Deer beat Mice without Giannis and Jrue Holiday last night...
NEW YORK -- — Needing two overtimes to get by Boston two nights earlier left the New York Knicks low on fuel when they returned home. “Just ran out of gas," All-Star Julius Randle said.
Hmm. Thought the excuse was going to be no Brunson (23.9 ppg). They sure started with a full tank. It does make some sense, though. New Yorkers will come up with any excuse. There's no excuse. ...
"Sixers" didn't have Beard, still had no problem after shaking jet lag from dispatching MN. with ease. Wolfs have a decent record and Phil. massacred them in the Frozen Tundra. ...
Dealey Plaza doesn't have a great record, 34-32, and a bad record (4-6) since they were infested with Bed Bugs. How is that possible when you have Luka Doncic?...
PHO got KD so they won that trade, but man, BKN got a star back in Mikal Bridges, who had 30 last night in the win in Cowtown. ...
L-7, W-5, L-3, beat Bockers in MSG. Ladies and gentlemen, your Charlotte "Hornets." ...
You'd think in a game where no defense is allowed (OKC 53.2%, GS 52.8%) that Splash & Co. would win handily. And Steph did Steph things, 40 pts, 14/23 (10/16), and Klay had 23, but the "Thunder" got the dub. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 and seven Thunders scored in dub-dijs. Sam Presti is one of the very best GMs in the business and this decent, young team is going to get unprecedented augmentation in the next few years. OKC has eight first round draft picks in the next three drafts and six seconds. There is thunder rolling just over the horizon.
