Giannis on his sixth foul for the second straight game. In fairness this was OT but yeah this game has been insane Miami kept trying to give the game away. Tough loss for Bucks who had a close to 20 point lead |

Man, Miami seriously needs to improve their FT shooting, but the media can keep sleeping on us. We about to be ruining someone's day come the post-season.

My thing with Giles is, he's been living off his potential since his senior year in high school where he was the number 1 overall recruit arguably and def the best PF/C coming out of high school So essentially, since he was 17-18 these injuries have been a problem and he's now 21. Still a young man but the question is can his body hold up to the rigorous NBA schedule. He's dominated in the G League and had a couple good games in the NBA but this big star potential is something I personally don't see I think he ends up like Okafor having to prove himself as a backup in the league. Easy to forget Jahlil is only 23 years old right now and was lauded is a big time NBA player and was also the number 1 recruited player out his class. He also performed in college which is why he was picked very high due to his potential Intangibles and IQs off the charts my man. Not something you’d notice in box scores, more if you’re watching him every single night. Also has an intensity and mean streak which I love. The rate at which he fixed his own errors. Getting better, changing his mistakes right in front of your eyes from one game to the next. The guy who choked in his NBA debut games was nowhere to be seen following his quick GLeague stint. He learned, adapted, and put it into use right away. I know I’m probably only setting myself up for disappointment. But something has to break right for Sacramento eventually and I’m hoping it’s this kid. — Anyways, he’s been upgraded from OUT with no timetable to DOUBTFUL so the season debut is on the horizon. We shall see. |

We shall see. Can't watch him if he doesn't play A ton of big men have mean streaks matched with intensity and IQ. Kurt Thomas, Malik Rose, Brendan Haywood, Nene all serviceable big men in the NBA for a lot of years. He's still a project and not a finished product but as of right now he's a tier behind the young up and coming big men in the league like Mitchell Robinson, DeAndre Ayton, Wendall Carter, Jared Jackson, Bam Adebayo etc I'd happily be wrong but i'm not saying he's trash. I'm saying your expectations of him being on the tier of Bagley/Fox is off. He's not their 3rd star imo. I think he will be a good piece for them but I don't see him standing up top as a driving force behind a Kings resurgence |

Ball, Hart, and Ingram seem to love it in New Orleans. The offense looks good, and hasn't had much time to gel yet. They might not make the playoffs this year, but that team is gonna be really good if Zion can keep his health in check.

They have a really good young team that teams hope to draft or build around Now, the problem is both Ball and Ingram are a few years into the league. Do you let Ingram walk and not sign him to what might cost you a max contract if you think you can get someone else Same question with Ball will arise after next season |

I understand Blazers and Utah are top of the West competition but Kings should be more competitive than this to open the season.A close game vs Blazers and two blow outs is not going to cut it
Missing Bagley is rough but y'all got good depth so Walton has to figure something out. You do not want to fall behind early in the West

Pelicans can score their ass off but they can't play a lick of defense

Do you let Ingram walk and not sign him to what might cost you a max contract if you think you can get someone else Same question with Ball will arise after next season Ball is exactly the type of player they've wanted to run this pace. No more Rondo or Payton, they have an ideal fast break PG. Ingram was a buy-low and he is showing there's still a glimmer of hope that he can be a baby KD (which is funny because KD is a baby.) Honestly, I know that team more than anyone needs a veteran presence, but I'd deal Jrue if possible. I know he's kinda the franchise with AD gone, but the window matches up well with Ball, Zion, Ingram, Hayes, and Hart all in the same age range. Ball probably won't cost a ton, and if Ingram's scoring goes down when Jrue/Zion return, he may not be a max. They should try hard to keep that young core together, especially with that draft pick situation. |

You do not want to fall behind early in the West Bagley is out and Fox isn't 100%. Most teams don't look good with 1.5 of their big 3. |

You do not want to fall behind early in the West Not pity posting here, my honest thoughts are they are nowhere near as good as they showed pre-ASB last season. It was fool’s gold (something I’ve said multiple times) The second teams figured out the Kings couldn’t play real basketball they crashed back down to earth. They aren’t this bad. I think... But .500 was a generous estimate on my part. Looking more like a 30 win team. |

They should try hard to keep that young core together, especially with that draft pick situation. I don't see them letting Ingram or Ball go but they will most likely have to pay the price to keep them. I don't see max contracts but both guys will cost them $15-$20 mill each a season most likely Jrue is gone at some point and they can get back another young player off a good team or a first round pick. The team wants to preach Jrue is the leader but I also think they want Zion and by extension Ball and Ingram to be the leading forces of this team and as long as Jrue is around they will lean on him Reddick and Favors should fetch them back something as well. They are in a really good situation as far as being able to have patience while also having assets they could move. They may f*** around and be in a position again where they could draft top 10 and get another piece |

I still think they are a at max 47 win team but they have to get better and find a identity Fox (and Bagley when he returns) have to take a next step for this team to reach where they want to be |

Westbrook has his first triple double as a Rocket. He will probably average another triple double for the fourth straight year and it will be meaningless if they don’t get a ring.
