checking out lock on daily as well lockon daily.com um for the best newsletter for your favorite NBA team okay now again I I did tweet out some stuff earlier today about not being able to be or or to do um the early show the wer wire show ended up being able to do that this one’s going to be cut a little bit short this recap show there are six games on five early ones and then one late one I’m not going to be recapping the wolves and Clippers games because well game it’s only one game again because I’ve got some other personal stuff family stuff to uh to do this afternoon so this will just be a little bit of a shorter recap show if anything major happens there yeah sure maybe I’ll put out a little Inc car video or something like that but probably probably won’t probably won’t um so that’s what we’re here and that’s what we’re going to do all right so like I said we’re here to recap the action we’re talking Wednesday there were uh we six games on we’re going to talk about the five of them here let’s just get in early on though and just cover off a little bit of news that we do need to get to that I didn’t talk about in the preview show earlier today because the Warriors dropped a few little injury nuggets there for us we know that Anthony Davis is out uh no Anthony Davis that’s something else I’m reading Draymond Green is out Steph Curry is out as well for the game tomorrow against the Rockets Andrew Wiggins popped up as questionable and on the other side Fred vanet popped up as questionable and tar een is dealing with a concussion and he is out so all that stuff came out of nowhere that was not reported whatsoever so no Steph no Dre no een maybe no Wiggins maybe no van vet for that game um weird weird what we’re going to mean what mean we’re going to get there is going to get a lot more of Kavon Looney a lot more of John kaminga a lot more of Brandon pky you might even be getting someone like a Moses Moody stepping up because no Stephy is important there so Pim is going to have to do a lot of point point guard stuff you’ll get some uh off for you all you double Onyx Legends you might actually you might get some Pat Spencer you might double Onyx platinum diamond titanium guys I know you’ve probably already picked Pat Spencer up but he might be able to get you 15 or so minutes on that uh in that second unit just get because the point guards are non-existent there’s nobody there so Gary Payton’s not going to do that I think MOS Moody’s not going to do it Kyle Anderson will do it a little bit but just keep an eye there on all mate um Pat Spencer cam Spencer’s brother cam Spencer by the way for the Grizzlies off 51 in the G League the other day um so that’s all happening and wom yama’s out too which I did talk about in the preview show but no wimy so we had that’s the first of a back toback so we’ll see if it’s just a precautionary thing with his back issue but Zack Collins Charlie Bassie both of those guys become really interesting streams we also got the update on Terren man um with the broken finger he’s having surgery on that that’s at least three weeks and we said that if it was one of those lower down finger things and he doesn’t need surgery it’s a a 4we thing so that’s four weeks that’s the rest of calendar year so January he’s going to be back we saw you we’re going to get an example of that today but in today’s game with the Clippers there’s no pal and there’s no um uh Kevin Porter I believe playing in that game as well so it’s not going to be a full representation or did Porter is porter back now Porter’s out so there’s no Porter no man and no pal in that game but pal and Porter are going to be back very soon so it’s not going to be a full representation but we’ll keep an eye on my man Jordan Miller as an option there but I’m just going to guess with man out you get Miller just taking those 20 minutes or so with Porter and coffee doing little bits and pieces and nobody really becomes a 12 team League option in that situation would be my my guess all right should we get in and talk about the games we did the waiver wire most added earlier on in the day let’s just get in here to talk about these games the first one of those games was the Boston Celtics taking on the Detroit Pistons the Pistons it was a back-to-back so in good news there Kate Cunningham was playing in the back toback they lose at 130 to 120 but Kade played 34 minutes of the back toback he had 279 and 14 with Elite field goals still not doing as much as I’d like from the line in terms of getting there enough but two of two is fine and three3 that’s a very very big performance and this man had been struggling not Kate but the next guy the thick hogman Tobias Harris and he’s put together two absolute monsters 27 with six threes two Steals and a block I thought we’d be getting more not necessarily games like this but games where he would do things more with usage uh in this situation in Detroit versus where he was in Philly and it has been that way until now I don’t know if this kickstarts what Tobias Harris is going to do for the rest of the season but this is more in line with how my expectations were for Toby we’ll see what happens licky Beasley stunk yesterday and was back in business 23 with six threes and two steals that’s great he played 33 minutes cool like that’s okay we know that the confidence you should have in him is very very low but I think there’s one thing we know that he is significantly better than Tim Hardway not that not that that’s saying a lot why they keep starting Tim Hardway I’ll never know but Beasley is at least streamable if you want to hold I I get it but I also don’t think you necessarily need to Jaden Ivy is in a real slump at the moment 112 and two no volume um no counters nothing really going on there he he just did not play well at all in this game and it’s been a couple of games like that I would hold especially in points leagues but categories if I’m in a 10 teamer he is on The Fringe I don’t really think there’s any or or much debate really about that at uh at all what else is going on with this team I yeah how about the passport Legend Jaylen Duran who had five points he shot 20% from the field and 50% from the line he did have two assists and five rebounds but it has been an absolute disaster class from him this season if I’m in a 10 Team league and I’m not but if I was and it’s 10 team points League he’s Jacko get that gabbage out of here like clearly like there’s not enough upside in the and that’s sometimes the decision we got to make like what is the upside if this gets turned around for this player like is Jaylen during the top 40 points there guy no like top maybe but that seems so far away anyway so I I don’t think that you need to be holding in those points formats category leagues it’s a little bit more debatable but he’s been bad all season and if you wanted to move on I totally get that Isaiah Stewart didn’t do much two and two with the steel on a block as a replacement and Tim Hardway also had two points just a lot of garbage on this team uh that’s not really doing anything it was a solid game from Marc assassi had 12 points in his 19 minutes that was with assar Thompson out um we don’t need to roster assar Thompson we don’t need to roster mark sassa either I’m I’m pretty certain about that or at least at this point if we look now at the um at the Boston Celtics side of this equation they did make changes Pingus returned but Tatum rested I said on the other show the other day that I’m going to guarantee you close as I can to 100% that Tatum is going to sit one of the next three games it was this one they got a back toback at the end of the week as well maybe he sits that one I’m not sure but he was out poringa started Al Horford came back in and he started luk n went back to the bench and Sam Hower returned and that meant Jordan uh Jordan Walsh went to the bench there was still no uh Drew holiday here and they of course no Tatum Pingas 29 minutes 26 and9 33s and two blocks the speed that this man got back to 4 minutes is incredible when I was talking to Celtics people in the offseason they’re like okay January and then he won’t get they won’t push him to four minutes until round the end of January Allstar no what are we talking about it’s the that’s what it day is it the Buddy 5th of December 4th of December and he’s playing 30 minutes a night already all that’s unbelievable ridiculous recovery Jaylen Brown cooked in this one too 286 and9 with three steals Maxim Derek white I guess his foot is fine he had two Steals and two blocks with 11 assists and even Luke cornette played 21 minutes so he got the nod over NES KO the pastel Donato was a DMP and cornette did his thing cornette has put up some big numbers lately two Steals and two blocks here with nine and eight and maybe he’s the guy we look at because there is a back toback coming up I don’t know whether it’s going to be one of those scenarios where um they rest Pingus and Horford together and that would obviously corn but I think you probably want them to alternate the rest so that cornet can do 21 and 21 if that’s what they do but we’ve seen it with sneaky Joe moua tman might have a crack kayen might have a crack it’s a little bit over the place and it’s going to be risky streaming guys like that 14 points for Al Horford he is solid enough when he has to start like this when he’s a bench player he’s not a fantasy guy but when he starts he is and pton Pritchard 34 minutes for him 19 and five with 53s just continuing the good times in another start and speaking of another start Sam Hower 20 points and 53s this is this team with so many of these really really solid players that there are so many options here when they need to rest guys that players can just step up Pritchard is a 12 team guy how’s not he’s probably more 14 16 same as cornette but in the short term and they and this is really key it’s why we started doing the fives and twos in the daily um preview shows because the Celtics had a five game in seven night stretch meaning they were going to rest guys so loading up on and the cornette one’s hard to predict but Hower even though he has set a game he’s been great and pritchard’s been great and all these guys get this short-term boost because of the way they condense that schedule in we’re going to come back we’re going to talk about the other games from the day as well but today’s episode is brought to you by chime the holiday season is here and that

first game done dusted in the books Let’s go to the uh the next game up for us to take a squiz out we’re talking Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets um in the end it was the the Nets who get the victory they’re up bigger in this one and then the Pacers did start to claw back the Pacers started Quenton Jackson with Andrew nard resting on the second half of the back toback but in the second half it wasn’t Quenton Jackson I know it was the dildo Johnny Fury was in there and starting and this was very clearly I would say um Fury’s best game we’ll just start with fur because he played 25 minutes he had 12 points seven rebounds 4 threes now you know that I was probably outrageously high on Fury cuz again I hate the draft class I don’t like the quality of the players in this draft as a general rule yes there are individual things that I like right but I had Fury as maybe a lottery guy definitely a top 20 player and he went in the second round and I didn’t really understand it I don’t know that this is that’s going to be a good take or not I’ve got no idea we’ll find that out in a few years time but I’m very encouraged by what I saw from Fury I wouldn’t grab him but there are there is interesting stuff here considering look I don’t think that Quenton Jackson’s him at all he played eight minutes and didn’t come back so if I’m in the old Double onx Diamond titanium Platinum leagues maybe maybe fur’s worth the look maybe maybe I hope he is but I’m not sure really slow start by tyus halberton but he ended up with 37 minutes 17 3 and8 two Steals and two blocks and if you cried about it start of the game well I guess some of your tiers might have been a little bit nicer by the end of that cuz it’s not it’s not great don’t get me wrong but it is better Turner had 11- seven with four blocks and four assists and Obie toppen also got some extra minutes 24 minutes for toppen he had 13 and5 with two Steals and a block which is fine but it’s very hard to have any sort of faith in him with the absence of nard we got more Timothy John McConnell he had 142 and two and tell what’s weird with McConnell his assist numbers are very much down this season it’s something to just keep an eye on what Ben math it’s a lean patch here from mathine I guess there was a general consensus that mathin may have figured it out and was really breaking out but maybe not outside the top 120 over the last two weeks he got eight points here with four rebounds shot horribly didn’t even didn’t even get to the line we’re holding him for now but I don’t think the book is fully closed on yes Maan is a rest of season guarantee guy not I don’t think that is necessarily going to happen I think we’re fairly good with jarus Walker though he had one point in for minutes and he looks uh pretty terrible at the moment on to the Nets because there as as we have seen over the last whatever it is week or so there have been weirdness things happening with this net team they moved or made a change in their starting L because cam Johnson return that me Tyrese Martin moved to the bench let’s just talk about Johnson because this man continues to just put up ridiculous numbers and I would be very interested in selling off 26 and S with seven threes two Steals and a block his volume is way up while cam Thomas is is out and so you know that you can’t do this when Thomas returns and be like well now Thomas has gone should I sell on Kevin Johnson you’ve got to take a hit oh as my voice takes a hit you’ve got to take a hit in the short term that is how you can pull off giggity any sort of sell High Buy Low you’ve got to be like do this and get let that person cook with Johnson for a week or two and then when we hit the January the 10th and then he’s doing less or maybe he’s Hur or he’s traded or whatever then the value comes back to you but you got to take a hit somewhere usually usually Ben Simmons what a uh what a Ben Simmons this is seven points in 21 minutes but seven boards nine assists two deals and three blocks whenever I’m running shows like my waiver wire shows and then I’m going in there and I go to do things like um yeah put out you know must roster guys the name that always seems to pop up is old mate Ben Simmons like I don’t really think I want to put him as a must roster player but while he is playing and for certain people in category leagues this all makes a lot of sense so consider that like look at what it means for your team but go for it we knew that there was going to be a drop off from Dennis Shredder um this is obviously terrible four points on 18% um that stinks it’s terrible right we still keep holding him though and it’s not going to be that bad and we actually got big minutes from Jaylen Wilson finally the volleyball had 11 points in 36% shooting he had three assists and two Steals and that’s just more streamable stuff impressed with um dayon sharp him and Ben Simmons had a very good connection going in sharp actually hit a 3-2 so just watch that he started doing that a little bit at the end of last season Dron had seven and six here while Claxton had 16 and8 and it was just a better night for a lot of these nets guys Keon Johnson did start again he didn’t really do much there it was Shake Milton Who provided value Off the Bench 153 and four for shake with two steals but again look at the game logs they’re all over the place and I think we’re going to have Milton and Johnson and uh um Z Williams if he returns and uh my mate Jackie CH and just random blocks like that popping off not enough to get super excited about considering their mus grab players or anything along those lines I know everything feels um bigger and gets blown out of proportion more when it’s the Lakers but man there’s there’s something going on I’m going to come back and we’re going to talk about that Lakers and Heat game very very soon stay tuned it’s coming up but in the meantime today’s episode is brought to you by

all right so let’s talk about the Lakers in the heat both of these teams have had incredibly compressed schedules basically playing almost every day over the last 8 to 10 days but you know one team here was able to push through that a little bit more um the other team did not and the other team that did not is the Lakers they trotted out the the same starting lineup there was no Austin Reeves and I know look the score looks bad 13493 but it was just worse it was worse than that they got cooked like it was some of the most embarrassing stuff you’ll ever see and it was a situation where I don’t know what the problem is but JJ reck said this he said he’s going to meet with everybody to try and figure out and certain players individually whatever that means to prevent the group from splintering further okay there’s a lot to take out of that phrase you know meet with the coaching stuff cool you do that the team know is certain players individually who are the players what’s going on is it is it LeBron is it ad is it DLo crying about his role I don’t know but the fact that they say splintering further means that it’s already splintered it means that everything is like not good this is not a form slump J Rick came out and told us that right now yeah there’s some form here right there’s form here that’s a problem but this is not a form issue this is a locker room issue is it reic they don’t like him as a coach is it LeBron is it bronny is it that stuff is I I I don’t know but it is not form I mean it is form obviously but that is not the problem that is worrying me with this Lakers team and again this stuff does get blown out of proportion cuz it’s the Lakers but they literally said this reck came out and said further splintering further meaning it is splintered already it is bad I don’t even know if I picked the Lakers to make the playoffs this season but I man this is terrible they are they look shocking at the moment and this was again some of the more embarrassing stuff that you will see I’m not going to I can’t sit here and tell you what it is and I can’t like single out well this guy needs to do this and this is all because of this player and this I don’t know that right and I’m sure that at some point you’ll hear something or whatever it is but there’s something going on there is something clearly going on in saying all of that LeBron had one of his better games he played 29 minutes he had 29 Points with eight assists he hit all of his free throws went 67% from the field and yeah he’d been really struggling before that we’ll see what happens moving forward but that’s that’s a good game and outside of him not many other people had good games speaking of not a good game what the hell is this from Anthony Davis this man was cooking as a number two number three player early this season he is like what outside the top 40 over the last five games eight and seven with five assists on 211% nothing’s going in the effort isn’t there he was a minus 29 in this game is it a LeBron ad issue I don’t know I don’t know but that is terrible Jano Russell was fine he played 30 minutes starting in place of Austin Reeves 121 and4 that’s not great but his minutes in production had trended up a little bit so I’m okay with holding on to him I’m I’m going to be okay with you holding on to doton connect as well but I’d also be saying get that gabbage out of here another stinker of a game from him two points in 23 minutes he did have two steals he had a block and he played 23 minutes what am I going to say about dton connect you know what I’m going to say he needs 30 plus minutes he needs strong usage and he needs to be well above expectations shooting wise that is the only way he’s having fantasy value and he’s not getting the shots he’s not getting the minutes and then not going in so you don’t do deal with that this is tall Malik Beasley this is who’s another Caucasian Gary Trent that’s what we’re talking about here he’s not the second coming he’s not the bloke that’s bringing you know the title to LA because of what a theft he was in the draft he’s a three-point shooter who got incredibly hot if you want to hold on to him I get it that’s okay I wouldn’t Max Christie I have liked Christie as a player for a little bit of time and honestly he’s done nothing for me to actually like him he’s hasn’t done anything there’s just always something go maybe maybe and I got a little flash of it here I’m not going to get excited about at 117 and 5 in 26 minutes but there was just a little bit of something there we also got three steals out of Gabe Vin which is probably the first positive thing anyone said about Gabe Vincent in the last two years and Haim mura was like okay 14 points in 26 minutes but ruie is just well over represented in 12 te leag he does not need to be rostered 14 and three is just it’s not good enough he’s not good enough he’s not good enough to be an NBA starter he’s not good enough to be a 12 team fantasy guy and those two things don’t always go hand inand but they do here in this case just something has to something has to break or change I don’t know what it is they can’t really make any trades there’s no point giving away draft picks to get better this season because they’re not going to be good enough anyway there’s an internal problem here and it’s yeah it was watching that game you look at and go somebody hates somebody here player to player player to coach GM to whatever somebody hates somebody somebody I don’t know did LeBron root one of his teammates wife that like yeah Bron’s maybe like not his wife he’s his mom the reverse Delante I don’t know I don’t know there was supposed to be a joke about LeBron being his his dad but like yeah I screwed up the wording but what what are you going to do about it it was maybe it’s funnier just in staying at that level um we’ll talk about the Miami Heat side of this now because they get the wind that they needed because that hasn’t mean smooth sailing there Jim Butler returned he started that meant that H H Huna moved to the bench and had nine points in 17 minutes and obviously you’re jacking him get that cage out of here although maybe you’re hacking him get that gabage out of here let’s hack off ha Hu hun um yeah see you later Jimmy had 17 and N five assists that’s a pretty good game considering like how like much of a blowout is that’s getting good numbers up and Tyler hero in 27 minutes the big fell dropped N9 threes with 31 points oh my God this guy has unbelievably elevated his game this season I still believe that he’s not going to shoot at this level cuz no one does but he’s been great and even bam was able to hit shots that’s how now you know it was a good game 75% for bam 1410 and 7 and they just did not have to try this team uh that’s not fair fair cuz they obviously tried enough to cook this Lakers Squad but Heywood heith got 20 or 30 minutes actually he had 14 points with four threes he is a unreliable streaming guy while roier even in the blowout had 16 in 25 minutes and that guys gives me even more confidence to uh get that garbage out of here you don’t have to with roier like I’d much rather hold him than Huck is but yeah look it’s just not happening at this point we got 12 Drew Smith minutes in this game and 19 pal lasson minutes um Kevin Love returned and put up an actually a ridiculous line in the minutes that love played 10 4 and five in 15 minutes but yeah like I said just an absolute ass kicking um and nothing that yeah it’s it’s hard to get to like out in front of everything there because it’s doesn’t mean a whole lot to be honest let us um let’s us move on to the next game now it is our yes our Orlando Magic against the Sixers they win at 106 102 um John Isaac 15 minutes of a game time only you go well that that’s not good enough is it well somehow he had a rich Beno in that time two steals two blocks two threes scored 14 points had a locker room trip and still was ridiculous it’s he is so tough to figure out what is going on the defensive ability is clearly there right he just keeps doing that it’s not for every team in it’s not for points league so cover your ears ufs in fact but if you’re in a category League I think it probably is worth a look it’s not for everybody but there’s enough there that it’s good um suggsy 37 minutes for Jaylen after playing 39 yesterday 172 and six with three threes and four sorry three Steals and four threes and kcp if it wasn’t for the steals it would be terrible he had five of those he had seven points in 32 minutes threes and steals streaming only wendow Carter didn’t do very much he had two points in 32 minutes Goa bad did probably the same amount of not very much 21 minutes only for Goa so what have we do here with Goa the fear for me when Wendell returned was that goa’s minutes were going to drop back down and he wouldn’t be usable then the first couple of games they shot through the roof go this is hard to make sense of now Goa did suffer a fall in this game in the first half onto his back he didn’t have to go to the locker room or everything he started the second half but maybe that was part of it but also like the last couple of games when badad have not been super super strong well actually that’s true he didn’t play yesterday and now you H’s back in this one so I am holding Goa for now I don’t think it’s a long-term thing I don’t think it’s going to be happening by January but for now we hold Mo Vagner also was fine two steals two blocks and I think he had blocks yesterday to Vagner which he doesn’t usually do just get some extra bonuses in there I haven’t even talked about the other Vagner France had 35 and s in his 36 minutes that is a fantastic performance well we had 30 minutes from rest of black he had 10 points he had seven assists he had no defensive stats those minutes were a little bit of a surprise we don’t normally get that from him we haven’t got that from him from a while I I wouldn’t be be bothered with that I don’t I don’t think he’s good enough I don’t think the consistency is there enough to consider him in 10 or 12 or 14 team leagues he is like 204th for the season that’s like incredibly deep League sort of stuff we’re going to go on now and talk about the Philadelphia 76ers side of this game it does appear that we might be getting an appearance from Joel embiid coming soon but not here no Paul George in this one as well resting on the back toback so that meant that Jared McCain started and Jared McCain did the thing 39 minutes 24 points 33s and we’ve said this the whole way through if he plays huge minutes and gets a lot of shots and shoots well there’s Great Value well guess what 39 minutes 17 shots 59% shooting no one denies that he can put up these games the problem is that if you’re a 28-minute bench player then you’re not there is Kelly UB good enough of course he isn’t but UB had 154 and five with two Steals and four threes but of course georgean embiid will be back next game so that’s not true embiid might be back George will be back so I’m not going to rush and grab Jared McCain necessarily here if you want him and you want to hold and believe that this Talent is going to shine through that’s okay I just don’t know that it will get high enough to matter while Drummond and and beater out we are using Gerson Yas 157 and4 with two threes that’s a much better game than yesterday but he’s not going to be someone that has that longer term value I don’t think we had another star from KJ Martin 11 points there and that meant Caleb Martin played 23 and I think we don’t bother with either of those guys even in 14s and Maxi just continues to absolutely kill your field goals 16 points six assists two steals but 37% the volume’s there obviously but it’s working against you because of you know how poorly he’s shooting I do think that and we’ve seen a real big sample size of this he cannot be a number one we have seen this tyes Maxi cannot be a number one at this point in his career maybe he can do it in the future I don’t know but at this stage he cannot do it and every time he goes to do it well it’s like 35% shooting this has been last season and this season that has been relatively clear what this means is if you got a Paul George on your team I think you should feel a level of confidence that George is going to have to still do a lot because Maxi can’t handle that load giggity and we saw that last game from George so that’s I I guess one of the takeaways out of this one now let’s go on to the fifth game of the day which will be the last game that I am recapping here it’s the Hawks and the Bucks same lineup for Atlanta and they get the rather improvable win over the buck 119 104 what about old mate Bogdan bogdanovich who’s been pretty this season this game was strong he shot 63% and out of nowhere pulled five steals which he hasn’t been doing at all but 152 and five with five steals is a very strong game I still think he feels more like a fringe 12 team guy which is fine to have and also fine if there is situations where your roster is stacked and you can’t do it you can’t do it and that immediately makes me go to look to see what DeAndre Hunter did to be fair to him he was good as well 20 points in 28 minutes with three steals which is a huge bonus and six of six from the line I still don’t love Hunter long long term but this is a nice a nice hot streak so go for it Jaylen played 40 minutes 23 and 13 five assists 53% he is he has been so so good we loved a breakout opportunity for him I had some concerns about where the what the real shooting was but man this guy is just doing so much well speaking of doing so much well Trey Young’s not is he there are there is something clearly not right with his body because the shots just will not fall this is an unbelievable by low chance I think for Trey young now I am worried about that Achilles issue for sure but people are freaking out he didn’t have any threes or steals or blocks he had 17 four and seven now mind you he’s averaging about a million assists a game over the last couple of weeks he just can’t shoot properly someone asked me and I haven’t got back to them on Twitter said man why don’t the Hawks just rest tray if he’s not right he’s clearly not right I’ll tell you why because they just finded him $100,000 for doing that said that n you’re actually lying and you should play remember that yeah n yeah no it’s great yeah n good system um yeah Trey needs to be better than this and so does Zack R shape although I’m not sure that he can 12 points in 19 minutes with no other numbers there that’s a DeAndre Hunter line he two threes there R we don’t roster him in 10 or 12 or probably 14s honestly get that garage here capella and a kongu basically down the middle with the minutes and both of them put up 12 team lines and they will do that 8 and 17 for capella stealing a block a kongu 13 and six two steals in a block both really good games how do you determine if they’re mus roster guys at the moment capella is out playing aong Wu but I think that you probably do want to have capella on aong Wu is borderline to me you can have him you might not the upside for him seems lower because of the bench roll and like it’s it’s um he’s okay and like that game is pretty good but overall that the the balance of the work that he’s done makes him more fringy than capella but that could switch at any point and it’s going to I think remain a very confusing situation Dyson Daniels was not as good nine points here but six assists and three steals if you complain about that I’ll punch you in the face I won’t but you know maybe no I won’t I’m not I’m a pacifist Kobe buffkin had two points in 13 minutes and I do not know why I even bothered to read that out let’s go on to the Milwaukee side of this the Bucks it’s coming on a back to back here trotted out the same starting lineup Janis had 31 11 and five which is pretty good but he took 26 free throw attempts I’m so sorry like I didn’t watch all of this game 26 there’s almost no way anyone deserved 26 free throw attempts now he absolutely brutalized your free throw percentage category this week 15 out of 26 is horrendous and that is just a very very weird thing not that he’s bad at free throws but that many attempts he’s an outrageous number Lillard continues to be good 25 4 and five and Lopez had five points it is maybe a bit of the downturn for Brookie but still got the three blocks and that is sort of keeping him a float at the moment Bobby Porter only 18 minutes now we did have two steals which for him is like a miracle but I I don’t know how you could consider Bobby a must Ros to play everyone’s rostering him so I guess no one’s listening to my thoughts on it but that’s okay I’ve got thoughts you’ve got thoughts I don’t want anyone I don’t want people to come to this show thinking I’m just going to tell you what to do I’m going to tell you what I think I’m going to tell you opinions I’m going to tell you why I think them and then you can make that decision from there but you know if you don’t want to drop off you don’t I would get that gabage out of here G Trent played 31 he had 11 points with three threes toan Prince hit another 23s AJ Green hit another two threes and that’s what you do with these guys greeny took uh 11 shots and went 18% but if you’re looking for threes that’s what they do and I don’t think you can do really much more with that I don’t think there’s much more that’s going to happen with that batch of players and that guys is all I’m going to do I’m just going to have a quick have a look to see if anything interesting has actually gone on in that other game the Clippers Lakers oh sorry Clippers and um wolves has it started yet it has um not much but Jordan Miller first man Off the Bench he’s an interesting deeper League guy at least for the short term so again sorry that I’m not going to get to that um final game recap here if you are a bus with monster member I will write it up over on the site and you can check it out over there don’t forget to
