An NBA season is made up of matches, guys who watch them and talk about them, but also guys who watch them and rate them. Probable revenge after a youth spent collecting zeros, and a perfect opportunity in any case to let go of the punchline by the kilo. Once again this season, Team Notes will delight you with its unfailing imagination, while still trying to talk a little bit about basketball. Chick?
Ah, MLK Day, the day when NBA games follow one another against the backdrop of a noble cause and the fight that continues. In any case, there was no fight with the Sixers who, apart from Joel Embiid, all seemed elsewhere, while the Wizards took out the collective to reign supreme over the game. Kuzma reinstated the death penalty, Thomas Bryant and Montrezl Harrell served as bird name sureties, and Ben Simmons was probably one of the best Sixers today, zero valve. Valves? You are going to have a little more on these notes.
# Washington Wizards
Daniel Gafford (4): three faults in the first quarter, all that to go break on the bench. Daniel Garfield.
Kyle Kuzma (7) : the double K gave Joel Embiid a nightmare on this tomar of the future. He recently said he feels like LeBron, we doubt that LeBron wears too big pink sweaters, but he has many victims to his credit in his Death Note, after all why not, on a misunderstanding it can pass.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (6,5) : in case you needed proof that it’s much easier to play without an electronic ankle bracelet. The card “you are released from prison” then the hotels built in the heads of his opponents, so KCP played Monopoly all evening.
Bradley Beal (6,5) : his game is soft like a tiramisu but sweet like an oriental pastry. He’s possibly the reason the Cainris all get diabetes at 16, but seeing this problem, he didn’t force it.
Spencer Dinwiddie (3,5) : a few well-thought passes, but that’s about all, and he’s still going to pick up his plump check at the end of the month. A mac.
Corey Kispert (5) : for him, MLK Day was a costume party, and he pulled out his best Jack Harlow cosplay for the occasion.
Raul Neto (5.5) : lots of cuts on salaries and on superfluous stuff. Raul Netto, long live discount prices.
Thomas Bryant (7): We missed him during this long year of absence, and he returns more confident and lodger than ever. Thomas Bryant has just returned from Erasmus in fact.
Rui Hachimura (5,5): the Japanese continues to return to the competition cleanly, without frills and without excess. The rising sun, the real one.
Montrezl Harrell (7) : good offensive impact, boundless energy and a real big mouth, but always moments that make it feel like the electricity is gone and the controller disconnects. You have to pay your electricity bills instead of buying Montrezl gold teeth.
# Philadelphia Sixers
Joel Embiid (7,5) : he tried everything to keep his Sixers afloat, a real crane operator’s yard but an annoying propensity to complain. The rising waters are not due to global warming and melting ice, it is just the crying of the Cameroonian pivot to the refereeing body.
Tobias Harris (3,5) : when you leave bread in the open air for too long, it hardens and becomes inedible. On this MLK Day, Tobias Harry’s was clearly a French toast.
Furkan Korkmaz (3) : a “3-point specialist” who is 0/5 tonight and who is running at less than 30% this season. We hesitate between the lucky one who won the lottery or the crook who must be denounced to the taxman.
Seth Curry (3,5) : he doesn’t do Instagram reals biting his lip and stroking his beard and he’s the brother of one Stephen. Seth Curry is the lazy student who comes after his gifted big brother in middle school and has to bear the comparison (spoiler: it’s hot).
Tyrese Maxey (6) : the only one who gave real support to Joel Embiid. All speed and fluidity, the pro shifter from the city of brotherly love was not in the wrong direction, like the darling of SCH and the rest of her teammates.
Charlie Brown Jr. (4,5) : a bigoût Malabar cut, a few rebounds and no success on shots. This match really looks like a lost bet for him.
Georges Niang (5) : The old ones who listened to the Fonky Family knew Mamadou Niang, in Philadelphia, they rather listen to Meek Mill, but they have another Niang not bad at all in the person of Georges.
Andre Drummond (3.5): it looks like he wants to avoid waking his house when he runs. Even if he joins the Sixers to no longer have to undergo the trashtalking of Joel Embiid, he has just discovered Thomas Bryant. Tonight, Dédé Drummond will dial 3020.
Isaiah Joe (4) : Really stylish, this concept of allowing a fan to realize his dream and play an NBA game in his life.
The Wizards perfectly dominated their subject and resisted a Joel Embiid as infernal as he was lonely. The Washington jailers managed better than the Philadelphia sleepers. We hope that the other teams will be better awake.
