Niners Fan in CT Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Quietly the Warriors needed OT to beat the Nets but a win is a win. It's been such an eventful night I did not see any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Pistons definitely have cooled off as a team, in a tight one with the Lakers. Andre is doing Andre things again though. 15-16-3 so far. It's insane how good he's gotten this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hats off to old man Bryant. He didn't shoot well, but he filled the stat line. 17-8-9 plus 2 steals. Andre goes for a double 17 in yet another loss. Sigh m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The Spurs, the team with the highest field goal percentage in the NBA are shooting 25% midway through the 2nd quarter... and are up by six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Philly gave us a hell of a scare tonight. They excel at turning a game ugly as hell. Get a couple of legit vets on that team, and they could be so much better, because the effort is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The Spurs found that out the other night. Then again, we sat Manu and Kawhi in the Philly game. I think the outcome may have been different with those two on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I love that even when Marcus Smart had a rough night on offense as he did tonight he's still worth having out there, crazy defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Bulls looked good last night. Solid game by D Rose and the rest of the team weathered the storm when he rolled his ankle. I'm happy for Kirk that he is having a bounce back season of sorts. Still a competent player in the 10 minutes a game role. Runs the new offense very well. Brooks on the other hand. Yikes. He just completely breaks the team rhythm every time he checks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 O yeah... did you know that Dougie Mcdermott leads the league in 3p%? Dude is shooting 57% on a little less than 4 3PA per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrag Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 WOOOO! On one of my favorite teams as well. If the Wolves make the playoffs this year, I hope at least one of you remembers me calling it during the off season. Lowe goes into a point I was making last season about the epic tank and rebuild going on in Minnesota. I love the young stud/old vet combo.

goodhelmet Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Looking at the results tonight, with the exception of the Warriors at the very top (and Philly/LA at the very bottom), I don't think I have seen this much parity across the board in the NBA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Miner Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Looking at the results tonight, with the exception of the Warriors at the very top (and Philly/LA at the very bottom), I don't think I have seen this much parity across the board in the NBA. No one is really playing above potential either. Most teams in the league had good young players moving in the right direction. It was far and away the toughest year to pick playoff teams since both conferences had 12 or 13 teams in the discussion. The only 2 teams that are way off where you'd expect are Houston and New Orleans. New Orleans makes sense because of the injuries. The team I am most impressed with so far is Dallas. Since Brett Brown took over as coach in 2013-2014 the Sixers have had 32 players start a game which is absurd. I went through every team and just as you'd expect the worst teams all had the higher total. Dallas was the only exception among teams that were playoff teams in both seasons. They've had 27 in that time. Just damn good coaching to keep plugging guys in and keep winning. This was the full list. Sixers 32 Lakers 29 Kings 28 Heat 28 (A lot of those were from resting guys in 13-14) Knicks 27 Mavs 27 Cavs 27 Bucks 26 Wolves 26 Nets 26 Nuggets 24 Rockets 24 Pelicans 23 Celtics 21 Spurs 20 Pacers 20 Hornets 19 Grizzlies 19 Magic 19 Wizards 18 Jazz 18 Thunder 18 Suns 17 Hawks 17 Bulls 17 Pistons 17 Blazers 16 Clippers 16 Warriors 15 Raptors 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Some really awful half court sets by the Raps pretty much lost them the game. How do you not have a play set-up for either of those possessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Nah, dawg. That was a blatant chicken wang. Raptors shot themselves in the foot with bad offensive rhythm down the stretch and a stupid foul. The Joseph call was bad, fair enough, but they could've put themselves in a position where they didn't have to rely on officials one way or another.
