Also, holy gently caress this team turns the ball over a lot. It's insane. I think they're averaging something like 23 a game. Whatever the number is, it's league worst.

highest number sounds like league best to me :) best in the league at turnovers

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Is Mario Hezonja bad or something? I understand if Skiles shithead didn't play him because he hates anyone under 30, but Vogel tends to play the young guys if they're decent. 2nd DNP in a row now.

I think 'back in the day' the way it was decided whether someone was black enough to discriminate against was that if they had 'one drop' of blood (ie one black ancestor anywhere) it counted. (Not entirely sure for what purpose this was I just read it somewhere.)

This is exactly why they created the rule. It was so all the children produced by slave owners raping slaves would still be held as slaves.

Week 3 Power Ratings

1. Clippers - Most wins, looked the best getting those wins. Not enough to dispel the sort of malaise that floats around the team but their current greatness has to be recognized.
2. Cavs - They finally lost, and they've started to look more normal. But also it's a long season and they don't have a lot to prove at the moment
3. Raptors - If I could argue with what they were doing I would.
4. Hawks - I hate their losses but I love their wins.
5. Spurs - The Houston loss was kind of bullshit, but the team just in general looked vulnerable last week.
7. Hornets - Luster is kind of wearing off but for now, they're still good.
8. Rockets - The best offense-only team in the league right now.
9. Jazz - Not a super challenging week for them, and I'm still not sure if they should or shouldn't be beating the Hornets at this point.
10. Golden State Warriors - Beating teams that won't be in the playoffs through furious fourth quarter runs really isn't enough to erase any doubts I have about this team.
11. Three Alphas Featuring Doug Bucket and Tajy Gibson - They're an Indiana Jones mine car that hasn't gone off the rails yet.
12 Blazers - Probably a bad team when taking in the entire history of basketball in context but are doing good in 2016
13. Lakers - Playing around .500 ball is impressive for this team.
14. Nets - Playing around .500 ball is impressive for this team.
[Irrelevant Line Here]
28. Knicks - It's not working.
29. Heat - This team's not tanking, it's bad.
30. Pacers - Kind of embarrassing.

So much for the Hezonja hype bandwagon.

Also, the Nets have really surprised me. I wasn't sure they would be able to win 15 games this season. But somehow they can hang.

Edit:

I even had to look up who their coach is right now. Please educate me on Kenny Atkinson.

Of the four, I guess Klay would be the one most easily moved to the bench but KD would be the best fit there. They didn't have the three falling and rebounding is going to be a struggle all year long so I assume they'll focus on that moreso than lineup tweaks.

Then again Steph Curry is just the rich man's Crawford so

Steph is like Damian Lillard with a better floater game and 1óó
