Steph’s probably got a hundred pair of Kobe’s in a secret stash and now he can finally rock them

I have it on good authority that Steph likes to wear LeBrons around his house in private

Is Cooper Flagg tracking as expected so far this season?
One thing I noticed in the Clippers game was that he was always on the periphery of the team huddles, non verbal to his teammates and not really engaged with by them. At first glance it did not strike me as an environment that was nurturing to a rookie. Anthony Davis was bouncing around in street clothes near the bench but did not see him talk to Flagg once. Not from the social point of view of course more in terms of him receiving instruction or support.

Mavs finally get a W. Flagg with a 21/8/5 contribution. AD about a week from returning.
Spurs back to winning ways, minus Wemby who was rested.
-
Liked how the Mavs gutted out the win today. Let’s be honest a lineup of Flagg, Williams, PJ, Christie and Gafford to close out a game against most teams is not going to do it. But they played some decent ball against a decent Blazers team that can really score.
I like Flagg’s emotion today and his team mates were getting him the ball to make plays. There’s no doubt frustration inside the camp but I don’t think there is anything too sinister there. I did notice Klay pointing out a few things to Flagg today. But Klay isn’t a big talker at the best of times.

Steph with back to back 40+ games comes out today and couldn’t hit the side of a barn. Scored 9.
Luckily they were against the Pels who sacked their coach today.

I had a bet today on the Houston/Suns double. First Houston make me sweat through OT, and then the Suns get outscored 47-27 in the 4th to lose by 2. At home.
Look at the win % chart. Got to be rigged....
Hawks have a nice winning run going here, on the road without Young too.
-
A number of close games today including 3 that went to OT.
Coby White back for the Bulls under minute restrictions and was good to see him and Giddey back in tandem agains the Jazz. Markkanen had himself a night and George hit a huge 3 to win the game.

Yeah, I think Flagg only took 3 shots in the first half but was more involved as the game wore on.
I always feel for the rookies that end up in tricky assignments on their first year on the job, be that with toxic personalities in the locker room or on teams that lose every season. I know they are getting paid but so much of their NBA career is dependent on the luck of where they get drafted to and in those environments who is willing to take them under their wing. You know guys like Derrick White and Dejounte Murray won the lottery when they were drafted by the Spurs. Other kids get thrown to the wolves.

Jokic shot not falling so far tonight.

Nuggets lose, looked like a tired team tbh. Lots of their shots were hitting front of rim.

This was the sort of game that Braun thrives in. He’s an energy guy that gets up and down. Can get you some easy buckets. Joker fell in love with the 3 a bit too much tonight. Other than that he was still pretty dominant with 36/18/13 shooting 60% from inside the arc and only committing 2 TOs.

He's out for a month I think I read the other day.
Bulls had tons of energy, would never have thought it was a back to back for them.
