Too bad we don’t get to see a full strength Blazers-Mavs matchup tonight to add to the debate about which player/team is better - Lillard/Doncic, Blazers/Mavs.

Over/Under 27.5 points for Doncic tonight?

USA Mens Basketball lost a qualifying game to Brazil 94-79 yesterday?

The article says that Charlie Brown was the USA’s 2nd highest scorer with 10 points. No wonder… That dude cant even kick a football.

I'm not sure if any player has had a major ACL injury followed by a full Achilles tear 15 months later. We know that most players never come back to what they were before an Achilles tear. And many struggle to return to form after a ACL injury. Klay might not ever be the player he was. And he'll turn 33 in less than 3 months. He doesn't have youth on his side anymore

Yeah it’s looking that way. I think he could’ve been more important than Curry at times during their championship runs. If he was knocking down his shot on that given night the other team was done.

How is deaaron fox going to deal with our zone?

If Danny Angie puts Mike Conley on the trade market how does a Fox for Conley trade package sound? Fox is a lot younger but The Kings would really benefit from having a veteran like Conley running point while Utah wants to go younger.

Sounds pretty terrible for Sacramento, and I'm not a big fox fan.
 
I’m calling upset alert on the Jazz tonight, not just because I want it

Do they want to go younger or did they want to move away from Gobert/Mitchell?
I font think UTAH has any desire to move Conley.
 
What's up with Johnny Davis? He seemed described as nba ready, and he has hardly played for Washington. It's not like Washington has amazing depth.

As soon as he filmed that Taco Time commercial, skipping out on the draft for some late night grub, I had serious doubts about him as a prospect. I don't care how much they're paying, someone has to raise their hand and ask if there isn't maybe a bad message being sent there about his focus.

They ever actually start getting that guy 20 shots a game? Watch out!

gonna be difficult with CJ on the floor doing MeJ things. He's averaging 2.4 more shots than Zion; and 2 more than Ingram. Meanwhile, Zion is averaging 1.48 points/shot; Ingram is averaging 1.31; CJ is averaging 0.97 (Valunciunas 1.40; Murphy 1.39). So far this season CJ has scored 232 points on 238 shots.

I said from the beginning that Mitchell and Conley were a bad match. Conley is playing better this year without him. Still, I don't think anyone wants to give up much for him unless there is a season-ending injury to a contender. His 24 million next year is not that attractive. I think he stays as well.

He's Damon Stoudamire.

earlier in the season he was 11 for 20 and another game 11 for 21.
Both games were in November. Both were overtime losses.

Are you trying to suggest shooting better than 50% on 20 shots is a bad thing?

Learning what its like watching a CJ team when its not your team.
All news about Zion/Dame CJ is just a glorified role player.

CJ as a person is solid, he’s a nice guy.

On the court he’s a perennial fringe all star

Thunder are getting good. SGA is a legit superstar. Giddey and Dort unique complements. Bazley and JRE are a good young pair of forwards with range. And next year they get to add Chet to the mix. And all those dudes are under 25.

Future's bright in OKC.
