I figured the Spurs would go 1-2 in the Miami @Houston @Boston stretch

nice solid win to end the mini-losing streak

Maybe

But Boban is highly skilled and extremely efficient offensively. Taco is not. I think he can be a better defender than Boban though.

We shall see. Someone will give him a shot for sure.

If I remember what I heard correctly, he started playing pretty late. So he's still learning the game. He probably won't ever get to Boban's level, but if he can at least be solid offensively, he could be a decent player.

Sign him to a 2 way deal. Keep him in the G-league for a year then bring him up the following year

Surprised/stunned we aren't losing by 18-20. That's what I expected.

You might have forgotten the Lakers are playing the Kings.

Kings need to remember how to beat LA teams next season.

I'm convinced the Kings did this on purpose as part of the Kings/Lakers rivalry. Sacramento already knows they probably won't make the playoffs so instead, they decided to hurt the Lakers lottery chances by letting win this game

When I saw how bad they were playing in the 3rd quarter, that shot went through my head. I'm sure finishing .500 is a goal for them now and still reasonable, but keeping the Lakers as far away from a top 3 pick is important too.

Shocker again.

You calling my post "stupid"

Point is, Curry's season was definitely better.

And at least I am consistent with my player assessments and use the same criteria. When statistical production is close (which it is in this case) you look at efficiency and defense. Curry was a lot better on both counts.

So if you want to argue semantics again, go right ahead. But I stand by my post.
Ok...but with these metrics Love is better than Klay on D. sure you want to go that route?

That said, "definitely better" is fair, but not the same as "not even close".

anything's possible, but hard to believe he's coming back.....

Irving critical of Celtics' implosion, D on Walker

You never know with Kyrie, he could go from I will never leave this great city to this place is shit in one week. I would have a hard time seeing him wanting to comeback if they don't even make it to the ECF's. I think he really does want to go to NY or Brooklyn
