opposing centers: Nick Richards and Mason Plumlee

Not surprising at all. If anything, he probably should have scored more

A double triple double is blowing my mind. I guess he's The Joker like a wildcard, but I just think of the personified antithesis of order Batman rogue so it's never felt fitting. His power level is more along the lines of Doomsday or Darkseid, someone that can kill Superman. Just dismantles the opposition leaving the few survivors awestruck.

Jokic really should be working on his 5th consecutive MVP right now, just an unreal talent

Random rumor alert
Lamb is dating kings owner daughter and allegedly the two are influencing roster moves. Lol.
I had heard that lamb was a big time dog with ladies in charlotte when he was here. Now he's about to inherit the kings.

Happy to see Alex Sarr turn it around after a crappy preseason. There was always talent there just wasn't sure how he'd deal with NBA physicality

So what does the heat losing 8 in a row and may not even make the playoffs do for that pick

if they miss the playoffs, they owe an unprotected 2026 1st to OKC which means an unprotected 2028 1st for us :D

we pretty much just have to hope they don't draft their next franchise player with this 2025 (or that he doesn't become one by 2027-28) and that pick is gold.

The Wizards and the Jazz will play each tonight SO - one of them will have to win. If we can get into the bottom 2 it would be helpful come lottery time.

WTF :lol:

I missed the report where Kai signed in Dallas

On a related Dallas note, they added a 2nd round pick to Qentin Grimes to get their hands on Caleb Martin

Buz had seemingly most of the pros that our front office would have gravitated towards in salaun without half of the cons of a salaun.

This will be an interesting comparison two to three years from now
