LOL Bazemore fouls on a 3pt attempt to tie the game, but got bailed out by a missed FT.

Watching Hornets/Nets and Kelly Oubre is still very much Kelly Oubre. Bad positioning, missed rotations, disrupting the offense and taking bad shots. So happy this guy isn't on the Dubs anymore.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

76ers have decided to finally stop fining Simmons… It’s way too late tho. May as well just end this debacle already

Predicted it. Teams generally never succeed in a campaign of ongoing fines of a player. The union hammers them, the players agents hammer them, and all the terms are in the favor of the players. "My back hurts from practice, I REALLY WANT to play, I just can't do it because I'm injured."

After last night's game, I think Sac should offer a package of Fox for Simmons and see if they can get something else out of Philly. Watching Luke try to play Hali, Mitchell and Fox as many minutes as possible and have it not work so well convinced me that one of them should be moved and I have Fox as the odd man out. He's a mediocre perimeter shooter and I think both Hali and Mitchell will be more reliable in that regard. If Fox doesn't have the ball in his hands, how is he helping on offense? They should make him Philly's problem. Fox is a mediocre defender, mediocre shooter and turnover prone but he sure is pleasing to the eye when attacking the bucket off the bounce. It would be exactly the right chance for Morey to take to add a guard that can consistently get his own shot so the offense doesn't have to go through Embiid every possession.

Fox, Haliburton, Mitchell, Hield, and Davis/Ramsey ... 6 guards with under 5 years of experience and 4 were lottery picks. Amazing to think about it ... a team is struggling and spends 3 of their last 4 high 1st round picks at G, and before that traded their franchise in Cousins for Hield.

They are going to have to move someone eventually it seems.

Ideally for them they'd move Hield but Fox is the one other teams covet.

Thing is, if you consider how good Ja has become, Fox may not look as attractive in comparison. Similar profiles, every explosive PGs with suspect shot. But Ja is scoring at the rim just about every time he wants to and his shot is good enough already.

They've squandered a lot of high lotto picks, including top 5 lotto picks. Like they've already given up on Bagley, maybe will end up not getting anything in return for a guy picked before Luka and Trae.

My god that Pelicans trade where they sent #10 to the Grizz for Val, Trey Murphy, and the Lakers 2022 1st (top 10 protected, the Pelicans keep the pick if it doesnt convey) is looking good with 10 minutes left of the 4th game of the season. Hopefully the Spurs can hang on.

Hot Take: Without Al Horford, the Celtics miss the playoffs. With Al Horford, they are top 4 in the East.

Yeh, and what the efing punk Westbrick is.
Like I have said, trading for him will go down as one of the worst trades this summer. Think about it, bringing in the NBA cancer and totally undressing the entire team in the process. Hey LeBrick, the superstars usually make very bad GMs Fire yourself as soon as possible.

I still don't know what to make of him though. He's so awkward, and gangly, unathletic and unorthidox, but so very in control and understands smart decisions all the time. His shot looks like throwing a pie against a wall, and his little push shots look like a old man playing on a mini hoop. He's such a strange player to me, but he's so in control of everything that he does, that it makes him a must play from a coaches perspective. He's one of those players that seem to have a tonne of time, all the time, when they have the ball in hand. It's strange.

Evan Mobley is the best rookie big I’ve seen since Duncan. Extraordinarily talented, smart, and aware for a rookie. The kid has been here before.
