this is pretty crazy really. he seems ahead of schedule.

Just a reminder: Anthony Edwards is younger than rookies Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes, and Jalen Suggs

cade doing things

Cade Cunningham is acclimating to the NBA, asserting himself quickly

After struggling to finish at the basket his first two months in the league, he’s shooting 69% at the rim in 2022

very smooth and controlled player, fun to watch

Spottie, Wednesday, 26 January 2022 23:09 (two years ago) link

his numbers if you remove the first month of the season have started to look really nice. pull up threes and extending out his range feel like the keys to me or else he prob settles into the 19-9-7 range which is obv still great but i think also means detroit is still looking for a true no 1 star. it’s hard to get a handle on his projection bcuz the physical tools don’t pop but the speed with which he plays the game is pretty unique, seems very under control, for a PG his age that has to be encouraging. if he could get to darius garland shooting range/scoring numbers with everything else then i think you start to have a pretty scary player

cavs easily in control against the basically-healthy bucks

it would be unfortunate if the nuggets lost to the nets C team tonight but it is a road back to back

auld gang syne (k3vin k.), Thursday, 27 January 2022 02:26 (two years ago) link

scanning the box scores for something to put on and there isn't a game with a single digit margin right now. the hornets are in the process of putting up 160 on the pacers.

oh i guess den-bkn is close but why would i watch that version of the nets

call all destroyer, Thursday, 27 January 2022 02:28 (two years ago) link

grayson allen misses a single game and the bucks just crumble into a pile of ash. food for thought.

cam reddish just kinda like... not playing for the knicks. not sure i get it, really

gotta make sure alec burks gets his minutes in

related:

Thibs rolled with the starters for 6-plus minutes as the Heat went up 26 — Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson. That lineup is minus-11.5 per 100 possessions on the season, but has played the third-most minutes of any lineup in the NBA.

thibs isn't going to optimize lineups ever so you either have to force him to via roster moves or get a different coach

call all destroyer, Thursday, 27 January 2022 02:45 (two years ago) link

hire thibs as coach + trade for promising but raw young dudes --> ??? ---> profit

Lavator Shemmelpennick, Thursday, 27 January 2022 02:46 (two years ago) link

works well with my theory that this round of knicks management has no actual plan whatsoever but by keeping a low profile and not being embarrassing could hang onto the job for years

call all destroyer, Thursday, 27 January 2022 02:50 (two years ago) link

watching some of cam reddish play now and if you went into a high tech lab w/ the express purpose of designing a player who thibs would refuse to put on the floor you would come up w/ something very close to him

it's really funny the knicks deluded themselves into thinking that thibs had waved a wand and turned them into a good defensive team instead of accepting the obvious explanation re opponent's three point shooting. rolling out a starting line up of kemba walker, evan fournier, rj barrett, julius randle, and mitchell robinson... they really shouldn't be as bad as they are but that's just a bunch of guys who have no hope of stopping anyone + mitchell robinson who isn't exactly joel embiid as a rim protector, to put it lightly. the back ups just play so much harder it's pretty embarrassing

158-126 final score, do you care to retract your prognostication sir

Clay, Thursday, 27 January 2022 03:09 (two years ago) link

xp yeah i wouldn't say the quality of the defensive personnel has changed much except they've barely had noel this year, which has definitely hurt them.

it's just a very janky team. they have a lot of nba players, but none of them fit or on the same timeline.

hah i'm surprised they got that close! i think they needed to get 12 in about 4 minutes of total garbage time when i posted that

Bucks letting PJ Tucker go is looking like one of their worst offseason moves ever

it feels like windhorst got this story and pitched and and they said ok brian but don't spend more than an hour writing it up because you have to do 3 podcasts and 4 tv hits today.

Yeah. So what was the diagnosis from the Aussie docs??

DJI, Thursday, 27 January 2022 19:07 (two years ago) link

It's buried in the text. an MRI showed internal bleeding that was placing pressure on the spinal cord.
