IMO not the worst let's say third option on bigs to have on a roster...

They're all as bad as the others, lol.  I see nothing currently in the buyout market that would cause a roster move.

That's one of the more crazier stat-lines I've ever seen. Not the 40/10 but the fact he only missed 2 shots doing it. 

Didn't know Turner had that microwave scorer trait.

Sadly his new-found scoring ability goes along with a slight decline on defense. It´s not a Mavs only trend that increased offensive volume/role tends to go along with less effort on the defensive end.
Isiah Joe of the Thunder is a sniper. Don't see how or why Philly waived him.
Kawhi is on a tear right now. Just scored 18 in the 3rd and is sitting on 38 points in the 4th. Dude has only missed 2 shots so far. 

He's a monster.
THIS CLIPPERS - KINGS GAME IS ONE OF THE CRAZIEST GAMES I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

HOLY CRAP
The Kings freaking did it. I cannot believe they managed to win that game.

They came back down 8 like 3 times with 1:30 remaining in the 4th, and both OTs.
clippers are overrated imho. they strengthened their squad  with trade & pickups from buyout market. they look stacked now but they ain't showing the dominance they are supposed to have. maybe they can develop a bit chemistry with the new signings and begin to dominate just in time when the playoffs start. their talent level may be better than ours but our boys in blue make a better team than what the clippers currently are.

That was an incredibly fun game....and I only saw the first half.  Both teams looked great.  The pace was awesome.    For the Kings, Huerter was such a great low key trade.   I know he didn't have an impressive game, but I just like how he looks out there.   Fox is awesome.  I was a huge fan when he entered the draft but didn't love his progress the last few years.   I guess exhibit A why you give young players time if they are hard workers.

I was really interested to see the new Clippers.  It is only one half of one game that I saw.  I thought Westbrook looked good.   The key for him is can he play within himself game in, game out.  Plumlee also looked good.   It will be interesting to see who he takes minutes from.   Batum?  I actually really like Batum when he is on the floor.   Gordon looked absolutely cooked on defense.  He just couldn't move.   Something to watch.   In the first half, he couldn't stay in front of anyone.

It really was. Both teams literally couldn't miss. Kawhi lit up the 3rd like he was prime MJ.

I think Brown's Warriors-lite offense plays so well with the strengths of Sabonis, Fox, and Heurter. They're a really fun team, and I'm curious to see if they can keep it up into the playoffs.

For the Clips, I felt like Westbrook wasn't too bad, but he made some of the worst choices throughout the game and he definitely was one of the reasons why the Kings stayed in it. His 2 4th quarter turnovers late in the game stood out to me. Same with PG13. He made some of the worst decisions to close out the game. 

Gordon looks so out of shape to me. Plumlee was a great pickup for them even though he had butter fingers throughout OT.
Two seasons ago - maybe even last year - I was convinced Fox was toast - overrated, his athletic speed gifts would tank in years to come, couldn't shoot, couldn't defend. Such a fascinating career arc - very promising rookie, looks like a star in second year, looks like a turd after that, then turns it around and emerges as one of the 20 or so best players in the game. 

I can't believe the Kings actually made the right bet in choosing Fox over Haliburton. If the Kings FO keeps doing things right, they'll leave us in the NBA caboose for FO quality.
