What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn Thad on his approach:
“Always be ready, just do what I’ve been doing for years – 15-year career, you don’t be here just by being here. You’re here because you have a level of consistency, a level of professionalism and a level of always being ready.” – 11:00 AM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn Thad Young:
“That’s what we’ve been working on all season. When we get a win, just basically trying to have that carry over to the next game, letting that win get thrown out the window. Not forget about it, but throw it out the window, because we have another game coming.” 2/2 – 10:55 AM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn Thad Young viewed last night’s win as another step in his young teammates’ growth. 1/2 – 10:55 AM
Justin Kubatko @jkubatko The @Chicago Bulls had three players record at least 25p/5r/5a last night:
✅ Nikola Vucevic (30/14/5)
✅ DeMar DeRozan (28/5/6)
✅ Zach LaVine (25/6/5)
It’s the first time in franchise history that’s occurred, and the first time it’s happened in the NBA since Jan. 18, 2010. pic.twitter.com/PeLmVL4ipF9:51 AM

John Hollinger @johnhollinger NBA defense is hard, chapter 23: Spurs rookie Josh Primo is trying to provide strong nail help on Kuzma pick-and-roll, then turns to close out on his man (KCP) … but KCP is gonzo, had already ghost cut him for an easy 2. pic.twitter.com/xWrKV2iitU9:37 AM

Stephen Noh @StephNoh Pointed out multiple times by @Nate Duncan and @John Hollinger on the alternate broadcast last night, DeMar DeRozan was absolutely cooking from midrange. Shot 9-of-14 on 2’s outside of the paint. 🚶‍♂️🪣 pic.twitter.com/5kZT0ExVGF9:30 AM

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s 120-111 loss to Nuggets. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. No fight this time, or fight from the Heat.
2. Also, no Butler or Herro.
3. Adebayo comes on (too) late.
4. Lowry hits milestone; Robinson struggles.
5. Strus compensates from three. – 9:14 AM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat Heat’s Duncan Robinson no longer at home at 3-point line, and that’s an emerging concern. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… Kyle Lowry, “Maybe we kind of just let him play decoy for a little bit and get him some shots, the easier ones.” – 9:09 AM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 Bam Adebayo is currently scoring 0.99 PPP as the roll man this season
He was at 1.32 PPP last season on slightly less frequency
He’s getting so many on-ball and mid-post touches, but really felt that number would skyrocket even more with Lowry
Get back to the base – 9:02 AM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif Serge Ibaka, Valanciunas’ former teammate, said he wasn’t surprised by the shooting. pic.twitter.com/scvrdtPC3p1:17 AM

Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson Serge Ibaka on his former Toronto teammate Jonas Valanciunas’s developed shooting prowess: “Not surprised.” Notes he’s been working hard on it for a while. – 1:16 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Serge Ibaka, former Raptors teammate of Jonas Valanciunas: “He’s been working on his shot for a long time.” – 1:16 AM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif The Clippers will lose for a fifth time in the last seven games after this one against New Orleans, where they truly never threatened one of the league’s worst road teams despite shooting 53% and 38% from 3.
PG: 27 points
Reggie: 19 points
Ibaka: 13 points – 12:37 AM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif End of the 3Q: Pelicans 90, Clippers 78
Reggie Jackson with 19 points, PG with 17, Ibaka with 13 and Bledsoe with 10. Valanciunas only four points in the third quarter. – 12:09 AM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson The Clippers have a floor-spacing big too, of course: Ibaka is 3 for 3 from 3 today — 13 points in 15 minutes on 5-for-6 shooting. – 12:00 AM
