I am not sure if it matters that Randle had possession on the way up after Kyrie blocked it and then put the ball on the ground on his way down from his jump? Maybe that doesn't matter but Thibs wasn't arguing it. Maybe he agreed with the call?

You very rarely see anybody try what Randal did.

Hammond keeps on Hammonding.

Orlando's core has been together since the Magic acquired Ross midway through the 2016-17 season, and all they have to show for it is a pair of first-round playoff exits. The hopes the team had of taking a step forward this season were shattered by injuries to Jonathan Isaac and Markelle Fultz, among others, leaving the Magic far behind even the expanded playoff field.

And yet, in the days leading up to the deadline, it's still unclear whether Orlando will significantly shake up the roster, even with a quartet of players who could bring back significant future considerations that could help them in healthier times.

"I can't figure those guys out," said a West scout. "I don't know if they'll do anything."

Hammond wants to stay in the middle of the pack because that's where you draft the next Giannis.

To me, Clarkson is the scariest player on Utah.

Also, he assuredly realizes that if the team bottoms out and acquires any future assets, he won't be the one to use them. He didn't get to where he is without some degree of saavy.

Houston is about to lose their 17th in a row and they're still 3 games ahead of Minnesota

Ben Simmons is allowed to be pretty handsy when guarding guys on the perimeter.

Dame/Blazers have stolen so many games this season.

That Lonzo pass to Zion at the end was ridiculous.

KPJ running the point looks intriguing. Cavs fumbled that trade.

KPJ shouldn’t even be in the league. His record speaks for itself. I don’t blame the Cavs for not wanting him around anymore. The league turning a blind eye is par for the course

Here at Chonestown HQ, we observe St. Patrick's Day with a taste of the rye, viewings of "The Departed" and we cycle this mixtape on loop.

Watch on YouTube

May the spirit of James McNulty live inside all of us today.

Thinking they could try that a few times per game if they wanted. Made it look easy.

The things that make me right for posting on this forum, maybe those are the things that make me wrong for everything else.

I watched a good chunk of Pels/Por 1H too. First, Dame continues to be nuts. Second, pretty soon I'm gonna have to accept Lonzo's shooting as real. Last year started good then fell apart so expected the hot start to be a fluke but he looks confident and smooth on it. Pretty soon will have to chalk up as one I was off on.

Still not sure I think he's good enough to be like one of your top 3 players on a title contender type team (aside from a freak top 2 like LBJ/AD), which once he's on his next contract he'd have to be, but he is still young and his IQ and all that seems good so some situations could probably work out well.

Much of the improvement comes from his C&S number. If that's sustainable, he'd be a great fit next to Giannis. Too bad we couldn't work him into the Jrue trade.

Ariza to heat for meyers "nazi" leonard.

Meyers Leonard looking likely to be waived by OKC...will be interesting to see if a team takes a flier on him

WeekapaugGroove · Post #300 » by **WeekapaugGroove** » Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:00 pm

Ariza hasn't actually been good in years. He should probably be in jail for theft for his time in Phoenix where he took a big one year deal to be a 'vet leader' and actually tried for litterally 1 game before saying **** it and completely quitting.
