It tells you that the Warriors have so much depth that they don't need him to play big minutes to be successful....that's the point I was trying to make.

Stephen Curry has the highest Plus/Minus in the NBA...

#2: Darius Garland.

Career high percentages or it didn’t happen.

I had made a comment in the rap thread the other day about him not getting whistles. Looks like that might be changing. Not a great shooting night, but 10/13 from the line in 26 minutes. Bully-ball is starting to pay dividends.

What a shambles.

Meanwhile Ben Simmons better come back and be a 70% free throw shooter with all this time.

i get it was an early post but i guess thats why they play 4 quarters. ended up winning by 21 against a playoff team and embiid finished with 36/13 on 71% shooting. sixers are one of the many teams that their record doesnt reflect how good they are or how they will finish the season. they have had alot of players in and out this season.

Did you see how many (and which specific) Raptor players were on the health/safety protocol list? Any team should’ve won by 45.

45 is a large margin for any team.

Not to discredit the Cavs but Yuta Watanabe was the best player from Toronto. That’s all you need to know.

To be fair, the Cavs were missing 7 players to Covid protocols.

D-leauger Justin Anderson played 30 mins for them, Luke Kornet 13, and Tacko Fall 11.

They smashed them that bad playing only 2 starters.

Winning by 45 against any team in the NBA is impressive.

Cavs now have the 4th best net rating and 2nd best defensive rating in the league.

indyguy · 12-27-2021, 09:29 AM

Josh Giddey with the 0 points double double. I love this kid.

Even more impressive with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley out of the lineup because of Covid protocols. Really enjoy this team.

LeBron is such a loser. Dude just continually spouts off without ever knowing what he's talking about. He knows his team is trash and that the Westbrook trade was the dagger and wants to take the heat off himself for failing yet again to bring a 'super team' together.

I don't get where the cut-off is for a game to be suspended... Hawks now have 12 players in protocols. The only regular players who can play are Cam, Capela, and Dieng.

Who knows? Raptors played 8 players yesterday, 4 of who played their first game of the season.

8 players.

The NBA doesn’t care about the quality of the product as long as there are 8 bodies available to play

There have been 9 games suspended

3 of them have been Bulls games, 3 of them Nets games.

We know who the NBA cares about protecting: Big Market teams.

It's always been that way. The NBA protects it's stars.

I think all of these were before the new rule about signing players went into effect.

I’d be really surprised if that many more games get postponed from here on out

Big time. They’ve played games in a row consisting entirely of bench players. Covid also apparently hit Embiid pretty hard. It’s tough to read too much into anything only a third of the way through a season decimated by Covid. Not a great year for the NBA (so far).

Dec. 21: Wizards vs. Nets postponed

Dec. 22: Raptors vs. Bulls postponed

Dec. 23: Nets vs. Blazers postponed
