A lot of these quotes are unsettling to be honest. I tend to believe where there's smoke there's fire and I don't think there's a lot of synergy right now between the coaches and the players - or maybe some coaches and some players. Things clearly aren't working and when a team is consistently losi...

All scouting reports without exception said that Ayton lacks effort and awareness in the defensive end. So I'm not suprised at all. He is what he is. It is not on him. Its on McD who should have chosen Doncic instead. Because Doncic is a defensive terror. He must be because other than that, Ayton h...

I share some concerns regarding Kokoskov critizing the players. But what worries me more is that we get news/rumors like this every year no matter who the coach is. Offense needs to be dumbed down because players don't understand it, they don't follow the coach's instructions, low effort, etc. Now t...

I'm confused. Wasn't this supposed to be a weak draft?

I think it ultimately doesn't matter as long as Sarver does Sarver things.

How are the Kings 6-3? We need to be doing whatever they did. They've been doing bad and irregular teams in OKC, MEM, MIA, WAS, ORL and ATL. They lost to every good team they faced in Utah, NOP and DEN. In comparison, our schedule has been brutal outside of the first game. A small steap for an aver...

http://bkref.com/tiny/i70Hk Deandre Ayton is the only player in NBA history to average 15/10/3/1 in his rookie season. It will be interesting to see if he can keep it up! These games annoy me. Doncic has negative WS, and still gets in an exclusive group with Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Grant Hil...

Man, I can't stand another year of hope for some rookie to save our ass.

Eh, we shouldn't hope to find a rookie with enough money to buy an NBA team anyway.

https://twitter.com/tim_cato/status/1053848132788854785 Doncic did this in a WIN against a playoff team in the Timberwolves which beat the Nuggets to get the 8th seed while the Nuggets got the 9th seed last year. And of course Ayton “played” against the Nuggets tonight as well... To be fair though,...

It's the combination that's impressive. 18/10 is a biggish a deal for a big guy, but how many guys who are good enough inside to put that up on opening night are also good enough passers to toss 6 assists? I agree, putting up 18/10/6 is great. I just don't see the added value of the number of cente...

Has there been a player with a better NBA debut than MCW? 22 pts, 12 ast, 7 reb, 9 (!) steals, 4/6 from 3 to beat the defending champions with the worst team in the league. What happened to him? He's a role player for the Houston Rockets now. He never developed a decent jump shot. I know, I'm just ...

Any thoughts on Lonzo Ball's role with the Lakers? Came off the bench in favor of Rondo. Was a -15 and only scored 7 points with 1 assist in 19 minutes. He just didn't seem to have any sort of impact on the game, in my opinion. I actually really liked how Rondo played -- it made me wonder what his ...

Any thoughts on Lonzo Ball's role with the Lakers? Came off the bench in favor of Rondo. Was a -15 and only scored 7 points with 1 assist in 19 minutes. He's not going to live up to the hype until he becomes a consistent shooter. Until then, he's a more famous Elfrid Payton. Isn't he at least a muc...

4 players in history have had a career debut with at least 18/10/6 http://bkref.com/tiny/gN4iK Deandre is the first since Big O in 1960. Only 5 centers (by bkref classification) in history played 36 or more minutes in their debut and didn't get more than 1 block. :) Don't get me wrong, Ayton had a ...

Embiid throwing down the gauntlet with 30/12/3/1/4. Now Ayton has to beat those numbers in his next game, right?

Or just play in back-to-backs once without snapping an ACL.

I smell bad mojo in this post

Nobody gave a first for Tyreke Evans who was on a tear last season. Then again, Memphis also didn't trade him for less.

Wasn't Crawford the worst defensive player in the league last season?

By DRPM, yes. #2 was Troy Daniels and #20 was Booker.

A good fit for the team then. Punt defense build.

Cool. We have our 12 owners. I'll give the two stragglers from last year until tomorrow at noon PST to sign up otherwise I'm going to lock the league at 12 teams. Does everybody agree they want the draft order early and trust me to do it? Apparently there's a way to randomize it early once I lock t...
