Steph probably made more three pointers in one season than the combined career three pointers made by all the guards that the Wolves took in that draft.

A lot going on in the NBA today. Covid, Ainge being named "alternate governor" of the Jazz and a matchup of two powerhouses, the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Doc really going to go down this road huh

Cavs win again in a blowout and that's with Mobley out. Garland is all of a sudden prime Mike Conley, Isaac Okoro has completely turned around his season and that Allen Mobley tandem is ridiculous defensively. I think they have a real shot at making some noise in the playoffs. Their defense is top 3 and they have a good bench. The week spot is not having a go to scorer id say but they are getting contributions from everyone.

are the Cavs starting two big men going to be new norm in the near future?

If one of them is a Mobley type maybe.

Hell of a finish in OKC! Serious Kings versus Memphis vibes.

I mean, are we supposed to be surprised IT is too good for G-League? the dude's fueled by being the underdog and only finding G-league opportunities is just another gallon in the tank.

doesn't Mobley remind you of AD?

 

[iowamcnabb]

they have some similarities. I do think that Mobley has a bit more potential defending the perimeter and on switches.

well he has a ways to go if he wants to match Davis' 4 time All-NBA defense and 3 time NBA blocks leader

didn’t he already have one major flop of a stint in LA? That had to be pre-LeBron? Right?

It was that first Bron year under Walton but I’m pretty sure Lebron was hurt at the time.

Just in: All-NBA star Kyrie Irving has started process to return to the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Irving is ramping up, has begun team COVID-19 testing, and his season debut date is still to be determined.

Kyrie coming back just in time to catch COVID-19 from this outbreak.

Fairly wild that the team with the worst COVID outbreak in the league is just like “sure yeah bring in the unvaccinated guy specifically to travel in close proximity with everyone.”

Three fouls on Aaron Nesmith in seven minutes.

Not ideal in a game where he has a chance to play real minutes.
