Tried watching Houston v Detroit for a bit. Not a bad game but man am I spoiled watching the Dubs. Gave up as it was just boring.

My god these threads are growing, and it took me a like an hour and a half to read through most of the comments.

Some of you are still spending way too much time looking for trades for a 9-1 team that's rolling, and with not even a single interesting scenario propositioned. Whoever you are, I bet you are the worst to watch a dubs game with lol

By the way, I'm trying an experiment. I made a little form where you can request plays to be analyzed for Explain One Play: http://tinyurl.com/AskApricot

Of course, no guarantees that I can analyze requests, but I do want to know what people are curious about.

So if you get the urge tonight, please drop a request there...

For a trade piece, SGA is the guy I'd want us to keep close tabs on. He's young, he's an incredible shot-creator and has the size/length to be okay defensively. OKC might be willing to farm him for a king's ransom (even at 23, he might be too old for their timeline lol), especially if the Cade rumours were true (some reports said OKC offered 6 + Shai for #1 to Detroit).

Ridiculously unlikely though lol.

Dubs currently first in 3PM/game and 3p%, but second in 3PA/game behind only the TWolves. Need to run them off the line while shooting and making a bunch of 3s, to get to 1st across the board.

Question for the crowd: do we want the Heat to:

A) destroy the Lakers and make them whimper for their mamas OR

B) humiliate the Lakers and expose them as the fools gold they really are?

Moody stroking it at the end of practice. Also Wiggins @0:55 - he's going to change his shooting form to be like Moody's.

Would be nice to see the team get a few more wins a breathing space atop the Standings so they can start mixing in the youngins outside of garbage time

One thing I was looking forward to looking at this year was Wiggins shot. Whether last year was an anomaly or not. 38% last year from 3 and back down to 33% right now which is coincidentally what he shot his 3 seasons before last year. But it's only been 10 games so not really worried yet.
