Pelicans being bad was pretty much a lock from the draft, it's why it was absolutely insane work for Dumars as his first move to give up an unprotected pick.

I arguably put that move up there with the Luka trade. Obviously the Luka trade is worse in a vacuum, but Dumars seriously made HIS FIRST TRADE AS PELICANS GM to be trading away an unprotected first round pick for a highly-likely lottery team just to move up in a draft for a mid-prospect. I genuinely can't think of a more insane move for a GM to make as his first move with a franchise.

Mavs battling back. Gonna need Dort and Cason to actually be threats on offense. They don't even want the ball right now.

Only 30 more wins needed for the Bulls to hit their over.

Wolves are also on B2B...Nuggets have struggled to put away Wolves in recent years even when Wolves were short handed

All you can do is hope the Pelicans' pick doesn't end up top 3 (Peterson, Boozer, Dybantsa).

Salutations my percipient Fam

VJ is the successor to MJ you've been wanting

King Wemby :king: is the best player in the association, 'nuff said

Siakam is a top 4 player in the association

Jaden McDaniels is the Batman, Ant is the Robin

It is what it is, folks :lol:!

Missed the game but looking at the boxscore Wemby's best stat tonight by far is 0/0 from 3

Liking the fight from the Mavs tonight. Kidd has to change this starting lineup. They are starting too poorly to keep with this. Start Christie and D-Lo until Kyrie is ready.

Get well soon J-Dub. Your offensive capabilities are missed.

Ill-advised shot by D-Lo. Yes, you're down 3, but Davis has been cooking.

I think D'Angelo Russell is my least favorite player of all-time and it's not even close

Chuck Everett wrote:8 Bulls in double figures tonight (without Coby White). Something worth monitoring as we move forward.

Game 1 - 6 guys in double digits
Game 2 - 7 guys in double digits
Game 3 - 8 guys in double digits

With Collins out we could only play Jalen Smith 7 minutes (he was awful tonight) so for a stretch we had Patrick Williams at the 5.

Shout out Tre Jones, 12.5/3/8 with 3.33 steals a game. The guy has been stepping up with Coby White out.
