Two guys from the Heat named Max Strus and Gabe Vincent go for 32 and 27 last night. Etc. And on the other hand, I feel Bullock goes full beast mode when he has a game where he makes 2 shots.
The Grizzles are amazing. They are scoring 120 plus points most games and are just beating teams down without their best player. Bane with another game of scoring 24 with going 4-5 from 3. Most nights you look at their box score and they typically have at least 4 starters in the teens with points.
Houston signed Garrision Matthews. He was on a two way contract but they signed him for a four year 8 million dollar contract. I was unfamilar with him but Zach Lowe talked about him on one of his podcasts. Looks like a cool story.

It is also frustrating that the Lakers looked really good against the Mavs and then the next team look like a tire fire. I don't think it was anything the Mavs did. I really thought the Lakers looked good even with a less than peak Anthony Davis. Last night, Minnesota ran all over them. I know that happens in the NBA when one night you have it and the next night you don't. But man, I would have loved to play that Laker team last night instead of the one we got to play.
Matthews can score. I remember him with the Wizards last year, and the token minutes he did get, he wasn't bad. He's the reason they are waiving House. Houston is 7-3 with him in the starting lineup.
