That graphic they showed during the game of ATL's offensive efficiency with/without Korver was jaw-dropping. It was something like a +20 difference with him in the game. |

Makes sense. The games I've watched of the Hawks, Korver gets a crazy amount of attention and he moves, a lot. They run him around screens a ton and it seems like always, eventually, teams make a mistake and two guys cover Korver as the screener gets free or Korver gets a three. |

GS were leaving Bazemore open wherever he was pretty much and throwing an extra man onto Atlanta's pick and roll (Curry was basically invisible on d).
Switch that with Korver and that extra man can't help (well i guess he can, but open Korver corner 3's?)

| So in Detroit they yell "BANG!" Mike Breen style every single time one of their players hits a 3pt shot? Yikes. |

Who is in the bigger fall, Chicago or Portland? Both were impressive early, but struggling at .500 now.

| I see you Reggie Jackson. I wonder if the Lakers will make a play for him. |

Does Portland have a bunch of major injuries going on? If not I vote Portland.
So when I went out to enjoy my Sat evening/night the Bulls were up. I thought I was going to come home and watch the 2nd half of a victory. Guess not -_____- |

Still better than Cleveland's insanely annoying "The bottom!" |

| At least one Aztec showed up ready to play today ... Kawhi beating Carroll in Atlanta right now like it's his job. |

Westbrook with 6 rebounds and 10 assists at the half.

Losing Mathews was a blow, but Afflalo should be a decent replacement. Bulls have been one of the most injury riddled teams in the league so far. Losing Rose and Butler and Gibson was a big blow. Mike Dunleavy hasn't been the same since his injury. It seems like every time they started to get a rhythm, they'd suffer another injury to derail things. |

Westbrook up to his usual tricks.
9 pts, 13 assists, 7 boards, 3 stls, 2 blocks at end of the 3rd |

Atlanta Hawks ... today's beating at the hands of Kawhi and the Spurs is another sign that they're just not ready for Primetime.
Same for my Aztecs and for the Khris Middleton fan club ... |

What happened with Middleton? I just checked the box score and he seemed to do okay no? |

I might have to walk that one back a bit b/c I didn't actually watch much of the game <cringe>, but it seemed like he faded in the second 1/2 (and especially the fourth) while LeBron was rising ...
Bucks are 4 - 13 since they (apparently, according to some) chose Middleton over Knight ...

Playoffs separate the contenders from the pretenders. Not sold on the Hawks until they win a series or two. |

I think that's less of an indictment on Middleton and more on MCW. |

| Mirotic has been killing it lately. Guy looks legit. Pau with another strong game. He's also been money on the corner three. |

Mirotic's nickname is gonna be LeROY in a minute. Really good game. Makes up for the last one. Now I'm looking forward to this GSW / WSH "showdown".  |

| Yeah that was about as much of a "showdown" as I was expecting. The NBATV crew was skrait tripping talking like WSH is anywhere *near* as good of a team as GSW. In fact they're admitting themselves how far off they were. Lol |

Golden State's defense just strangled them

| The Warriors brought the hammer down in the third quarter. Curry is a bad, bad man. |

Who got killed by Monta tonight? Danny Green, Kawhi or Tony Parker?
I missed the game, but caught the summary ... I cannot imagine Pop wouldn't have gone with Kawhi on him at least a bit, so I'm curious if anyone caught the game and can shed some light. Big game for old Monta ... |

Cancel that Bat-signal - I reviewed the carnage myself. That ish was on Kawhi, as far as I could tell from the the highlight package. It looked like Monta was shooting out of his mind a bit, but Kawhi was also caught out of position a few x and Monta made him pay. |
