Wow, Kentucky lost to 14 seed Oakland (located in Rochester MIchigan). I have seen articles lately about how Rob Dillingham should go #1......reminds me of Ayton losing to a 14 seed when expecting to go #1. Seems like kind of a red flag if the supposed best player in the country on a blue blood team with high level recruits loses to a team like Oakland in the first round.

They actually have two guys projected in the top 5. Reed Sheppard also.

Magic beat Pelicans too. If Dallas loses we could gain a game on all the other 5-8 teams. Or it could be the night where all the 5-8 teams lost to inferior teams.

I don't see the Mavs losing to the Jazz here, but that would be ideal.

Geez! Seems as if this team starts off every game with cold shooting & turnovers lately.

They are missing their best player right?
Just like Milwaukee right?

But I remember those people telling us everything will be fine when the "big" 3 finally play together...

Booker playing with that intensity he played the first several games of the season. Love for everyone to take the regular season seriously.

So we've added slow starts to our lazy finishes.
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

We shouldn't be struggling against a Hawks team missing it's best player and even if we win this one it won't be very impressive.

Not on a team with 3 all stars.

Late again. Doesn't look like I've missed too much. We'd better win this one.

And to think we could have had Bogdanovic this whole time and instead made an asinine trade with SAC to get Chriss instead.

Is that so? We had his rights and were a far better place than SAC at that point. I don't recall hearing anything about an unwillingness to come here.

Seriously... we need to have like 20 plays drawn up to get Allen open 3s every possession.
