Dukies in the NBA: 2022-23

[Phredd3]

The Pels do need to figure out what it is like when Zion and BI play together. Those two guys were only on the court together for the first 14 games of the season. BI is now coming back, but Zion is gonna be a few more weeks. Gotta see if the magic the Pels found that vaulted them to the top of the West is still there when the two Dukies are playing together.

I agree with all of that, but I think perhaps my main point got obscured: Hamstring injuries tend to linger and are inherently slow to heal and difficult to predict.

Zion Williamson, Kyrie Irving, and Jayson Tatum voted All-Star starters. LeBron and Giannis will be captains and have a schoolyard pick'em right before the game.

Mason Plumlee 9-9 from the field, Mark Williams 5-5 from the field in Charlotte's win. Plumlee with the double-double adding 12 rebounds.

Mason’s shooting form is something else.

When I've watched the Pels games where BI and Zion are both playing, I often come away with the same thought: Ingram needs to be more willing to pass the ball to Zion. And: the coaches need to leverage BI and Zion working together better - like more P/R with these two (did see some of that last year I think). With BI, Zion and McCollum as a core, this team could be great when healthy

Kyrie putting on another show tonight. 20 points in the 4th so far tonight. He is literally ‘Mr. Fourth Quarter’ this year in the NBA. Highest average of points in the final stanza.

You can tell which team won.

Michael Savarino was in the background. I assume Coach K is in town to see the NYU game tomorrow vs Case Western.

Not sure where Cam Reddish was.

Nice to see shots of Coach K courtside, with Barrett, Kyrie and Seth going over immediately after the game finished to talk, give him their jerseys, etc. There was clearly much love and respect their. Coupled with good performances (Kyrie in particular took over in the fourth, with much discussion of him leading the league in fourth quarter points). Very good for the Duke brand.

Tatum vs LeBron up next. Hopefully Jayson puts on a show and the Celtics get back on track.

[SavDukeGrad]

Yes I think he was in town for Michael’s game or games. NYU menshoops had pictures on their Instagram yesterday of Coach K, Mickie, and Debbie with Michael post game, and Coach and Mickie were decked out in the appropriate NYU colors. I think the NYU Violets, a division III team, are enjoying the association with the GOAT!

BTW, social media also wondering why Cam was not in any of the pictures with RJ, Seth and Kyrie.

Cam was in dress clothes on the bench. The players actually walked over to see K and RJ came over last, so I’m not sure if the rest of the Knicks had already gone to the locker room.

Tatum alleged to have fouled Lebron at end of regulation last Night. Lebron needs to get stronger and learn to play through contact.😊

Doc Rivers after his son-in-law put on a 32 point show last week.

“I wanted to just smack him. I’m not kidding either. I was going to go over and see my grandkids on Sunday, and now I’m rethinking that now from that performance “

[lotusland]

Pretty deliberate and dirty?? I assume you’re joking, though I really don’t know you well enough as a poster to say for sure.

In any case, yesterday at the Durham YMCA I fouled my grandpa harder and more deliberately when he was going for a layup on a fast break than what Grayson did on this play.

Gramps needs to man up when he comes in the lane #nolayups!

Banchero, Magic rally from early hole, beat 76ers 119-109

Nice game from Paolo with 29 points and 10 rebounds; good win for the Magic, an improving young team

Paolo played a solid game. Wendell Carter Jr also added 12 and 9. The Magic caught the sixers flat-footed and ended their 7-game win streak.
The Magic have a good core of Banchero, Wagner, Carter and Fultz and on a given night can give anyone fits.

In his 10th NBA season, Mason is putting career high numbers.
Last 10 games , he is averaging 16.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
It's fun to watch him playing very smart basketball even though Hornets are not winning. I hope Mark Williams is learning many things from Mason.

Mark and MP2 basically play 100% of the C minutes for CHO, and they've both been exceptionally efficient lately, including last night shooting 13-14 FGs to go with 18 rebs. Too bad the stingless Jordans are otherwise so terrible. CHO should definitely try to trade MP2 and get something of value for him before he leaves, and let Mark Williams continue to develop, he's been really good since returning from his tour of decimating fools in the G-league.
