This is a really good vid about how good Scottie has been this year.

10 mins in Caruso has played the best d of anyone on him in the vid @ 4 mins. The eye fake through the 4 man wall pass is incredible.

Not everyone can overcome misdemeanor child endangerment via throwing a billiard ball through a windshield (this happened after already pleading no contest to domestic violence) and go on to play just two months later

draymond once got a 2nd technical in a finals game and they retroactively changed his first technical, from multiple quarters before, to be on steve kerr instead

I remember being kinda upset Toronto couldn't retain Kawhi but with everything that's happened since then they kinda dodged a bullet.

I know they have some bad money tied to various people and they've been middling at best, but jesus that's a ton of money for a guy who's gonna miss 25-50 games yearly

(Also keenly aware how lucky Toronto was things worked out when he WAS there)

the Heat are a lot more fun to watch than they were last regular season. even for all his faults, J-Rich is a much more compelling player to watch than Strus banging every shot off the front of the rim, Jaquez is unbelievably cool, I loved cheering on the Cody Zeller magick screen machine when Dewayne Dedmon slapped a massager 15 feet into the air but TB31 actually has some touch and grace, Duncan Robinson seems to have like 3 moves in his arsenal now

e: updated to account for who was actually the backup 5

Nikola Jokic had 36/21/11, but lost to the Rockets who might actually be good this year. Jalen Green was 1-13 so it wasn’t like a lights out shooting night. They’ve won the last two with good defense and stable play in crunch time. Sengun is making the jump too.

I know the Jazz started like 12-2 last year, so maybe I shouldn’t get too excited. Still, I would be excited for a play-in game after the last 3 seasons.

The rockets have played 7 home games and just 2 road games, nobody else in the league has a split like that. That said they have the 6th best record in the NBA, which is crazy to think about.

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.

There was a point where they said that they hadn't traveled in three weeks on one of their broadcasts. That's insane.

yeah but to wake up every day with the hope that maybe he gets healthy for a playoff run makes it worth it. even if it doesn't happen you still get to watch a play-in team work through it.

I love jaquez and also love that Josh Richardson is finally hitting shots. Duncan’s little hesitation on wemby might be his greatest career highlight yet.

Yeah that notorious Rockets home court advantage. Really played great at the Toyota center the last 3 seasons in front of 2000 fans. A Rockets team that’s great at home and poo poo on the road would be twice as good as any Rockets team since the Harden days.
