phil aint so bad...

Not too bad at all lol

Why would the Wolves sit Rubio and Wiggins against Charlotte when they could have picked up an easy win? I mean, sit them against GSW when you aren't going win, anyway. I know they're hurting but when you're a 30-38 win team trying to rise above that you need to win games you should win. Sam Mitchell is doing himself no favors right now.

Is it a back to back? Assuming yes. You can't pick games like that, that's sending your team an extremely bad look, basically admitting to a loss before tip.

Because he misses one game lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He will miss more than a game, I'd bet. It's just these injuries, it seems like everytime we get a guy back another goes down. I know it's a joke amongst those of you, but being a fan of a team that can never stay healthy is hard. I can think back to the early 2000's when even guys like Baron Davis and Jamal Mashburn couldn't stay on the floor. That promising Chris Paul team that took SA to 7 games was derailed because Tyson Chandler, David West, and Peja Stojakovic all fell apart physically in like one year. This franchise got here 12 or so years ago and we have had one season where we weren't decimated by injuries.

Is this the Pelicans starting lineup tonight or their injury report? Jrue-Tyreke-QPon-AD-Perkins with Cole off the bench

You absolutely can do that. It's called coaching to win as many game as possible. Sitting them against a shit squad and giving a win away is poor decision making when now they have a guaranteed 2 game losing streak.

doesnt send a good message to the team or the fans

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And besides, you're comparing apples to oranges. The game against Charlotte was on the back end of a back to back, the Warriors game is not

 

[jonathanlambert33]

doesnt send a good message to the team or the fans

Yep, more importantly the team obviously.

As a fan it's ok to consider, but we do not think the same as these franchises do. You can't wave the white flag on a game, you just can't send that message to your team.

Gerald Green has been suspended by the Heat for 2 games for punching someone in the eye at his condo.

Kings are a mess
Just makes me wish i was owner.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You would run any team into the ground

 

[elcheato]

What happened with the Kings?

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

What happened with the Kings?

 
Big Cuz went off on George Karl. Karl job is in jeopardy, Vlade asked the players should they fire Karl, Kings held a "Family meeting" to clear the air about everything
 
 

 
McIntyre reports that after the Kings loss to the Spurs on Monday night, Cousins unleashed a rant of cursing at Karl in front of the entire team in the locker room. Karl reportedly walked away.
 
Later, as Cousins asked players if he was too hard on Karl, GM and President of Basketball Operations Vlade Divac and assistant GM Mike Bratz were asking players if Karl should be fired.
 
What hasn’t been reported is that after the players spoke, Sacramento general manager Vlade Divac and assistant GM Mike Bratz talked to the players and Divac asked the team, "We don’t know what to do with George [Karl], do you think we should fire him?"
 
The players, a person close to the situation said, were shocked and didn’t know how to respond.
 
Again, this is the latest, and perhaps most dramatic, development in a series of events quickly rolling downhill that began last season with the hiring of Karl against Cousins' wishes.

I love Porzingis, I remember people arguing he wasn't worth going that high.

Larry Nance is a solid player
Good pick. Good draft

 

[elcheato]

It's a miracle Larry Nance is still in the league. Guy is in his 50s
