Not sure why Demar’s being blamed for not being able to carry Vucevic and a bunch of bench players.

Personally I don't blame DeMar, that whole franchise is below mid.

Idk how their fans aren't furious with their management.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but I think I'm finally over the TNT crew. They're still the best around, but nowadays I find zero value in anything beyond live gameplay, and even that's not compelling very often.

Agreed. They're not funny, Shaq mumbles and talks about "the others" way too much. The analysis is lacking.

And their competition the ESPN crew is much worse.

Demar could still help a contending team

Watching the Kings get dusted by the Pels & back out of the Playoffs...any chance they'd trade their 24' pick for Bruce Brown?! lol

Then maybe package that with the IND pick to move up and ensure we get a decent young prospect & if we keep our pick, have 2 lotto picks. Of course I doubt it but with that ownership I don't count anything out.

Can’t believe the Kings lose to that Pelicans team. You have Fox and Sabonis and Murray.

i doubt raps want another 2024 pick. they had a chance to make that trade this year and chose not to. maybe 2025.

Atlanta loses Kings pick

Top-12 protected in 2025 now.

I don’t think it conveys next year. As Fox said about Monk: wants him back but money talks. Kings can only offer $17-18m

Hope Jonas has a monster series vs the Thunder

The starting lineup of size the Pelicans used last night (JV, BI, HJ, TM3 & CJ) could cause trouble for the Thunder.

Question will be who can make their shots between the two teams.

Yeesh. But surely Jalen Suggs' defense more than makes up for that. I'm sure Donovan Mitchell must have had a tough time scoring today.

AntMan is like my dream player for here…

Just confidence/swagger on a thousand, he’s not scared of the moment at all and actually seems to welcome it!

Has that IT factor that nobody else around his age has. A true franchise player.

Phoenix looks completely useless on defense my god.

They threw all these guys together last year hoping to build some chemistry and that the pieces would fit but this just looks like a failed experiment.

Brinbe · Post #919 » by **Brinbe** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 10:09 pm

ANT''s arrival as a superstar.

Wolves' depth showed up, NAW/Naz been super important. And this was with Slo-mo out early too.

KD showed up, Booker disappeared, Allen gave them literally nothing and the Suns look like the badly built team everyoe said they'd be. No depth at all except Royce but their strength was already at the 2/3. might as well play okogie

* the Sac queens for trying to lowball us and didn't even make the playoffs. Losers.
