One toke over the line, dude. 

Absolutely.

If you can make an argument or an observation that he's using the term "entitlement" to deal just with black athletes, then make the point.

Otherwise, this is drive-by bullshit.

Don't want it to turn into Harden in Houston.
Or to a lesser extent KZ in NY.
Where the star is calling the shots and can't be reigned in.

After BKY hired Nash but before the season started, Kyrie declared that the Nets don't need a coach and he looks at it as Kyrie can act as coach one night, Durant another.   Maybe let Nash coach some too on the days Kyrie decides not to show up ...

Despite some impressive stats (34 / 9 / 5 I think it was), I thought Point Zion had a pretty poor game v. NYK.  And none of his teammates played well either.  My summation: Zion was no Julius Randle.  Will try to catch some more NOPe games -- can at least scout Zo Ball some more and interested in what Jax Hayes and Kira can do.

Les specializes in being an asshole.  He wears it well.

Harden was excellent in Houston

[bodiddley]

Seems to me that the Knix are just better prepared and better coached than most teams we face.  NYK have an identity and impose their will/style on the game.  Stretches of games often get ugly, because the Knix play D and play physical and muck things up.  Knix don't really have a closer, aren't that good at shooting 3's, yet keep games close and grind out wins.  Knix win with teamwork and hard work.  That's what defense really is, getting everyone to buy in and play together and play hard.  It's really the opposite approach to kiid's favored out-score'em philosophy.
A much different and more interesting season than I expected.

Harden was a defensive laughingstock for much of his time in HOU.

Playoff Harden was kind of the opposite of Playoff Rondo.

Harden couldn't co-exist with Chris Paul or Westbrook or Capela, etc.

The entire offense revolved around Harden up top pounding the ball as much as he wanted.  I wouldn't want to be his teammate either.

Kiid's philosophy is to have ENOUGH offense.

We’ve been hitting .390 from three as a team lately. How good did you expect us to be at shooting 3’s? How good is good?

Les can be... temperamental, but he’s still my favorite doggie.

Les, good boy!!! 🐕

[bodiddley]

Knix are 29th in 3Pt FGA's for a reason.
We take open ones (mostly created by Randle) which boosts the %.
Except for Quickly, NYK rarely take 3's early in the shot clock.
Randle and RJB have been shooting 3's very well lately, probably unsustainably well.  At the end of games, Burks has probably been our best option.
But we take turns at it.  Randle, Quix, Bullox, RJB.

James played EIGHT full seasons with the Rockets.

Was an all-time great for that organization.

10.7 and 13.5 mil salaries remain for WILLIAMSON in New Orleans.

This low figure enables the Pels to surround him with available talent as they march toward playoffs

Other remaining holdovers:

Ingram     29   31   33   36
Adams      17   18
Bledsoe     18 (will try to deal)
Hayes       5.4     6.8
Lewis Jr     3.8    4.0    5.7
Alex-Walker   3.3   5.0
Iwundu      1.8

[facilitatorn]

Don’t really see them spending much money to keep Ball considering their other needs.

[kidcarter8]

Give the reins to Lewis - that is the plan.

I guess they werent offered any picks for Lonzo - or they really thought they could make the playoffs (currently 4 games back with 15 left)

I think in order that they do not get NADA (for him) there will be a sign and trade re:  Ball - and it could be with NYK

[kidcarter8]

By the way, even though I think Julius may be league MVP, I think Williamson is the better player.

"Free and fair elections. Statehood for PR & DC".

Free and fair elections? Absolutely!
Statehood for DC? Absolutely!
Statehood for PR? Don't you think you should ask the Puerto-Ricans first?

PS-Just trying to name a resident of Puerto Rico like an Anglo. I shouda used Boricuas, Puertorros or even Puertorriqueños if I wanted to sound official.
