Wemby has 25 points in 8 minutes of playing time

Note: this is not a serious Lakers roster tonight (Rui, Laravia, Hayes, Kennard, Bufkin as starters), but still

And the players out there haven’t been serious about getting back on D. It’s been all-star game level.

It wasn’t going to last because with the scoring gap the way it was, he wasn’t going to get enough minutes, but I think posting a 40/12 in 26 minutes is still pretty crazy for Wemby

Knicks are really hard to get a read on

They followed their absolutely worst run of 10 games with their absolutely best run of 10 games, ending with a road win in Boston, then lose to a Pacers team that sincerely in their heart did not want to win

(edit…ehhh, front office didn’t want to win, but Siakam, Nembhard, and Nesmith all got 37 minutes, so their minutes allocation was geared to a real effort)

Yeah I have no idea what to think of them. Mike brown is a good coach but KAT and JB are not good at defense imo

I wonder if the audio caught in the tunnel from Stew added to the suspension? I feel like it might’ve.

The Pistons next 7 games are:

@ Toronto

@ Knicks

@ Chicago

vs. Spurs

vs. Thunder

vs. Cavs

@ Magic

Stew can return on 3/3 @ Cavs

I am good with that. Stew has a record hoping for 5 but 7 is better than 10. Duren didn’t get many and shouldn’t have. Collectively Pistons got 9 games and Hornets 8 games.

What was the audio? I didn’t know there was some audio.

“You don’t expect me to sit on the bench. The f*ck I got drafted to Detroit for,” he said.

Both Tolu and Ron are also listed as OUT for tonight and Poeltl may be back for the Raptors. Charles Bediako lost his case to keep playing for Alabama- let’s get him back for a game! :grin:

Ron is out for personal reasons.

Surprised that Tolu is out because BBall Paul is the only big active tonight.

The NBA agrees with my bad behavior hierarchy.

Maybe Isaac Jones gets added? He was converted to a two-way a few days ago. I just hope he has a passport and can get there in time.

It’s also possible that ESPN’s Injury Report is wrong.
