LUKA!!!!!

I would never cut TJ. The guy is too good just to cut. That's just dumb. You don't cut good NBA players

I will 1000% percent guarantee you if Riley was given the option of removing TJ from the payroll right now he would take it in a heartbeat.

This is Kuzma's 6th game this season with 5 or more assists. Last season, he had just 3.

He had pretty good games against the Magic and Rockets recently.

Lonzo keep shooting and keep missing

Temple with the dagger. Memphis are going to win in Staples after the Lakers beat the shit out of them last weekend in Memphis

Even though Memphis losing is better for the Kings' playoff chances, the Lakers lost which is still cool.

Probably not, but maybe I'll change my mind before then.

 

[Bolts]

Also Luka keeps trying to depress Kings fans by doing amazing things, I'm trying my best to focus on them being a winning team and not on his highlights but damn that shot was impressive. I'm ready for Bagley to return.

well at least you got to see what a REAL All-Star level young PF looked like tonight. Jaren Jackson Jr. is head and shoulders more talented than Kuzma. Kuzma is very very good- JJJ is and can be GREAT. JJJ is 19 years old.


Lonzo Ball last year from 3: 30.5 %

Lonzo Ball this year from 3, with LeBron James providing spacing: 30.9% from 3

Lonzo Ball from the free throw line in his NBA career an Andre-Drummond-like 47%

@tlance how in the hell can you justify playing a guard that shoots 47% from the free throw line and less than 31% from 3 and under 40% from the field as a "starter" on half the teams in the league? for the love of everything that is holy- please give us a mea culpa on that one--- PLEASE. A guard shooting 47% from the free throw line- have we even seen Hack-a-Shaq on a guard? Is he playable in a 4th quarter in a close game?


Brandon Ingram from 3- last year: 39% (albeit in limited attempts 1.8 a game)

Brandon Ingram from 3 this year with LeBron James providing spacing and in his 3rd year: 30.8% (albeit in limited attempts- 1.8 a game)

The stretches of defense this Thunder team is showing they are capable of is exactly what wins titles in this league. Man this is a fun team to watch.

its a very good team

if Roberson can get back and be healthy the defense goes from great to something that can be absolutely suffocating- whats the story on him? Is it possible he is back and healthy at some point?

 

[WiggyRuss]

this last draft was just absolutely ridiculous.

If it was re-done today?

I think JJJ goes #2

Doncic of course #1- but JJJ #2. He is going to be so good.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

His current contract is a totally different discussion vs question the path he took to be offered it.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

cant underestimate the fact that its a lot easier in the NBA to uncover diamonds in the rough when you dont have diamonds and have to give a lot of rough a lot of playing time.

Then why don't the Cavs ever come up with any?

@TurnUpTheHeat @Heatles84 Miami next 6 games

VS Toronto
VS Cleveland
VS Minny
AT Cleveland
VS Washington
AT Atlanta

If they keep on playing the way they have most of this month then I don't see any reason why they can't go 4-2 in those games which will leave them at 20-18.

Minny and Toronto would be your toughest contests. the rest the Heat should win if they play like they should...

Yep but considering they beat Houston, Milwaukee, and went toe to toe with the Lakers in the last 2 weeks, I think they can at least go 1-1 in those 2 games
