Said it before but damn really wish we could’ve just kept Holmes somehow. Handling starter minutes like a boss with Bagley out for Sacramento.

I've always has a soft spot for players who don't have that skill level of a true starter but are smart enough, physical enough to play a role really well. I had a soft spot for PJ Tucker too. Tucker was underappreciated when we got rid of him because he didn't fit the timeline any more and then he ended up being the perfect small ball 4 for multiple teams. I feel the same for Holmes when we let him walk.

At this point, the Lakers have to be the heavy favorite to win this thing. AD and Lebron are just coasting around. When the playoffs come and Lebron turns it up another gear, they're going to sweep through the playoff. The AD/Lebron pnr is basically unstoppable.

The Clippers depth will be tough though, and both Kawhi and George have the length to bother people. I would have never wanted an LA/LA matchup, but that one would certainly be an interesting one. Of course I'd prefer Denver and us in the WCF, or Denver and Utah maybe...but that's unlikely.

Sure, I prefer us too 8-)

LA barring injuries looking like a well oiled machine, the combo of James and Davis is unreal and the rest of the roster is playing excellent too.
So yes, it seems that LA vs LAC is the most likely WCF.

Josh Jackson suspended from G league play. When you thought it couldn't get any worse for him.

Word is Josh blew off the team meeting.

Grizz fans on twitter are pissed.

I still see Jackson as a NBA backup player in the future. He still has size, athleticism to play in this league unfortunately.

Gonna have a Corey Brewer type career imo.

I don't know about that. Maybe he eventually gets his head on straight but I think there's a better chance hes in China within the next 18 months than he becomes a rotation guy.

When you're a role player you just can't be a pain in the ass to deal with. Team will put up with a lot with good players but not so good players get no such leeway.

If he goes to China he'll probably end up in some chinese prison.

This hurts for 2 reasons. Kings losing would help the Suns and refs blew another game for the Mavs. Already 2nd this year.

Well, either losing could potentially help the Suns. But yeah, we've been screwed by a lot of calls, and I think Luka often gets the benefit of the doubt and a lot of calls go his way. Can't get em all.

Bjelica is the most hated man in Texas. They just banned him from ever visiting their state. Pretty crazy, huh?

Ja Morant, if his body can hold up, is going to be ridiculous. Love Rubio, but I would kill to have this kid. This kid is going to be special.

If this is true and their plans didnt change even being in a playoff spot, OKC will not contend for the playoffs at the end.
