Exclusive Around the NBA: January, 2026! HAPPY NEW YEAR! (2 Viewers)

Good for Anfernee. Like Zach Randolph, maybe it'll take bouncing around the league to get him to really step up his game.

But Anfernee hasn’t bounced around the league.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good for Ant. We know that when he heats up he is very Dame like. 6th man role really seems to suit him.

He should be starting. Pritchard was much better as a sixth man.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's funny remembering how many here didn't want Anthony Black in an Anfernee trade. Black might be the Magic's best player this season. We would have loved to get this guy back for Anfernee.

Huh? Black is very inconsistent and is averaging 15.8 ppg. He’s not the best player on any team. And I’d rather have Jrue.

I don't remember anyone hating on Black, but there was never any chance of getting him for Anfernee (alas).

Black's development does suggest that Suggs might be available, though. I wouldn't want to give up too much for him because he's very rarely healthy, but when he is, he's a game-changing defender.

Good or bad? I really am trying to learn when you’re supposed to hate or acknowledge greatness. Be patient with me.

Bunch of those guys look really good. Melo, Camby, Ray Felton, Baron Davis all look like they good care of themselves. Obviously Melo only just quit playing a few years ago.

ONCE AGAIN I WILL TELL YOU stats are ethically neutral. It's why and how you got them that determines if you as a player are ethical.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Bird is who I hope Deni grows up to be

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah with Larry you had to think about how you could stop him but with MJ there wasn't much to think about because you already knew he was going to torch you.

[KingSpeed]

They played better this year when he was out.

 

[BigGameDamian]

This Knicks game is embarrassing!

 

[KingSpeed]

This Knicks game is embarrassing!

Wow. They were healthy and amazing against us. Edit: They were healthy today.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Huh? Black is very inconsistent and is averaging 15.8 ppg. He’s not the best player on any team. And I’d rather have Jrue.

I'm happy we got Jrue but Black has been nice.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm happy we got Jrue but Black has been nice.

I agree with that

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The Traveling Wilburys told me that every day is just one day.

So every year is just one year.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I'm watching our second game of the season against the Warriors and like, we win that by 20, but it's very obvious we are a lot more focused now than we were in October. We run the offense and defense better now than we did then. We are a better team now than we were then. And that is kind of remarkable to see.

(unfortunately, watching Yang get his first big shift of the game... he's just as uncoordinated as my oldest kid, who is 12. I wonder now if Yang's also secretly a really good artist and has to do basketball because he's so tall)

(also holy shit Blake Wesley is fast... reminds me of Crash Wallace)

 

[BlazerBeav]

Jimmy Butler just went down with what looked like a potentially serious knee injury. The Warriors may be in some trouble with us on their heels.

Yeah 5-8 are all vulnerable... we should be shooting for 5th place

 

[THE HCP]

Whoa

another warriors flash tank incoming; it's their way.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah 5-8 are all vulnerable... we should be shooting for 5th place

5th place is probably 52 wins. We’d have to go 30-8 the rest of the way.

 

[Cugel]

This just in from Coach Kerr:
Kuminga starts next game.

 

[THE HCP]

I love me some Bald Wemby

 

[PCmor7]

5th place is probably 52 wins. We’d have to go 30-8 the rest of the way.

You're saying we should be thinking of third place?

 

[blazerfan11]

145 points scored by Toronto is the most they've scored this season, against Golden State tonight in their 145-127 victory.
59% from the field, 62% on three-pointers. Toronto led the entire game, except for the 0-0 tie for the first 19 seconds of the first quarter.

 

[riverman]

Radio guys mentioned before the Kings game that the Blazers had the 6th rated defense and 12th rated offense in the league in 2026! That's trending in the right direction
