Something else seems to be going on too though, something that drastically affects how well a team can play defence (and offence too for that matter). Something which has gotten Kevin Braswell in a little trouble and which has lightened the weight of his wallet.
That’s the future of the NFL and I’m not completely comfortable with it… every middling team out there is going to start trying to emulate these two offences and it’s going to be very messy… sorta like basketball teams thinking they have to play like the Golden State Warriors even though they don’t have any all stars, let alone four of them.
Ah now what do we have here? Thunder against the Warriors? Westbrook against Durant? Adams against Draymond… okay Draymond was injured so we didn’t get that battle (out with a sore toe, presumably injured it kicking somebody in the nuts) but the rest of it was all in place.
It’s very easy to overlook the continued excellence of the game’s best players. Swept up in the storylines of Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, Drew Brees… all that lot. And each of them has been incredible, no doubt.
Ah yes but what about the Stache Bros reunion? New York Knicks in town, that means Enes Kanter, right? Sure does friend. Enes scored 19 points off the bench, perfectly matching Steven Adams’ total.
It’s weird how quickly things can change in sport. A week ago I wrote a thing about what was a very confusing Breakers team, trying to come up with some kind of clearer picture as to what we’re dealing with here.
What exactly does Jimmy Butler want? That’s the big question at the heart of his recent trade to the Philadelphia 76ers. Whatever you think Butler’s motives are, that’s what defines your idea of this trade.
Okey doke, so here we are nine weeks into the season and I do believe that there are three leading MVP candidates: Drew Brees is the sentimental pick as probably the greatest quarterback in history never to have won it before, his would be a career reward as much as anything – although his incredible performances in 2018 mean he’d clearly deserve it…
The Breakers host Cairns Taipans on Friday looking to get their season heading back in the right direction after so far failing to win consecutive games. They’re only 2-3, which is almost funny to realise because it feels like they’ve been so inconsistent and yet they’re one game away from an even record.
First possession of the game, Westbrook found Adams for a couple. Second possession, Westbrook found Adams for a couple. Third possession Westbrook went and did it himself. Fourth possession, Westbrook found Adams for a couple.
Which teams are freaking out after the first couple weeks of the new season, which teams are already putting the champagne on ice… and how legit are those typically American overreactions?
I’m sorry Hue Jackson, I am for real / Never meant to laugh as your team tied / Or every game you went to overtime…
And just like that the Thunder are rolling. Got that first win, welcomed back their big guy from Rotorua, and went out and pumped the Clippers thanks to an incredible third quarter.
