Curry should have just pulled up and shot it, not enough time for him to risk passing it there.
The important point is that Denver is good and deep enough to be a factor in the West. Neither them nor Utah will be an easy out, assuming they stay healthy, when the playoffs roll around next spring.
They have the right coach to get the most out of them also as Doc did with Orlando nearly two decades ago. The Clips don't have a #1 guy on paper but have veteran shot makers and defensive scrappers everywhere you look.
Middleton going off in Milwaukee. 7-8 from deep, 30 points and 7 boards. Giannis has 31 points and 15 boards
Zach LaVine heading for his 3rd consecutive 30-point game on crazy efficiency. After 3 quarters tonight he has 90 points on just 51 FGA on the year.
I am genuinely afraid of that man. The Deer need to send Khris with a Khr to Phoenix or something far, far away. Unless DA wants to break the bank to sign him just so he can't play against us.
He looks great. Fluid and explosive. If Butler gets dealt, its clear the Bulls won that trade. As a side note, check out this move by Doncic:
I too love his game. On top of his skills, he is just a dogged competitor. The Bucks are deep and well coached. Barring injury, they will be there at the end with Toronto in the East.
For those Celtics fans feeling bad about dropping a home loss to the Magic, the Utah Jazz are about to lose to the Grizzlies at home. Meanwhile, even Grayson Allen has been decent tonight in his first NBA action with seven points in 10 minutes including one triple and a few hustle plays.
And down go the Blazers at home to the 'Zards in OT 125-124. John Wall missed two FTs with 6.6 seconds left but Lillard couldn't get his layup to go. Kieff led Washington with 28 points and 9 boards. These two teams are a good match-up for one another.
Lakers just overcame an 8 point deficit in less than a minute. Threes by Kuzma and LBJ to tie it.
Headed to OT. Really odd for a Pop-coached team not to see the foul there to avoid the three.

Holy shit. Josh Hart almost falls out of bounds, throws a hail mary to Lonzo who catches it also falling out of bounds and in one motion Ball passes to LeBron who gets a scoop shot and one. Insane sequence.
Then LeBron misses two FTs with the Lakers up one the next sequence. Pop calls a misdirection play, Mills hits a 15 footer and ballgame.

Walton going off in the postgame about the free throw discrepancy. Says he has his money to pay the fine. DOTB would love this.
Lol, saving the ball inbounds to a teammate is "off the charts IQ"? Does he have calm eyes, too?
TLL!!!
Jerome Robinson has yet to see the floor for the Clippers. I know it's a SSS and rookies rarely contribute early in the season, but as the 14th pick in the draft on a team that isn't exactly championship driven, wouldn't you expect a sprinkling of minutes for him each game (5-8)?
Too many vets in front of him and Doc as head coach. I doubt he sees much time until Bradley goes down with his annual injury.
I wish they would have taken a big gamble with the pick. They already had SGA, take a big swing.
If I had two picks in that range as a pseudo-rebuilding team I 100% would have spent one on Porter.
The Clippers are a very deep team and I doubt you'd convince anyone in that locker room that they aren't a playoff contender. I've said this many times over the years mostly during our "tank or not tank years"...….when the players recognize that the coach is giving minutes to young players for "development" over winning games that is when you lose your team. No coach filled with a competitive veteran roster is going to risk losing him team from Day One when it isn't necessary and the big knock on Robinson all preseason was his lack of aggression. I say "isn't necessary" because over the course of 82 games there will surely be natural opportunity for Robinson to get minutes while forcing the player to earn them by working extra on the practice floor, in G-League, or in the film room.
A cool 80 pts, 20 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 turnover combined tonight for the two Clipper exiles.
Yeah maybe a few times.
Blake forced us to operate like a real organization and get our s together so I'm forever grateful. Hope he stays healthy.
