Watching Anthony Davis chase Trevor Arzia around the perimeter ...

One of the top shot blockers and interior help defenders in the league. Wasting his skills out on the perimeter defending the 3 point line. What a waste.

Modern NBA for you

Cavaliers off to a sluggish start against the Knicks.

Up 34-33, but defense has been bad for them.

Good thing we didn't get Melo.

10 points and 5 rebounds on 4-12 shooting and no defense...  :o

Same old Melo...

Boogie and the Brow combined for 67 of their team's 99 points tonight.

But got blown out by the Rockets.

Incredible though, seeing how dominant that starting front court is. If they upgrade their backcourt, that team is gonna be monstrous for years to come.

Draymond Green dissing Paul Pierce "chasing that farewell tour, they don't love you like that!"

Too bad Draymond Green won't even have any when he retires. He just showed that he has no class even if he wants one.

They have no flexibility to sign another near max player. Best they can do is bet on mid-tier talents and draft well.

I know it's just one game but the Kings suddenly looked like a team. WCS dropping 29 for the win.

It's definitely just one game.  But it will be interesting to see if the Kings pull a post-Rondo 2014-2015 Celtics.

The competition for the 8th seed in the West is IMO the highlight of the remaining of the season.

Notice that both trades so far include teams competing for that 8th spot.

Which team do you think will make it?



I cannot wait for the impending Sacramento implosion. I think there is a chance for them to drop a -10 net rating in their remaining games. They're going to be a mess. Especially with them dealing the rest of their vets.

My gut feeling is that Nuggets will make it. This is part prediction, part wish. It will be hillarious to see NOP fail after that trade.

They'd need to start by firing Alan Gentry
I'm bitter.

I am cheering on Denver as well.

Do not like that New Orleans team. Anthony Davis is a center and one of my favourite players in the league. I hate seeing him forced to play PF and not get to fully utilize his talents. Especially on the defensive end. Such a gifted a defender. What a waste.

I'd be happy with Portland making it if Denver do not. Especially if Nurkic plays well for them. I do not like the Lillard - McCollum backcourt (too selfish, do not involve their teammates, lousy to watch) but I do like Nurkic. I love his physicality. It would be great to see him make a difference in Portland and get them into the playoff spot.

Denver because of Jokic. He makes them watchable. The rest of the team isn't nice to watch. I can't believe Jameer Nelson is still in the league. I don't think Mike Malone makes the most of the supporting cast around Jokic either. Anyway, Jokic.

Same old Melo...

My grandmother has more defense in her and maybe more energy.  He looks so out of shape , breathing hard all the time.  Chucking threes , moving slower than Pierce these days .

Getting George/Butler for the right price (obviously the right price didn't happen) was fine but Melo was the one guy that I was going to be really disappointed about if we acquired him. I don't think Danny ever seriously considered him because he simply doesn't move the needle anymore.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

@saltlover

Any ideas on why DAL waived instead of trading DWilliams?

They couldn't find anyone who wanted to trade for him, knowing that he was getting waived anyway.

The Kings don't have Alabt Gentry.  They have the much better Dave Joerger.
