Around the NBA 2019-20

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.

Yeah if presti finds a deal that can help them long-term he'll make it.

Now I also wouldn't rule out them going the complete opposite direction if a really good player hit the market and putting together a package with some of those picks becoming buyers.

Interesting night, playoff watch.

Thunder @ Kings
Jazz @ Timberwolves

Man, Sabonis is awesome. Every time I look at his #s, they are great. Always scored on high efficiency. Tonight his efficiency isn't as well as usual but he has 14 rebounds and 8 assists with like 5 minutes left.

Kings are just too clutch, I dont know how many games they have already won at the clutch. They are in playoffs at the 7th spot after tonight.

[Revived]

Kings deserve playoffs. I can see them moving past Houston in the standings eventually.

Luke Walton has that team playing some unbelievable defense. Their offense is hit or miss most nights but they are a legitimate team because of their defense.

Such GREAT shooting with few off nights between Hield, Bogs and Bjelica. Holmes on fire too....could have used him for 3rd C and had his cap hold...but maybe didn't want to pay him what Sac could and couldn't anticipate Ayton cheating and Baynes being injured on top of that.

But of course they are missing Fox and Bagley. Need to beat them rest of h2h games and hope they lose to some bad teams...well, as many teams as possible.

I’m not even worried about catching them in the standings anymore, their gonna go up from #7 and on.

I’d be more worried about keeping Minnesota, OKC, Portland and San Antonio off the #8 spot.

I don't know. They faded last year down the stretch. You never know. Plus, they have decent backup PGs and Bjelica is probably better than Bagley right now so Bagley isn't a huge loss. Fox is their biggest loss but I think they have been able to withstand that a lot better than us losing Ayton and then Baynes for 9 games since not only are their backups experienced and solid enough, but because they have pretty good passing from Bogs (4 apg) and Hield (almost 3 apg). Even Bjelica and Barnes are around 2.5 apg.

Yeah looks like Vlade isn’t as bad a GM as people thought he was.

The Holmes signing might be the 2nd best bargain signing of the entire last summer behind only Brogdon (who should’ve got the max easily).

This. Bagley is a lot better than I thought he would be and a huge piece for them long-term but short term he wasn't a big loss for them.

Fox too in a way, he's awesome but he's still a young PG with growing pains and bad shooting nights. Joseph is a solid vet backup and fox being out put the ball in Bogdans hands more and he was killing it for a bit.

FOr what it's worth, Kings right now is playing the way we were playing earlier in the season, with effort, toughness and desire.

[Dual]

Western Conference Standings 1 to 8 at the end of the year imo:
1 LAL
2 LAC
3 DAL
4 DEN
5 HOU
6 SAC
7 UTAH
8 SUNS

It all can change with trades ofc.

Memphis winning Milwaukee in 4th quarter without Morant and Clarke. They are fighters that's for sure.

[bwgood77]

Man, Memphis beating Milwaukee midway through the 4th. Makes me feel a little better about the loss. JJJ is a stud. 35 pts and 8 3s on 14 attempts.

Crazy think is Morant and Clarke not even playing.

Dillon Brooks playing well. Would have been nice if that original trade went through with the Brooks we thought we were getting.

I don’t understand how the hell we lost to Utah, their in a super close game at home against the Warriors team that’s resting Russel and Draymond.

[bwgood77]

Looks like the Kings are going to lose to the Knicks.

[SunsRback4Good]

If Suns lost at home versus Knicks everybody here would go insane. Glad its them and not us.
