Clippers got some work to do. They def need Lou and Harrell to win the chip
Lakers as a unit looked great. AD took that game over and LeBron finished it off in the 4th. That's their recipe for success

Detroit bought the Northern Arizona Suns and plans on moving them to the Detroit area next year.
So, they're ditching the Grand Rapids Drive, and I guess the Drive will become a team that anyone can affiliate with?

I love the internet on sports.
On Washington and RGIII: They ruined this kid over a wildcard spot.
On New Orleans and Zion: Minutes restriction? WTF? Let him play!!
While I know there is a balance to be found between being flippant with the future of your franchise's health and being overprotective, they're basically in similar situations. Zion is a guy whose game is based on being explosive with two knee procedures in the last 16 months playing for a chance to get smoked by a LA team in round 1.

Smart on Pelicans for not trying to risk it all for a playoff spot That team has such a bright young future. Lonzo is a perfect compliment for that team, Ingram has finally become baby Durant and Zion is right now a walking bucket as he scores efficiently. I love Holiday but still think they need to flip him while he is worth something. Their cap space is going to be insane as Ingram would be the only guy with a max deal on the roster when they flip Holiday but they don't really have to only if it makes sense |

BI is gonna get his. Lonzo is gonna want a lot, but tough shit. Maybe learn to make a FT or two. |

I'm letting Lonzo walk if he ask for the bag after next season. 4 years $44-$50 mill is where i'd be comfortable with him. He'd get some financial security and still young enough to cash in on a bigger deal but most likely someone will offer him a max (looking at the Knicks if get his brother) They have a nice young squad and only need to pick up vets who compliment the team like they did with Favors and Reddick. |

Zo needs to take less to stay with the Pels, because it's such a perfect fit. Way better than LA. But I know he won't. Redick is such a weird case. Everyone hated him at Duke, now he's the scrappy underdog role player. His game hasn't changed a bit, but his public perception is a 180. |

Everyone hated him at Duke, now he's the scrappy underdog role player. His game hasn't changed a bit, but his public perception is a 180. $11-$15 mill per year is not a bad investment and it would get Lonzo a decent deal along with Pelicans not having to break cap to keep him. They need to maximize this year while Zion is on a rookie deal JJ struggled early on and that helped perception a bit because it humbled him. I think the same can happen to Grayson Allen. Spent a few seasons in the G League now and if he models Reddick game he can be in the league a long time |

Spent a few seasons in the G League now and if he models Reddick game he can be in the league a long time Yeah, but Grayson is different. Redick was always a hard-working, gritty gym rat. He was just also a star player in college. Grayson was never a star, always a cocky, dirty prick with a pucnhable face not unlike Adam Cole's. Allen was also really athletic and could dunk, was never the shooter Redick was. Grayson can turn it around, but they are very different dudes. Redick, like I said, basically didn't change at all. Everyone else just changed their opinion of him. Which is the nice thing about hard work, eventually someone notices. |

Dame passing up the last shot to kick it out to Melo is definitely a decision. Not a good decision, not really a bad decision either. Deplorable maybe. Unforgivable, yes.

This is the most i've ever seen Melo not try to control the ball If he did this earlier he'd not gotten a bad rap the last 5 years |

But Dame knows who he is. Just take the shot. |

Go Kings I guess. Idk, I’m completely uninterested in the restart. Mostly because of Vlade and his awfulness. Can’t get over him wasting the #2 pick in a loaded draft.
