If the NBA was officiated straight up like a normal basketball game, Davion's defense would be infallible. He's really incredible in his research and execution. Unfortunately with all the push offs, illegal screens, and superstar calls that characterize NBA basketball, he's merely situationally...

Even when healthy Zion Williamson would not help our defense. History tells us that stacking a bunch of big-time scorers together ultimately leads to diminishing returns. But more importantly, I can't imagine anyone is looking at the state of the New Orleans Pelicans right now and saying to...

In any case, going out and getting expensive 32 year old role players is short-term thinking in my opinion and I don't like it. With Fox, Monk, Ellis, Carter, Murray, DeRozan, Sabonis, and I. Jones we already have a solid rotation which is affordable and has room to grow. Keon Ellis, Colby...

I'm not claiming to be any kind of authority on the salary cap so I don't know when our tax apron restrictions expire, but for the 23-24 season we could only sign minimum contracts. The salary cap will go up next season but only by 10% and a lot of our guys are getting raises so I'm anticipating...

That is pretty much the situation. I still take comfort that many of those West contenders we're trailing have significant injury risks tied to aging core players. If we can be patient enough to wait out the GSW, Lakers, Suns, and Clippers fading playoff windows we'll find ourselves at our peak...

Hard pass for me. NetRtg says we've been the 12th best team in the NBA so far this season. The record and standings don't currently reflect that but this isn't a "blow it up" situation in my mind.

Teams are only getting stingy out of necessity... Because the new CBA forces their hand. You can bet at least one team will find enough creative accounting methods to offer DFS a decent contract. Nance Jr. perhaps not but I wouldn't rule it out either. Unless these guys want to re-sign for the...

I almost brought this up too but knew better than to verbalize it. And also knew that this is a dumb superstition and doesn't change anything. And yet I decided better safe than sorry. :)

Some of this is a matter of perspective. There are 15 players on the roster... not all of them are going to play every game. Fox and Murray leading the league in minutes played does indicate a lack of trust in the bench unit to a certain extent but as to guys getting randomly "benched", I don't...

The only significant call in particular that I had an issue with was the free throws Jokic got when Fox was switched onto him midway through the 4th. Jokic shoved Fox back a couple times and initiated all of the contact (as he had been all night) and got the MVP call there which is lame in any...

The execution in the last 5 minutes was not great. But I think when you lose the game by 1 pt and lose the first quarter by 20 points, you have to consider the scope of the whole game not just the last 5 minutes. And my point about holding their heads high is that I think for a solid 2 and a...

This is statistically almost impossible. I don't think the Kings let off the gas on defense either, it was just like Steph's 50 pt game two years ago to close out game 7. A perfect storm of everything going the other team's way.

I never used those words. One shot bounces different and this is the win of the season so far. It didn't and now we're going to spend 5 minutes dumping on people? Come on man. That's just stupid. But okay... If we must, how about instead of talking about the last play we talk about the no calls...

That open 10 footer popped in and out. And DeMar had the dunk to give the Kings the lead two plays before. The Kings played well enough to win. Just didn't get the bounces when they needed them. This is a loss you hold your head high after though. These guys balled out tonight. All of them.

I swear we're the unluckiest damn team in the world.

Don't know what else the Kings can do there. Domas can't leave Joker and the dude is so huge it takes forever to run around his screens.

DE-FENSE! No fouls!

Fox is a beast. Omg!

Domas!!

Calling that foul on Fox for Joker bulldogging him after all the crap no calls on the other end is ridiculous.
