It's been really weird watching Kemba play this year, basically every shot he takes is a good one

I know he's been making shots, but I don't know that his shots are particularly good choices. I haven't watched him much this season, however.

It might just be a mirage since he's hitting everything, but looking at the NBA stats site more of his makes are coming off assists and he's taking fewer mid-range shots

People tried really hard to blame it on the fact that it was in a football stadium, but every Final Four since has done it without anything approaching that nightmare. Even the game on the aircraft carrier was higher quality.

Kemba Walker got MOP immediately following the game which he totally deserved but yikes

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

What confuses me is why were people picking them to finish 4th in the east in the preseason. They swappwed a guy wh o fits really well next to Monta for a guy who doesn't, they signed like a median quality pf who doesn't shoot threes (while promising to speed up the pace and space it out) and signed big Al for the bench. That was it. They also got rid of a demonstrably good coach for a demonstrably okay coach.

Paul George is great, Myles Turner could be a special player but then...?

It looked like they could play offense finally in preseason and were still playing defense. That's why I had them fourth. It also looked like they could do that the first game of the season. After that, though, not so much.

One day I watched a shitton of Pistol Pete footage.

There's grainy rear end footage of Pistol Pete doing it in college.
There's footage of him doing just about every cool fake and/or dribble move you can think of.

It was time well spent, I have to say.


Legit. Pete invented moves that weren't even possible in the space-time continuum until he demonstrated the physics.

Cause their coach will bench them the first time their teammate doesn't catch it. See Jason Williams for reference.

Noah is literally the best player on the team right now.

And he's teaching my son how to ball :)

edit: if you want stats to back that up, he is team-best in BPM and VORP. Meanwhile Porzingis is easily their best offense and will likely be the overall best player on the team by the end of the season.

In non end of the world news, a super strange series of events happened in SAC/NOLA tonight:

With about 20 seconds before the half, Cousins was fouled. The Kings took the ball, missed, and the Pelicans scored.

The half ended.

During halftime, refs realized that the Pelicans were in the penalty and Boogie should have had free throws

Halftime ends.

They run back the clock and the Kings and Pelicans play out the last 20 seconds or so of the second.

The quarter ends, then they go on to the third.
