no jabari, no Embiid, no Julius Randle.

Hate to say I called it, but yeah.
There was no way that injury was just a "knee sprain."
Classic mechanism for non-contact ACL. He's done for the season, and it'll be 9 months before he's back.

Jabari man FUCK. Feel so bad for the kid.
And I had the Bucs getting into the playoffs. There goes that hope.

By ZeusSo with Jabari out is Wiggins is the leading ROY candidate or whatWho is leading Jaabari in rookie scoring?
By VlatkoHas #SuckAssForShabazz been redeemed?Because he's good. Him posting up from the left block is good business, he has nice touch.
Why is he putting up these big numbers lately
But he'll be a good challenge for our new shooting coach. Bazzy does seem marginally improved from the outside already, though (from awful to merely bad).

That dream might be dead. Kobe's fire and will to win are going to elevate his team all the way into .300 ball.

Stephen Curry wanted to play for the New York Knicks when he came out of Davidson and in the NBA Draft in 2009. Curry was chosen by the Golden State Warriors at No. 7 while Jordan Hill was taken by the Knicks one spot later.
“The Warriors had some questionable characters on their team, the Knicks really needed a point guard, and we felt that Stephen would fit perfectly with a coach like Mike D’Antoni, playing that fast, up-and-down style," Dell Curry said. "He loved the idea of playing at Madison Square Garden.”
Donnie Walsh and Larry Riley, both running the Knicks and Warriors, respectively, at the time, fell in love with Curry's game.
“He’d get the ball in the backcourt, and boom, he was gone,” Walsh said. “It wasn’t just his quickness; he saw everything. I’m sitting there thinking, ‘We’ve got D’Antoni coaching our team, and this kid would fit perfectly.’"
“And you know what?” Riley said. “I walked out that night thinking that he would be a very good N.B.A. player for 10 years. I didn’t worry about what he shot. I knew he could shoot. The reason I really liked him was that he never backed down. Nelly always loved playing small ball. And there was always the thought that if it didn’t work, we could move someone.”
Curry's agent, Jeff Austin, admitted he tried to do whatever he could to get Curry in New York.
“Riley calls me and says, ‘Can I watch a workout?’ ” Austin said. “I said, ‘No, you can’t.’ He says, ‘Can I talk to him?’ I said, ‘No, you can’t.’ I tell him that Stephen wants to be in New York. Stay away from him.
“Larry, to his credit, kept saying, ‘I’m still taking him.’ There was nothing I could do to dissuade him.
“The Knicks, if they were one spot higher, where would they be now? It just shows you that as much time and energy they put into it, the draft is not an exact science. A lot of it is just luck, where you land.”
By viakadoffs, i want to punch something everytime Mark Jackson talk.s
Someone hire this clown already.

not bad kings owners, not bad at all.
I can't even comment on the continued nuttiness of the Kings at this point. The real crazy part is the likeliness that they plan to just use Ty Corbin for the entire year.
So to wash that out, the greatest Peja highlight.

By blackaceman so 3 of the top rookies are pretty much done for the year…Yeah. Sucks, because those guys can learn a ton from playing in their rookie year.
But we've seen a lot of good comebacks in this regard. Blake for one.

Mark Jackson's Kings vs. Kerr's Warriors will be must see TV.
By psychintellectWhen was the last time ynb didnt drop a 20+/5/5 stat line?That's his 9th game in a row at 20-5-5.
Fucking point god. When KD starts playing his regular minutes…..
Fuck
Edit: wait wtf westbrook only played 31 minutes and is under 30mpg?
WHAT THE FUCK
His stats per 36 minutes are fucking absurd:
32 points
7.1 rebounds
8.3 assists
2.3 steals
Not to mention his efficiency:
.495 FG%
.355 3PT%
.601 TS%
.519 AST%
34.5 PER
All of this on 39% usage. If he maintains levels even *close* to this and the team keeps climbing the standings he has a great shot at MVP.
By ZeusSo with Jabari out is Wiggins is the leading ROY candidate or what
Wiggins is pretty lucky, an injury weeks before the draft got him number 1 and now all the other top candidates going out might give him ROTY.
this draft class is cursed.
Players who have missed or will miss > 50% games so far this season by draft order
2: Jabari Parker - ACL
3: Joel Embiid - foot
4: Aaron Gordon - foot
6: Marcus Smart - ankle
7: Julius Randle - tibia
9: Noah Vonleh - hernia
11: Doug McDermott - knee

Impressive, though I think you might have just jinxed him.
Can we just make a statement and give the award to KJ McDaniels?
Because Wiggins has been dreck honestly.

You don't want to give it to a -0.6 WS, 9.4 PER guy playing on the second worst defensive team in the NBA?
Ranadive:
I'm so sorry, Kings-SLAENT.
“Defense is great, but we need defense and offense,” he said. “We need to go from a rules-based organization, which was important when you had chaos, to a values-based organization. From kind of a programmatic offense, to a read-and-respond, free-flowing offense. I like to use a music metaphor. We had a Sousa marching band, which was needed when there was chaos, but now we need to shift to a jazz band, where people can be individually showcased and improvised. What we need is a jazz director. I think that’s the kind of leadership moving forward.”

These draft classes always find a way to disappoint. It should have been a sign when a team with 2 supposedly team-changing talents on a perennial power college team was far from dominant. Parker was a bit better than I thought he'd be, but even he's hardly been amazing. Next year should be more telling, though, with Parker, Embiid, Randle, Vonleh, Gordon, and McDermott all returning from season-ending injuries along with the next batch of rookies.

The Ranadive era is going to be AMAZING.
Ugh, Karasev injured now too? He was filling in nicely in the starting lineup. Dropping like flies.
By livefromkyotoGoing to the game tonight. Nyets gon' get that work.I just hope this game means something to our guys. It probably doesn't. Meanwhile I know Lowry has this one circled.

It's on ESPN and it's Drake Night again and there will be tons of fuck Brooklyn chants. They'll probably get hyped by the atmosphere.
Since DeRozan's been out easy wins have been tough to come by, so I'm not taking it for granted.

Hope he scores.
