I imagine him bulked up about 15 times a game seeing him get bullied off rebounds or bouncing off contact and missing shots. He's been getting beat off the dribble for layups for players that shouldn't so I do chalk that up to being 18 and learning to play D at the NBA level.

Poole dropped 41 tonight. They kept it a little close but lost again.

Bottom 4 teams all with 2 wins. Not sure why the 76ers and Toronto are sucky off the start.

We're getting exactly what we want from them: the kids (Sarr, Bub, George and Coulibaly) are all playing well, which is great, yet they are still tanking, which is also great. Hope the trend continues.

This is a good the gang is back: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5926632/2024/11/16/inside-the-nba-abc-espn-tnt-lawsuit/

“Inside the NBA,” TNT’s longtime basketball studio show, will appear on ABC and ESPN as the NBA and Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of TNT Sports, have settled their months-long lawsuit, sources briefed on the agreement said.

“Inside the NBA” panelists Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith will remain with the show, the sources said. O’Neal still needs to agree to an extension but has indicated his intention to remain on the program, according to one of the sources.

Funny observation from the Houston game seeing Kispert guard Sheppard...Sheppard looks like a tiny human.
 
The Match on right now…..


Gretzky vs Bill Murray in a semi-final……Barkley and a few others on commentary….Charles says to Wayne’s earpiece…..”so you had 9 MVPs, and you played how many years?”……

Wayne “20”…….Barkley “so you sucked for 11 years”…….


Wayne laughing…..”I’ve got feelings…”.


Pretty funny……also some person drove a golf cart into a fence just off camera totally wrecking the fence around someone’s yard lol…..

They’re all cracking up the whole competition….first one of these I’ve enjoyed in a while.

Zards at 15 losses in a row. Needless to say they are in #1 tank position. My advice get comfortable with the top 5 prospects since the lottery is so unpredictable.

Fingers crossed for top 3. Flagg, Bailey, and Harper all look like cornerstone prospects to me. Demin, Edgecombe and Johnson feel like Beal-caliber guys.

Demin is getting some early season love:

Demin is another player who has stood out immensely. Right now, if I were taking bets on the player who could supplant Flagg at No. 1, Demin would be my pick. Why? His passing and processing ability isn’t just high level; it’s elite. It’s different. He sees the game with the kind of incredibly clear understanding that comes from the league’s elite passers. His vision is incredible and looks quite similar to someone like Josh Giddey out there at that size making incredible reads across the court.

The thing that makes Demin a bit more dangerous than Giddey (whom I had as more of a late lottery-level prospect in 2021) is his athleticism. He is a bit smoother as an athlete. But he also executes his passes at an elite level. He puts real velocity on the ball when necessary and also can throw them with his right or left hand off a live dribble from anywhere on the court. He has touch when the time calls for it. But most importantly, the ball always seems to be directly in his teammates’ shooting pockets. His accuracy from difficult angles doesn’t really falter. So far, Demin is averaging over six assists per game with nearly a three-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio.
