Thanks for the threads, Shel. It's kind of nuts that despite a 15-game winning streak (!), OKC at 30-5 still does not have the best record in the NBA; that is the Cavs at 31-4.

OKC is pretty amazing. They came storming back last night against the Celtics and turned a deficit around quickly in the 2nd half and steamrolled the Celtics.

Most efficient volume scorers in the NBA this year. KD is tenth on the list.

Kind of an interesting graphic. The Pistons are having a great season. Ditto the Grizzlies, Rockets, Spurs. Big downswings for teams expected to be good like the 76ers, Bucks, Nuggets, Wolves, Suns, Kings, maybe Pelicans.

Poor Wizards at the bottom. Nothing changes. I guess we have some things to be thankful for.

He never wanted more than that 2nd contract. Might as well retire and become a twitch streamer.

Just has to show up for one more season after this one, then he can do that.

And even then he probably could get a minimum contract that pays him more than 90% of the population.

Guys, guys. If he had just been allowed to be coached, the way that he was meant to be coached (the way that Vogel WANTED to coach him), then he would be All-NBA right now!

No anymore. He is POR's problem now. Not that we don't have our own, but at least this Wizard of Oz trifecta is not eating up at us anymore.
