Is there someone that Smokey won't gaslight?
Unless they were on the front end of a back-to-back set, it was essentially a sure thing that the Rockets stayed overnight – or even an extra day – after games in Los Angeles, Phoenix and other road cities that rank among Harden's favorite stops.
If the Rockets had two or three days between games, it was a good bet Harden would call for an off day and charter a private jet to party in Las Vegas or another city. He always gets an excused absence from the first practice after the All-Star break for the same reason.
Sources said Westbrook frequently expressed his displeasure during the season with not being able to "play my game," as he put it. There were questions about the Harden-Westbrook fit when they were pushing to play together again, including D'Antoni privately expressing his concerns, sources said.But Smokey said

"Nothing ever starts on time," a former Rockets staffer said. "The plane is always late. The bus is never on time. … It's just an organized AAU team."lmao

By Kuma Go To PostWhen CP3 call this out he was the problem smhIt's dire when we are defending CP3.
On one occasion in the Florida bubble, Harden waited to get his daily COVID-19 testing until just before the Rockets' film session was scheduled to start. When he wasn't on time, Westbrook barked, "Start the film! Start without him!" [Former head coach Mike] D'Antoni explained that they'd just have to start over when Harden arrived, which didn't do much to calm Westbrook.
i'm sleep
If nothing else, Edwards is charming, though I'm sure that goes away real quick when they start the season like 1-9.
I did actually think he showed some things on Monday night. Like, he's one of the only guys on the team that plays hard at all.

By domino Go To Postman we’re so much better than last year 😂I know it's only preseason but finding minutes for all these wings and guards is gonna be tough. Contract year Kuzma and THT stepping up big time.
By blackace Go To PostFrank caught a DNP in pre-season?He has a sore Achilles
Thibs is already done 😂
By masud Go To PostHe has a sore Achilles
Then why does the official box score say "DNP-fuck what you heard, he's shit"
Watching Knicks Rewind and I can't believe they played a lineup down the stretch where Obadiah Toppin was the oldest Knick on the court.
Robinson
Toppin
Knox
Barrett
Quickley
I know Knicks want DSJ to take the PG job but Quickley has really looked nice at the point in his limited time.

By pkaz01 Go To PostDid the Timberwolves really trade for rubio for him to come off the bench?This is the kind of stuff that happens when your GM dictates coaching decisions and says that they need to start Russell and Beasley.
They're gonna start the season with an insanely bad record and throw Saunders under the bus, even though he's not making these choices.
By domino Go To Postfor a guy who is nearly useless on one end of the floor, a supermax seems like a bit of a reach.

Gobert is absolutely worth the max, just not a supermax.
Also, it's his agent and this is how negotiations go.

Worst NBA OwnersI am shocked Glen Taylor wasn't rated worse. The only thing he's successfully done in 26 years is alienate Kevin Garnett. He oversaw the Joe Smith scandal!
Vivek Ranadivé Kings - 23.5
Robert Sarver Suns - 23

By blackace Go To Postbut he is sellingI'd be surprised if this happens anytime soon. Once again, he put the team on the market and decided to keep it. He allegedly rejected multiple offers in the $1.4b-$1.5b range because he thinks the team is worth more and the only group that wanted to keep the team in Minnesota was the one with KG in it.
