I havnt thought much bout sense. Little worried lakers defense looks different than previous with the changes and I assume getting some practices together? You have a opinion on what Russell is as a on ball defender? I don’t think he great but he certainly athletic enough to be at least solid if he buys in that him and the other pickups gotta give extra on the defensive end to let bron Rome a bit and take breathers on that end. Just a bit a guessing game how they gonna look? I’m gonna start looking at stuff right now, wanna get to casino by 2-2:30 so give me hour or so and I’ll give yoj best answer I can or what im playing anyways.

Poole up to 26.5 points. Still lean that way but think I have a few that feel stronger.
Love the way Brown looked in asg, I think packers a great team to attack with guards as they don’t defend them well. Brown ov 25.5 feels really solid to me.
Sounds like tre Jones still doubtful tonight? Long as he out I love the Brahman kid over these 13.5 point totals. Once Jones is in I’ll have to back off and see but think worth risk to hope he doesn’t play w doubtful tag, if you can afford to wait by all means wait and hit Brahman points if he sits, pass if he plays.
My guy Giddey is my p+r+a favorite. I don’t think jazz guards gonna put up much resistance to him and better yet think they take a lot of shots he will be in on the rebounds, yet his number back down to 30.5, long as he didn’t party all week this a good one, he might be worth a trip dub look, assist be the one I’d worry bout, depending if his young teammates ready to play.
That bout what I have for tonight

Branham + Giddey
Yes sir. Pounded Branham w news almost for sure Jones out (we just gotta keep eye on that cause the kid looked different the one game Jones played). This should be a perfect game for him, luka and kyrie not playing d, gonna be all kinda of points but they not yanking the 19 year old early, he should get his minutes regardless!!
Giddey par and I even sprinkled 20 on his trip dub at 15-1!!

Maybe we can get 5-10 games before he goes down to start playoffs, lol. Such a bummer.
Yeah, apparently a setback and out "multiple weeks" after the ASG.
Good grief. He's missed the last 22 already.

I heard on sone podcast they were stuck on plane for 7 hours but didn’t think enough of it I guess, had no idea all those guys were sitting, there was def a chance to get a Freebie with kings -4 or -5. Shoulda paid more attention when I heard that, oh well, can’t complain bout my night, didn’t know Dame was out tho. Kinda of things ya gotta keep nose to pavement in nba for sure.

“No, you idiot. Hawks eat squirrels!”
Incredible
They had more in the 4th than the 2nd and 3rd combined.
7 mins in, no shot attempts.
Should be interesting starting next week what kind of looks he gets on offense with KD out there.

Lol. Damn. That why I passed on him. He hard enough to trust normally, after a break I had no idea. There no reason he shouldn’t have 28-12 tonight other than he another one this overpaid clowns who doesn’t care that much. Yea I’m not sure at all how he gonna respond as 3rd wheel? I bet he pouts, doesn’t go grab 15 boards like he should.

Not taking anything away from NYK, but the Pels are a mess right now.
I don’t wanna turn on Willie but it’s 5 on 4 most nights. This is gonna be a negative post, but it’s just reality. BI is really fucking good. The injury sucked obviously, and was another oddly handled medical situation. CJ is good….he can’t carry though. It’s like the ugliest 20ish point game and I don’t know why I feel that way…it’s like the other night he had 23pts, but like 4pt 3rd quarter. Misses more big shots than makes, but you can win with him for sure.
After that it’s spotty, save the young talent. Dyson Daniels potential is huge, Trey Murphy is maybe the only other “shooter” but he’s a keeper for a role. Herb does everything you ask/want…he’s kinda forced into a fucked up role, but 34 minutes 4 points just won’t get it done. But he’s obviously a defensive/blk/steal etc machine.
So you just have to hope. Maybe Jose’ has a game(like him off the bench for sure). Maybe Naji, etc. The lineups are just weird every night. And we haven’t even seen Zion play much when everyone is healthy. Sounds crazy, but they could totally miss the playoff. Valicunas, man what happened. No true point guard most games or won’t even try Kira in longer stretches.
Jesus I could go on

It's really tough to maintain consistency when you have a #1 overall that isn't at least a piece of the puzzle
I get that you couldn't pass on him with the star power but this was always a downside that was baked in
