Weren't we interested in signing this guy as a free agent?


What was his +/-? :wink:

His commentary is putrid.

Just because you want to be an analyst after your career, doesn’t mean you have any insight.

I'd hate to be the Warriors. They may have an MVP type player, but overall they are a pretty bad team. They re-signed Draymond which is crazy given how unpredictable he is. Wiggins is back to being the old Wiggins again (terrible and overpaid with a player option!). They have to decide what to do with Klay.

Prospect-wise they have nothing to build around like Scottie. They are really going to drag this team around for another year or two and it is going to get worse.


well they have 4 championships in the last 8 years. I mean that’s a pretty amazing run. Nothing to hate if your a warrior fans, a better run than every other NBA team.

Franz and Lamelo would've fit this team perfectly insane how badly he botched it. I thought they should've traded their 2nd pick for a win now player too. Curry getting the 2022 to a chip has hidden how much their FO botched their lotto picks.

Pacers Bucks very chippy. 9 technicals, a flagrant 1 on Nesmith for throwing Giannis down, Crazy eyes Killa ejected.

Feels like February or March with tempers getting ragged in the league

Bucks blowing out Indy in revenge for IST semi. They'd have given the Lakers a better game if they played like this.

I don't know if Giannis is right, or coming off as another entitled superstar here.

Kawhi quietly back as a superstar:

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/tv/kawhi-leonard-quietly-looking-like-a-superstar-again-how-the-claw-is-helping-clippers-reach-full-potential/ar-AA1lskkF

Take everything that you've heard about Kawhi Leonard — that he's washed, that he can't stay healthy and that the Clippers can't win with him anymore. Then compare it to the cold, hard facts of this season.

Leonard hasn't missed a game all year. He's in the top 15 in minutes played for the entire league. He's exceeded his career averages almost across the board, averaging 23.3 points per game on 50.3 percent shooting from the field and 42.1 percent from 3. And the Clippers are riding a five-game winning streak to take their record up to 13-10 after blowing out the Kings on Tuesday.

After a rough start, Harden and Leonard have started to find some good chemistry. No other Clipper has passed more to him, and Harden has been great at finding him one pass away for 3s.

Leonard has been incredible on those catch-and-shoot 3s, hitting 48.4 percent of them. His touch has been outstanding. He's breaking shots out of his bag that haven't been seen before, including a floater 3-pointer.

Leonard has also been ludicrous as a cutter, shooting 90.9 percent on those play types. There isn't a better player in the league at converting off cuts right now.



I'm happy for Kawhi and the Clippers I don't hate them as some here do. Happy for Kawhi after all he did for us, and all his injuries. Hope he remains healthy, it makes the West so interesting.
