Embiid is absolutely scary now that his conditioning looks great. He's the MVP this season for me, and man, I do not want to face him in the playoffs. It just seems like he'll wreck whoever's in his way.

Poor Hayward just injured THE ankle again. I hope it's just a sprain. Looked pretty bad.

Snakebit wherever he goes. At least he got that last contract. Can just enjoy time with his family if he wants to retire early.

The "be careful what you wish for" or "the grass isn't always greener" AWARD should go to Cam Reddish. He probably made his unhappiness known in Atlanta with his not enough playing time or starting whatever, and now he is on the NYK barely getting playing time. 15 minutes tonight off the bench after some DNPs.

Imagine doing this on the Celtics and not getting the ball or getting the ball a second too late.

The only Celtic I can remember ever moving like this was Ray Allen. before he died, I was hoping Nesmith could do this. :o :(

Yeah, it's just bad luck at this point. Even his ankle injury in the bubble playoffs seemed fluky. I hope this doesn't end his season.

I'm pretty sure Duncan has spent a decent amount of time studying film of guys like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Rip Hamilton.

Good to see Duncan (from New Castle, NH) doing well.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

This is pretty cool. It's what sports is all about. Clearly Murray has overcome the odds, he's worked his a&& to get where he is and now he's an all-star. Good for him.

Turns out, Pop is sticking around as coach not only long enough to get the all-time coaching wins record, but he also wanted to stick around long enough to see Murray make all-star team.

Oh, and this is cool too:

Not cool for Julius Randle to do this:

Even more un-cool that the video coordinator whose laptop he slapped is Scott King, former standout at D-I Stony Brook, who's from Derry, NH and played at Pinkerton Academy and Holderness School in NH:

The Kings just can't win at 3 card Monte. See Sabonis trade. Gave up Haliburton, Hield and our old pal Tristan Thompson.

I feel like the Kings owner just likes to watch fans suffer.
