Sacramento (7 seed now 8 seed) loses in Charlotte and drops to 12-15. Their next game is in Indianapolis against the Pacers, who beat the Lakers tonight.
The Suns, 1/2 game ahead of the Blazers play the Clippers tonight in LA.

The DeAndre Ayton experience felt very familiar tonight.

Size, athleticism, touch and feel for finding space in the mid range are all pretty elite.

But the lack of physicality, competitiveness, reactivity, feel/IQ defensively still has me questioning if his impact on winning will ever match his production.

 

[BonesJones]

He reminds me of KAT. I'm not sure why I might be crazy... Ok, I am crazy.

Haha. Yeah very different players offensively.

Ayton is like a souped up Nikola Vucevic to me.

Better finisher and offensive rebounder. Better mobility defensively.

Pretty interested in this Miami/Philly matchup.

One of the few times we've seen Philly starting lineup all healthy.

Miami's turnover issues and lack of a big body to disrupt Embiid will probably be tough to overcome for them, especially on the road.

 

[Blazers1977]

Truth. Lebron is a fraud.

 

[Hoopguru]

Truth. Lebron is a fraud.

Garnett should know, as its was to much for him at Minnesota. Lebron has accomplished a lot more than KG ever did.
He's the king of all floppers too. When he was young in the NBA every time a big would back down on him he would fall over himself.

 

[GDiama]

Bertans is incredible.

Umm excuse me but are you forgetting about Meyers Leonard?

 

[Dougnsalem]

Umm excuse me but are you forgetting about Meyers Leonard?

I'm still trying to.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Umm excuse me but are you forgetting about Meyers Leonard?

I noticed Leonard played twice his normal minutes; so he must have been doing something useful out there.

Miami played a lot of zone from 2nd quarter on and he's a good communicator to have on the backline.

I think he would be an even better communicator from the sideline !

I actually would swap him for Stotts

 

[DDolla]

Harden and Westbrook > Leonard and George

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

 

[Dom McBlazer]

National hero material right here.

 

[PDXFonz]

National hero material right here.

Can’t see it

 

[BigGameDamian]

Rumor I heard this on NBA radio. Golden State Warriors trade D'Angelo Russell and William Conley Stein to Philadelphia 76ers for Al Horford.

Yeah...about 0% chance

 

[GDiama]

I watched Isaiah Thomas video about the fan that insulted him etc. Man these things are a given in Europe. I know they shouldn't be, but I really laugh when i see such reactions and think of the situation here.

 

[SIeepwalker]

It feels so good to be able to read the forum again without wanting to shoot my head off at Blazers1977's idiotic posts

 

[BonesJones]

Agreed!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh how I envy this person
