Sprewell is at court side in the Lakers-Knicks games. Must be a guest of the team.

But can you imagine the Warriors honoring him as part of the 75th anniversary celebrations, which have been going on at each home game?

Actually, no, I can't. Are they gonna invite Chris Webber too? Derek Fisher? Chris Washburn?

Of course not, given the way Sprewell and Webber left the team.

They were undeniably talented players though.

What about Jamal Wilkes or Gus Williams, who played well for the team, left them for other teams.

Or Gilbert Arenas, who left because the team bungled his contract. Can't recall if Gilbert was here for one or two seasons but for awhile, before the injury, he was the dominant guard in the league.

Sprewell was a talented player and fun to watch, especially during the Nelson era when the ball was moving. However, the James-Harden-lite years of Sprewell isolations was like no-anesthesia dental surgery.

Danuel House has occasional good games for the Rockets too.

Personally I'd like to see a Bimbo reunion.

Sacto Vs LAL an instant classic.

Classically bad that is!

Sacto can beat LAL is fun.

I feel a little bad about it but I do really enjoy the Lakers struggling. The thing is that they do have 3 players who can just decide to win the game and have a reasonable chance of doing it ... it makes me enjoy it more when none of them do, or when they try and fail.

Which current and recent retired NBA players should go into TV?

For me that is JJ Reddick, Draymond Green, and Giannis.

I REALLY hope LeBron doesn't.

I also hope Kendrick Perkins stops

Timberwolves Leandro Bolmaro. Had him top ten in the draft. After spending a year overseas, he has been called up after two strong games in the gleague. Keep an eye out!

Our favorite ex-Warrior D-Lo having an absolutely huge game in the clutch for Minny.

KD bricked some key shots during crunch time tonight when the Nets were making their comeback.

It's a petty thing, but for some reason, the wispy, fuzzy hair on the back of Trae Young's head bugs me.

Hornets have 4 players entering protocols led by Ball and Rozier.

They could miss as many as 10 days.

Hornets are going to play 5 games in that span, 4 of them vs. current playoff teams.

They’ve played well but are on a current 3 game losing streak, the last one a last minute 2 point loss at Milwaukee.

Well it’s still relatively early and they’re currently #7 in the EC despite the losing streak. But they’re just 1 game ahead of being #11 or two games from being #3 seed.

Tough situation but if they had two starters miss 10 games in April, it would be more dire for playoffs contention.

Or losing players while in the playoffs.

Warriors better push their players to keep up with boosters and stay out of the clubs and bars, especially on road tips. They got a lot to lose if they have a couple of rotation players enter the protocol for 10 days.

It's not gonna make it. He'll need some help at some point.

Is Cleveland legit? They play good teams tough (narrow losses to Utah, Phoenix and Brooklyn x2 recently) and they just beat Miami/Dallas/Washington who are all peers of theirs.

The Rubio/Garland/Markkanen/Mobley/Allen lineup has been productive and the current starting lineup (the most used) has a +11.1 rating. Sexton has been an addition by subtraction so far as every replacement lineup has improved without him from what I can tell.

They are 7th in the East, 3.5 back from first but they are probably better than DC and Boston, and Miami without Bam so i could see them finishing in the top 5.
