DUKE IN THE NBA

[dukehokie]

Thanks for keeping this rolling @Quavarius. Love keeping up with the league and definitely Duke's guys in the NBA.

I second that is regards to Q's efforts!

The one thing I do not like about keeping a close eye on the NBA and having the NBA package is that I get much less sleep now.

@SportsCenter: DEFEND THE LAND!

Kyrie drops 32 Pts to lead Cavs to their best start since the 2000-01 season.

Guess Jah is still injured? Hasn't played tonight. 76ers just traded for another big today. Hope he gets moved soon. Hendo is having a big night so far.

 

[Quavarius]

Mike Dunleavy also had 11 points and was 2-for-3 from 3 for Cleveland.

 

[Quavarius]

Gerald Henderson scored 18 points as Philadelphia beat Orlando 103-101. Okafor did not play.

 

[Quavarius]

Luol Deng had 10 points and six rebounds in a 115-108 loss to Indianapolis. Brandon Ingram only scored two points in 15 minutes of action.

 

[Quavarius]

Jabari Parker scored 21 points in a 117-113 win over New Orleans.

 

[Quavarius]

Rodney Hood scored 19 points and was 50% from 3 (4-for-8) in a 106-91 win over SAN Antonio.

Jabari throws it down

It looks like Dukies are making terrible pros. Didn't one of our regular thr posters say that Kyrie was the only star Duke had in the NBA . I guess I need to look up what star means. OFC

No, planned day off for Jah. He is still not playing on back to backs yet. He will play tonight and I read his minutes restriction will go up to 24 minutes a game now.

Jabari is one of my favorite Duke players. He is a really good person on top of an emerging player. He has a ways to go but it is fun to watch his progress.

 

[timo0402]

As Jabari continues to stay healthy he will continue to get better. He has so much talent and is a very hard worker with a great temperament. Hoping he has a big year...maybe get a few more boards...

 

[Quavarius]

@SportsCenter: LeBron might be right about Kyrie being an MVP candidate.

 

[Quavarius]

Agreed Denn and Timo. He could be the face of the Bucks in a few years.

 

[Quavarius]

Bron stating that Kyrie should be considered an MVP candidate is huge. I think it's Westbrook's to lose, but Kyrie should get some consideration and having the GOAT mentioning that can't hurt.

 

[denniden]

I think as long as Westbrook has one good leg, he will run away with the MVP. He should have gotten more consideration the last few years IMO.

 

[Quavarius]

@Lakers: Luol Deng has his second double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds as the Lakers beat Atlanta 123-116.

 

[Quavarius]

Jahil Okafor scored 12 and Gerald Henderson added 11, but it wasn't enough as Philadelphia fell to Charlotte 109-93.

 

[Quavarius]

LA Clippers (Rivers, Redick) takes on OKC Thunder (Singler) at 10:40 pm EST on ESPN

 

[SWEc/o95]

Big three Ingram hit tonight. Needs to assert himself more. Two shots in 22 minutes is not enough.

 

[barkingpumpkin]

Fun moment in the clippers game: Redick, Paul, and Felton all on the court together. For those who long for mid-2000s ACC brawls.

 

[SWEc/o95]

Hood had 23 and 7 tonight to help the Jazz top the Black Buzzard and the Mavs.

I said the same. Lakers got the win though

Lol

One of them anyway Q. Giannis is pretty darn good himself.

I would like to add that James Harden could rival Russ' numbers this year. Only problem with Harden is i play more defense that him and I am swiss cheese.

 

[dukehokie]

They have a good young nucleus there. They'll be a force either this year or next if they can put it together.

 

[Quavarius]

Cleveland vs. Boston on TNT right now with Thunder/Warriors to follow.

 

[Quavarius]

Kyrie HOT from downtown. Already 3-for-4 from 3 midway through the second quarter

 

[dukehokie]

This Thunder/Warriors matchup has a playoff feel. Being played with a lot of emotion. I still live the magic trick the Warriors pulled. They turned HB40 into Kevin Durant. Good lord.

 

[Quavarius]

Kyrie Irving scored 23 points in a 128-122 win over Boston.

 

[Quavarius]

Jabari Parker scored 27 points (4 for 6) from 3 and grabbed eight rebounds in a 125-107 win over the Pacers.

 

[Quavarius]

J. Winslow scored 13 points, but Toronto beat Miami 96-87.

 

[Quavarius]

J.J. Redick scored 12 as the LA Clippers beat Memphis 99-88. Austin Rivers scored eight off the bench.

 

[Quavarius]

Mason Plumlee scored 19 points as Portland beat Dallas 105-95.

 

[Quavarius]

Rodney Hood had 18 points, but San Antonio beat the Jazz 100-86.

 

[Quavarius]

Brandon Ingram scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds as the Lakers shocked Golden State 117-97.

 

[Quavarius]

This is the 1st time in 157 games that Steph Curry hasn't made a 3. J.J. Redick now has the most consecutive games with a 3 pt FG with 61.
