I mean, I guess TECHNICALLY that's a really soft foul, but I've seen a hundred tougher plays tonight not called.

Not for the price you gave up for him, especially as he has never been an All Star.

he’s the 4th option putting up 17 ppg on one of the best offenses in the nba

the nets got a bunch of picks that’ll be between 25-30 — those can be bought every year


Late first rounders under this CBA are worth less than top of the second round picks at this point.

This game MB puts up 29 points on 18 shots, 5rbs, 6ast, 1stl a +35 while guarding Ant all game who had a pedestrian for him 17pts. The type of numbers and efficiency MB has this December has only been eclipsed by Jokic and has the best +/- during it.

Of course, I'm sure you are well aware of these things I mention... :lol:

The last could easily have been a no-call, and a it was a late one, which makes it more frustrating so I can’t blame Sabonis for his reaction (though tech is well deserved if you swing your arm like that)

As for Fox and his foul trouble, he only has himself to blame for that stupid 5th foul that early in the third.

There have been some bad calls/no calls in favor of the kings as well.

Not the best reffed game, but far from investigation worthy or blatantly one sided.

Max showing the potential i always knew he had. Dude has the potential to be a star in his role.

Fantastic game.
