Happy Giannis was able to step up and do the job the Knicks weren't able to do. Daniels continues to be a menace to small guards. Knicks will need to free Jalen on some off ball actions going forward against the Hawks.

Don't blame him. Hard not to notice those bouncing balls.

I finally have a reason to watch this crap.

Amazon will have Taylor Rooks lead its NBA studio shows, @richarddeitsch.bsky.social reports. She has an agreement to be the lead host of Amazon's NBA pregame, halftime and postgame shows. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5999091/2024/12/16/taylor-rooks-amazon-nba-coverage/

Kind of a Brock Aller move if it holds

I'll attempt to explain the Detroit Pistons situation:

🏀Detroit didn't want Paul Reed at $7.7M, because the per day charge ($44,385) was eating into their potential cap space rapidly.

🏀Detroit waived Paul Reed to get off that bigger salary (~$2.5M in dead money for Reed), which took them below the salary floor.

🏀Detroit signed Javante McCoy to get back to the salary floor on Sunday. McCoy gets four days of salary at what should be $32,596 (this will be the dead money for McCoy after his waiver).

🏀Reed re-signs on a prorated veteran minimum contract (which will probably be non-guaranteed too) at ~$1.4M.

🏀Net result is Reed's dead money + new cap/tax hit is roughly $3.9M vs the former figure of $7.7M.

🏀End result is the Pistons still have Reed, are back over the salary floor and now have $14M in cap space to work with at the deadline vs $10.5M.

This was a VERY smart piece of cap management by the Detroit front office. Really well done!

Jordi thought he could outmaneuver the tank with good coaching.🤣

https://bsky.app/profile/theathletic.bsky.social/post/3ldhjhqlw4z2h

With Dennis Schröder gone, the Nets plan to utilize Ben Simmons as the team's full-time point guard.

Head coach Jordi Fernández says the move will speed up Brooklyn's offense.

Weird that the double header tonight has Hartenstein game 1 and DDV and Randle game 2.

Celtics were 14/56 from 3, yesterday...A better way of looking at this is that they shot 56 attempts from the 3 point line, and missed 42 of them.

The Bulls were 19/52, or 36.5%, which is considered slightly better than hitting 50% of your 2 point shots. This means that if you take 52 shots and miss 33 of them, your doing OK.

IMO the increase in 3pt shooting is making the game more boring,and even unwatchable at times.

I don't care about the statistical support for shooting so many 3s...In my opinion it makes the game boring to watch.

The Celtics Bulls game was definitely the most extreme of this era. 108 3 pt attempts is all star game territory of walking up and chucking. The Bulls have medicore shooters and try to play like the Celtics. The Celtics will just take 3 if you let them - they converged for an epic chuck fest and the Celtics had an off night

Tatum is a guy who is good going to the basket that he shouldnt just chuck from 3 but he does. Thats why I dont think he will ever be MVP. I guess who cares they are still the best team in the league.

Refs have too much ego. How you going to give him a tech before even hearing what he has to say?
