Imagine if you're Sacramento/Phoenix/Kings right now.

Great to see that you can still have some exciting moments in the bubble since I was hesitant you could. It's all going to intensify as the postseason progresses.

Looks like we'll still have about a week off, even if Toronto wins.
NBA most likely wants all the series to start around the same time.

Trae Young though.


Imagine if you gave up five or six first round picks (or whatever it was) and SGA for Paul "Mr Playoffs" George?

Lowry busted ankle, will not return. Idk how bad it is but it's worth keeping an eye out for it. He looked to be in quite a bit of pain.

Raps really need to try to win this one with Lowry out. As for Lowry isn't he often hurt with something but often plays?

Luka has the same swagger as Larry Bird minus the reckless physical play that made Larry unique. I think he and Tatum are going to join Giannis and Donovan as the best of the generation (25 and under).
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

it's likely what was supposed to be the other team because Sacramento and kings are the same team, just a lil typo.

Trae doesn't belong in the same sentence with Luka.

I was going to reply to this saying I don't think Donovan has what it takes to get there but it looks like he really did increase his efficiency this year.

That's tough to do at 6'1" so good on him.

Yeah I think the cream of the 25 and under in no particular order can be filled out by

Greak Freak
Luka
Trae Young (he's putting up 30 ppg and 10aspg guys)

drop down to the non MVP tier
Towns (best shooting big in NBA history... yet always loses. Sounds like a young Dirk)
Ben Simmons
Tatum
Donovan
Ingram
Ja Morant
Zion (don't think he jumps to the next tier like everyone says he will due to inconsistency)
Booker
Bam Bam Adebayo
