Knicks deserved to be buried in that game.
Crowder picked off a sloppy inbound pass with 48 seconds to go.

If it was 8 seconds left, I could understand the outrage, but this isn't the NFL where you take a knee a couple of times to run out the clock...
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

He did say the steal was "cool." He just didn't like the follow up 3.
"Be Legendary."

Woj reporting that the salary cap and luxury tax threshold are likely to be lower in 2020-2021 due to loss of revenue from China. This suddenly makes Tyler Johnson WAY more valuable as a trade chip.
I think he said it will be lower than expected originally, but still higher than this year's cap.

You put a team of misfit toys and wanna be gangsters on a team together and this is what happens. Payton is on his 17th team in like 3 years. Wonder why. :roll:

Ya, expected to be 113 million instead of 116. Up from 109 this year.

I miss the old days of the 7SOL Suns as much as anybody. But I don't miss Coach D'Antoni running our veteran rotation players into the ground during the regular season. Here's a report that he's playing the new 34-years-old PJ Tucker 35.5 mpg despite his having a nerve injury in his shoulder and requesting less playing time. Same old Coach D.

Go back and look how many minutes Phil Jackson or Doc Rivers was playing their guys in the 7SOL era. There isn't much of a difference. Yep, Pop did a great job managing minutes and getting production from 10-12 guys, but that is incredibly rare.

Also, I just went through all of the links and didn't see PJ "requesting less playing time." Did I miss that?

Denver is scary but they are going to be fucking terrifying if he lives up to his number 1 pick hype that got before his injury that made his draft stock nosedive.

I wonder if Andre Iguodala would be willing to play for us.

I’d guess no if he won’t play for Memphis

The presence of Monty Williams, Devin Booker, and the UofA ties may make a difference.
