Here are the teams that have been double-digit games over .500 after such poor starts. The best of ’em finished with 48 wins. That’s a target well within Washington’s reach.
2016-17 Washington Wizards – Thru 10 (2-8) – Most Games Over .500 (15)
2006-07 Toronto Raptors – Thru 10 (2-8) – Most Games Over .500 (14)
1992-93 Boston Celtics – Thru 10 (2-8) – Most Games Over .500 (14)

By s y Go To PostHouston would sweep Utah tbh.Yeah they looked great in that last blowout in Utah.
We're a matchup nightmare for Houston tbh, the playoff tradition would just continue.
everyone in the east going to end up tanking for whatever spot lets them play detroit in the first round
nobody wanna fuk with paul george drinking his coffee and myles turner taking a superstar leap at the wrong time either

By s y Go To PostLol okCome on bro back it up with something.
The Kings are also making 25 fewer passes per game. It really doesn't mean much of anything, but I just find it hilarious because a friend pointed out in preseason that Hield has a pass rate similar to centers. That it appears to still be accurate up to this point just makes me chuckle.
By Kibner Go To PostComplains about offense while having most effective offense in the league.GS offense is too prone to losing its shit once they get slapped once or twice. Then they flounder and never adapt.
By DY_nasty Go To PostGS offense is too prone to losing its shit once they get slapped once or twice. Then they flounder and never adapt.Yet they are still the best team in the league and favorites to win it all.
Joe Johnson has been great. Jazz have an offensive rating of 121.9 in 284 minutes when is playing the 4, that is incredible offense in a decent sample size.
By diehard Go To PostYet they are still the best team in the league and favorites to win it all.What I'm saying is they have some huge exploitable weak spots.

Their biggest weakness is showing now. Depth.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostShooters with at least 100 attempts from 10-22 feet, ranked by FG%::)
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postdat mid-rangeAs advertised.
By giririsss Go To PostTheir biggest weakness is showing now. Depth.I don't think its just depth, they put out idiotic rotations just because.
Kerr really is feeling himself too much. Steph is legit regressing as a point guard under him.

They've been weird all season. I've never felt like i've seen GSW truly hit their stride in their final form.
The zaza Javale thing seems to ruin their flow a lot.
By diehard Go To PostYeah they looked great in that last blowout in Utah.I actually think Utah win, too.

That said, D'Antoni was a pretty good play offs coach. Pop just had his number.
The Timberwolves best lineup is the one that started last night (Rubio, Wiggins, Muhammad, Dieng, Towns) and Thibs only played it yesterday because Brandon Rush is sick.
Not that I want to tell the guy that purposely ran the wrong system for two months what to do with his roster. Just throwing it out there.

By giririsss Go To PostSo wiggins is much better at SG?I was mostly thinking about the lineups without LaVine, but he has much better net ratings paired with Rush (+7.3 [My eyes cannot explain this]) or Muhammad (+2.9) than he does Zach (-3.9), so there's probably something to that, yeah.
Rubio is literally the first point guard that Thibs has ever let just run an offense. He has not dictated plays to Ricky in months after spending his entire Chicago tenure barking every offensive set and trying to do the same here for the first 25 or games this season.
I do not think a man that wants to move Rubio (for air, no less) plays him 35 minutes a night and gives him the keys like this, but I'm not a member of the New York media.

Like just 2 months ago I thought he was not using Ricky correctly? I mean the market isn't that good for Rubio.. because he is the type of player who could make your good players better, so you can't give up a lot for him.. After people weren't willing to give up good pieces for him because that defeats the purpose, Thibs had to make due and maybe is happy he did...
also Thibs has no plays.. lol
also Thibs has no plays.. lol
John Michael @CavsJMike 43m43 minutes agoHe's baaaaccccckkkk...
#Cavs JR Smith, who has been out since Dec 20 with a fractured thumb, WILL PLAY in Detroit against the Pistons tonight.

So all those guys reporting the deal for 4 days were NY media members? Ok...

Iso Joe replaces Favors as the starting PF.
On one hand, we're better with Joe at PF. On the other hand, this is sad because Favors was great as of fucking April of last year.

He turns 36 in June though...are the Jazz in a position to do anything about the 4 in free agency? Or is Hayward going to make that too complicated?
The plan is that Favors is 24 and will hopefully recover from our medical staff destroying his knees.
By Kibner Go To PostIf you make sexist comments, don't apologize to Jazz fans. Also.. lol, it's fucking Houston, Texas.
Lol
Also, the Grizzlies kinda suck lately.
By pilonv1 Go To PostFuck the land
Are they taking a mid-season vacation or something? They're 2-5 since that Bulls game.
