Re: The NBA Thread

nice two man game for Gallinari and Huerter. bad defense by Gallinari though, dinner time for Turner. Fernando not helping at all defensively either

Skylar Mays at point guard is rough so far without a second ball handler. Huerter needs to be more reliable there. here comes Goodwin to help

    Indiana pretty much running everyone off the three point line. not a bad strategy, it should pay off as Atlanta should start missing from floater range. they are hitting from the post though.

    nice creation from both Huerter and Lamb. midway through the second and Sabonis has his first real successful post up on Capela

    a little bit of cheap transition points now, Indiana 8 Atlanta 5 during this weird sped up stretch

    New York defense sloppy so far. looking a step slow, but Houston ball movement is good

    offense is humming though. i like the stagger screens for Barrett and Payton to penetrate. getting Randle going early too on switches. him against Gordon/Tucker will be fun

    Indiana defense tightening up and the pace is helping them. Atlanta better make shots soon.

    Houston missing open jumpers early. Randle finding guys, first on the Noel slip and then on the strong help off Bullock. nice but i expect a quick adjustment to not overreact on that

    Goodwin has got some nice floaters! 8 quick ones from littles driving, Indiana might have to reconsider this defense running Atlanta off the three point line

    New York running well, Noel is gonna have a lot of opportunities in the dunker spot

    Gallinari and Collins extremely lost on defense. might swing the game if they don’t get a stop before half. at least Atlanta is getting tons of good looks off drives, pretty tough time helping for Indiana. Turner is getting to some but not all

    both defenses surprisingly bad so far. Houston should be up 15 given their shot quality. 1/10 on pretty wide open threes, but still eating at the basket. New York missing their usual midrange jumpers as expected but hitting from everywhere else

    clearly Robinson is a huge part of New York defense that they can’t easily replace. i think Noel will get better as we go though

    Quickley is amazing getting to the rim, at least against opposing second units

    heating up from range, could get ugly fast. Houston missing way too many open ones

    Golden State looking really active on defense to start. Tuscano-Anderson on Durant is a fun challenge. Wiggins on Harden. Oubre on Irving. let’s gooo

    Golden State struggling to convert as expected. Durant looking spry defensively

    Gibson making life hell for Houston inside but hey they finally made an open three

    Atlanta starting to figure out this Indiana defense to start the half. open threes and layups galore depending on who stunts at Young

    starting to see signs of Brooklyn’s poop defense after a strong start. Harden, Jeff Green and Luwawu-Cabarrot too slow. Golden State defense still looks strong on the other end

    Houston defense falling apart. getting caught on back doors and late help. New York guards are a little too quick for them today. rough day for Sterling Brown and Tucker

    Atlanta starting to get whatever they want. no resistance at all from Sabonis which must be frustrating for Turner. they really need another small ball 4 to help on this end. Sumner would’ve been nice to have healthy. Atlanta defense looking nice again too after a rough go. glad they went away from the Mays/Fernando experiment

    unfortunate fouls by Golden State to send Brooklyn to the line. simple adjustment though. this is a danger zone if they keep bricking open shots. might need Curry heroics early.

    nice to see Tyler Johnson playing

    Houston missed their chance at a run to end the half. ceded momentum to New York again instead. had to expect Randle would hit a midranger eventually

    i want them to, but i worry about them against switching defenses which the Clippers do well and the Lakers pretty good at. the Utah magic kind of disappears against those kinds of defenses, granted we haven’t seen them play a ton of em since it’s hard to do. we may see some against Miami right now

    wow they are really insisting on this Gallinari/Collins lineup. this is not good and it’s costing them the game.

    quick sub Capela in for Collins thankfully, but the lead is gone

    yup here’s Miami switching defense, Utah already struggling. curious to see the adjustment, i like the Bogdanovic postup

    really impressed by Capela on defense, help side and challenging Sabonis.

    disgusted by Sabonis defense. Indiana can’t do this funnel thing if this is the effort they get from their guy. need more Turner if they’re gonna do this

    damn just a minute of Collins checking in and Indiana is back in it. Turner subbing in for Sabonis too helped i’m sure

    Wall getting a little bit of momentum, good timeout by Thibodeau

    no real answer by Utah in the half court yet, but got a couple nice looks off transition

    Golden State defense hanging on by a thread. still bricking

    Utah struggling but throwing the defensive intensity right back at Miami. active hands and good position

    McConnell able to stick one on one with Young has been the difference here in the 4th. no need to stunt so heavily on him, Atlanta all messed up now on offense

    only one real adjustment for Utah so far in the half court: attacking early, not letting the switching d grow any legs by getting too deep into the possession

    game almost over- Turner and McConnell the heroes. this combo completely changed the game

    running them off the line proved to work- +20 at the rim, -22 midrange, +12 from three. +3 turnovers too


    not sure Strus was paying attention to film study, defense has fallen apart since he’s come in.

    missed Houston’s mini comeback here in the 3rd but it was bound to happen. tough to see Rose settling for tough mid rangers

    Utah working really hard to find points but they’re eventually able to attack the weak switches- Strus, Olynyk. Miami great job on the boards though preventing second chances

    Gobert monstrous protecting the rim tonight. Miami still looking okay on defense but can’t buy a bucket. the transition and switching d starting to tire themselves out

    Rose starting to eat, finding the paint a little more. Tucker looks rusty defensively coming off the injury. Quickley again for three!
