i am ostensibly a Timberwolves fan and will be cheering for their success but because they're clearly going to be a slow-moving train wreck until at least the trade deadline, and LeBron has moved to a team that I cannot in good conscious cheer for (except when I'm in LA on vacation and at a Lakers game because I"m not a loving ghoul),

I am in need of a backup team! I want someone not too good that I'm clearly bandwagoning (no Warriors/Celtics/Sixers/Rockets), but also not a total trainwreck/horseshit (no Suns/Knicks/Hawks).

the ones at the top of my potential list are the Nets, Jazz, Nuggets, and Mavs (I have high hopes for Doncic). Anyone else I should consider or should I just start watching whatever?

If your team is in the West, have your backup team in the East.

The Pacers are going to play good BB. The Bucks may play good BB is Bud makes the players buy in into the new schemes (they had an interesting pre-season).

Question. I am a Greek Bucks fan (surprisingly enough. I was one before Giannis went there - for a completely random reason) and I have never used League pass.
In the past, I used some streaming sites to see games. Today, I made a free trial and chose the plan that has one team only (trial and all).

I cannot watch the games live, since I live in Europe. I understand that the stream might be bad sometimes, but will the video of the game be ok quality the other day when I watch it?

I'll find out tomorrow anyway, but I wonder if anyone uses the league pass and can give more info.

Thanks, will check it tomorrow. Go Bucks! (at least, don't lose by many, and try a lot of 3pts)..

Jazz waived Jerebko this offseason after declining his team option. Last night, Jerebko beat the buzzer with a game-winning tip-in against his former team. And of course he didn't forget to flex in front of their bench after it. Revenge baby!

Still though, awesome moment from that game.

Did all the nba coaches get together and agree to turbocharge pace ?

Pace is going up but it's crawling up.

Pace of the average team:
2018: 96.8
2017: 96.2
2016: 95.7
2015: 93.9
2014: 93.6

Can we also put Brook Lopez as an underrated not-signed by the Lakers

Not sure if he would fit with the pace (he is slow for the "Showtime 2.0") but I cannot be more excited to see him playing for us this year. After the devastating situation we had with the C rotation last year, Brook is a breath of fresh air. The guy scored 5/11 threes tonight while spreading the floor beautifully. And his unselfish box-out game on defense is so important to us that the Bucks this year are 2nd in the league in rebounding so far (last year they were 26th or something). The Lopez effect.

he's like the only big dude I can think of that developed a shot late. he's always been talented but that 3ptr makes him a great fit with giannis.

He is a great fit in our new offense. Due to him being an average 3pt shooter as a center, the opponent center has to come out of the paint. This makes Giannis driving to the rim much easier. At the same time, Giannis as a player has a lot of offensive gravity. This means the defense collapses around him when he drives and Giannis is an unselfish passer. Open threes for days. The Bucks are currently 1st in the league in made threes, while their 3P% rate is 10th. This says a lot, and Brook is a big reason for this happening.

Having said that, the fact that we are even discussing Giannis being around 4 shooters might be a good offensive decision in 2018 gives you a pretty candid argument for how horrific Kidd has been as a coach.

That clownball at the end was confusing

Rondo lost the handle a little, and also wanted to pass for a three. The Lakers did not have a time-out remaining, so the thought was to tie there.

Bad decision imo, since there were 12s remaining. Make the uncontested lay-up, go for the foul and either grab the board on the second FT and run, or inbound and run the court to tie. Yes, there would be less time, but it still makes more sense. Always take the easy points to extend the game, always.

Great article

There is something so nice about angry blocks

quote:

Giannis was asked in the postgame interview if he felt any guilt dunking on his countryman Koufos..

His response''Definitely. He's a great guy. Like, he's a great guy. I've met his family. I've met his mother. It's going be kind of awkward when we go back to Greece and talk again, but you gotta do what you gotta do."

The Kings social media team btw has a great sense of humor.
