Gee whiz, what a surprise. Looking at PJ’s minutes and Westbrook’s use pattern, there’s gonna be some unhappy guys over there. You know when Harden does Harden things, Westbrook is going to be going crazy on the bench.

Watched a few minutes of Hawks broadcast. Those announcers, interviews, direction was like watching a AA baseball game vs MLB. We all know how ridiculous their fans are. Atlanta does not deserve an NBA club.

Some people are saying Batum is out because his wife. I know she’s jawing, but I don’t think it’s that. If you read his words, I get the sense it’s something more tangible than a wife’s anger toward a team. Maybe he has a child going through some shit. Having raised kids, there were def times I would not have gone away on business.

I’m sure it hasn’t leaked because some media would have tweeted it. (Yes, I said “tweet”, Musk, you insecure billionaire.)

I’m good with Bev on 2nd team, but god forbid anything happens to Maxey, the cupboard is bare. Kinda shocked we haven’t had a good backup PG for a couple of years now. Honestly, if Ty gets hurt in a game, I’d expect Tobias to bring ball up court, not Melton.

He had a pretty sweet pass to Roco out of a double team that resulted in a layup.

WHO thought that was a good idea? Worst court I’ve ever seen, so hard to follow the game. Was it not as bad in person?

I’m pretty damn happy with Batum and Roco. Batum is glue, and just gets the game so well as shown by his early use by Nurse. And Roco is such an excellent defender. Particularly surprised by Batum, thought he was over the hill.

I love thinking how Maxey was rated around 10th or so to be drafted, and 20-some teams passed on him before Philly.
