When you aren't a good team, you should be playing your young guys to see what they can do. Instead, this team seems eager to play veterans who aren't good enough to matter and calling it a day.

I hate being proven right about this team and this management in the worst possible ways over and over again. I understand that the franchise has to put butts in the seat and wants to make the city proud (and admit that I don't care about either of those things) but there are so many blatant...

He's good at overpaying for a mediocre team. He's good at acquiring castoffs from other teams that have good size as wings but can't shoot straight. He's good at getting a bargain deal on Avdija. He's good at not ever really starting a rebuild. He's good at giving away second rounders. He's good...

The dude is the starting center on a .600 team. Leading the Lakers in rebounding. Shooting .675 from the field. While a contract hit for the Lakers of about a quarter of Holiday and Grant get from the Blazers, and less than Lillard and Robert Williams and Thybulle. I was never a big fan (not...

Shedeur Sanders was named to the Rising Stars game, and Yang made the Pro Bowl, too. Synergy, baby.

I loved the pick and still am excited about him long term, but his post-high school career has left a lot to be desired in terms of staying healthy and rounding out his game. There's the bigger picture of this entire shitshow of an organization that's spending so much money on injury-prone...

It is definitely a matter of expectations and perspective. The team was expected to win, what, 32-36 games this year by ESPN and Vegas, while they are currently on pace for a 38 win season... so a bit above expected. Of course, if the team wins 20% of its games the rest of the way, it will end...

With all of the amazing all-stars and big winners at the NBA level this roster has, they should absolutely have the call about who their coach is!

Borkjen lost a bet.

I think that's an apt description of his time as the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers. More seriously: it sucks for him. It sucks for the Blazers. I hope none of it is true, although if the government has decided to go after him for something that's not true after years of investigation...

Sharpe will shoot better. Grant will shoot worse. The team gave great effort tonight and I suspect this is the level the team will play at this year, assuming reasonable health: just not good enough for the playoffs.

I don't feel bad for rapists who died five years ago just because they played basketball.

To be fair, helicopter crashes are tough to bounce back from.

Yeah... I dunno. There aren't a lot that jump out at me. Maybe New Orleans and Washington? And in terms of the plan, I think it's been trying to split the baby: build a younger core while being competitive on the floor. I think that's an impossible strategy because we're rebuilding against...
