Thought I had a game and was excited about it, but than refreshed and saw we didn't have a game. Well I'll probably study some more teams that have a good record, and will be ready to face OLC tomorrow.

L vs DET

TheTwoWallace's young and hungry Detroit Pistons hand us yet another loss, this was a very low scoring affair as James Wiseman absolutely dominanted w/ 20/20/4 w/ 5 blks. Not going to win many games giving up those kind of numbers, this team has a lot of heart and great all around defense.

[Stockton12]

Smacked by Memphis but no surprise there

[rh0xxy]

Happy to return in United Center and get a win. Morant returned and connived with Mitchell to propel us to another road win. Collins and Bam flexes their muscles on the boards while shooting just enough to neutralize Bulls defensive scheme. Always great to play Marcos, good game mate.

The Blazers smacked the shit out of the champs on "banner night"

[TheTwoWallaces]

TOR 87 || 18 stocks | 9 TOs | 9 fouls
@ DET 98 || 44% fg | +21 rebs | 25 asts

Raptors
H. Diallo: 22 pts | 5 asts
M Young: 10 pts | 11 rebs
N. Little: 4 pts | 6 rebs | 5 asts

Pistons
J. Wiseman: 20 pts | 20 rebs | 5 blks
K. Porter: 18 pts | 7/12 fg | 7 rebs
J. Johnson: 16 pts | 8 rebs | 5 asts

The Pistons took an early lead and never looked back against the visiting Raptors. Detroit was the better team inside the paint, edging out a +21 rebound advantage and a +19 second chance points advantage. The MOTM was thus James Wiseman, whose 20-20 game was simply too much for the Michael Young and the Raptors, who were led by a solid 22 points from SG Hamidou Diallo, but did not get enough offensively from typically reliable players Justin Patton or Nassir Little.

The Pistons (5-2) are next in Charlotte to take on Nikola Jovic and the Hornets (4-3).

We suck but that's not a problem lol
GG rhox, amazing start by you guys, nice job!

102-127 loss @MIA

Walker: 18pts, 3ast, 4stl
Reddish: 15pts, 5-11 FG, 3-5 3P
Kobi Simmons: 14pts
Gant: 11pts, 3reb, 7ast, 4-8 FG
Knight: 9pts, 8reb, 5-6 FT
Mika: 8pts, 6reb, 3ast, 2blk, 2-3 3P

Well this was a disaster. Miami shot 16-24 from downtown (Cam Johnson and Bird combined 9-9) and then we somehow gave up 26/9 on equal efficiency to Patrick Williams of all people.

Monk makes his homecoming to Houston tomorrow! We need to be ready.

[drumr]

4th win in a row to get the ship back on course. 2-0 with Aldama in the lineup.

Porter with his 1st off shooting night of the season, but for the 2nd game in a row since preference work Kortmaz and Langford showed up to work. The latter shooting over 50% again.

Langford 28pts (9/18 10/16ft) 8ast 4reb 2stl 1blk
Porter 23pts (9/23) 9rebs 4asts 4stls 2blks
Kuzma 15pts 8rebs
Kortmaz 14pts (11-14ft)

Blazers next

[Flaming Homer]

Two games on the road with a 0-2 result. Not too surprising looking at our terrible start.

We decided to go passive even with the first game in Denver. Figured we would not have a chance there anyway. Unfortunately the strat didn't work in San Antonio either.


Against Denver we didn't play too bad, but they were just killing us from 3.

ATL - DEN: 109 - 121

DEN
M. Monk: 29pt (10/23), 10ass, 3reb
D. Wyndler: 28pt (9/18), 3ass, 2reb

ATL
G. Goloman: 17pt (7/12), 11reb, 3ass
J. Giddey: 12pt (5/8), 6reb, 2ass


Against the Spurs our strat was not working either. But our offense ame was so bad, no way you win a game playing like that.

ATL - SAS: 109 - 121

SAS
Z. Darko-Kelly: 21pt (8/12), 3ass, 1stl
S. Harrison: 15pt (6/8), 6ass, 4reb

ATL
R. Perry: 11pt (5/7), 11reb, 1stl
J. Smith: 18pt (7/12), 9reb

Got our first road win of the season beating New Orleans 124-104.

Couldn't stop Markkanen (29 points) or Frank (30 points) but Thybulle did a solid job on Frank forcing him into 10 for 26 from the field. Unfortunately he had the same game shooting poorly but netting 27 points to go with 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

Our young bigs were quiet but we got a huge game off Precious who had 25 points and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench. McCoy in his first game as a backup was huge too with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals. He'll get major backup minutes playing like that.

We visit Utah next.

[Rizzo]

Brooklyn Nets - 115

DeAndre Ayton - 26 pts, 8 reb, 3 blk
Aleksander Vezenkov - 24 pts, 2 ast, 3 stl
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - 12 pts, 6 reb, 8 ast, 3 stl

Portland Trail Blazers - 125

Tyrese Haliburton - 26 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast, 4 stl
Markelle Fultz - 20 pts, 2 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl
Ziga Samar - 20 pts, 5 ast, 1 stl
Franz Wagner - 16 pts, 10 reb, 7 ast, 1 blk

Didn't have a chance to put a DC in so Ayton and Vezenkov were slated to play way too many minutes again. I have no problem giving up the win because Ayton was in foul trouble and only logged 26 minutes.

Right now we really need to figure out our bench and who deserves to play the most between Kevin Huerter, Justin James, Travis Trice, George DePaula and Malachi Flynn.

[hardenwithnod]

Got a close win over the Pacers, as it was a brickfest between both teams, but we were able to play better defense, and controlled the turnover battle. 106-98

Bender: 18 pts, 5 rebs, 6 asts, 2 stls, 2 blks
Tatum: 22 pts, 3 rebs, 3 asts, 1 stl
Birutis: 15 pts, 9 rebs, 2 asts, 1 stl, 1 blk
Alvarado: 11 pts, 3 rebs, 4 asts, 1 stl, 1 blk
Nnaji: 7 pts, 15 rebs, 1 stl, 1 blk

[GreenBear]

Brooklyn – 115
Portland – 125

POR
Haliburton – 26 pts (8-18 FG, 6-14 3PA), 4 stls
Wagner – 16 pts (7-16 FG), 10 reb, 7 ast (1 TO)
Samar – 20 pts (4-9 FG, 4-8 3PA, 8-10 FT), 5 ast
Okongwu – 12 pts (6-11 FG), 13 reb, 2 blk

BKN
Ayton – 26 pts (12-19 FG), 8 reb, 3 blk
Vezenkov – 24 pts (8-16 FG, 5-10 3PA), 3 stl
SGA – 12 pts (5-12 FG), 8 ast, 6 reb, 3 stl

Couldn’t be happier to ruin banner night for the Nets . We were at home and the Nets were without Williams, but still an unexpected and great win nonetheless. We had a sluggish 1st quarter but scored 110 points the final 3 quarters as our offense exploded. OO held his own against Ayton, Haliburton was excellent, Wagner flirted with a triple-double in extended minutes and Samar was an offensive force off the bench. Jessup mysteriously missed the game for unknown reasons. He wasn’t injured before the sim, he’s not listed as injured now, and no injuries are showing up in his html page. DDS being DDS I guess. No harm done in this one though.

[drumr]

pretty good Greenbear pretty good lol

[OneNole]

Got the W over the Hawks, defense was a little disappointing giving up 109 but we were stout offensively. Windler for the way too early MIP and 6th MOY award. He's been a stud so far.

I don't expect Monks and Windlers shooting splits to keep up at the pace they are going but I also cant see Towns and Epps continue shooting this poorly either.

[secondroundbust]

So disappointed we lost this game. Shot over 50% as a team, more assists, outrebounded, Mobley and Bowman both having high level efficient nights. But the turnovers cost us, and Porter and Langford made us pay. If we can do this consistently (but win) then the Crypto.com Arena won't just be an easy win for visiting teams the rest of the year. May need to look into upgrading a defensive guard. Well done to CLE!
