"They need a guy that’s just as good as Luka but a little bit better...like a Bradley Beal or Russell Westbrook."

Yeah, I don't even **** with Doncic like that, and my reaction to that statement was:

strange sequence in Brooklyn allowing Durant to clear Health and Safety protocols only to have him about 19 minutes and now he is out for the remainder of the game

Harden and Irving didn't know what to do out there without Durant. Nets now 7-8 versus teams under .500

We better hurry up and play them before we get over .500

refs let Zaps pretend a ball didn’t bounce out of bounds and pass it to Luka for the dagger. Luka having a ridiculous shooting night from three despite being 27% on the season.

And you thought the Kings didn't play defense?

Warriors muff up clock management towards the end. Not that I like or dislike the Warriors one way or the other.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That reminds me, I miss the original design for Pierre. Between him, and the KCB, that was straight nightmare fuel for the children of New Orleans.

That's a funny line, but it kind of buries the lede.

Detroit has agreed to trade guard Derrick Rose to New York for Dennis Smith Jr., and a 2021 second-round pick (via Charlotte), sources tell ESPN. Rose reunites with Tom Thibodeau, who coached him in Chicago and Minnesota.

remember when people swore up and down DSJ was just as good as Fox?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

A guy playing for the same coach, three times, on three different teams, feels like it should be some kind of record.

I was watching some Arvydas Sabonis highlights this evening and was looking back at the 2000-2001 season. And we think the West is tough now?

7 teams finished with 50 wins. Seven! That Blazers team had a laundry list of well known players on it albeit most past their primes.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

For the life of me I thought that was the year the Blazers choked away the WCF but it was the year before. Go figure. GDMF Lakers.

take a look at the 2013-2014 season. even more competitive. the 9th seed won 48 games and 10th won 40.

How deflating to be 14 games over .500 and not make the playoffs

Especially when 38 wins got Atlanta into the East bracket.

Love seeing my man McBen draining those threes.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

For the record, challenging a foul call when you're up twenty, and two minutes left in the game, is super petty.

 

[kingsboi]

7 points scored in the 4th quarter by the Rockets....is that a record?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

For a fourth quarter, or any quarter? Because there was that one time, with the Kings, back in the day...

Don't bring back those memories.

 

[kingsboi]

care to enlighten me on that one time? I sure don't remember it or maybe it was before my time

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You sure you want to know? If you don't remember, it could be your brain trying to protect itself...

 

[kingsboi]

I'd like to know. my brain is constantly filled with curiosity and this is no different regardless of affiliation
