6'4 Josh Hart with 19reb in a Knicks win over the 76ers.

Don't forget the 20 pts and 11 assists.  Dude had a triple double. He's a amazing rebounder for his size.

Kings spank the Bucks, 129-94 to stay a 1/2 game ahead of the Mavs.

Kuzma and Poole fail to convert the fast break.

Just a reminder of how little I want Kuzma.

Mavs had several similar videos in last 2 weeks  Especially during that losing streak

Remember how we shat on Luka for chucking some threes to reach 30?

How about being down 10 and intentionally fouling with 20 seconds left to try and reach 30? Cause that's what SGA just did

I am officially a boomer because I can’t stand this generation of basketball players. The Jokic/Giannis generation is the last one that doesn’t drive me crazy.

It'll be a dogfight the rest of the way. All it takes is a winning or losing streak to change a team's fortunes.

Sabonis is 10-0 vs AD in his career. Amazing...

While I'm sure that many Mav fans are like, "Oh, good, Landlord, PJ, and Lively can lay some lumber," such talk is absolute doom for a Luka-led Mavs team. He already has to play with one arm tied behind his back because the refs hate him and let opposing defenders beat the living crap out of him. Now they'll make that horsepucky officially legal??? Talk about not understanding where your bread is buttered.

I agree it’s not super great news from his perspective, seeing as he already feels like he doesn’t get a good whistle, but on the other hand, his physicality and size are kind of the things that make him special. So, in a way, I can envision him holding up to this type of thing much better than most other offensive focal points. It’s people like Devin Booker and SGA who have to worry more, in my opinion.

[KillerLeft]

My two cents on this subject are simple: If they want to create a more level playing field between offense and defense, and I think that’s a worthy endeavor, the goal can be accomplished much more easily by simply enforcing rules like traveling, carrying, etc, regardless of the player or what’s at stake at any given point in a game. They really don’t need to bring back handchecking or make any sort of convoluted defensive rules, I don’t think.

Take that stupid, after-the-gather side-step away and defenses will become effective overnight.

I think it would be a competitive advantage for guys like Luka or Jokic. They are already absorbing a lot of contact and aren't getting the benefit of the whistle. Different story for players like Embiid, Young or Lillard.
