bazz not getting any run playing the knicks tonight... halftime i believe

 

[UconnU]

I don't get it. Bazz hasn't taken a shot, he isn't even taking the ball up. Hes been in the corner all night.

 

[UconnU]

Bazz is being relegated to a spot up corner 3 decoy. He isn't touching the ball at all.

 

[Gurleyman]

Adrien with a pretty good debut for Minnesota, doing Adrien things. 7 pts and 6 Rebs in 12 minutes.

Filled out the stat sheet: 13 min, 7 pt, 6 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 2 bl, 1 to, 2 pf, +7 diff

Drummond could be on the way to a big night. 8 and 12 at the half. Three of the rebounds are wild tips that turned into missed FGA, so his 3-7 from the floor could be 3-4, but with nine boards. I imagine he'd take the boards if given a choice.

Lamb is still in the rotation with Westbrook and Durant back, but I'm sure his minutes will decline a bit. Just hit a tough fadeaway.

Rudy hosts Toronto later. Curious to see what comes of that.

 

[Gurleyman]

Drummond went to sleep in the second half - blew a layup and didn't play the last 18 minutes or so.

Lamb looks great. Has 15 on 5-7 and one of his two misses was from half court at the 3Q buzzer. OKC was getting rolled and the bench has brought it down to 5.

EDIT: I'll stop posting. Lamb got burned for 2 layups on D right after I wrote this. He's probably done for the day now.

Offensively Lamb has been lights out the past three games. 75% (15-20), 78% (7-9), 86% (12-14), 20.3 minutes per game, 16.3 ppg, 4 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.6 spg. Shooting includes at least one 50 footer (end of quarter). Unfortunately he still gets burned on defense at times and that's limiting his time. He has only played 13 games so far this year and is at 42%, 40% and 89% so far.

It will be interesting to see what happens now that Durant and Westbrook are both back.

 

[Gurleyman]

Rudy ends with 20-6-10 (career high 10 assists) and shot 8-16 in a home loss to Toronto (without Cousins - but Toronto was without DeRozan). Mature performance not forcing too much against his former team to try to prove something, but still ended in a loss.

kemba bazz drummond and CV in action tonight

 

[61cygni]

WOW, what a crossover by Kemba, and draining the three!

 

[Gurleyman]

Gary McGhee is not alone. Kemba just made some poor Euro big guy fall down and buried a 3.

kembas pissed no foul was called on that rebound... maybe also stephenson took that bad shot

 

[Gurleyman]

Caron forces OT with a 3, but not before Drummond blocks a GW attempt from the Cs.

 

[James]

Jeremy Lamb's last three games: 16.3 ppg on 75.0% shooting (15-of-20), 77.8% from 3 (7-of-9) in 20.3 minutes.

 

[James]

Kemba game winner. Lamb sizzle, continues his hot shooting 15 points 4 boards on 6/7 from the field and 3-3 from downtown. Napier, forgettable minutes in a dissapointing loss to the bucks

 

[Gurleyman]

Gordon has been playing some good ball off the bench for the Magic. He was 24-40 in his last six games coming in (60 percent) and is 3-4 today in the first half against Rudy's Kings. His ability to shoot the ball could keep in the league a few more years. Rudy a bit quiet so far (6 points, 3 assists) after 27 yesterday in a win.

Drummond's Pistons lost to Philly to take over the worst team in the league mantel (not by record, but by momentum).

 

[caw]

Another good shooting game for Lamb (5-8, 2-4). Now at 74.3%, 75.0% and 85.7% the past 5 games averaging a hair over 15 a game in about 22 minutes.

He's now at 44.7% on the year from the field and 43.4 from 3.

Drummond had 16-9 and brought the game to 2 on a vicious dunk on Ibaka. Then Jennings and Smith did things they do and the Pistons lost.

Drummond needs to get off that team or they need to get rid of smith and Jennings. Also do you have a video of the dunk?

Found it

 

[Gurleyman]

Sacramento fans chanting "Rudy, Rudy" as he prepares to step to the line late in a win over Utah. Ends with another excellent night (29 on 10-19 shooting, after starting 2-7) without Cousins.

He's officially a fan favorite, and a potential All-Star.

he's had the potential to be an all-star every year, im glad he's playing the way he is now

 

[Kembacity]

Rudy has been a big surprise, wish I drafted him in fantasy. He's actually rebounding and getting assists, normally all he does is score

His rebounding rate 6.2/40 right now, which matches perfectly what it was each of the last three seasons.
