Around the League: Week 21 3/13-3/19

I dig peanut butter (chunky style), honey and banana sandwiches. On Ezekiel bread, which is thick and can hold the mess together better (and allow for more honey).

Ezekiel bread is excellent, just has to be toasted. I'm not a big fan of chunky style though. Creamy Jif for me. I'll have to try Honey instead of Jelly or Jam.

You've never had a peanut butter and honey sandwich?! Oh, man. With a tall glass of milk? Nothing better. (Although I do like the chunky style.)

Trader Joe's PB is the best. It has no sugar added to it, and no oil added either. that means you have to stir it up when you first open it, and keep it in the fridge, but it is so worth it. Now that I live an hour away from the nearest TJ's, I stock up on their PB and buy 4-5 jars each of smooth and chunky. I can't take the Jifs or similar ones anymore with all that sugar, oil, and preservatives!

And while I am on a PB kick, the best way to finish off a jar of PB after you have scraped everything you can get out? Make oatmeal in the jar the next day for breakfast.

Sorry about that, Chief.

Buddy Hield continues his good play in Sac. It's night and day, and 14 games in it's getting hard to call it a fluke. His fg% is way way up, his steals are way way up, his rebounds are up, he is attempting way more free throws, and his fouls are the same. His turnovers are way up, too, but that's the only bad thing you can say.

I's fascinated with NOP, and one of the things I don't understand is why perimeter players struggle so much there. When I watch their games, I see a lot of Davis (and now Boogie, too) getting isolated at 16ft out, and all 4 of the other guys are jammed together on the other side of the court. IDK, but I feel like Gentry might be gone even if they make the playoffs.

[carey]

Oh, Gentry is definitely going to be axed. It's the Monty Williams situation all over again only Gentry has been slightly worse for some reason. I'm not sure why no one can figure out how to build a credible offense around Anthony Davis but it hasn't happened yet.

[Mori Chu]

They don't have nearly enough outside shooting. I don't think Gentry is doing a perfect job, but without shooters they can't spread the floor. Having Davis and Cousins regularly chuck long jumpers and 3s is a waste of their talents.

Which brings us all the way back to "Why don't guards play well in NO?"

Because their big men play outside as much as they play inside? Spacing.

I remember that Delk game. Was it 55 against Sacramento? Maybe I don't remember it. Ha.

Anyone think Booker will have a 50 point game?

Ever? Yes. This season? No.

If not this year, next year.

NOOOOOO AAHHHHH

To be fair, he didn't have a 50 point game. He had a 70 point game.

Haha. Man Phil sure blew it with Noah. This has to be the worst contract in the NBA. Would Thibs take him in Minni 'for free'?

[pickle]

For whatever reason, when I asked a couple of friends who follow the NBA closely whether they feel the Mozgov deal or the Noah deal was worse, and most said Mozgov.
