    Carmelo just played over 40 minutes. Is that wise? I mean, I know he's rested, but really?

    God damn.
    First, don't do drugs.
    Second, wtf is wrong with people? Dude was stomping on the man's head and no one stopped it? Really? No way this s*** could fly in Poland guys. The attacker would get tackled in the matter of seconds.

    Holy cow...its pretty sad and disturbing.

    But money doesn't save you from stupidity. Every single time someone tells me they work hard to "secure" his kids's future my advice is "invest in his education instead of just leaving money behind".

    It doesn't matter how much money you accumulate for your kids really. They can only be "saved" with education and the ability to make smart decisions. I'd rather give my smart kid 5k than my dumb kid 5 million.

    lol...midrange is dead.

    Only the elite offensive players (except Harden) have a midrange game...Kawhi, LeBron (to a degree), Durant, Kyrie...

    that's data, though, right? i'm surprised people basically swept under the rug that kawhi won a title shooting contested midrange jumpers last year.

    why? because that's all good defenses would give him.

    you can torch most teams with that shot distribution, but the best ones just don't let you have them. that's how houston ends up having these rough shooting nights. it's not just cold spells. teams are making them take tougher, different shots, and none of them are ready to do it--even their star.

    you've got to be able to make tough midrange shots against good defenses. i hoped (and still think) AD would bring some of that here. he did it in NO, and he's done it some in tight games this year.

    This is Milwaukee's year barring a major move by somebody. They are just flat out better than anyone else right now.

    they’re in hard “prove it to me” territory for me. I watched them look great for 90 games last year and then fold like a card table. Is this a feature of their style of play?

    That's the growth phase everyone talks about. Got to get there and learn.

    Sure looks like they learned.

    What's wrong with Zion's attitude? First time I hear about an issue there, so far he seemed to me like a great kid personality-wise.

    So is Luke garbage after all?

    The Kings were definitely much better with Joerger...

    Luke seems to be fool's gold because of his (automatic) run at Golden State. He also seems to have the same exact excuses every time...

    "We are building"...."We are creating habits"..."I thought we did a lot of good things tonight"...bla bla bla...

    at the end of the day..its L...L....L....L...W....L....L....L.....L....L....L...W....L....L....L....L...L...L

    What is their counter when the game slows down and when Giannis has to make jumpers/show a more versatile offensive repertoire on a regular basis ?

    Yeah same with KD in 17 and 18 , Kyrie and Bron made a lot of midrange jumpers between Game 5-7 in 16 too ( especially in Game 5 I remember)

    Houston computer offense works fine ... until it DOESN'T
