Christian Wood is going to make some money, this off season. He's played extremely well for them, since the Drummond trade. Detroit better keep him. ThunderMav, who is that Dort guy, and what happened to Roberson?
This was 2nd night of back to back and on road. We played decent til late 3rd and then 4th. Ran out of gas.
Agree on Wood
Dort is an undrafted free agent we picked up. I love his game and effort. Raw with lots of upside. Robes is at 2yrs, 3mons of injury recovery. Imo he is done. His sole game was defense and since it appears he can’t even get back to playing by now no way he will have the speed and hops to play/guard at high level again. Unless he developed a killer 3 he is done if he does come back.
NO is 9-9 since Zion's debut. Their schedule going forward has a lot of the teams they need to beat in the standings, but making up for such a poor start to make it to the playoffs is probably out of reach for them.

Huh, that is not really great. I thought they were much better. They have a big gap to close now. Might be too big.

They have lost 3 in a row to get to 9-9, so there was reason to believe in them before that, but now, not so much. It'll
probably depend on the Mem, SaS and Sac games of which there are a lot left.
Clippers bustin the Rockets azz, 80-56 4mins to go in the 3rd. Rockets are 2-29 from 3, lol. Westbrook only one doing work, for Houston.

ESPN and the League would wants you to believe they are 17-1 and Zion is avg 8 assist and 0 turnovers a game and as made Ingram into an All Star.

Hard schedule. With Zion they lost against the Spurs, Nuggets, Rockets, Bucks, Thunder, 2x Lakers, Wolves and Mavs. All playoffs teams except for San Antonio and Minnesota.
They have Mavs like problems. Meaning that they struggle to close out games. Only lost one of the listed games by more than 10 (Bucks with Lopez and Giannis did an even better job than Maxi and KP against Zion).
Nevertheless Zion has been impressive. +12.9 on/off, +9,5 on court. 24 ppg 62% TS. Right now he is all offense and a liability on defense. Pelicans need to figure out how they can hide him on defense if they want to make on last run for the 8th seed.

Clippers showed the rest of the league how to expose their defense. Get RoCo and/or Tucker in foul trouble and the Rockets defense collapses.
Buck/Lakers each have 34 made FGs
Bucks have made 5 more 3’s so should be ahead
But Lakers have 30 FTA to 17 and thats the diff.
100-94 in 4th about 4 min left
Refs all in on LeChina’s team
Mr. Triple Single is giving Kevin Durant a run for his money when it comes to pettiness with his recent feud with Charles Barkley.

Well besides the fact that he´s pretty good, I think during the Mavs/Pelicans broadcast the most nervous person in the world was Doris Burke´s husband, the way she was stanning over Maxi Kleber.
Rox lost without Russ. Harden gets the “turnover” quadriple double. 3 losses in a row and 2 vs losing teams.

Harden played 45 minutes, WTF. Hornets started the game 20-0 and never looked back.

Coach don’t care he’s all in small ball max minutes. Going down in flames. I think Russ has helped them this year but Harden has regressed and they lost depth.

The mileage that Flat Earther got out of LeBron is amazing. If it had come down to Atkinson and Irving, they´d probably have traded Irving, but they need to keep the Twitterer happy, too.
EDIT: LOL I completely forgot about VAJ, the bench scrub. Probably not too happy about JA rightfully taking his job. Can only hope they really sign Lue or Mark Jackson. Haha. This is like King 2.0.
I´m the Knicks, I´d be all over Atkinson right now.
