It's a foul because he crashed into LaVine's back but that's very rarely called especially when it's a smaller guy doing the fouling.

I think they’re gorgeous but the fanbase on basically every platform seems to hate them. They just want more fiesta colors more fiesta more more more

They’ve already done it like three years in a row and it’s kinda played out, I think these are really nice. There’s only so much you can do with a City Connect concept when you need a new one every year

I like the old man (coach maybe?) that looks like he’s about to step up to him.

Anyway, the Rockets played their most competent game in 3 years last night. It was against the Hornets, I know, but they would’ve lost that game over 50% of the time last year. They actually stayed composed when Charlotte made a run, and answered with one of their own. Jalen Green was taking good shots all game. Dillon Brooks still provides the KPJ experience on offense but he makes a world of difference on defense. FVV was getting hitting his open 3s and getting the ball to Sengun in good spots. Shame about Amen, who looks a lot more NBA ready than advertised. He’s a rookie, but doesn’t seem more out of place than most rookies with a year of D1. High ceiling if he stays healthy.

I don’t expect a lot from the Rockets this year, but it was amazingly refreshing to see them look like an NBA team for 48 minutes.

Edit: the crowd for Serbian superliga team Crvena Zvezda are putting American fan bases to shame. They are super loud and super into it.

I would put them ahead of like 95% of NBA crowds.

Although theres probably heavy overlap with the soccer fans who were literally a right wing military org in the 90s. It’s all very European.

Yes, but they were pretty much all wide open shots. Compared to last year, the shot selection team wide is already noticeably better.

Not only are they the defending champs and look drat good, they have more continuity than anybody...

ATL has 99% continuity right now. Not that that will help their title chances.

I had to double check that bulls line, when’s the last time a guy had 50% of a team’s points and the total was that low?

LaVine 2 OKC plz

On 11/22/50 George Mikan of the Los Angeles Lakers scored 15 of his teams 18 points in a loss (over 83%).

On 2/12/42 Chuck Chuckovits of the Toledo Jim White Chevrolets scored 33 of his teams 38 points (nearly 87%).

Yes, Chuck Chuckovits is a real name.


Giannis shooting 14% from three and 64% from the line. This does not bode well.
