Why do the Raps run to the wings on fast breaks instead of the corner? A top of the key 3 is a tougher shot than a corner 3, and more to the point, It clogs up the spacing and lets one defender cover multiple guys. Scal was quite confused about why Toronto is the only team that does this.

Kings were fun up-and-coming team just two seasons ago and turned into Bulls of the West. Ironically signed EL MVP who had to compete for playing time with Lyles. Brown favoured Trey, which probably makes sense for NBA style of game. Interesting to see how he adjusts to EL game and how they compare in another league. Right now Lyles having a rough game vs Zvezda.

Yes, I am watching this game. In other game, Nunn had -9 PIR last time I checked, right after I picked him back on my fantasy team...

Vazenkov was injured through out that entire Kings season, he never really had a good chance, he could have had with the Raptors, but he didn't want to. Vazenkov is super unique player, who is like most dominant Euroleague player in stats, while not having any one on one skills at all basically. I have never seen a guy who is so much better at 5 v 5 than what would he be at 1 v 1, its insane.

April 2nd for the Knicks is brutal.

Dillon Jones waived by the Wizards. Not surprised. Thunder gave him so many undeserved minutes on a stacked team and he looked like ass. Got send to Washington and didn't work even harder. Good luck pal.
