harden dropped 35-12-13 on lebron et al

Most shocking early-season league leader: Kent Bazemore has four technical fouls, alone atop the NBA.

Per @bball_ref, Lonzo Ball is just the 16th player since 1983-84 with a triple-double plus at least three steals and blocks. It's a fascinating list: https://t.co/VZI3iBGNzs

f u pay me

In the final game before he is eligible to sign his renegotiation-and-extension on Wednesday, Robert Covington finished with 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, the go-ahead three-pointer, and game-clinching four free throws in a Sixers win.

i guess they do have a good point differential and have prob played a tough sched

pelton says the celtics are a 55 win team, which interestingly is about what most ppl had them at before the season and hayward going down http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21405860/can-boston-celtics-possibly-keep-their-remarkable-start

one interesting thing about the celtics though is they only returned one starter from last year and have played 6 rookies which might lead one to believe that while they are due for some regression they may also improve over the course of the season more than say a more settled team typically would

theres also the wildcard of hayward returning

anyway 55 wins does seem p reasonable lol

embiid 46-7-15, 7 swats, 14-20 fgs, 34 minutes

lol brutal

hakeem an assist away from another quad dub. had to settle for the 5x5.

i have a vague memory that that game was originally scored a quad dub then they took an assist away from him the next day

25-20 and 4 blocks for dwight

kyrie last 2 games combined 77pts on 34fga

jaylen over the same span 49pts on 26fga

the celtics are v v good

they wld be even better if they cld figure out how not to fall behind by 16 every single game

marcus, truly in a class of his own

man steph is nowhere near the 40/50/90 club this year, im disgusted

37% from 3, nice job shooting league average mr greatest shooter ever

none of the big three can even be said to be flirting with the 40/50/90 club smh

steph does this every year

stpeh needs to shape up!!

his FTAs are career high atm

its really kinda awful how theyre beating teams effortlessly while all shooting worse than normal

...and sitting people basically every night, also trying to balance 15 players that should all be getting burn.

no KD, SC or AI tonight vs the kings btw

lol thats rude

heh oops
