Clippers won first Harden game because Westbrook decided to come off the bench https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1725757558848151611

Clippers were -9 in the 17 minutes he played

The Warriors were infamously 33-8 at home last year compared to 11-30 on the road

Now they are 1-5 at home, 3 losses away from last year's home loss total, and 5-2 on the road, 6 wins away from last year's road win total. Weird

They started well but have lost 5 straight. Home or away has nothing to do with it. They have a lot of poo poo to fix, and Kerr better be willing to start looking at some lineup changes because they are cooked if something doesn't change.

The Timberwolves/Pelicans game is borderline unwatchable but between Kyle Anderson and Cody Zeller it's a great game for guys who look like rec league players.

he's getting steals slightly less than Ausar Thompson. OTOH, his steal rate is about the same as Nurkic's was when he got the most recent NBA 5-by-5.

lol i just looked and the Warriors are 24th in the league in TS% when they were 7th last season, and 22nd in 3pt% when they were 3rd last season

and that's with Steph having his best career TS% year this year and his 4th best in 3pt%

yeah if he was just like a league average rotation player they would have won it but he got the worst case of the yips since Chuck Knoblauch. literally had to go outside basketball since no one has ever had them that bad in the NBA.

like, there's a bunch of cases of guys getting into their own heads about free throws and having a bad season or two until they figure it out, but Simmons is slowly unlearning how to play basketball, it's unprecedented

other parts of his game have come back fine, and did so pretty quick, he just refuses to shoot the ball, something that started immediately prior to his injury.

he wasn't a prolific scorer before, and no one's asking him to suddenly have a 3pt shot or anything, but before he could be relied upon for putbacks and drives to get him up to 14-16 points a game, which is absolutely fine for a defensive oriented ball handler. however his shooting percentage has somehow gone down below the Mendoza line despite taking half as many shots

did he ever figure out if he's actually right or left handed? that was the craziest poo poo and i can't believe it just sorta dropped out of sports consciousness when that's something that is usually figured out by elementary school

The funniest and ugliest poo poo is that Mason Plumlee shoots outside shots/fts with his off hand. He actually got better at both as a result

Watching GSW-HOU since I heard the Rockets were actually good. It's hard to tell these days if the other team is good or if playing the dubs starting five just makes anyone look that way. They sure don't look like the pushover they were last year, they look solidly competent at both ends of the floor without being amazing

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

Jordan Poole dogwalking the ball up the court while down 10 because he thought it stopped the clock is the funniest thing so far this season.

Poole for MVP.
