    giannis's difficulties shooting are occasionally problematic for his superstar status. but yeah, he's the least of their problems.

    Giannis is my favorite player to watch right now so I've been watching a lot of Bucks games. Kidd's defensive schemes are awful, like really bad. Offensively he relies too much on Giannis and there's little to no player movement when he posts up at the three point line. Bucks fans always compare Kidd to Marc Jackson but without the positives.

    The OKC trade package for PG has been amazing for the Pacers so far.

    Yet, we were all laughing at the Pacers for taking that "crap deal"...

    Oladipo has definitely been great for them. I was laughing at the talent/contract ratio in that trade too though. They could have gotten Randle (who I think would have been giving them similar to what he's given us) and a first rounder or two.

    Honestly they might have had Randle/Kuzma/Clarkson over there. Could that have been enough to off-set this newfound Oladipo?

    Wonder what we would look like with George Hill instead of KCP.

    Well... If you signed on to that team expecting the playoffs, that's your fault isn't it? The Kings are of course not competing for the playoffs.

    they also got sabonis, who may be better than randle by himself right now. i'd say they look smarter than me at this moment. though i'm not sure they thought oladipo would put up numbers like this on a potential playoff team. one or the other, but not both.

    yeah, that's kinda rich. it's ok to admit that no one offered you cash, so you took sac's deal. this is clearly an attempt to get himself dealt (the 15th approaches...). which i think was the plan from the get go.

    Even worse having 2 kids that were family to Lakers players caught shoplifting and creating the international incident in China instead of one?

    Thunder beat the Sixers in 3OT. Right after Westbrook is waving at Embiid, fake smiling, saying “bye, bye, go home”. I love that guys don’t like Embiid, because I can’t stand him, talks way too much for a guy that’s played like 60 games in 4 years.

    for as many players that hate, just as many ride with him. a very polarizing player to say the least

    love embiid's game, dislike his public persona. the recent article about him painted him as trolling, sort of suggesting that he just likes to get a rise out of people. i only partially believe that.

    Agreed. Where did this Sabonis guy come from? No one saw that happening.

    Kings are building for the future. This year is looking rough.
