He's been on a tear this season - thriving off the gravity created by Harden's heliocentric playing style.

I hope Bogdan can replicate this level of production when he gets healthy.

Helps when you have your full squad for most games.
Starters have combined to miss only 1 game (by Mobely).
Bench hasn't missed many either.

It's going to take time for Kenny to get his career record to .500 but he's been the piece the Cavs have needed.

Caris LeVert handicapped the Cavs last season since he was third in field goal attempts and shot 42%. Kenny made sure that didn't happen this season.

Chris LeVert is averaging 8.2 attempts per game at 55%.

What really helps is that the team is shooting the ball exceptionally well.

52%

Imagine a 30-year old Franchise cornerstone and MVP...having to be corrected by a 24 year old on professionalism.

The Philly fans I know expect Joel Embiid to get traded. Something is going on in his life. Being a Dad can change a man.

We spent so many years hoping and praying to get a star player here to our Hawks. But the lesson I've learned since 2028...most of these dudes are kinda obnoxious.

Unprofessional, undisciplined, disloyal.

This is the dilemma of having a superstar player on your franchise.

Steph's great. Dame was mostly great.

But most stars are spoiled prima donnas.

Criticize Quin and the Hawks all you want.

But at least we aren't witnessing the on court/in locker room horror shows that are on display in Minnesota and Philadelphia.

Yikes...

Gobert and KAT a couple of sesson ago kept the drama going, but seemed to improve on it last season, and KAT was dealt. Gobert and Donovan Mitchell failed and the two butted heads under Quin.

Minnesota continues to try to fix things but they migh5 be keeping the wrong guy.

Former Summer League Hawk Mfiondu Kabengele

Canada opened the second window of the FIBA men’s AmeriCup 2025 qualifiers with an 88-71 win over the Dominican Republic on Thursday at Sasktel Centre.

Mfiondu Kabengele scored a team-high 17 points, along with two blocks. Trae Bell-Haynes added eight points, four rebounds, and a game-high ten assists.

Canada is now 3-0 in the qualifiers despite little practice and a blend of newer and older players on the squad.
