Kangz went full Kangz tonight and allowed the **** Knicks to get 140 without any OT!!!

Oh, and the Nets are our only hope against LeBron's 5th ring, because the Clippers just ain't it.

It takes two. Even for LeBron.

Schroder has also been out, so it's not just that AD went down. They're 2nd and 3rd best players are out and Wes Matthews while still playing, might as well not be. Dude's been pulling the Tony Snell out there. Just a ghost.

dennis schroeder has NOT been good this season

If that's the case, the Bulls ought to be all over Christian Wood

Easily one of the worst plays I've ever seen.

Kenny is blaming Murray instead of the 3 clowns who all ran into the same corner. MPJ had a dunk.

Hell I only blame Murray for not lofting a pass towards the rim. Force these dummies into the paint.

That is grade A braindead level basketball right there. :lol:

The look on Murray's face after he passed it and looked at the 3 guys over there tells it all.

Damn 4 guys on a fast break and nobody goes to the basket? Including the 6' 10" guy?

Lonzo with another strong game vs the Bucks

20pts 8ast 1stl 1blk 50% on 14 shots 6 of 10 from 3 and only 1 turn over.

Watching him though a lot of his assists came.from pick and roll and lobs to Zion... And the major concern about him on our roster is who in the hell would roll to the rim like that for us???

How does Luke Walton still have a job? Is it still because of the season where he "coached" the Warriors? He’s shown absolutely zero signs of being a competent NBA head coach since.

Not saying the Kings should be good, but they should definitely be better than this. And last year he was probably even worse.

Eh.

1) Make basket, go to overtime, 50% chance of winning.
2) Take the open 3 pointer, what's the percentage of making that? Not much below 50%, I should think. And if it does go it, game over.

The percentages are pretty close. I'd take the layup, too, but the media is blowing this up into a major issue when the decision perhaps took 5% away from Denver's chance of winning.

Wendell and Gafford can both roll to the rim pretty well, although not of course like Zion. IF we want that level of player, we need to find another All Star.

Yesterday was Noah's birthday - good time to go back to the KG trash talking story, this time from Ray Allen's perspective

Yeah these are some of the worst plays I have ever seen. I hate the 3 happy league but whatever I guess I have college ball and soccer if I wanna see actual variety of team style.

shot making and handles are far superior across the board with todays player, but fundamentals is one thing they fall short on. Everyone knows how to run the high pnr and shoot deep 3's but the basics of the game just are not there.

College players can run better plays. Which is f weird. Because nobody has today fundamentals of how basketball is played. I mean they have in theory but most of them can't execute it on high level. That's why team like Jazz today basically dominating despite having two and half players worth mentioning. They just executing.

Most of NBA teams all they know how to play is PnR. Because that's all they need to know. PnR, stand in corner, move in open spot behind 3pt line if defense collapses. There is no variety no identities how certain team plays. Everyone plays same and try do same. Like basketball is mathematic equation and can only be solven that way.

It's a f BASKETBALL. It's a SPORT. It's nothing less or more.

That’s certainly one way to say that you don’t watch other teams play. Lost it at the terrible Jazz take.

I dont think you got my point, but whatever float your boat. I never said Jazz play this way or that was. I am just saying they executing fundamentals right way because they have fundamentally sound players. And then you have this above example where they have no idea what to do when it's not something else than what I said.

Inside the NBA is the best, dont tell TNT this but i would pay a subscription just to watch that show.

You said they have "two and half players worth mentioning", which is ridiculous.
