No player in NBA history who is 6-foot-8 or shorter has ever averaged at least 14 points, nine rebounds, five assists and a steal while shooting above 50 percent from the field and 35 percent from 3. Hart is on pace to do that, and he’s only 6-foot-4. Read that again. The only players to ever record those minimums over a whole season are Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokić and Larry Bird. Hart is on the doorstep of elite company. “I just want to find a way to impact the game,” Hart said after recording his fifth triple-double of the season. “That’s the biggest thing for me. I don’t get plays called. I’m not needed to go out there and score 20, 25 points per game. I have to find ways to impact the game, and my ways of impacting the game are rebounding … I need to be better defensively … and making those energy plays.”

It's kind of amazing that the Knicks were able to acquire Brunson, Hart, Anunoby, Bridges and Towns. Where did they find the assets?

they used cap-space for Brunson. Kind of snookered the Blazers but Hart was very likely going to walk. They traded some pretty good players (RJ Barrett; Quickley; Randle, DiVencenzo) and all their available 1st's for the rest.

I’m surprised Barkley never did it. But I guess he didn’t hit the 3 ball at that high of a clip.
 
The Thunder are just on a different level defensively. Best defensive team I’ve seen in a long time.

Yeah he is doing what a bunch of people felt was what needed to happen.
If he got the #1 pick two years ago and then managed another one this year people would not be questioning him at all. Heck if he just hits this year he will be called a genius.
 
The Kings are 8-2 after firing Mike Brown , and going with Doug Christie as coach.

Sacramento was 13-18, now 21-20 after beating Houston.

Charles Barkley says it's all on the players.

 
Defending Cronin are you fucking kidding me -- are you out of your damn mind -- tell me 3 -- legit GOOD things he has done since the summer of the Dame trade ??

Sorry for being rude but after watching that Clipper game my patience is so low and I am not in any mood to be nice if I see complete bull being spouted about.

Young guys played a good bit and we lost.

That's all I care about right now.
 
This list of the 50 largest victory margins in NBA history doesn't list each rank. So I ranked them for you, you lucky dogs.

Blazer surplus..date..rank among 50 biggest surpluses in NBA history
You know. Why did I even type that heading.
 
I was checking Wednesday's game, Clippers over Nets by 59. Fortunately, our top 3 records survived unscathed. But the others sadly dropped a notch.

They had been 17 tie and 37 tie.

Who hurt you?
 
Pelicans and Hornets wins. The race becomes tighter at the bottom.
