Two days off and then a back to back. This must be another team record.....fewest days to 8 games at the start of a year. Unfortunate with the nagging injuries to FVV and Delon.
During the raptors game they were chatting about Houston starting to panic. I was thinking no wonder!! They got Carmelo! Losses follow that guy around like a lost puppy. I've love to see some stats on it...
Prime example of swapping out a winning player like Ariza for a ballpounding glory hog like Melo
It's hard to imagine this team hitting any kind of losing streak right now, but if there's going to be one, it will be between Dec 11th and 20th. If they come out of that stretch relatively unscathed, it will say a lot about what they can do under pressure, and also make great headway towards the top seed.
D is ultimately important but all the more difficult in this era of 3-happy ball, speed and movement. Just last night
MIL 125 points
LAC 133
GS 128
CHA 135
NO 117 and BKN 115 playing each other!
and TOR 116
Those point totals would have been eye opening a few seasons ago as in a team "went off" that night. Now they are common place nightly.
The Raps will get theirs against New Orleans but can they stop them? Giannis is one of the few players I like (almost) as much as Kawhi. Probably becuase he's on a small market team and doesn't seem like an ego-jerk. If and when he goes to a super team, I'm gonna hurl....unless its the Raps
