We can outbid the Lakers offer for Kessler i think.

I’m not sure Utah wants to trade him. If they get their star in this draft, they’ll probably start building around Lauri, Kessler, and Flagg/Harper.

We have lots of different opinions here but did you see anyone proven wrong ? I saw big foot and naked Penelope Cruz here but never saw someone proven wrong.

He's much smaller than I remember. Anyone comping AB to Elf needs to get checked.


Elf is 6'4 with shoes... AB is flirting with 6'8


Elf is 6'2'50 without shoes and 6'3 in shoes.

Derozan, Lavine and Fultz on same team. I get Kings hate defense, but it looks like they hate offense as well.
Poor Sabonis might kill himself, they are doing everything in their power to make his skills as useless as it can be.

Let's say you are trying to lose a game and your opponent is struggling, what do you do?

I know: start a 10-day player. Elfrid "Tank Commander" Payton played his role very well in this game.

4 points in 32 minutes. 2-6 shooting. Minus-6 in plus/minus. All around solid performance to ensure the loss.


p.s. I didn't know DaQuan Jeffries was still in the league. He took Payton's cue and also did everything he could to maximize the lotto ticket chase.

Depressing boxscore thoughts:

Orlando won the FG% battle to win the game. But come one, does one "win" with a 41.1% overall FG%?

In the end, it was rebounding that led to the win. And the plus-9 differential. The minus-4 TO differential was also very nice.

Interesting tank race: Washington scores 130 and Charlotte scores 86. It is about being focused to the job at hand!
p.s. The Wiz lost even with the 130.
