NBA
-I watched the entire Pels/Rockets game last night on accident. I love following the NBA, but don't really watch a lot of the games in large doses -- can't recall the last time I watched a full one. Guess it was the UK contingent putting a beatdown on the Rockets, the most easy-to-hate team in the league.
Really enjoyed - they have a really nice team. Davis is just so good/big/polished that it really isn't fair, and that Mirotic guy is a great compliment - dude went off last night. Jrue Holiday is probably the most underrated guy in the league, what a complete player. But, something about Davis is clearly different -- he's ready to be THE star, and clearly wants that MVP. Enjoy, PTI(pti), should be a fun team to follow.
-Randle balled as well - found it interesting that he was running point, Simmons style, on the 2nd unit. Miller didn't play well, but he's got a clear defined role on that team. As happy that he's carved out a nice NBA Career as anyone that I can think of that's passed through here.
-If you enjoy casually following the UK kids & hate Twitter, at least sign up for an account and Follow Scott Charlton only. It's a one stop shop for every bucket they score, in nearly real time..still have no clue how he does it. What a great service for UK fans.
-How about WCS last night? 23/7/4 against the best defensive player in the league in Gobert? Impressive.
-They love Shai out there. Winning ROY is a longshot w/ Luka, but him being in the running would be the least surprising thing ever. What a baller
-Monk busted out, looks primed for a feature role sooner than later. Amazing that he was buried behind MCW all last year, but new coach seems to love him. That boring *** team definitely needs a jolt.
-Feel terrible for Towns. He's a punching bag around the league right now. Unfortunate he was the one left to deal with psycho Butler, but he should have handled it differently as well -- worry he's lost the respect of much of the team the way he's backed down. Hope they can trade that bastard soon and he can move on. Clearly, KAT is shook, 2-6 last night for 8pts. :grimace:
-Alonzo Trier, what a steal. Dude seems possessed since going undrafted...never quite understood why scouts didn't like him, he's relentless.
-May have to give League Pass a trial.
