I've only been there once, but it was great. Can't wait to go to more games there(and being able to get in to see the game).

Hopefully, the team is a bit better too.

 

[Bolts]

You're at the game?

Sweet.

Nope, James Ham tweeted that out.

 

[Bolts]

How far are you roughly from the arena?

About an hour and a half, I don't live in Sacramento but close enough that I can get there if I wanna go to a game. If I move to San Diego it'll be tougher but I could fly over for a homestand stretch of games.

Playing a little more defense in the 2nd quarter than in the 1st.

SD is pretty nice. Haven't been there in a while but I remember it being a nice city.

I love it there, it'll be a great feeling to live there instead of just visiting for vacation.

So many kids already making shit decisions to declare for the draft.

Just like at least 2-3 guys who are barely top 60 prospect declaring for the draft

@TurnUpTheHeat do you ever see Whiteside on the bench when you're at Heat home games?

I wasn't there tonight, but in general, yes.
He usually comes out around half way through the 1st qtr.

Great game tonight even though the offense was shit for quite a while in the 2nd half.

Happy to see this team playing great ball at home just in time for the playoffs. They were a pretty mediocre home team for the first 2.5 months or so. Also, as bad as they been on the road for the last 2 months, at least they always put themselves in position to win on the road late in the game which is also important

Great tanking job by the Kings tonight.

Now even in losses with Dallas

Kings 2-0 in Dallas
Mavs 2-0 in Sacramento
Makes sense. They still need to win one more game for the Kings to have a chance at tying them(same with the Nets).

How the fuck is he only 17?!?!?

Did you see how far he cocked that back....in his NON-Dominant hand?

This fucking monster is almost bigger than LeBron is NOW.

6'6 275 lbs 17 year old with this kind of agility?

Yeah. He's a total freak of an athlete for his age. He reminds me of Shawn Kemp in both body and athletic skill. And also like Kemp, I think he could struggle with weight as he gets older if he doesn't stay in the gym. Look at his hips and thighs. That's a wide frame and you see a lot of guys put on weight as they age with that body type. I'm not saying I wouldn't draft him or anything like that. I'm just saying I hope someone is in his ear telling him he won't always look like that without work, know what I mean?

I have not seen much beyond his dunks.

What are his skills like? Is there much substance there, or is he just a freak athlete right now?

San Antonio, Denver, and New Orleans all losing last night helps OKC.

 

[Black Adam]

alluva sudden i like Dwade agan...

Durant ready to return: 'I'm playing Thursday'

 

[bksballer89]

I hope not. I would like to have him back for 1 more year then have him ride off into the sunset
