NBA Notes: Blazers, Deni Avdija, Pelicans, Jeremiah Fears, Hawks

Trail Blazers Micah Nori can live with the Trail Blazers missing good shots. Forgetting to rebound because those shots aren’t falling? That’s another discussion. Portland went 12-of-49 from three in Thursday’s 124-103 loss to Memphis, its first defeat after a 3-0 start. “We were six for 32 on catch-and-shoots of the 49,” Nori said, via […] The post NBA Notes: Blazers, Deni Avdija, Pelicans, Jeremiah Fears, Hawks appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Kings’ Darius Acuff Jr. giving winless team something to believe in

The Kings haven’t won a game. Darius Acuff Jr. is at least giving their fans a reason to keep watching. The No. 7 overall pick delivered 34 points, 14 assists and six rebounds in Thursday’s loss to the Pelicans. Sacramento fell to 0-5, but its rookie point guard continues to look comfortable with a considerable […] The post Kings’ Darius Acuff Jr. giving winless team something to believe in appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Steve Kerr calls Ernie Johnson ‘the moral compass’ of ‘Inside the NBA’

Steve Kerr worked at Turner Sports before coaching the Warriors, so he knows something about what Ernie Johnson brings to Inside the NBA. Keeping the conversation moving is part of it. Knowing when to let it wander is another. “The beauty of the show is that it sometimes goes off the rails, and Ernie’s always […] The post Steve Kerr calls Ernie Johnson ‘the moral compass’ of ‘Inside the NBA’ appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Dribbles: Cavs run low on gas, still make Hawks sweat

Random dribbles following the Cavaliers’ 114-111 road loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. 1. Second night of a back-to-back. On the road. Against a likely playoff team. I didn’t love the Cavs’ chances. 2. But they came within a play or two of getting it done anyway. 3. In fact, Donovan Mitchell had two […] The post Dribbles: Cavs run low on gas, still make Hawks sweat appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Scott Van Pelt, Draymond Green make sense for ‘Inside.’ Ending it might, too

If Inside the NBA continues without Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley, Scott Van Pelt and Draymond Green would be my first calls. Van Pelt has the humor, credibility and ability to steer a conversation without making himself the conversation. Basically, he’s the closest thing to Ernie out there. He even looks a little like him.

Rockets’ 5-0 start comes with encouraging news for Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant doesn’t have to do everything for the Rockets. Five games into the season, that might be the most encouraging thing about them. Houston is 5-0 for the first time since 2014-15, and as William Guillory of The Athletic explains, the improvement involves more than Durant making difficult shots. Through four games, Durant’s usage […] The post Rockets’ 5-0 start comes with encouraging news for Kevin Durant appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla using AI to question his own coaching habits

Joe Mazzulla has found another way to review his work. Basically, he’s asking artificial intelligence whether he spent practice doing what he said the Celtics needed to do. It’s a reasonable question, even if most coaches probably wouldn’t explain it quite like Mazzulla. “I think it’s more to learn from your former self,” Mazzulla said […] The post Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla using AI to question his own coaching habits appeared first on Hoops Wire.
