Hah, what Keegan really needs is to go on an ayahuasca journey through consciousness. I heard about it on every other podcast...

Yes, we beat the Jazz handily when we were at full strength, my sense of doom is about our short term-prospects, not season aspirations

It doesn't bode well when it takes a heroic effort to beat the Utah Jazz

This is a game to break out our G-leaguers

I think Fox will need to score 80 for us to win this one

The young superteam era

+1

And that's why it's important to not blow challenges

There are 462 possible unique combinations of 5 players from 11. Maybe we'll end up seeing all of them tonight

Ah, now the short kings lineup...

HAHAHAHA SWAT!

Len seems to have an extra bounce in his step today.

Nobody had a right to expect good boxing from Tyson-Paul, the fight was only about the desire to see two terrible people hurt each other. Anybody watching got what they deserved.

The character seems intentionally off-putting. Guess we're going to have a heel mascot storyline

I think that "big man" still has value as a label to categorize players, even as PF (and SG) have disappeared. And it's tough to guard a big with anybody other than another big.

Dirk was certainly a harbinger of the future when he entered the league, but he became a fairly traditional power forward after his first few years. I think that NBA coaches of the time kinda broke him. I think it's an interesting what-if, if the Mavericks decided to build around his perimeter...

There would be a split; I think some, if they had modern coaching growing up, would probably become more like the big wings of today, (Giannis, Lebron, and KD). C-Webb would probably fit into that bucket

I’m talking about guys like Bam, Jokic, Embiid, and Domas. Guys that make Slim’s BMoTN thread Most centers from the 80s, 90s and 00s were just there to crash the boards and stand in front of Shaq. It’s why Duncan rejected the center label, it wasn’t a skill position. Now, centers are...

For the Kings, 2015 was the inflection point. Shooting performances that bad have almost never happened after that year, and they happen somewhat commonly before that year. Seems like that's the point where teams stop trying to use the 3 as a bailout, and start turning it into the primary goal...

Big men of today are so much more skilled than in of the era of the PF. (~2000 C.E.) By the standard of that era, Alex Len would be a finesse guy. PFs made sense as a position in an era where teams needed to play 2 bigs (to soak up fouls guarding Shaq) In a 1 big man era, if your C can create...
