Seriously, this took 45 minutes: https://streamable.com/y1i2e

Marcus Morris is insufferable, but not nearly as insufferable as the game delay that the refs caused to figure out that Marcus Morris is a piece of ****.

Kenny Mauer is STILL walking around with the ball in his hands, getting a lot of airtime. Halftime is going to take less time.

Anyway, thanks for reading my blog.

Luka is a joke. Tatum's only advantage is he's only 19.

I don't know where Pat the Rat keeps getting these no-name players, but talk about getting the most bang for your buck. Who the hell are Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn? Heat are going to be a problem in the playoffs.

Popovich about to have his longest losing streak (7) as the Spurs coach, not counting their Duncan tank year.

Stevens' longest losing streak as Celtics coach, not counting tank year, is 5.

A sucky Spurs team is very disorienting. It’s been 84 years...

Spurs seem almost disdainful for the three point shot. Building your offense around LMA and DeRozan and you're going to have a garbage offense. You can't have DeRozan, LMA, Poeltl on the floor together, you become so easy to defend when the only threat from outside is Bryn Forbes. They were forced into this spot a little when they had to trade Kawhi, I suppose. I guess they're just building a team around the personnel they have, they haven't had the luxury of a high pick to bolster the roster in 20+ years now.

Philly will win this by double digits. Can't believe the Knicks are giving Marcus Morris 20 shots. Is Kevin Knox completely unplayable. Seems like they should be hellbent on seeing what they have with Trier, Knox, Robinson, Ntilikina, Barrett. Just have all your PF free agents ride pine and collect checks.

When you build your team around two stars stuck in the 90s, that is what you get. I don't care how good the coach is. And really, Pop was so lucky to have Tim Duncan for that long.

Your Morris hate is too much. He was the Knicks' best player in the game by far.

Nah, he sucks. 19 shots, 16 points. Zzzzzzz. Ball stops in his hands all game long. Awful player. Every year he's a negative +/- guy and it's no surprise. Although he did have 6 assists somehow tonight. Just a losing player is all. Lots of losing players around the NBA that can take a lot of shots.

Don't remember which podcast i heard it but Murray and White have only played 7 min together (not counting this game and maybe the previous one) so far. That seems like an odd choice for your 2 most promising players.

Gotta be the KO & Meyers effect. It's easy to play with superstars.

That's not saying much.
