your speculation is off the mark. because you said this: Now, with a broken finger, there is nothing the training staff can do. 1) the training staff (and team doctor(s)) can look at that hand/finger daily and assess progress (or lack of same) MUCH easier in sacramento than arizona. 2) they...

i doubt that the team said, "hey marvin, why don't you go to arizona to rehab and come back when you're ready" - traditionally an injured player is in the arena in street clothes. i guess the team COULD have said, "that isn't the way we do things - stay here, see the trainers and use the...

i think it is telling that marvin didn't stay with the team, but went home to arizona to rehabilitate. then he returns and walton take a shot at papa bags, saying marvin isn't close to being in game shape. all signs now point to them trading him for whoever is willing to take on next year's...

it's called "papering the house" - gary gerold referred to there being several hundred fans in attendance on tuesday. he might have been told to shut up because he did not mention any numbers on wednesday. in fairness, "several hundred" COULD refer to 1600 (i mean, that is "several hundred"...

i don't know who is kidding themselves, but the kings are about 10-1 to make the top ten in the west. with 15 games left (starting with two at home vs. minnesota and all three still to be played with the okc tankers), still, the kings are 11 games under .500 (with 15 to play) and sitting in...

i now believe that not only will walton not be fired this season, but i actually think they will give him a chance to start next season (assuming the team is intact -if there are major trades, maybe not) looking at the pels game, he obviously did not prepare or inspire them. but then, in the...

i'd been meaning to ask this question: "In the 'old days', when players generally entered the nba in their early 20's (21-23), it was generally agreed that a player's 'prime' was age 27-32 (or 26-31). But today, when the very best players enter the league at 19, what IS a player's 'prime' age?".

i assume you mean 31-FORTY one (for 72 games) and my pocket says, "no - anything but that"(i have the kings to win less than 28 1/2 games). the slippage of hali actually makes it more comfortable to be in the middle of the pack. of course, it is all on "who you draft" and - every great team...

With injuries to Fultz and Carter-Williams and Cole Anthony a rookie, the Orlando Magic have just signed Frank Mason to a two-way contract. The Magic are a sinking ship (after an impressive start). There could hardly be a better opportunity for "Lil Z-Bo" To start the 2018-2019 season, Mason...

DA certainly LOOKS like he is either travelling or carrying (thanks for the link) but i guess not however, that "1 point" may be important (miami game) richaun holmes (and his mom) is trying to defy the odds - to become a starter and important cog despite second round (draft) status and two...

It's not saunders' fault that the t-wolves are in the dumpster. kat has been mostly grieving BUT they DID make a major change (russell for wiggins), so, you would think they would show something. saunders is the youngest coach in the league. philly is doing just fine. i think joerger gets...

when you think about it, assuming that DA is a franchise player, cojo is his ideal backup - mature, not a threat to take minutes from him, maybe a mentor and a decent player (at 10 mpg). for fox personally, who is a streaky shooter, nothing could be worse than someone like guy as his backup, a...

I would suggest that "you just keep trying until you find someone who clicks". And that does not mean that they are any better coach - just that all the distractions let up and there is a moment of "buy-in" that allows a coach to succeed. Sometimes, it is just "dumb luck". Malone was on his...

walton is in an interesting position. i seem to remember him signing a five year contract and i guess this is year two. he certainly needs to project "interest", so as not to be fired for cause. and he would like not to be fired right away, to to improve his market value. plus, he "settled"...

1) ok. opposing team comes out on marvin - they can't really double if everyone is spread out around the three point line. if marvin is a poor screener, let him instead in initiate from the top of the line and this allows the guards to cut and screen for one another (forwards holding behind...

this may seem simplistic, but what about trying (something/anything) to maximize what few skills this team has - playing a true "5 out" offense? there was a time in the early 90's when the warriors were good (run tmc) but not as good as better, bigger teams. so in a playoff series where the...

houston still not able to pull the trigger on a harden trade, but previously, i thought buddy and baggy was a fair package - now i think we would have to throw in some future number one picks also, and it might be trading a headache (or two) for an upset stomach, but my head hurts NOW. bonus...

37 for McCollum - and Buddy's trade value sinks below the horizon. Next we get to face the guy we didn't draft (Sabonis 28/22 tonight) because we got a better haul with Papa, Skal and Bogi... not

AND it was the fifth foul in the quarter (with nine minutes left)

midway through third quarter, Stotts challenged a foul call on Nurcic - won it (foul on important player erased). Walton says, "Wow - we can DO that?" Next time down court Walton challenges foul call on Cojo and also wins it, saving his most important player from foul trouble. Of course, you...
