There isn’t a whole lot you can complain about the Pistons start to the season. They sit at an East-best 4-1 and got through the brutal start to their schedule with a 3-1 record.

The Brooklyn Nets are 0-4, but they have been sneakily competitive this season with their only blowout loss being a 27-point loss to the Indiana Pacers. They are coming off a buzzer ...

Really good article I just read, plus some good insight into how some of the team talks to eachother. Really seems like they are meshing really well and have similar mindsets and it’s awesome to see. “In Thursday’s game in Portland, Coward said he shot a 3-pointer from the top of the circle. He missed. “I came to the bench, and Stew was like, ‘Hey, man! I got a guard on me.

Even his career rate of 24.6% would put it at around 41 games. The piece argues that the closer Jokic gets, the more the record itself could start affecting things. It brings up Curry pressing a little when he was chasing Ray Allen’s three-point record, and teammates getting caught up in trying to help him get there. With J...
