Because they're finally using Bjelica the way he should've been used all along.

Somebody else noticed:

Are the Kings for real???? You know what, I’m going to go start a thread on that topic. Standby......

Here's an amazing stat:

(Yeah, yeah, I know - it's inflated because the Kings (like the Warriors) have played 9 games, but still, who'd'a thunk it last year?)

 

[Eastoff]

The blazers have had 5+ players score double digitsf in all games except against Miami and Houston.

 

[Strenuus]

He can get both, he just never tries to get a triple double.

Oh I know. I just know that for him as a point guard that assists really wasn't his issue on the trip dub if he was trying.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love that the Lakers are finding out that this is the Western Conference and just having LeBron isn't enough to elevate a shitty roster. He can carry in the East, but out West it takes more than one Superstar player to get into the playoffs.

What happened to OKC?

 

[Boob-No-More]

What happened to OKC?

Hey now, they've won 3 in a row (over 1-6 PHO, 4-4 LAC and 4-5 CHO).

So what if they are last in the league in 3FG% at .265. That's not too bad - for 1981.

They are currently on pace to have the worst team 3FG% of the current millennium. The last time a team shot this poorly from 3-point range was the 1998-99 Philadelphia 76ers.

KLove.....talk about injury prone. It is just one thing after another. This time surgery on his big toe...

Same with Anthony Davis. It’s always something.

Cavs should have traded him when they had the chance.

Anyone who can shoot would "look good in a Lakers uniform".

Wiz getting destroyed by OKC.

How did we lose to those guys?

Everybody has bad games.

In before HCP's "I guess you have the 'Around the NBA' thread on ignore, huh, FAMS?" post...

(and for the record, I think it was because we brain-farted a bit down the stretch and Morris went unconscious in the 4th/OT.)

They scored more points than us (or one more).

That determines the final outcome. For a long-time poster, you don’t know how this works?

 

[Titan]

IDK? Also if you look at it a little differently, the Wizards are winless in regulation.

 

[Driew]

Beal/wall matchup really well against cj/dame.

 

[Eastoff]

Beal/wall matchup really well against cj/dame.

Yeah, Damian and CJ struggle against two way players.

 

[Scalma]

I’m at a bar so not paying attention too much but butler out here balling on golden stage. And he plays so unselfish despite what his attitude might be. Is he a blazer yet

Wiz are about to blow up their team

We complain about our guards especially CJ all the time, and honestly ours guards are way better than theres are, I dont care if we lost to them or not, wouldnt trade dame and cj straight up for beal and wall..:

Otto Porter Jr. come on down!

John Wall is out here taking credit for teammates making a shot because he made the pass, saying "that's me". Unselfish play, but a selfish attitude that's not conductive to winning basketball.

If Butler would stay, I'd do it. He just won't stay. I'd rather go after an Otto Porter Jr. (someone who's better at playing without the ball, a better shooter, a good defender in his own right, a better locker room presence, and someone who can't just bolt after a year).

 

[Hoopguru]

Otto Porter Jr. come on down!

Id take Kelly O too.

 

[calvin natt]

I don’t want any Wizards. Gutless, heartless, blaming others, it’s a disaster in DC.

 

[BonesJones]

They'll probably keep him since hes younger and won't make as much as Porter after this year.

 

[BonesJones]

I don't think that's Otto Porter's fault at all. I think they're not utilizing him enough and he's getting frustrated because they've pigeon-holed him and stunted his development. I think that's exacerbated by the attitude their backcourt brings. I'd love Otto Porter Jr. in a Blazer uniform.

I also think Wall and Beal are so freaking selfish, complaining that other guys want shots while they’re shooting a bunch of ineffecient garbage. Weve heard Moe complain about attempts once but we never heard CJ and Dame complain about it.
Kelly O or Otto would be good, if you have a shooter like Otto maybe you should feed him and let him get into a rhythm.

Is it me or is he freezing out Towns? Repeatedly ignoring KAT open to pass to others or dribble himself
