LoL,

Legit thought this was a JJ post because I just read the body and not the poster name til after.

Wiggins 7/22 tonight. About 31-32% shooting.

Just another dude. Not as bad as the haters think, not nearly as great as the lovers think. Just a guy filling a roster spot.

Powell woke the fuck up tonight! Instrumental in getting us the lead, flashbacks to Indiana swimming through my head on that ball-strip into air-Powell dunk.

Cleveland solved the problem of Love not getting enough touches with IT on the floor.

Interesting 2015 TED related to NBA advanced analytics. Key point: bubble chart on shot quality and shooter quality.

Love is pretty lucky if his only problem is a broken 5th metacarpal. years ago, Love broke his 4th metacarpal on the same hand and it required surgery and screws. Had Love broken that 4th metacarpal again it could've been an ugly mess.

VanVleet's boxout of KAT near the end of the 4th quarter with the score still close was my favourite play of the game. Of course, Jack Armstrong noticed it and was gushing about it.

I've really enjoyed VanVleet's play this year. Dude appears to have some handles and a pretty reliable 3. I haven't been able to watch too many games this year, but when I have, I've been really impressed by his effort and also how he distributes the ball after working his way into the paint.

Poetl is a monster too, guy must score like 90% of his points just by crashing the glass and tapping in rebounds.

I'm pretty excited about the Raps this year, so many of their bad habits from the last 4 years have just been cleaned up and they're able to win games as a team rather than just watching the DeLowry ISO show. Somewhere around the 20 game mark of the season they just flipped a switch and started rolling with this new style, and they look great. The most impressive part? There's still room and time for a ton of improvement before playoffs start.

VanVleet has the 2nd best ESPN Real PlusMinus amongst back up PGs. He is 2nd to Tyus Jones. Delon Wright is #3.
VanVleet is making Casey look pretty smart.

you can prolly tell from my posts. the eye test, for me, indicates FVV is playing very well in all kinds of ways that are difficult to measure.

Memphis sat out Evans tonight and said they plan on doing that until a deal for him is done.
same thing happening with Mirotic in Chicago.

And the Cavs steal a win to keep the third spot, in a historic worst 3pt fg game ever: Miami Heat (3/28), Cleveland Cavaliers (6/26) combined (9 for 54)
