Grizzlies are planning to retire Zach Randolph's number tonight. Curry attempting to break Ray Allen's 3 point record needing just 10 to overtake him. Also, Bulls face the Heat. Should be a good night of basketball tonight.

I didn't expect he would have a long career before he was drafted. Watching those videos about the gait in his walk, his sheer size at his height and his explosiveness just didn't quite add up to long career. Playing as many games as he did last season was already a bit of a surprise to me. I thought it would be more of a start, stop, start, stop kind of season where he'd play a handful of games then go down for a couple for "soreness" then play another handful of games.

The guy really needs to keep his weight in check. I know it's easier said than done but if he wants to have a respectable NBA career, it's what he's gonna have to do and I'm pulling for him because the NBA needs talent like him

Yeah, I've said prior to that draft that I would sell that pick to the highest bidder - or try to do a draft day trade for Morant + whatever, like the Magic did with CWebb/Penny back in the day... I wasn't sure that Morant was gonna be this good, but I was sure that Zion is out of the league after a short, rocky and subpar (expectations wise for sure) career with that body.

You can kiss this dude goodnight. Or get him a surgery where they put a baloon in the stomach so he always feels full and eats very little... (no disrespect, one of my old friends had that done and it worked for him... he was a very good tennis player even in college, then he stopped b/c of injury and life, so he got real fat and had some hormonal problems so he couldn't lose weight no matter what, which messed up his blood pressure, heart etc... so he had this surgery, and he managed to lose the weight, then the other problems normalised slowly as well)

That's more than the Clippers, Magic, Wizards, Pistons, Nets, Suns, Celtics, Knicks or Hawks have gotten from undrafted players all season.

Heat are flying under the radar. Many think they won't get far but I can see them making ECF maybe even the finals. This team quietly added tif hree players who all won a ring in past 3 years in Morris, Lowry and Tucker. They'll be a difficult out for Bucks and Nets.

Yep! There a very tough team with great floor spacers and players that fill their roles perfectly. If healthy, I see them giving Milwaukee all sorts of problems. Would love to find a way to possibly steal Yurtseven away from them. :wink:

Lakers dependent on less athletic Ty Jerome to win them a game in OT vs Doncic-less Mavs. LOL

Raptors killed Warriors, but they rested Curry, Green and Wiggins.

Warriors rookies played quite a bit though. Kuminga with 26 on 60% (9-15) shooting and 67% from 3 (4-6) along with a couple steals and assists.

Moody with 11, 8, 3 asst and a block though didn't shoot well.

Nets rested stars against Magic and lost.

Trade season is upon us, Simmons situation is still not moving forward. If it did Sixers could be contenders...
Simmons + Reed for Ingram and Kira Lewis, balance it out with draftpicks whichever way you like - who says no?

The Pelicans say no. Ingram is the better player and Simmons next to Zion wouldn't be a good fit at all.

Over 70 players in the protocol which is about 1 in 6.

Who are you pulling for in finals?
