    After a 'mare of a first quarter, the second quarter was actually kind of fun. And I like this Olivier Nkamhoua guy (who I swear looks like Jordan Peele - facially, that is).

    Watching AJ Griffin is just sad. What happened to him?

    He was never a thing in the NBA. Nothing happened to him.

    Here's some speculation from Reddit:

    not-a-potato-head
    •2mo ago•Edited 2mo ago
    Cash Considerations
    The team hasn't been open about what's been happening, but there's a few things that we know about:

    • He already slipped down the rotation his rookie year after Quin came in

    • During summer league he only played 1 game and didn't perform that well

    • His nephew tragically passed away over the summer, and there's been some controversy over his father potentially being involved

    • He made some weird tweets over the summer about Beyonce (edit: and the rapture)

    • He fell out of the rotation, but he didn't go down to the G-League until really late into the season (something the team isn't shy about doing). He also had some injury stuff late in the season, so he didn't play that much down there either
    There hasn't been any transparency from the team on what's going on, and no reporter has reported what's going on. I suspect that some people might know what's going on and just aren't saying it (some people have implied such), but what's going on isn't public at all.

    These refs sure think these Rockets players are delicate

    Spoke too soon - Blazers remembered they're the Blazers and can't score to save their lives. Fortunately the Rockets aren't too hot either

    Murray finishes with 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Not too shabby. And he actually hit THREE threes.
