DUKE IN THE NBA

Ok I'm gonna ask a stupid question and I know it's stupid but I am an old fart and that is my excuse. Ok I'm sitting here watching the three point contest and Zack Levine just finished. He had a sleeve on his not shooting arm. What is the purpose of a sleeve whether it is on his shooting arm or no shooting arm? I trust Q to give me right answer without making fun of me. OFC
compression benefits. Arm sleeves help in compression that further benefits the player from avoiding any sort of swelling, blood clot, and fatigue. In fact players also wear sleeves on their non-shooting arm to avoid any injury during the game.
Kyrie Irving (24 points), Jayson Tatum (21 points) and Zion Williamson (10 points) combined for 55 points in a 170-150 loss to Team LeBron. Irving added 12 assists in the loss.
Marvin Bagley, III scored 11 points in a 125-105 win over Houston.
Seth Curry scored 14 points in a 127-101 win over Washington.
Brandon Ingram led New Orleans with 28 points and Zion Williamson added 23 in a 116-82 win over Cleveland. Quinn Cook scored 13 points and was 3-of-4 from 3 in the loss.

I was watching the Knicks/Nets game last night and in the midst of Kyrie just going off, they said something about Kyrie having the highest offensive rating in the NBA this year. Not sure which metrics they were talking about but they also mentioned him being at 50/40/90 in FG/3pt/FT percentages (although the FT dropped below 90 with two misses last night). Man, when he and Harden and KD are all on the court together consistently, how do you guard that? Each of those three dudes is like having cheat codes on a video game. Kyrie was embarrassing people last night. So fun to watch. 34 points on 18 shots. Sick stuff. And it would seem Joe Harris is the perfect role player to help keep defenses honest. If the Nets can play any D at all they should be hard to beat come playoffs, if they're healthy

i agree! So unfair and so fun to watch!
My friend tells me that the Charlotte Hornets are fun to watch this year. I nod as if I watch them all the time, but I don't. They never seem to be on ESPN, ABC or TNT. Are they ever on local TV?
