Will Hardy (35) and Mark Daigneault (38) are 2 of the 3 youngest coaches (Joe Mazzula) and arguably are doing the best coaching this season.

the security detail looking around ... "are we gonna get fired for this ??" The jumbo sized bouncer casually strolling towards the disrupted area, showed about as much hustle as the Lakers bench players.
 
good game in LAC. The Thunder down a couple baskets at the half.

huge 30-8 run by Durant & the gang in final 8m. The Kings could not contain the Suns.
 
Nuggets had a 30% shooting 17 point 4th quarter. Embiid and the Sixers won the MVP faceoff.

Must be really serious. NBA subreddit said heart attack. Can't imagine this kinda stuff happening with the team all in attendance.

I am not sure I have seen that before. As you alluded to, he must be on his deathbed. I assume Kerr requested it to be
postponed.

The story I read was it was at a private team dinner. That seems tough for all involved.
 
Toronto offered Siakam 3-years/$125MM and he turned them down, reportedly. Rumour mill stated that no teams were willing to give up prospects for Siakam due to his expiring deal. Looks like this was the best offer, coupled with the Raptors FO being a little kind to Siakam sending him to a good fit. Should've traded him last season when his value was higher.

If the season ended today I think the picks would be 18th and 27th, in what has repeatedly been called a weak class. The third pick (2026) will be of similar value if they manage to re-sign Siakam. Seems like they will.

Brown has a team opt-out next season for $23MM. Probably valuable as an expiring if Toronto wants to pick it up.

Nwora- expiring. Will get a half-season to gauge him and see if he's worth retaining.

Lewis- last year of rookie deal. Same as Nwora. Not sure if he's the kind of guy to get a second contract.

Feeling whelmed by this deal.

Reminds me of the CJ deal, only with Brown as the cult fan fave instead of Josh Hart.
 
Pistons trying to keep pace with T-Wolves, back n' forth high scoring 1st qtr.
 
No Giannis tonight and the Bucks had only scored 2 points over halfway through the first quarter against the Cavs who had 22 points at the time.

Nothing is falling for the Bucks and the Cavs are shooting very well. Bucks have missed like 4 layups. No question they miss Giannis.
At the end of the 1st Dame picked up the inbound with 4 seconds on the clock. The entire Cavs team met him at half court to keep him from taking that shot.
 
I’m shocked how RJ has been playing. SHOCKED. I’m surprised being home has changed his confidence. If I’m Toronto, I’d trade Bruce Brown for Wiggins + 2 2nds (including their ‘29 unprotected). If Wiggins gets a boost of confidence and plays like the second best player on a championship team again, it’ll be like Toronto never even missed a beat.

Brook Lopez has lost a step. He is getting flat out owned in the paint Way too slow.
