So what's up with all the high scoring? The rule changes impacting the game already? Seems a lot of teams are really scoring the ball outside of the C's lol

Noticed it too... Teams are shooting lights out but when they face us they come down to earth... Unfortunately our shooting is as abysmal despite the talent the Cs have.

Feels like teams are bringing their defensive A game against us.. many to see if they can squeeze wins out to have a shot at playoffs (Orl, NY)

Kawhi Leonard came back from his season long injury much fast than I expected. I thought he'd look more like Hayward does and be on a minutes restriction. Kawhi has looked like the best player in The East so far.

I thought he was medically cleared last season, he just didn't "feel right"

Embiid just flopped his way to Drummond getting his second technical and thrown out of the game. They should severely fine him for that, as that's a potentially game-defining flop. Should be cutting a $25,000 check to the league.

Oh my Lord, is anyone watching this Philly at Detroit overtime game?? It's one dumb defensive play after another lol Both teams are doing everything they can to give this game away.

First, Reddick fouled Jackson with twenty seconds left in a tie game to stop a fastbreak because he thought they had an extra foul, which put Jackson at the line with the go-ahead points.

Then, Jackson returned the favor by fouling Reddick on a three pointer, which went in and put Philly up one after Reddick made the free throw.

Finally, with five seconds left Griffin took it to the basket, got fouled by Covington, and made the basket, putting them up by one with a second left to win the game.

It was madness and terribly dumb defensive basketball lol I'm heading over to Liberty Ballers for the reactions  ;D

Blake is a great player when he's healthy.

Are the Pelicans the best team in the NBA right now?
