defender to make R Kelly effective.

Byron Scott has responded to his criticism from last year and is using modern small ball offense. :downs:

Russell has a beautiful jumper.

Chauncey is a nice addition to this team, if they cut them loose ESPN might actually have a good halftime show . . . but we know that won't happen.

Of course I zone out while the Pacers are on and miss Russell having his best game so far.

Nick Young is going to miss every three he shoots for a week while his three point shot regresses to his career average.

Benching Russell every time he makes a mistake is totally going to teach him to play.

perhaps it's because he's good at basketball and came to show the youngsters a few things

also if you don't get weak I think 3p% might even improve as people age but I'm just thinking of John Stockton shooting .462 during 00-01 when he was 38 and old ray allen (let's say jesus shuttlesworth in the harrowing of san antonio) in the super bowl

I'm honestly pretty happy with his play, and I was a major skeptic. Just playing hard D and shooting open shots. It's too bad he's wasting it on a Lakers team going nowhere.

I only got to see the last 4 minutes of the game because I trusted NBA's lovely app. Of course I miss Byron actually play Russell.

My main interest in this game at this point is seeing how the Clippers come back and win since that's normally what the Basketball Gods do in this situation. I probably would've just turned it off if Griffin wasn't ejected.

Doc Rivers teams always rebound poorly. I thought it was the shooting accuracy in Boston but it seems to just be a permanent thing.

In Boston they prioritized getting back. Except when Rondo would sneak in and grab a board, which he only got like half the time.

Defensively I thought the KG Celtics were pretty good, weren't they?

Yeah they definitely were. Just responding to Chuck pointing out the Clippers have been outrebounded every game so far.

Lakers/Mavs was a pretty bad game. Would have been nice to win it though. Oh well.

Nice to see Byron scott play d'angelo russel the right amount of minutes one game, watch him have the best game he's had so far, and then turn around and keep him on the bench the next game after he gets off to a good start

The NBA App in the latest update gives me all the updates I don't want and none of the ones I do.

Oh well probably good I missed this one since I flip the Suns broadcast and Tom Chambers is way too excited about beating a 2-9 team.

Russell came in with a few minutes to go and scored 8 quick points. He looked good

That's good news at least.

I had the NBA app installed for about five minutes a few years ago and it wouldn't stop spamming me with updates about Bobcats games or whatever

I pay for the audio pass so they have me over a barrel, but it gets worse every single year, I don't know why I keep buying it. Like the streams are now delayed by 30 seconds and stutter every five minutes even though they're the same optimized-for-56K streams from 10 years ago.

I'm listening to the audio of the Lakers/Raptors game while watching the Warriors/Bulls and my poor brain is so confused. "But those are the Hollywood Nights jerseys,and the court is the right color Rick!"

lmao it's happening

The Lakers don't play defense at all so I wouldn't worry about anything. Eventually the Raptors will figure out there's an easy lane to the hoop and that'll open up the threes and that'll be that.

Every Lakers game goes exactly like this my friend, unless the opposing team really shits the bed.

The revolutionary Fred Hoiberg pace and space offense.

It creates a lot of space on the strong side . . . . by stacking everyone on the weak side so there's no outlet if the offensive move doesn't work.
