    Agree. The other option is mediocrity with no light at the end of the tunnel. The tomes this fan base has been mist excited was when? Blazermania? Adelmans teams in the 90s? Whitsitts teams in 2000s? Honk once or twice? Getting Aldridge and Roy? Getting Dame?

    Then there are years like this. Who fucking cares?

    Be great or be shitty. Don't be Portland

    They have 50 wins already so they don't even have to now...unless they're trying to avoid us in the playoffs

    I think Dario Saric may beat out his teammate for Rookie of the Year. Putting up big stats and voters usually have recently bias.

    I think Embiid should still get it but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. Out of sight, out of mind.

    Cavs set a new NBA record with 25 made 3-pointers in a game tonight. They had SIX players with at least 3 made 3-pointers - and that's without Kevin Love. Looks like BronBron got the help he was crying for.

    In other news, Nerlens Noel made Marc Gasol his bitch tonight. DAL beats MEM and Noel outplayed Gasol at both ends of the court and everywhere in between.

    Noel with:
    15 PTS (6-10 FG), 17 REB, 2 AST, 0 TOV, 1 STL and 2 BLK

    Gasol with:
    13 PTS (6-18 FG), 6 REB, 4 AST, 4 TOV, 0 STL and 0 BLK

    Man, I wish we could have gotten that guy for two 2nd round picks.

    Embid is the clear ROY it's just tough to get it after only 31 games in a season

    You can never have too many good bigs. Noel could back up Nurk at center for about 16 - 18 minutes a game, and play next to him another 12 - 14. Plus, if one big goes down, you have another who can step up.

    New Orleans with another loss. If they keep losing and get a top 8 pick that trade will suddenly not look that dreadful for Kings (another benefit is that Kings will keep their pick this season and it could likely be top 5 if Philadelphia's pick also lands in top 5). However, if Pelicans all of a sudden move into top 3 of draft this will look even worse for Kings as that means the pick will only materialize in 2018.

    Great trade for Sac already. Cousins won them nothing, and Hield doesn't look horible. Sometimes you have to hit reset. With his agent basically calling every team threatening them not to trade for him, they did great
