At best they will have a 14.5% chance at the top pick. That's it. "Purposeful development" is the new tank.

Here is Draymond's chance to prove he is as good as some thought. Unless he decides to bow out with some minor injury.

GSW first chip was divine intervention as those they played had injuries. After 5 year domination with 3 chips it was a fluke how fast it has come apart.
To lose two future HOFers as they did in the Raptor series was incredible. LIke the Devil himself presented the invoce to be paid right there.

And lost

This will be a story for the whole year. They get a high pick, trade it with Russell and are back to prominence next season.

And now we get to see how Steve Kerr would have done as Knicks coach.

Ouch!!! But your right. When Kerr had his spinal tap issues and was in pain I believe he would have resigned from Knicks. It would have been painful enough. So much a human can endure.

The Marcus Morris signing was us getting revenge on the NBA universe for Steve Kerr.

Knicks pulled a dyck move on SAS who traded a player to sign Morris, then snatched him. From what I have read knicks thought Spurs had tampered with KP and therefor did not feel bad about doing what they did.

Im waiting for Phil Jax to write his next book. Wonder how long his contract prevents him from doing this? I think Phil would be respectful to what Kerr did when he backed out of his verbal agreement to coach knicks.

In other news, GSW beat Portland last night.

Monty Williams is getting it done in PHX

Granted no Embiid (or Ayton), but still, Suns give Sixers their first loss

Anyone watching them enough to figure out Williams formula? If so please share here and email Fizz too

Chandler @ 11/5/2019 10:19 AM
Saw some of the Grizz game yesterday. All i can say is holy crap when i see Ja Morant. He is fast, slick, skinny, electric (helps explain why RJ went 3 -- who has been great)

PHX has needed a PG for years. Rubio enhances Booker. They have a decent roster and its guard play in this NBA that is important.
Monty had good cred coming into this year. They got Baynes as back up who is a quality player.

Devon Booker will be a HOF player? LOL, look at this list of company he is in.

Seems as if 61 points or more your in elite company!! Devon Booker is tied at the 10th highest single game total with Wilt at 70. He also hung 59 pts in a game. So has Purvis Short!!!
Booker is young, will he have a long illustrious career or a few great games as his high point legacy? Time will tell.

it's largely the same roster as last year. They dumped Josh Jackson (you know -- the next Scotty Pippen) and have some young guys playing minor minutes still

Hats off to Monty!!

I still don't like Rubio and am not sure if he's the reason for their success. To those board members here who wanted him, hats off to you for seeing this potential. (I always considered him over-rated JAG)

I don't get why it's a dyck move. All teams have the opportunity to make their best offer to players up and until that player is signed.

Morris hedged. Knicks jumped on an opportunity.

Morris happens to be the most productive Knicks player right now

First Ayton, now Collins. Is the league cracking down, or are these guys just sloppy?

I've looked at some of the articles. Some of these guys are using more sophisticated stuff, harder to track, easier to claim I though it was a supplement (universal response)

SO the testing is pretty sophisticate. Whether it's random enough to catch Lebron and his big jawline we will find out (i.e., classic tell for HGH), as is a thick but lean waist

I wouldn't be surprised if KP was on some of these supplements while back in the old country. It's extremely hard to put mass on side delts. KP seemed to do that in one Summer. Many players seem to develop when they join the Heat LBJ Wade Whiteside are all prime suspects for HGH

Reminds me of the time the Spurs landed Duncan.
