The last 4 weeks have been rough for the Jazz.

4-8 record
-58 point differential
25th in defense

Only the Pistons and Wolves have more losses in that span. pic.twitter.com/W9Yixb4Jiq

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I really wonder why I haven't changed the channel on this game. Maybe the turquoise uniforms are mesmerizing me?

I mean, I may be biased, but the original Vancouver Grizzlies fit was the greatest basketball fit of all time.

I found Sergio Rodriguez' doppelganger, he plays for the Raptors.

The amazing thing about Zion isn't that he's like a young Charles Barkley, it's that he's as fat as current old guy Chuck but jumps like he's the young one.

Kings first. Always.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Kings first. Always.

Love fades. Hate endures.

 

[Tetsujin]

One gets the feeling the Lakers would be running away with this game if anyone other than Lebron or AD was anything more than offensively incompetent.

 

[Tetsujin]

It is amazing how good the Lakers have been considering how pretty much everything about them aside from Lebron and AD sucks.

Zion walks like he just got sent to his room.

^ I can already see it now in the near future, Zion's walk will be a new dance or meme

Charlotte's Malik Monk has been suspended for violating anti-drug program and will continue until he is determined to be in compliance.

Somehow the Hornets are going to get even worse.

The Lakers have ruled LeBron James (left groin) out for Thursday's game at Golden State

Also: Steve Kerr told reporters today Stephen Curry may need more scrimmage time to be cleared, putting Sunday vs. Washington is some doubt. "I think yesterday’s report, which was news to us, is not official," Kerr said. "Nothing’s official. Steph will play when he’s ready to go"

I was joking, but it wouldn't be surprising.

We're seeing more and more instances where players or agents put out information without the club okaying it first. Seems like it would be a no-brainer to keep the coaching staff/front office in the loop, Step Curry or not.

Joel Embiid left the 76ers game against the Cavaliers for the locker room after a shoulder injury, only to return to the bench and then exit for the locker room again. Now he’s ruled out with a left shoulder sprain.

So are shoulder injuries the thing this year?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hula hoops and pet rocks had their day, why not shoulder injuries?

Or translation: "gee coach do I really have to play with these bunch of scrubs who aren't going to be around? Can't I just sit out and rehab or whatever?"

Next day ... "Steph will play when he's ready to go"

Wolves just got their revenge on Butler.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wolves just got their revenge on Butler.

And don't think that it escaped my notice that they finally beat Butler in a game where Towns didn't play. #SAWFT

Zion Williamson is averaging 29.5 points per 36 minutes. If he keeps this up, that would be the highest average of any rookie in NBA history.

The current record-holder is Wilt Chamberlain, who averaged 29.2 points per 36 minutes as a rookie: https://t.co/JNZqYQRb0J
