2019/20 NBA Season

[NYRB]

A couple of notes from todays 4 matches watching a bit of all games:

1) Middleton is really struggling this series and has been struggling as their backup 2nd best player. It was good to see Brook Lopez bounce back after his woeful 1st game against Orlando.
2) Lakers looked like they have found their mojo again. Can see them wiping out Portland 4-1 now
3) Houston look sharp and Chris Paul is getting some late cheap stats to boost his average performances.
4) Miami Heat seem to have an extra gear they can go to. Adebayo might not get the flashy numbers, but he does the hard work and inside out work. Miami bench also seems quite deep with players like: Tyler Herro, Olynyk and Duncan Robinson who had a career night with the 3. Robinson shot 7/7 at one stage from the three point arc. (I save myself a few bucks by not betting on Under 3.5 threes as I had never seen much of him before)

interesting stat, 76ers were 29-2 on home court this season back in Philadelphia.

Huge loss for them to play this on neutral ground.

Doncic has lost his drive since getting his ankle sprained in that 3rd quarter.

 

[NYRB]

Kawhi with 29 pts, 8 rebounds, 8 assists


As soon as he gets the triple double, they will sub him off.

 

[NYRB]

need Whiteside and Nurkic both on court to counter Anthony Davis

 

[NYRB]

Foul trouble for the big men at Ht in Lakers v Portland

Davis with 3, Anthony 3, Nurkic 3, Whiteside 3

whoever gets fouled out of : Davis, Nurkic or Whiteside first, could go a long way in winning this match opinion.

 

[NYRB]

this is embarrassing from both sides in the 4th quarter, both teams bigs, not running down the court to defend: LeBron, Nurkic and Anthony Davis.

 

[NYRB]

Porzingis out for game 4, Doncic playing injured...........Clippers should smash them here

 

[NYRB]

Maxi Kleber isn't good enough to wipe Kawhi Leonard's shoes, let alone be on the same court as him.

 

[NYRB]

wow Dallas down 21 and now leading Game 4. Fair play to Dallas.

 

[NYRB]

OverTime in Game 4:

Dallas $2.68 v $1.53 LA Clippers


man oh man what a game we are witnessing here

 

[NYRB]

Fouls trouble for Clippers going into OT: Marcus Morris Sr 5, Paul George 4

Foul trouble for Dallas going into OT: Finney Smith 5, Kleber 4

 

[NYRB]

Luca with a buzzer beater, magic in the NBA.......we already knew he was good. But this is his time.

 

[NYRB]

make no mistake this Dallas team can beat the Clippers now. Paul George is a massive liability to this Clippers team in my opinion.

Should expect to get Porzingis back for Game 5 as well.
