ATL - Road teams now up 5-0 (Indy, NYK, Den, GSW)

I know Durant is hurt and the odds of catching Dallas is very slim the the Suns have completely quit on Bud.

The Bucks had a great culture under Bud. Was it because of Giannis or Bud? I think we have our answer. And I don't necessarily think that's a knock on Bud. The star(s) set the tone.

Bit unlucky but I don't if Luka deserves the benefit of the doubt with **** like that.

This. Love watching his highlights. Can't stand watching him play a full game. Grow up.

I'm not. Ham is on deck. Firing Doc now and elevating Ham would be yet another coaching blunder.

3 wrongs by the same front office don't make a right. Nobody's stopping them from riding w/ Prunty the rest of the season.The spacing, structure, & rotations were better w/ him those 3 games last season than at any point surrounding up until now.

3 letters argue otherwise.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

How is this smut allowed on youtube? Watched the entire video btw.

Thinking today of the former cheerleader who temped in my department at Duke and would launch into a monologue about the G-Man at even a tangential provocation.

Do I have an outlook reminder for Gminski Day?

I surely do.

I'm cautiously optimistic about KPJ. The talent has never been in question and we saw it last night. We also saw the boneheaded tech. Both him and Bobby on the floor with playoff intensity will definitely keep everyone on the edge of their seat. Not sure he's a building block, but I'd be fine with bringing him back on the cheap. OTOH, we're stuck with Kuzma's 20+ salary for 2 more years. Can't wait for Horst to work his magic of attaching an asset to get rid of him.

Here's a fun exercise! Players from the Wizards I'd replace Kuzma with right now:

The Youth Division: Sarr, Coulibaly, Carrington, George, Jones, Champagnie

The Doesn't Cost over 20 Million Division: Kispert, Bey, Holmes

The At Least We Don't Have to Pay Him Next Year Division: Brogdon

To his credit, Horst did manage to avoid acquiring the contracts of Poole and Smart.

Luka returns to Dallas tonight

[engelmartin]

Phoenix is so bad. They should be docked their pay for this level of effort.

Somehow OKC is only favored by 7.5 against Phoenix tonight according to my sports book. Golden State beat them by nearly 40 yesterday (it was worse than the numbers indicated).

Just taking stock of the fact that, in the Parity Era, winning a title immediately generates highly improbable expectations.

[VooDoo7]

Man, Luka in tears on the bench watching his tribute video. Mav fans gonna hate Nico even more after seeing that.

[VooDoo7]

"Fire Nico" chants already lol.

[Plossum]

Watching how much Luka obv still cares about Dallas and how much the fans love him… it will never not boggle the mind that they traded him.

[MickeyDavis]

Yeah that was sad. Jrue didn't cry during his tribute video, that SOB.

Very odd dynamic watching this game. I wanna root for Luka, but **** LA and the bullsh-t trade they somehow pulled off. I wanna root for the Dallas fans because I feel for them, but i also want Nico to be embarrassed even more. Then again, the DAL fans are likely rooting for Luka to go nuclear and would love to see a Mav loss.

14 for Luka in the 1st quarter so far.

[VooDoo7]

Almost forgot, **** Kidd.

[blazza18]

This game coverage is so funny because it's 99.9% Luka and also Anthony Davis is here.
