Oh what happiness. What a pleasure to be able to slump once more on the sofa to watch basketball, even if around 60% of what we saw last night is obviously akin to a basketball porridge, pre-season obliges with all its adjustments. In any case, five matches took place that night, at least five matches between two teams, shall we say, so let’s go for the big recap because here we like to take a mouse and give birth to a mountain, as it almost says expression.
The results of the night
Five games on the menu, and five delicious reasons to have hit the first all-nighter of the season. For an almost complete recap you can click on the links above, otherwise you will have to settle for what is called here a house salvo. Breathe, let’s go. Ben Simmons played basketball once more, Kawhi Leonard played basketball once more, John Wall played basketball once more, Jamal Murray played basketball once more, Damian Lillard played basketball once more. Steve Ballmer snorted orange juice in Seattle, Keegan Murray boned the Lakers’ C team, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are good basketball players but Tyrese Maxey brought them into line. Breathing. DeAndre Jordan still plays basketball and Nikola Jokic took just one shot once morest the Thunder, OKC’s three Williams were good, Ousmane Dieng played and Josh Giddey came close to a triple-double, Ja Morant slammed a 360, Santi Aldama will spank France at the next Olympic Games and Paolo Banchero has had a bit of a bad time. Nicolas Batum played but it was Moussa Diabaté who was still the best Frenchman in California, the Lakers being the worst team in California precisely, and LeBron his worst player since he shot at 0/7. No big deal because Russell Westbrook and Pat Beverley are big smiles at each other, and that’s regarding it for tonight. For the rest ? The links above said, and the images below. Come on zou, can’t wait for next night.
