  1. SGA is shooting 60.2% on 2PTFGA's. I'm not sure anyone has ever done that before. At least not on decent volume.
  2. Maybe the Bulls can lure Troy Weaver away from the bayou. The Bulls are set to have the most cap space this summer at around $65 million.
  3. Rumors about Rivers getting let go in Milwaukee. Make sense with a rebuild coming to go with a cheaper coach. At some point someone needs to write about Rivers being hired. Griffin was 30-13 when they fired him and Rivers finished the season 17-19.
  4. The 1:15 PM injury report flipped Cade and Stew to doubtful. A beat writer said neither one is in Orlando so it means nothing for tonight. But up until now they have been listed as out. Maybe Wednesday at home they will give it a go. Harris and Robinson are now both listed as doubtful.
  5. All this time I just thought the rumors were because his daughter goes there. Big downgrade for him, kind of odd.
  6. It's almost impossible for older college players to improve their NBA draft stock.
  7. Recommended to the girlfriend she catches up on her TV this week before I make her a playoff widow next week. So I imagine some home improvement shows are on my viewing agenda tonight. Harris and Robinson are questionable.
  8. Flagg with 45, but it was against the Lakers. I bet LeBron gets "hurt" before the playoffs.
  9. 11 games today and the best one is Hornets-Timberwolves? Maybe Boston-Toronto. Two games that are watchable.
  10. Maybe instead of losing 10 games off of the schedule, guys like Kerr can mimic what San Antonio has done with Wemby's minutes this year. If Victor plays in 3 of the Spurs last 4 games, he will be award eligible. Currently, he has played 1,824 minutes. Luka ineligible 2,289 minutes Ant ineligible 2109 minutes Cade ineligible 2,096 minutes If he plays all 4 games at his 29 MPG average, he will have played 5 more games than Cade but about 3.5 fewer games in total minutes.
  11. Maybe the Lakers can sign Cam Thomas for 4 games.
  12. Little credit to Wemby too. He had 34 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks.
  13. Philly is fighting for the 6th seed. Pistons were the 6th seed last year. I think that team would have hammered this 76ers team.
  14. I think Kerr was talking more about the injuries than load management. Stuff like this. A team losing two players for a month+ in the same game. That isn't normal.
  15. Pistons clinch the east with a win. Embiid is out This also will clinch 3rd overall. I think mathematically they can still catch San Antonio for 2nd, but they won’t.
  16. If a shorter season genuinely improves the quality of play, owners can probably recoup that lost revenue through higher ticket prices. Losing five home dates a year is not that dramatic, and a ten dollar average increase per ticket would likely cover the gap without much pushback from fans. Local broadcasters like FanDuel would take a small hit with fewer games to air, but national broadcasters would barely notice the difference. Unlike the NFL, where cutting games also cuts weeks of programming, the NBA can fit a shortened season into the exact same calendar window, so national TV schedules stay intact. And if the on court product actually improves, better games drive higher ratings, and higher ratings let the league charge more for advertising, so that revenue stream could end up neutral or even increase. The real question, though, is whether 72 games actually produces a meaningfully better product than 82, and that part is worth being skeptical about.
  17. Flagg with 51 tonight. He is the youngest player in league history to score 50.
