Two things I noticed. Improved a lot in acting to get the attention of refs for a foul and he's been better in knocking down open 3s.

Not only that ,the thing im loving this last week or two is him posting up and being successful at it

Now only if the coach can run plays for him and get time on the floor! Probably will have to wait until next season bc of obvious reasons

KP looked good today for sure. I can see why all the hype is around him.

Mudiay came through in the clutch for us despite not shooting well most of the game. He also had 9 assists and no turnovers. Quiet game from the Joker.

Raul Neto has been playing some nice basketball lately:

I noticed that during his 4th quarter run, Russell and Black more or less ignored the 'offense" and was running simple PnR. I wish that they would do this more.

I'm pretty sure Jokic would have put up better numbers if given the minutes. He only played 19 minutes but still managed 13 points and 6 boards on 4-9 shooting. Not sure why Malone didn't put him back in.

I'm not comparing them, but there are moments where Stanley Johnson reminds me of LeBron James, just because of how built, skilled, and athletic he is.

Smaller, slower, and with less court vision... but yeah, kinda.

Guys built like tanks that are still quick and skilled are fairly rare. LeBron is just the REALLY rare version.

You guys can get a closer look when you beat our asses tomorrow. We're not playing consistent ball at all right now. There's about 25% chance we blow you off the floor, and a 75% chance you do the same.

Rebounding and defense are impressive. However, 23 shots sort of disillusions his points.

He also started the game 0-6, and proceeded to go 10/17, with one of the shots being a half-court attempt. To put it in context.

I don't mean to be rude. But that's one of the worst highlight mix I've seen. How can they show the featured guy turning the ball over and getting blocked in a mixtape like this?

It's not a mixtape. It's both his good and bad moments from that specific game I guess. Imagine if FreeDawkins and DownToBuck were posting Mudiay's TOs and missed shots. Those vids would be like 20 minutes long. It's kind of good that this one is only 3 minutes long

The thing about KP is he'll take shots even if he's missing them. I like that about him. As was said, started 0-6 but then started hitting. For a guy who's 7'3" you'd like to see better than 42% shooting. He is a unicorn, that's for sure.

SJ last 10 games 13.1 PPG, 4.8 boards, 2.5 assist, .472 FG%, about 36.5% from 3 (14/38). Coming along

Latest RPM rankings...

14. Nikola Jokic

http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/sort/RPM

This guy gets no national discussion in ROY competition, but man... on a per minute basis, he is the best, and it is not close.

Myles Turner, since January 17th:

12 games
15.9 ppg
55.9 FG%
7.3 rpg
2.3 bpg
29.8 mpg

This, while playing with a cast on his thumb after missing seven weeks with an injury.

It'll be interesting to see how Turner, Towns, Porzingis, and Okafor rise and fall in the coming years, and who separates from the pack.

On a side note: My condolences, Charlotte Hornets fans.
