    hope he's OK. 75 years old might be a bit too old to be an NBA HC

    total playoff games: 2nd at 284 (behind Phil Jackson at 333)
    playoff wins: 3rd at 170 (behind Jackson 229 and Pat Riley 171)

    I hear talk of 1st round picks and how important they are. Wouldn’t those OKC picks be like the 29th or 30th pick?

    Dame would probably work a lot better with KAT...

    If Giannis has to leave the Bucks, I would probably mind the Knicks the least

    But he won't. He's a pick hoarder - plus he got burned by trading for Paul George.

    What if we're both bad. Or Boston has a down year once their in luxury tax hell and jumps like Atlanta. Certainly very possible two of those picks are high in the lottery.

    If we got a good starter in the trade it's probably worth it. Problem is Deni looks more like Roco 2.0 than an answer of any starting spot.

    I'm holding on to the hope he's just having trouble adjusting to a new team and a new system, even if it's a remedial system. His numbers are jut so bad this season it makes that all seem possible

    but it's also true this is his 5th season, and in the previous 4 seasons, he had one good season and 3 poor seasons....or at least 3 seasons that were far worse than his 'break-out' season. Was last season something of an aberration?

    I'll say again, the Blazers paid a steep price for him. Two 1st's + two 2nd's + Brogdon is a steep price. Part of the return was a 7M TPE but does anybody really believe Seattle would allow Cronin to use that TPE? Or that Cronin would if he could?

    I mean anyone that watched him during March Madness knew he'd be more than serviceable in the NBA.

    Sabonis just made a great go-ahead putback.

    Speaking of blocks, Wemby had 9 tonight. We’ll see him up close on Thursday.

    My problem was that we didn't even know what we had. Why are we trading for pieces to round out the roster when we don't even know who our best players are?

    Zach Edey played 29 minutes. Clingan's high was 14:26 until 16 minutes tonight

    is Edey in better shape than Clingan?

    Edey is averaging only 18mpg despite starting every game.

    19.7 minutes now; about 6:30 more a game than Clingan

    and, what's going to happen when Timelord is ready?

    Who knows? I like Clingan and I’ll root for him but I wanted Edey.
