Would the Pistons take Austin Reaves first in a 2021 redraft? Or do we think the Thunder would’ve opened their war chest to move up for him? – 10:16 PM

Seth Curry finishes with 20 points on ten shots in the first quarter. Six 3s. He’s 12-14 from deep on the season.
Started last season on fire, struggled after getting COVID, had an insane playoffs and started this season on fire. Safe to say he’s a great offensive fit here. – 7:37 PM

End 1Q: Sixers 36, Thunder 26. Seth Curry has 23 points and Tyrese Maxey was just waving a towel at him (to cool him off) as he came off the floor. He made 8-of-10 shots, including 6-of-7 from 3. – 7:36 PM

I don’t love helping off Curry in the corner. I understand why Dort felt it was needed given JRE was on an island with Joel but that’s the mismatch OKC has to live with given the roster. Can’t compound the issue by leaving shooters open in the corner as they have this year. – 7:29 PM

Big ups to Darius Bazley for attempting to posterize Joel Embiid.
I mean, he got blocked cause it’s Joel Embiid, but gotta respect the bravery. – 7:17 PM

Darius Bazley had a fantastic block and save, then tried to end Joel’s entire career. Despite getting blocked that aggressive and confident play is what you hope to see more of. Just gotta pick the spots better. – 7:16 PM
