I just saw that LeBron won't be available for post season awards because he's not going to make the 65 games thresh hold.

Rules are rules.

Ah dang luxury tax! Sochan would have been a lovely pickup for Boston. A true big forward. We have all these 6-6/6-7 wings. A true PF with muscle who can bang with bigger PFs like Giannis. Sochan would have been a great add (to the end of rotation / bench).

He would not come for an end of the bench role.  He is looking to go to a losing team to get big minutes to show what he can do, and will likely give that team the right of first refusal in the summer.

Look for him to wind up somewhere like Sacramento and get 25-30 minutes a night.

The initiator gets least penalized while the retaliator gets more, nice. I don't like that thug Miles Bridges anyway. Don't know what was Moussa's problem, you foul somebody like that don't expect them to back down. And he got into Duren's bubble with the headbutt lol. Isaiah Stewart willing to go to war for his teammate, I like that mentality.

[Jiri Welsch]

That's interesting. I really dislike Stewart. The guy seems like a total basket case.

I remember thinking he?d be a much better pro than Jaylen Brown. I?d compare their stats their first few years too and see that they were very similar with Ingram slightly edging Brown.

Who knows, maybe if he didn?t get traded to the Pels Ingram might have had more success and be looked at as a better player.

But as of today JB has definitely had the better career.

Sam Merrill scored 32 points on just 12 shots. He was 9 of 10 from 3 and 2 of 2 from 2, with one and 1.  Harden played at home in 1st game with Cavs and took 4 shots going 1 of 4 for just 13 points though did add 11 assists. Mitchell added 30 to go woth Merrill's 32.

Knicks will probably get him

Interesting stat

Utah Jazz = when Keyonte George & Lauri Markkanen are on the floor together they have a 120pts per 100 possessions offensive rating. That is a very strong mark. Just from those two players.
