I'd love to see some stats on our possessions where KD is the lead initiator, because the eye test has not been great.

Book now has 25 career games with 6 3s and is, I believe, 0-39 or 0-40 on any attempts after he hits his 6th.

Correction: it’s 0-37 now

Shogun on FX/Hulu is quite good. 2 episodes in.

This game was the full Nurk experience, for better and worse.

The IDF opens fire on helpless Palestinians as they scramble for scraps of food, killing at least 100. Great job eliminating those evil Hamas terrorists! I bet they were hiding under the scraps of bread. Get 'em, boys! https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1763187530474655880 This is an incredibly misl...

The bet actually gets thrown out, though, if Ayton plays 1 or fewer games the rest of the season. :P And now he's out with an injury. I knew I shouldn't have posted that. I would much rather display a Nurkic avatar all summer than have Ayton get a season ending injury. Hopefully it's nothing too se...

Why didn't any of the Nash teams make it out of the west?

People underestimate the impact of luck in sports success - both the presence of good luck and the absence of bad luck.

Cam also tops out at 50 games played every season.

In theory he's got more positional versatility than Grayson, but Grayson's defense has been a pleasant surprise too. He really competes on that end.

Not sure what he'd regress to, he's a career 41% from 3 and has always played hard.

I’m with you. He feels like a safe bet.

Tying this to the other thread, I’d take him over Cam Johnson and I’m not sure it’s close.

Cam’s lucky he got his bag when he did. I think he’s been exposed a bit since he went to Brooklyn.

I think there were a number of factors, the main one being we had just come off the Finals loss where we didn't have the size up front to defend. Even with Saric, we lacked length and athleticism with just Craig and Crowder. Stix fit the bill physically but also had the outside shot to spread the f...

One deal I wish we had jumped in on was the Gordon Hayward deal to reroute Vaseline Micic for Nas Little (NC return, better timeline fit for CHA). I wonder if there’s interest in exploring that in the summer.

EG was injured. He should be back by Thursday. Definitely starting to look like it’s starting 5 with Royce, Eg and Bol as the 8. With Thad and Okogie as spot minutes at the 9th. I kind of like this top 8.5. Has some versatile lineup combinations. I suspect if there are no surprises on the buyout ma...

This.

This back to back Durant turnovers where he didn’t run back sucked the life out of the team.

The Suns body language is awful. No joy. No passion.

Don’t love starting Gordon over Royce, TBH. Don’t really get it.

I like the idea of Young at small ball 5 with KD, Royce and 2 of Book, Beal, Grayson and EG. That feels much more viable than the KD and 4-guard lineups we’ve played to this point.

Funny topics to have back to back.

I found it most interesting that Nurk has a better FG% on them than DA. Wouldn’t have predicted that.
