And yeah..Harden is definitely getting traded. Most likely for Brooklyn’s package and I don’t wanna see that. I’d love to see him traded back to OKC for SGA and some of that War Chest that Presti has built up, but Harden wants a chip so that’s not gonna happen

Between RJ and Clarke I’ll stick with the “underdog” and wait for his puberty to be completed.

Totally unaware of Portuguese food but I’m a fan of some “Portuguese” music such as Saturnia! Jose Cid is cool too! Madredeus are beautiful!

He said that slipping hard and early off screens is something they are taught by Grizz as a way to generate better opportunities at the hoop.

He said he think his block rates are down just because of adjustment to higher skill level in NBA and size in particular. Not as easy to roam and slough off his man. And people are just better.

pepper: i’m jealous man..one of my favorite dishes is porco alentejana…it’s tough to find it here in the US (a well made version that is)…

Oh that’s amazing. Have ever been in Portugal? Of our traditional dishes to be known outside, i wouldn’t bet on that one, but it’s also one of my favorite dishes. 😉

If you live in NY metro, there’s a large Portuguese community in Newark, NJ. Where there’s portuguese people, there’s bakeries and restaurants, so probably there you can find it.

The Ironbound, my current home! I can confirm that there are a bunch of great portuguese and brazilian spots. I really like the porco alentejana at Seabra’s Marisqueira. They’re more known for their seafood, but all their pork dishes I’ve tried have been superb. No Pão is the place for sandwiches. Everyone should try their francesinha once before they die.

It is an insane sandwich.

Just a reminder that the “recent improvements” you’re talking about took place in the fall/winter of 2017.

Well, all relative for a guy who has lost so much time. Just noting that he did at least hit 37% from three for a season, while Westbrook’s career high is 34.3% (the only time he ever shot over 33% from three). The Rockets really just need a guy that the other teams have to sort of pay attention to.

djphan: he’s wasn’t even at 69%… he was at 82%… there’s like 100 players in between 82% and where 69% is…

you see that right?

Yes – but it is one year and his rookie year, it might stay above 80% it might not. But most of the players on that list around him scored a lot less per 36. If you look at players with over 75% assisted and over 19 pts per 36 I’m betting that list looks both shorter and more impressive.

Brian Cronin: Yeah, I was just thinking that Wall’s recent improvement in three point shooting is a key factor here.

Just a reminder that the “recent improvements” you’re talking about took place in the fall/winter of 2017.

He’s not closer to Malone but Bam or Shawn Marion (69% assisted)
