Coup’s Takeaways: Bucks Run Away With The First Game After All-Star As Love, Zeller Debut

1 month ago NBA.com

Miami couldn’t get any threes to fall and the Bucks rarely looked uncomfortable. The lead quickly stretched out to 20 and hung around there for most of the third with not much of note really happening. Miami wasn’t the only team with a rough outing coming out of All-Star break, but a 128-99 loss is a 128-99 loss whichever way you slice it. It didn’t take long for Love (eight rebounds, four assists, no points) to join the starting lineup. It’s a natural fit putting a big who can shoot and rebound next to Adebayo, and Love’s pick-and-pop game is a strong accompaniment to any of Miami’s ballhandlers.

Orlando Magic at New York Knicks: Game Preview

The Magic (0-3) will look to change that narrative on Monday when they visit the New York Knicks (1-1) at 7:30 p.m. “We have to understand the early parts of the game impact the later parts of the game,” said Magic Head Coach Jamahl Mosley. (For example), maybe an early turnover impacts (the game) later.”While they’ve yet to accrue a victory, Orlando has steadily improved. After live-ball turnovers, fouls, and rebounding plagued the Magic in their first two games, Orlando not only responded, but did so against the reigning Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics. So, the areas of growth.”Those areas of focus will once again be a priority against the Knicks.

Jazz, Nuggets Meet in Rematch of Improbable Season Opener

The Utah Jazz pulled off what seemed like a stunning victory over the favored Denver Nuggets when the two teams squared off in their season opener on Oct. 19. Since that stunning 123-102 victory, during which Collin Sexton led seven Jazz players in double figures with 20 points, Utah has gone on to win three of their next four. The Nuggets looked less confused against the winless Los Angeles Lakers during a 110-99 win Wednesday night in Denver. Lauri Markkanen continued to be a force for Utah after being traded to the Jazz from Cleveland in the offseason. Markkanen, or "The Finnisher" as the Jazz are playfully calling their standout player from Finland, scored 24 points with nine rebounds.

Coup’s Notebook Vol. 29: Tyler Herro And Bam Adebayo Spur An Offensive Change And More From The First Week Of The Season

The action, with Robinson or Strus flying around Adebayo once, twice or even three times, was a staple of the offense. But the flashes have been there, with Herro and Adebayo at the center of those bursts of light. And so in the first quarter, there it was, Herro the threat, Adebayo getting his Draymond Green on. Toronto switches plenty, too, and within the switch there are still those moments of two-on-one for Adebayo to slip and Herro to identify. If Miami is right about how Herro is going to be treated this season, they’ll eventually want to see it much more.

Coup’s Takeaways: Adebayo Returns But Cavaliers Ride Second-Quarter Run To Comfortable Victory

Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland combined for 38 points on 24 shots and Cedi Osman scored 18 off the bench as Cleveland finished with an Offensive Rating of 121.5 (to Miami’s 93.5). For as much as we expect the HEAT to always be competitive, even fully healthy teams have nights like this when just about nothing goes right. And in fairness to Cleveland, the Cavaliers are probably going to be a tough matchup for the HEAT – they were last year even before acquiring Mitchell – when both sides are full. On to another big team in Minnesota Monday night. And with Jarrett Allen adding a persistent lob threat along the baseline, the zone’s edge defenders were constantly drawn into the paint.
