OMG....I'm going to watch Andre the Giant on HBO.

I am actually rooting for this 50 year old Laker guy...lol

So, I have to turn.

Keep shooting, Old Man.

Andre was the man, a true legend. Dude drank like 128 beers one time.

Dude's a great story. Glad the Lakers are doing this.

Some Dude named Ingram that spent 10 yers in the D League and this is his first NBA game EVER.

Ewwwwwwwww....Luc is hurt.

The shoulder popped out again.

I remember Luc being on the Kings for a short time and then some issues signing him years ago, sucks that he's getting hurt right before playoffs. Hope he can get back at some point.

Kyrie for 60 games, Horford is still a good player, multiple high lottery picks in Brown, Smart, and Tatum. They planned to expand Rozier’s role, added Morris and Baynes. He’s done a good job but they’re not talentless.

But my biggest beef is that the accomplishments are built up from a hot start and they haven’t played well in the 2nd half. When they beat the 76ers back in January, they moved to 34-10. They’ve gone 20-17 since then. That’s a big red flag for me if I’m voting for coach of the year.

Fair enough.

Who is your candidate?

I have Stevens, Stotts, Casey, Snyder, Trigger Mike.

Basically - I’m not saying Stevens sucks. I just think there are 2 or 3 guys that I’d put above him, so he’s not really in the conversation for me.

I know this is a stretch but what will be the narrative about KD if GSW loses in round 1?

That he shoulda kicked Zaza out of the way before he hurt Curry?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I have to see their match up and then I'll see if I want to bet you

Either Spurs, Pelicans, Nuggets or Wolves.

 

[knowyourenemy]

D’Antoni (again), Snyder, McMillan, Brown, Stotts, Casey, Stevens.

Decent article on the subject.

Analysis | The NBA’s coach of the year race is too close to call, but we’ll try anyway

Either Spurs, Pelicans, Nuggets or Wolves.

Pelicans or Wolves take one of the first 2 in GSW. The other 2 does not IMO

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

D’Antoni (again), Snyder, McMillan, Brown, Stotts, Casey, Stevens.

Obviously, I'm biased against Trigger Mike in Houston.

So, if there is another viable candidate, I'm all over that.

But, in all honesty, I have Casey and Stevens ahead of him.

The article I posted makes a case for 8 different guys.

This Ingram guy with 11 points for the Lakers. Incredible story

In all seriousness @bksballer89 KD does indeed have to step up or he will have a well deserved black mark on his playoff resume. He needs to play like he did in last year's Finals, that's why he's here, to be the co-superstar that can get past a first round playoff series with him as leader. He needs to average like 30/8/6 and play great D. Because he's capable of it, so he has to step up.

He played well for us.

But, I'm happy he went to a winning situation.

Sounds familiar @TurnUpTheHeat

The players and the crowd are going nuts for this guy.

This will be a night to remember and he's proving he has the talent to compete.

Good for him.

 

[Bolts]

Rockets better be playing starters tomorrow too, save the Kings from pushing themselves back to 7th worst record.
