    The Rockets also lost to an eastern conference team so that was win-win for the Blazers.

    Rudy Gobert really blew it.
    With 5 seconds left and the Kings down by 1 point, Fox kicked out to the left corner for a 3 and for some reason Gobert ran in that direction even though he was never going to make it and the shooter already had a defender on him.
    Then, instead of running back to the hoop, he stood outside the key while Harrison Barnes ran down the lane and put back the missed shot. Utah did have 2.9 seconds to score in the halfcourt, but Mitchell missed his shot at the buzzer, for some reason he took a 3-pointer even though they were down by 1 point.

    Based on needing overtime to beat Dallas, who we just beat in regulation? That Laker team has serious flaws - only a brain-dead defensive effort on the final play of regulation by Dallas saved LA.

    That team has never been good in close games. Thats why we always here "Their point differential says they should have a better record than they do".

    Doncic isn't a PG.

    Can he get into the paint off more than straight line drives? I can't remember the least all-star wing who couldnt pass, defend at a high level, or only get to the rim off straight line drives.

    The team with a bench of Montrezl Harrell, Lou Williams, Landry Shamet, and one of Moe Harkless or JaMychal Green has no depth?

    The only player I've ever seen who is more timid at taking the 3-point shot than Batum.

    That's why I said 2-3 years. He has not played a lot of basketball in the last few years, but I can now see why he was so hyped after his junior year in HS. He obviously needs to keep getting better and stronger, but he seems to be a good pick at #14. I see him more as a Gallinari type of player

    Either is James Harden.

    Harden is a guard though. I dont think Doncic will be classified as one.

    so what position do you consider Doncic playing? He sure seems to be running the offense for them and handling the ball the majority of time.

    Powell
    Porzingas
    Finney- Smith
    Curry
    Doncic

    one of those is the point guard
