Exclusive Around the NBA: January, 2026! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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

Kerr looks bad. Look what happens when you actually play him.

 

[KingSpeed]

Now we get to see what Curry looks like when not surrounded by All Stars.

Shams Charania said the relationship was "beyond repair". I like it when this guy looks like the fraud he is.

Warriors were foundering last season when they acquired Butler. Calculated risk since he had been a troublemaker but he thrived.
I was sitting close to the front when Bonzi Wells tore his ACL in a game. On the floor pounding the floor with a fist and screamed. Fuck awful.
Curry and Green contracts expire next year. Kerr this year and you know he will be sought after.

I love me some Bald Wemby

Nice Jinx, bro

Kerr looks childish. Didn't want to spend the time developing a talent like Kuminga. He was much more deserving than some of the other guys getting playing time. I hope he gets free of Kerr and prospers. Hopefully in Portland.

Nice Jinx, bro

Bro was all perimeter chucking in the clutch last night, allowing the Rockets to take the win.

Most often when coaches are trying to win, even if unsuccessful, they are going to put far more trust in guys who know how to play within their system. Podz plays well within their system, which is why he was able to get over 25 mpg as a rookie on a 46 win team. Kuminga reminds me slightly of like a Tyrus Thomas. Outside perspective, you see flashes and think well in our system, well with our coach, etc. without seeing the're better served playing pickup ball.

That being said, I'd still take a flyer because if it's a Grant deal, it's a huge financial benefit for us.

With the Knicks looking like shite and KAT getting the finger apparently pointed at him - and the Bucks willing to do anything to keep Giannis around.

What about:

KAT, McBride and Kolek for Turner, Kuzma and Portis?

(I doubt that will work, but these are 2 teams that seem desperate to do something, so...)

Nice story about Drew Timme, who had his breakout game against us. He was undrafted and Lakers are his 4th stop. Lebron really appreciates his intelligence. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2026/jan/21/former-gonzaga-standout-drew-timme-has-fan-in-lake/

Kuminga goes down

Warriors' Kuminga leaves early after injuring ankle, knee

The Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga had a strong start Thursday against the Mavs before his night was cut short because of a twisted ankle and knee hyperextension at the end of the first half.

Shades of Blazers 2007-08 season

Shades of Blazers 2007-08 season

That was a good season. 13 game win streak. Finished .500. You might be thinking of 2009-10 season when nearly everybody including the coach got hurt. Dante Cunningham had to start at center. Juwan Howard was one of our best active players.

Thank you, yeah

 

[wizenheimer]

it's probably just recency bias but it sure seems there have been a lot more injuries than normal this season

calf injuries are the new normal

I think part of it is that teams are more cautious holding out guys for small niggles that they would have normally played through in prior years.

A crazy storm his hitting the east coast this weekend. I wonder if it will impact our game vs the Celtics on Monday. I hope not.

Yeah, it could be a problem. Maybe not getting into Boston, but leaving that night on a back-to-back with the Wiz on Tuesday.
Idealy they play the game, but the fans don't show up

Yeah, we’re going to get walloped (I live on the coast north of Boston). Already got an email for state employees not to report to offices on Monday as we dig out.

 

[andalusian]

An, that pistons offense is ugly

Any chance I can crash with you if we get stuck FAMS!?!

Haha, always. Come on up to Gloucester!

 

[wizenheimer]

Indiana actually beat OKC, in OKC

but OKC was without

Jalen Williams
Hartenstein
Jaylin Williams
Caruso
Ajay Mitchell
Wiggins

I wonder if OKC held some players out for minor aches because they thought they could still be Indy without those players

 

[THE HCP]

Of course they did

 

[Cugel]

you dont know how long I have waited to hear you say those words...
