The weirdest part about Green is he's one of the worst jump shooters in the NBA. His ceiling to me is a 6th man, he just doesn't do a lot in other areas and if he's not gonna be a Lavine level scorer than he's a 6th man at best. He's had plenty of chances and he's the exact same player he was 2 years ago.

Jalen Green needs a good coach and the ball in his hands more. High end athletic talent like that isn't common. If you think you could turn him around, you buy. Otherwise, he may remain an inefficient shooter/finisher at rim.

Clippers are back! I’m not sure if they win it all though, but they’re fun to watch.

Okongwu is basically playing himself into untouchable status. Masai is running major risk that players he identifies as having high upside start showing it in their stats and take themselves off the trade market for Siakam and OG the longer this drags on.

If Pistons lose tonight, there is a very real chance they will be on a 28-game losing streak when they face us next week.

It's quite amazing that they haven't even won a game by accident during this brutal streak.

And tonight they're playing a Jazz team on a B2B without Markkanen, Clarkson and THT...yet they're still down double digits early in Q2. If they can't win this game, I don't know when they'll win again. :lol:

The shambles will be so funny when the Pistons break the streak against us

Masai and Bobby would literally not be able to hide if that happens

Kelly O destroying the Pistons. They're never winning ever again

The raps legit should've traded for him instead of Yak. :lol:

They just need to hire Casey back for one night and they break that streak against us guaranteed :lol:

Oh wow, our game against Detroit is the second of a b2b. It's possible!

Bulls about to be 8-3 since Lavine went down, with wins vs bucks, heat, sixers, lakers included. Impressive stretch.

Crazy what a line up change can do for a struggling team, even if it’s cause of injury

100% it is going to be us :lol:

And if anyone wants to see wholesale changes. There is no way a DET loss is not the final straw

He was never available in any Siakam deal. Hawks see him as the future at C.

Malik Monk with a crazy dunk vs Suns just now. Highlight reel stuff

Matt Barnes in suit and tie, respectable analyst for Kings broadcast. Very different from his podcast persona

Not just the Monk dunk but those jerseys are VC era inspired I swear. Amazing stuff.
