The **** biggest mistake in the history of the franchise.

Even the very best NBA exec (and HOF player) thinks the world of him.

I had just read that off the GB. Hopefully we get some praise for Ayton like that from a legend.

I was hoping for maybe Charles Barkley. I remember him barking about how stupid the Suns would be to pass on Ayton and take Doncic instead. That’s when I knew the latter would end up the better player.

But even Barkley has jumped on the Luka train. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him go on one of Gambo’s radio interviews and rip the Suns for passing on him when he himself suggested that they do that.

Barkley probably didn't even see 5 minutes of Doncic. Gambo better not get any more info from that "anonymous" scout of his.

Mitchell Robinson or Robert Williams?

That was my two man draft in 2018 - Doncic + Robinson/Robert Williams

Losing consecutive games to direct 8th seed contenders during the supposedly easy stretch of games. Yeah, the sky is falling now.

I was wondering how Bender was doing in Milw, and he has been doing pretty well on their GLeague team. 21 pts 9.2 rbds per game in nine games. 50/40/80 for percents in shooting. It will suck to watch a draft pick thrive in another place, like Bogdan. https://behindthebuckpass.com/2020/01/06/milwaukee-bucks-dragan-bender-shines-on-assignment-with-wisconsin-herd/

It's because of the injures.

It's really worth the watch if you have time.

This just happened after Warren fouled Butler:



Both of them got T'd up. Right after that Butler got called with offensive foul for going with his shoulder into Warren. Then Warren started taunting him by clapping in his face and got ejected with his 2nd T.

It looks like at one point he's yelling at Butler - I'll beat your *ss. This was fun to see live haha

It seems like you'd have to have some balls to taunt Butler like that. Guy is crazy. I honestly am not sure I can see anyone on our current team doing that. Maybe Baynes, but he mostly just plays tough and stays calm despite playing tough.

Damn, the Pelicans crushed the Bulls. Ingram with 29, 11 ast, 8, reb and 2 blocks. Jaxson Hayes had 14, 12 and 4 blocks.

For the Bulls though, Thaddeus Young did have a good game, with 18, 6 reb, 3 stl, 2 ast, 3 3s.

Ingram would've been a perfect of for us. He just keeps improving and getting better. Also, Pels and Gruszlies have a good future ahead of them. Both teams are young and filled with young talent.

He would be perfect on a lot of teams. He's a legit all-star level player now. I didn't expect him to be this good, honestly.

This is like the highlight of his career. More fans are now talking about him than ever before.

Crazy how Warren’s been a really solid player especially the last few years but other than die hard basketball fans, nobody probably knows who the hell he is.

Jaxson Hayes is basically the player everyone hoped Willie Cauley Stein would be. I like his game.

Texas gets a lot of C's in the NBA, some playing really well. Hayes, Jarrett Allen, Myles Turner, Bamba...then Aldridge if you think of him as more of a C.

Butler's got that Mamba/MJ mentality
