Reminds me of the old ECW announcer.
Fracas in Phoenix!
1/2 Joey Styles and 1/2 Chet Harper. Hum diddly dee!
I guess Portland only gets a sash of the old airport carpet because Phoenix claimed those colors?

Bev tried the Jokic on Morris move, not the same force but.

I hadn't realized it before, but going through some social media posts, the Grizzlies are kinda turning into villains of the NBA. Leading cause is Ja Morant's antics.

Funny you would say that, because that sounds like the sort of thing that would personally endear me to Morant.

In the past, it didn't bother me. But then he did it against a Kings team that is in the mix and all of a sudden, it aint so funny.
I feel you. To me, not having to look at athletes through the prism of my fandom is a good reason to continue to stay Off That Narcotic™.
all the nasty tweets I got about Bey when I suggested Bey and 5 for 4 ... and he isn't even in their plans after 15 games? lol

Bey is streaky, not always engaged and horrible on D. I tried to told y'all.
He's also spent his entire NBA career under Casey, right?
Not saying he's great but we've all seen what a huge difference a coach who holds players accountable can make. Casey took a .500 playoff team to 3 seasons of ~20 game wins. Maybe the tank was deliberate even though they were in the playoffs, but more likely he's just a bad coach.

True. Not always easy to rehabilitate a player that learned bad habits from the start though.
Will be interesting to see how his career unfolds.
Seemed like he was an early target of Monte, maybe the second name we heard after DDV. Of course that was 18 months ago and more damage has been done. It's wild Detroit is on the shiny-new toy treadmill and already dead weighting guys after a season or two.
You 100% "buy-low" on Bey if you can. Dude has still found a way to be reasonably productive in one of the worst team situations in the NBA. 6'7 wings with history of good spacing don't grow on trees. Just bet on the archetype

I probably do. I’m so luke-warm on Davion, and wings are so much more important that undersized backup PGs.
Through the season’s first four games, Kris Murray has scored 95 or more points, grabbed 30-plus rebounds, had five or fewer turnovers, shot 60% from the field and 100% from the free throw line. Per OptaSTATS, no other Division I player in the past 25 years has accomplished that feat over the course of any four-game span.
Tough thing to balance. On one hand, Davion is far and away the best defender on a team that has none. Especially his defense in crunch time has absolutely been a huge factor to a lot of our wins.
But on the other, he's clearly the 4th best guard on the team and I just don't see any path for him to start next to Fox down the line with Huerter here now. I just don't see where his minutes role is any bigger than like 21-22 MPG. And Monk has far exceeded expectations as a playmaker and has proven he can run the 2nd unit just fine. And if we're just going down the line of "potential" trade assets, Davion (Or Barnes before his recent surge) makes the most sense as a superfluous asset in a position we're stacked at to improve the rest of the team.
It's hard to imagine he wouldn't be 3/4 on the depth chart with Lyles as first guy in for Barnes or Keegan?
Curious what it takes, assume they would not want 3 years of Holmes. Feel like we might be selling low on Davion if we shipped him in exchange.
That's tough. Bey should have the better career but Davion brings something to this team that no other player on the roster can. Could potentially be a positive thing for the future but it could possibly hurt the team this year. I don't think we are on this 7 game streak if Bey was playing instead of Davion. Also the possibility that we don't start 0-4 if we have Bey as well.
I think my issue is Monk and Huerter have so quickly asserted themselves as core rotation players for the Kings moving forward while Davion has taken a step back on offense from last year. Defense is still elite, but can you justify him at 15-22 MPG over a potential starter?

No keep Davion for the Poku trade when the Thunder move Giddy somewhere not bloody Bey.

Klay doing his best KVon impression I’ve the last 10 plus games
Sabonis should definitely study this game tape for what he ought to be able to do against that defense. Also, shout out to you for posting this video, so I didn't have to pull up League Pass and actually watch a Clippers game.

Dang, one rebound away from a Deltron. IYKYK
It certainly would have been an Event of some kind.
