He was basically a witch's hat defensively for the Suns because of the mediocre defense.


I also happen to think this makes Boston a(n even more) seirous threath to make it to the finals. Moose is an unstoppable scorer in the paint against second units, and he is a gifted passer, so Bostons not so good second unit shooters will have an easier time scoring, while defense was never really a problem. They are the team to beat in the east imho, with Love injured, IT playing bad, and Toronto having a bunch of good 6th man besides DeRozan (and somewhat Lowry).

New Orleans is a bigger dumpster fire then us. Throw **** at the wall and hope it sticks.

I know we didn't play any defense, but when you're scoring 120+ against the Warriors AND the Spurs in the same week that means you're hot.

Last time the Spurs gave up 120+ points at home in a non-overtime game it was March of 2013.

Only in a tank battle can you score 9 points in the 1st quarter and win.

Called the Clippers GM and said Tristan Thompson would love to be in LA, imagine having the Kardashians going to every single home game. Raise the cost of your tickets because people would rather see the Kardashians watch the Clippers play than to actually watch the Clippers play themselves. This deal pays for itself, and likely even pays for your Blake Griffin trade.

That is likely his best selling card.

Cleveland capitulating against Orlando.

Memphis are 20 down to the worst record team at HT.

Cleveland fall to Orlando. Wow. That team has just fallen apart. Wonder where LeBron is going, because he definitely is leaving. Oh please McD, just leave him be! Don't try to do it.

The only team with cap space that is in the playoff picture is Philly. It's really a good question because unless some team clears major cap space....but I guess you can never count out the Lakers either.

i wonder how a Ball/Ingram/LeBron/Kuzma/Lopez team would do with Nance Jr, Randle and Josh Hart off the bench.
