Indiana is now 2-14. I wonder is any team that has made it to the NBA finals has ever started the next season as bad as 2-14. I'd imagine not

Yeah with Haliburton out for the season with the Achilles and letting Turner walk in free agency, I didn't expect them to be very good this season. I wonder if they'll be looking to trade Siakam at the deadline.

They are tanking. Haliburton is out for the season. They know that and they are going to get a very high draft pick. Go look at some of the losses. No way they are trying to win.

I was checking the boxscores last night and saw that the Jazz were way up on OKC. Now I see OKC won by 32 points! 8 players in double figures. SGA played the most minutes - 30. They really are ridiculous. Have they solved basketball?

Can't believe their one loss is to the Blazers. Hope they're not too pissed on Sunday...

Same Boxscore, Cody Williams played 20 minutes and managed zero points and was -33. Ouch. And with his brother watching, too.

Pelicans have realized how to get Queen and Zion on the floor at the same time: play Queen at point guard! 11 assists and some of them were pretty flashy. He really is the new Hot Plate.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Annoyingly, Reed Shepherd seems not to be a bust. As if the Rockets needed any more luck.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Anyone remember Spencer Jones playing for us in 2024 Summer League? Because he's playing for the Nuggets, and if Aaron Gordon misses time, he'll get significant minutes.

 

[SwissBlazer]

@THE HCP Hiw is the Westbrook experiment in Sacramento going? Last time I checked it started pretty well.

 

[wizenheimer]

apparently, after this, his 21st season Chris Paul will retire

CP3 will retire at end of the season, sources say

Chris Paul will retire at the end of the season, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer is in his 21st NBA season.

It's so annoying that we passed on him and Coward. Queen is an absolute baller and always was.

Agreed. I was pumped with the selection of Coward and then shocked when we traded him almost immediately. I’ll wait to see how Yang does.

Me with my 8-year-old tonight:

"Hey dad, why were all of Jordan's best dunks against the Blazers?"

"It's because Drexler didn't play any defense, son."

I like the implication that Klay would have been a tough guy on the Warriors but he was being held back by something

 

[Cugel]

I bet Klay is just fine: a sure HOFer, rings, and one of the greatest shooters ever. Ja should be so lucky to have 1/10 the cred of Klay. Fuck MEM. Worse than POR.

Just saw Aaron Gordon out 4-6 weeks with a hammy injury. Who will be back first him or Scoot?

he's a big loss for Denver. Nobody else on the team can do what he does

Depends on the severity of his injury. Did he tear it or just strain? Also sounds like it is a re-occurring injury/re injury for Gordon.

* Jokic had THREE game stretch with 39 assists and 4 turnovers....a 9.75 assist/turnover ratio

That's the problem with old people, they don't let anything go.

I hate okc

Every time I watch OKC I feel like they should be the Seattle Sonics. That’s why I don’t like them.

Agreed. I miss having the Sonics close by and their move was a disaster. On top of that, they have made the smartest of moves and have set themselves up for seemingly forever. I have never enjoyed dynasties and it feels like we’re about to see one.
