And the glass is broken again....

Is it too early to talk about the play-in matchups? Right now we’d play Golden State. Think we can beat them a fourth time? To face a faltering OKC?

We shoulda drafted Flagg...

Just think if we drafted Wemby and Flagg? #DYNASTY!

It's not too early at all. It's actually time to make a decision on if they are truly going to try to win this year or not?

[Nash] on player development: "It's pay to play in the States. Capitalism is wonderful... not great for player development. In Europe, to play is free. You go to your local club, it's subsidized by that community, everyone is there long term to develop. Here it's been totally commercialized"

Charlotte scored 150 points in regulation; 9 players in double figures; you don't see that too often

I wonder if CJ wants to come back. We have a shit ton of guards, and he spent enough years playing second fiddle to Dame. I bet the Clippers would be interested. Nuggets, too. Or: the Celtics could offer to swap Anfernee for him!

CJ would be great on Knicks

Right now, we would play Memphis and then the loser of Phoenix/GS.

As for GS, we are playing them a fourth time in a couple days. A play-in matchup would be our 5th time.

I guess it's possible, now that Thibs is gone.

Cody Williams has actually been playing less-total-bust-like recently, but WOW, if that +/- is not a record, I'd like to know who beat it

They took 101 shots. 59 of them were three pointers. They made 24 of them.

Update: HE DID IT! Carved in the annals of history

These are good (except the Deni one)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Not a good list for Caleb to be on

Lebron was really upset with Paul’s remarks.

he leads in FGA too....which explains his scoring margins

right now, I'd say he's the 5th or 6th best player from the draft

only in draft slot order (and 2nd contracts):

Banchero (5-year/47M year)
Holmgren (5-year/47M year)
Sharpe (4-year/22.5M year)
Dyson Daniels (4-year/25M year)
Jalen Williams (5-year/47M year)
Jalen Duren (RFA next summer)

Sharpe still has much upside though. He could absolutely finish his career as the best player of that class.
