People who keep trying to point out how Haliburton is just Lonzo Ball, the major difference is his, not willingness, but eagerness to take the ball and make decisions (including him finding his own shots) in big moments. It's why I thought Fox would have to change the way he plays if we are to move forward more aggressively with Ty making final moment decisions.

(PS: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this current version of Lonzo Ball in the Bulls too but Ty is going to be more than that in the end, maybe not as a defensive steward like Lonzo is but he's much much more of a leader)
 
Well, Kings lucky that OKC just couldn't shoot the last 18 min or so. Tyrese another very efficient 20/10 game, albeit w/the worst +/- on the team. Very nice game by DJone - and the bench, in general.

Manageable min tonight, winnable game against Dallas tomorrow night.

Yea, Lonzo still has his patented 1 for 7 disappearing act games. No thank you
 
Oh, stop. No, not *anyone* can get those stats. Fox himself isn't averaging those non-scoring stats for a full game, much less the 27 min he's played. He's engaged. Defensively and otherwise, though he's not playing his usual offensive game. That's a good thing.
Agree to disagree. And let me rephrase it. Anyone that's considered average can get those stats. I'm not a fox hater at all. But we played the dam pelicans with half there team missing. So excuse me for not being blow away by a 4 for 17 Stat line and 6 amazing rebounds. I cant recall any of those rebounds where he took it from someone else either he's a score first pg. He needs to score efficiency.

We did? :p
 
Name 2 guys on the Thunder roster besides SGA and Dortz
And believe it or not, the Thunder were actually short-handed with some of their "better" players not available.

We made that late push, but nothing really all that inspiring about this win. They competed right at us for most of the game and didn't really get the sense we were the better team until that 4th quarter.

Remember a month or so ago when I suggested we trade for Simmons, have him sit out the year and effectively tank/play the young guys and you said we wouldn't be nearly as bad as the Pels/Thunder/Rockets? :p

I'll give you the Magic and Pistons though - they bad.

I thought so too :)

Hall of Famer
Beating a bad team with half their roster out doesn’t do anything for me except make me worry that Vivek watched and said, “SEE THIS IS A PLAY-IN TEAM! BUY MONTE BUY!”
