I feel like this pertains to the Kings. This is why Phoenix isn't making any moves this season or possibly at all:


The organization has no interest in a full-scale "blowing up" of the team, because its research shows that process can take from eight to 10 years and it has no interest in waiting that long.


Scientific research! That makes the Kings about two years until the team is competitive again.

Funny post by a bobcats fan

TORONTO—In a shocking announcement on Friday night, the Charlotte Bobcats declared to the world that they had won a basketball game. In a chaotic press conference, spokesman Kemba Walker stated, “The Charlotte Bobcats have now amassed enough knowledge and technology to acquire a basketball win. What’s more, our goal is to acquire multiple basketball wins within a period of 60-70 days. We are now fully operational.” Though there were few eyewitnesses willing to come forward, grainy footage was released showing Mr. Walker, along with several prominent leaders of the “Bobcats”—a radical splinter group of the organization known as the “NBA”—that appeared to back up his claim. Walker denied accusations that his organization had committed a hostile act by procuring this win, claiming, “We are merely taking the necessary steps for our organization’s future security.” Asked by one reporter what the next step might be, Walker would only say that “all options are on the table.”

Kawhi Leonard had a great game though. 24/10 5 steals and a block. Only bringing it up because I wanted him instead of Jimmermania, and each passing game I feel more embittered towards GP for miffing the draft. But hey, its not like we NEEDED any help here at the 3. Oh wait...

Some guy named "Jeremy" wins slam dunk contest:) Nice jam with each hand putting two balls through but otherwise another rather boring contest compared to years past with lots of "real superstar dunkers."

Anybody like the AS weekend as much as i did?

It wasn't as spectacular as the past ones, but it was different. Different talents, different players, and the AS game wasnt bad. The egos made it fun to watch.

I don't think hoopsie wants to watch it. Probably because it's been so bad for years now. And this year followed suit. Although today's game got exciting late, it was still just another lackluster all star weekend.

You are correct. To me, it's a snoozefest...the entire weekend.

The all-star game used to be a big deal 20 years ago or so, before basketball took off in popularity in the mid-80s. It was one of the very few nationally televised games before the playoffs. Now, with basketball on TV somewhere every night of the week and League Pass making basketball games replayable on-demand, the All-Star game just reeks of pointlessness. I saw the Chris Paul off-the glass alley-oop to Durant and just shrugged. All flash and highlight, signifying nothing.

There's a olt of truth to that. I haven't watched any oftti in years unless a King was invovled, which has been rarely. Last thing I paisd attention to was the three point contest, and not even that in half a decade at least. Last time I was excited about the events/weekend was probably the 90s sometime. At this point any good hard fought regular season game is more exciting than anything going on the whole weekend.

I felt that these were more interesting facts from that article:

* Last season, 11 teams averaged at least 100 points. This season, only three — the Nuggets, Heat and Thunder — are in triple-digits.

* Last season, the Bucks were the lowest-scoring team at 91.7 points per game. This season, five teams are under 90.

* Last season, 22 teams shot better than 45 percent. This season? Twelve.

* Last season, the Bucks shot a league-worst 43 percent. This season, eight teams are even worse.

We did a game (three) weeks ago in L.A., the Nuggets and the Clippers. The Clippers came out and scored 31 points in the first quarter, they looked great. But it was their fourth in five nights, they were exhausted, and they completely hit the wall. And Denver just blew them out. There was no question that was a so-called lockout loss

I agree that the compressed schedule with lack of practice time along with awkward off season attributed to this. That's why this season I put my angst aside and am giving the Kings a break this year. I just wish more people would as well.

Here's another number that I looked up:

Top 40 qualified scoring leaders last year, shooting under the league average of 44%:

Four

This season (at the midway point)

16


With players like Danny Granger shooting 38%, five percent lower than his career average. Even Tony Parker is shooting his lowest average in years at 45 percent.
