I'm enjoying it. Can't be on top all the time, what a pity.

*Reminded of the GSW 700 million revenue headlines from like two weeks ago*. At least the owners will survive the year. All those corporate suites, team sponsorships, advertising $, and expensive tickets to tech yuppies for what might be a lousy product (at least this year). Ouch, consumers with the loss.

The one year tank could be an awesome play for the Warriors.

Trade for him. They wouldn't ever do it but if they would... Without giving up Giannis.

Unfortunately. I didn't think they'd make the playoffs, but thought they'd get a late lotto pick. Now, they could be a bottom 3 team.

How long until Walton gets fired? Kings are too crazy to let this run.

You can't stop Aron Baynes.

I don't care how big and strong you are McMahon, a good thumb to the eye will always slow a man down.

Baynes trying to take a charge on a small guard and it leads to an actual injury. If that doesn't give the NBA reason to fix the charge rule nothing will.

I'm not too sure what they can do to change it there, Baynes looked to be there in plenty of time and Steph ran into him relatively hard.

Tony Snell basically did that every night

Not blaming Baynes here. Just think purposely standing in front of a moving person and getting rewarded for it is ridiculous.

I should add, my main gripe with the charge is how unsafe it is for both players.

hmmm NBA players should be able to go around people who just stand without moving. If they cant they should be punished.

I hear you- for a non contact sport it's really dangerous. I do wonder about the no-charge line a bit, a lot of big guys get in good position but are kind of proppy because they have to make sure their feet are at a set position even if their whole body is not quite there yet (which ends up in them falling over).

I'd say refs could start to just call a charge even if the defender doesn't fall over a bit more so that guys naturally change their position for taking one over time, but I feel like Baynes prepping himself to stay upright and solid would do a lot more damage in his career than expecting to fall backwards.

Brogdon might end up being the best player on the Pacers even when Oladipo returns to the roster. He's really shining in his role right now. Who knew he could average 22/11/5 on good efficiency so effortlessly.

Steph breaking his hand sucks. One of the reasons it sucks is that they'll end up with the #1 overall pick and San Antonio Spurs themselves into a second dynasty right as their first has ended.

Just a matter of health for Brogdon. Where I really knew the Bucks would miss him was his consistency. Besides Giannis, he was the only guy last year that no matter what was gonna give you an efficient 15-20 and solid d. He’s not going to occasionally go off like Middleton will for 30 but rarely if ever does he have pube games. Him over Bledsoe would’ve been ideal.

A lot of sports comes down to luck. San Antonio built a dynasty off of a franchise player getting injured. If the Warriors luck into Jimmy Wiseman...

Imagine Brogdon playing in the All-Star game.
