Kings finally getting hit with a little bad luck...

Darn, hope he didn't Huerter too badly.
Re: Around the League News: Week 22 (3/13 - 3/20)
I said "pass" because I just don't think Bogdanovic makes a lot of sense for this team, but this would be a pretty good return. Duran looks like everything we want Ayton to be, which is why Detroit would probably have no interest in making the deal.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: Around the League News: Week 22 (3/13 - 3/20)
INF, would you say you're pretty down on the team in general right now? Do you think we have a good shot at a title for the next few years? Assuming you can't undo anything already done, what would you be doing if you ran the Suns through this offseason?
Re: Around the League News: Week 22 (3/13 - 3/20)
I'm not going to speak for INF, but I'm down on this team, as they have glaring holes and Jones didn't address them. I don't have a lot of expectations that he will be able to address them in the next off-season or possibly afterwards either. It's a slow depletion of parts to the team that would help the team compete in the future. It just reminds me of the Sarver years, in which the team had no bench and they got older and older, without replenishing the team with young cheap talent that could be developed to fill in critical roles in the future. I don't have a lot of faith that winning on the margins is going to be possible with Jones running the shop.

As if anyone needed more reason to hate Dillon Brooks. NBA fined him $35K which I think is a little light. With his rep and past incidents there should've been a stiffer fine and suspension IMO. Feels like the NBA is more concerned with optics these days (ie, money) than really coming down hard and getting thru to some of these guys.

In defense of NBA players, I think some videographers and photographers perch in harm's way, too close to the court. There are very large human beings playing at rapid pace, and need more of a buffer zone.
Did Brooks give the camera man an extra shove? Sure. But it's not as egregious as, say, Dennis Rodman kicking a guy in the "groin" during a Bulls game ...

Man, who had Jalen Brunson as all nba contender after getting away from Lulu? Not me.
Acquisition wish list: Alex Caruso.
Re: Around the League News: Week 22 (3/13 - 3/20)
Regardless of what Rodman did, the shove was completely unnecessary. Players running into camera people also isn't as much of a common occurrence since they were moved off and away from the baseline. That guy was sitting near the scorer's table, which isn't even a spot where most players go flying out of bounds. Fans around the court are more in the way than the camera operators at this point.LazarusLong wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 8:00 amShelC wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 4:10 amAs if anyone needed more reason to hate Dillon Brooks.

Magic beat Clippers this afternoon in first part of an LA back to back
EJ was raving the other night about how far Fultz has come since the Sixers fiasco and that's good to see. He and (forum fave) Carter Jr. were quite the tandem just now

Re: Around the League News: Week 22 (3/13 - 3/20)
Tonight most of the teams just below us in the standings lost: Clippers, Warriors, TWolves. The two teams above us, Grizz and Kings, both won; but I think that's okay. I don't think we have much chance of rising above the #4 seed, but I just want us to keep it and not drop to #5 or worse during this Durant-less stretch. Having the Clips and Warriors drop a game helps a lot.
Current standings:
1 Nuggets 47-24
2 Kings 43-27 3.5gb
3 Grizzlies 43-27 3.5gb
4 Suns 38-32 8.5gb
5 Clippers 37-34 10gb
6 Mavericks 36-35 11gb
7 Warriors 36-36 11.5gb
8 Timberwolves 35-37 12.5gb
We're 1.5 games up on the Clips as of now. We're 5 games behind the Grizz/Kings, so like I said, I don't think we have much chance of catching them.

Re: Around the League News: Week 22 (3/13 - 3/20)
Loss column is key, we’re 2 games up in loss column on Clips and we have a pretty solid hold on the tie breaker. We’ve got the tie breaker against GS and we are in the drivers seat against Dallas as well. So while we are 2, 3, and 4 games ahead in the loss column on those guys…it’s more like 3, 4, and 5.

That Jokic mvp is gone…Philly and Milwaukee have been the best teams in the league after the all star break…one of Giannis or Embiid will grab the mvp…I’m thinking Embiid.
