And also look at New Orleans. They have a lot of good perimeter shooting - Zion, Jrue, Redick, Hart, Ingram, hell even Ball now are respectable from range. They could play Zion and 4 perimeters to match up with Davis and Howard - but instead they think Nicolo Melli is the way to go. Granted I see he is a stretch player, but he just got chasedown blocked by Davis. Now they bring on favors, because, you've got to pair Zion with a banger PF like it was 13 years ago. Basketball leading edge - since All D no 3 centers are on the way out, are 3 and No D centers also becoming a liability? Did 5 out just eat the world and we don't even know it because the light cone hasn't reached us yet?
Worries me if okc is 6th and the Rockets get the 3rd seed. With the Chris Paul saga, you never know what the refs will do, plus everybody hates the Rockets. Silver will have a narrative that people like with that story.
The Tuesday night crew on TNT are so chill compared to Thursday night and seem to have better takes. Even Shaq is better.
Shaq is a different person when he is not forced to be the buffoon. He has to play the dumbest person on a panel full of dummies when Kenny and Chuck are there.
NOP vs LAL, what great game! This young pelicans is gonna be big threat in SW div., they made LBJ looks awkward and brought LAL tons trouble. Cruso's one block at defensive end and one layup on the side of the floor looks like a turning point, this dude were amazing…
Interesting thing is Bron was never a pure scorer, a taller, more athletic, post up Chris Paul type player that can score when needed. He rarely gets to the rim or gets fouled much though.
