    One thing Zach is playing on worst defense team in the NBA. Zach rim protection 6 feet and in is -7.9 and Eubanks is -4.7 and post defense rating post all star Zach is 110 and Eubanks 117.2. just because Eubanks block more shots that don't mean he better rim protector. I rather have guy that prevents people scoring at the rim then someone blocked a couple shots a game but still gets score on more then they block. I been watching Zach play all year I can tell you Eubanks is not as good has Zach. Remember who replaced Eubanks last year on spurs Zach. Since starting Zach has play as good or better every center he went up against except one Jokic from Denver. I going tell there a lot more teams that Zach actually good go and start then there not. Three teams was asking about him at trade deadline philly Denver and Brooklyn not to start but play behind some pretty good centers. Zach is just beginning to break through and his offense is starting catch up with his defense.

    The thing is we could have had both Zach and Eubanks, didn't have to be one or the other.

    Wow watching this kings vs Celtics game and I just realized this is the type of team Dame deserves. How the hell did the small market team in Sacramento do it? Fuck man

    Yeah Eubanks would make a great third string behind Zach.

    Going up for a rebound Paul George and Lu Dort's knees collide. Paul George collapses on the floor and is later helped off the court.
    Looks like George's knee hyperextended.

    Coming from McDonald's, I think Assknuckles would be a better descriptor.

    In a bizarre finish in Los Angeles, Kawhi Leonard dribbled out the clock before getting off a shot. His team lost by one, 101 to 100 to the Oklahoma City thunder.
    Leonard had possession of the ball for 23.2 seconds from the time he rebounded it on the other end of the court until the game clock expired.
    Edit: I should add that the clippers did not have any time-outs.

    So that probably means he's about to have another serious injury soon.

    By being in the lottery for a long time and having resources to trade for Sabonis.

    The Kings have been bad for a VERY LONG TIME. The whole point of the lottery is to build up bad teams.

    yeah, Aldo asks some really dumb questions. How did the Kings do it:

    upload_2023-3-22_12-16-37.png

    that's how. The Kings spent 15 straight years in the lottery clearly demonstrating that just having a bunch of lottery picks wasn't a guarantee of success. In fact, the King's spent most of that time failing, again and again and again. They hadn't won 40 games in a season since 2006

    Playoffs are in 3 weeks though. 4 years since the trade and no Finals appearance. I think they’ve won 3 playoff series total. Meanwhile OKC is making a playoff push already.
