Bizzaro night. Mavs also up 20 without Luka lol.

 

[INeedARemedy]

All 15 players for OKC have gotten 7+ minutes in this game, which, while i don't have the stats to say for certain, feels kind of hard to do lol

that’s a petty thing for that account to post it with that caption. JB has outplayed Kyrie for the past two seasons. Sure he was better tonight but cmon lol

 

[Sweater of AV]

Kyrie playing like when he carried Cleveland and LeCan.

Hopefully he can keep this level going.

Flakes finally have some fouls actually called on them and they're down by 28.



Look for the refs to make a hard push down the stretch here.

Just heard on the radio that the Trailblazers lost by 60+. How is that even possible? Are they putting cripples on the court or something?

 

[ferrisjso]

Looking back on it, that's actually crazy.

The Laker way is to poach stars from other teams not to develop their own talent.

 

[Sweater of AV]

LeCan put up a strong 10 points, checked himself out of the game, and happily watched poor man's Steve Kerr get cooked all over the court.

Great teammate imho.

It's what happens when the NBA outlaws defense and one team is ice cold while the other is red hot.

I don't know if the stats back it up but it seems like there's more blowouts these days than ever before. I don't recall teams 15 years ago going down by 40, 50 or 60 points but it happens fairly often these days. Pretty sure the Kings were down 50 to the Pelicans at one point the other day as well.

Think it's time the NBA stops their version of the steroid era. People care about close, tight games where you have to watch down to the wire to see who wins. A 102-101 game is a hell of a lot more exciting than any 135-125 game.

The Kings had the highest offensive rating of all time last year and I believe 6 or 7 teams are even higher than that this year.

Amazing. GOAT era bless.

I detailed it earlier ITT pretty much what you have been saying. More blowouts, high scores, lack of emphasis/effort on defense, etc. This is the new direction of the league however if you look at the top of the standings, the top teams are still the best defensive teams in the league and not the best offenses.
