Rightfully so, there shouldn't be any games today. The world will remember this historic basketball icon as long as the game exists. May he rest in p...

Put in for under 1 drink

I'll still prefer that then having to endure Leo actively complaining and upset when guys from the opposing team make a bad play, or worse when a guy...

Shit we'll all be passed out before half time....

I was typing my post above before you said it, but that's pretty much it (we thought the same thing)...

Thing is, coaches know what makes different guys tick. Between practices, games, film sessions, travel time etc, coaches end up learning a lot about each...

I think he'd be a decent target too. Seasoned vet, always shot the ball well from 3 (39% over 10 years), would give at least 10ppg per night and 5 dimes...

Couple of interesting tidbits:

--Lowry finished ahead of Irving on both media and player votes, but behind in fan votes. (Thought it'd be...

[inthepaint]

I thought he was "okay" today (when compared to the team's worst players). You see, golden, his advanced stats are kinda meh so that's all that...

[inthepaint]

Oh for sure. It's a positional dogma on a positionless league. Reminiscent of the old Casey double and triple PG lineups with lots of Corey Joseph, Delon...

[inthepaint]

Yep. Either that or Nurse adapts and adjust his rotation to fit the roster we have. Ideally, both McCaw's and Lowry's minutes would go down (for different...

My Nurse-McCaw theory is this:
1. Nurse sees this team as only having 3 true ballhandlers: Lowry, Fred and McCaw (even though Davis, Norm and Siakam...

Some of it is luck, but ultimately, he's applying an age-old principle: effort/hustle/work ethic/staying power/grind etc. (let's call it heart for simplicity)...

[inthepaint]

It's okay to talk players/coaches/teams up and down as it relates to basketball. That's what the vast majority of the forum does and that's what it's...

[inthepaint]

Yeah those are really nice numbers. To have that kinda production with zero turnovers combined between all of them is impressive....

I wish we had a SG shooting ~40% from deep, that was also explosive in transition, athletic, lengthy, had good touch around the rim, able to switch onto...

[inthepaint]

I don't think the Rockets are in a position of weakness. They're playing .650 ball, have one of the best offensive players in history, and they didn't...

[inthepaint]

I like the idea of moving McCaw but I don't think that's a deal Houston would be interested on at all. Capela and Tucker are starters for them. They're...

There are two types of people in this world: those who don't understand the grind, and those who do.

Another outstanding game by Norm, leading the team in scoring for the second game in a row off the bench, he's been on an absolute tear this year. Shooting...
