V must be asleep, no mention of Lakers being outscored 40-12 in the third quarter

[CJ Jones]

Lakers getting smoked by the Wolves. 60 points through 3 quarters ain't gonna get it done.

They seriously look horrific. You know it's bad when they're visibly missing an undrafted rookie.

Not even Lebron is bringing this squad a title.

52-16 run yikes

Lakers get blown out by 24. You hear that sound? It’s the sound of a million Laker Fans screaming in unison.

[McKeyFan]

I literally follow nothing but the Pacers. So I guess Lebron is injured?

[Sollozzo]

Warriors are something else. Just how high is Steph in the list of all time great players? Super high any way you slice it.

Many examples where college success often doesn't translate to the NBA but never understood why there were so many questions around Steph in that draft. There was clearly something special about him in college and on the big stage in the NCAA tournament.

Yeah, has a strained abdomen or something like that.

[CJ Jones]

Wow NBA.com has us at 3rd in overall rebound rate. Can the Pacers maintain being an elite rebounding team? That doesn't even sound right.

This Paul George guy is pretty good

Cade playing the 2, 3, 4 picks in consecutive games this week. If he wants to get into the ROY discussion, it'd be a good time to start playing well.

I don’t really care about ROY, but more importantly, I don’t think Cade does either. He’s not the stat stuffing type; he tries to get his teammates involved early, but you see if it’s close in the 4th quarter, the switch gets flipped and he wants the ball. He’s not fast and he isn’t an explosive finisher but he will kill you all the same. His skill level is so much fun. He’s very much a throwback.

OG Anunoby is an elite athlete and Cade made him look silly on two straight ISOs in crunch time last night. He only scored 10 points but 7 of them were in the last 6 minutes. Wasn’t a good game for him but when they needed him to be good, he was really good.

Mobley to me is the clear cut ROY leader, but it’s a long season. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad, considering all 3 were on the road.

[CJ Jones]

Niiice. I thought he was done for the year when it happened.

He's so much better now than he was with us.
