There are 15 games in the NBA today, and all teams have games, because the US election is going on tomorrow. With so many games, some teams and some players, the performance since the start of the season has been really impressive.
The Cavaliers defeated the Bucks again to make it eight straight wins to start the season, something that none of the Cavaliers under James could do. Although Brother Alphabet didn't play today, the Bucks played better overall than the last game, and once overtook the score in the fourth quarter, and they were one step away from ending a five-game losing streak.
But Mitchell's stunner in the last game, and Garland's 39 points and 8 assists today have become the key to the team's victory. The Cavaliers' eight-game winning streak is not unsuccessful, but there are always people who can stand up and lead the team forward, and there are always surprises in the bench lineup.
When people thought that Mobley's offense wouldn't get better, he developed good offensive ability this season, averaging 17.6 points, 8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks per game, and even shooting 40% from three-point range.
The Cavaliers are the team that has changed the least in the offseason, and their core roster will be the same for the next few seasons. But Mobley's progress, Garland is no longer lost, and it takes too much offensive pressure off Mitchell.
The biggest change for the Cavaliers was firing Bickerstaff and hiring Atkinson as head coach. The coach was well received during his time with the Nets, and after settling as an assistant coach for the Warriors, he once again showed his talent for adjusting the offense with the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are impressive, and Atkinson has reasserted his name.
You may not believe it, but the Pistons are becoming one of the league's best-performing teams in the same period. After suffering a four-game losing streak at the start of the season, the Pistons have won three of their last four games, and today they won back-to-back games against the Lakers, still in the midst of a thick eyebrow state that is still exploding.
After the start of the season, the Lakers gradually entered the familiar form. Today they were more like the back-to-back team, the first half was dull and lifeless, rebounding shots, shooting wildly, and turnovers, and they were soon led to 20+ by the Pistons.
In the second half, the Lakers gradually woke up and increased their intensity on the defensive end, but it was too late, and the Pistons' group of youngsters withstood the Lakers' counterattack. Duren grabbed eight offensive rebounds, CC had a triple-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and Ivey had 26 points on two three-pointers.
Ivey has been the Pistons' number one offensive arrow more than once, and he's grown familiar with such a role. And the core CC of the Pistons is actually happy to see such a scene, Ivey shares the defensive pressure for him, he can better organize the tandem and get better offensive vision.
CC and Ivey have grown steadily, and the other young Pistons are showing their energy on the court and then winning games, and that's the beauty of the youth game. The Pistons have been rotten for a long time, but this season really feels different, and the games lost are basically stale, and any team can pull their wrists, which is impressive.
Curry came back today, and the Warriors easily defeated the Wizards, and a large part of the fun of watching this game is to watch the various episodes of Poole and Dream Chasing, and they can be regarded as living up to the expectations of the viewers.
In the first half, Poole broke off two goals from Dream Chasing face to face, and also hit a three-point shot on Dream Chaser's head, but Curry immediately found the court for his younger brother and hit a three-point whistle. At this time, Dream Chaser pointed at Poole to provoke, how do you say a four-character idiom?
Today, Dream Chasing shot 5 of 7, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block; Poole was 8-of-20 from the field and finished with 24 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks. The data of these two people, it seems more reasonable to reverse the names.
Poole has also entered the ranks of "impressive" this season, and last season Poole made a big deal about leading the Wizards before the start of the season, but he became an out-and-out joke by playing the role of being demoted to the bench at one point.
This season, Poole has talked less and done more. So far this season, he has averaged 22.5 points per game and shot 45.3% from three-point range. I'm not surprised that he's averaging 22 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage has improved by 12 percentage points from 33 percent last season, which is enough to show that he didn't practice less in the offseason.
Defensively, Poole is currently the league's steal leader with 2.8 steals per game, while he also has around 1.2 blocks per game. With Kuzma no longer in the north, Poole really played like a team leader, not wasting shots and doing his best on the defensive end.
Having disappointed countless people in a highly anticipated situation, and then rising back to the brink of ridicule, Poole has had enough twists and turns this year. These ups and downs, if they can make Poole really mature, are valuable.
Without the precipitation of the past, there will be no growth in the present. This alliance is cruel and cold, no one will pull you, and your teammates will want you to be depressed forever. You are the only one who can save yourself.
