When they were reviewing it multiple times they showed it in real time then in slowmo and it reminds you just how fast this game is played. I'm not saying it's not a flagrant/punishable but at the same time don't think it was a scumbag play.

Aminu is so weird. He's been on fire from catch and shoot 3s but so bad at every other aspect of offense.

If curry doesn't win MVP this year it's because of voter fatigue.
This is crazy talk. LeBron is winning the MVP this year unless he gets hurt.

I will say this about Curry. He may be the easiest superstar to play with in the history of the NBA. He is easygoing without being a wallflower. He never generates drama with teammates or coaches. He creates tons of offense for others. And he is happy to be the public face of the franchise, which makes life easier for guys like KD who are a bit more thin-skinned with the media.

I have to say this is refreshing. I saw his interview last night and he seems really fine with taking the full responsibility for things that might be half is fault, at most.

Lakers without Lonzo: 0-6

Since Lonzo came back: 2-1

Spoiler:

That is also the number of East vs West teams that they faced during that time.

Spoiler:

Opponent's win %: 55% to 26%

I'd imagine this is the worst 3 year running performance in league history for someone getting real rotation minutes, or close

Maybe like Evan Turner has something to say about that

It's hard for it not to be a PG since typically they're involved in the most decisions on the court and the 1st line of defense

Mudiay is so bad Seadood has referred to him as simply

"A top 30 pg prospect"

Ouch, a harsh rebuke

I think a lot of tanking teams should go after him. There are portions of things he does very well and some things he does good, and the hope would be that he irons out the things he's terrible at. He has very slowly improved his first three years, but he is still a very harmful player and shouldn't be touched if your goal is to win any time soon.

For a team like Phoenix/Chicago/BRK/ORL it would be a low-risk move because his contract #2 will probably be dirt cheap and there is a chance that he'll end up figuring things out and being ok to good and then you have a cheap asset. Worst case scenario is you have a young player who's a former mid-lotto pick that might excite fans while racking up L's.

He's a good kid who's handled his DNPs professionally, and I really hope Denver just does him a solid and sends him somewhere he can develop regardless of return. I'm concerned that Denver is worried about the optics of basically giving away a former #7 pick, but imo they've earned the benefit of the doubt with their recent drafts.

Here's how bad he's been visualized, from Ryan Blackburn at Denverstiffs... ouch
