    Sac has had interest in Thybulle before if I recall.

    This was a great showcase.

    Fox and Sabonis combine for 77 points on 66% shooting yet we win by 17 points. Who would’ve thought???

    But taking out Scoot after playing him 18 straight minutes overrides that, so bad coaching job.

    Scoot's best game so far -

    Note: Game Score was created by John Hollinger to give a rough measure of a player's productivity for a single game. (40 is an outstanding performance, 10 is an average performance.)

    Keep that trend line going up Scoot!

    Sabonis straight up should do it.

    I'm not counting this because you didn't quote yourself in the post.

    Scoot scored negative points? That's not good, but it is amazing.

    they'll prolly push davion mitchell out, but doubt we have interest in him.

    first team to offer a first for thybulle gets him. even with lotto protections, i'd let him go.

    Mitchell and a first for Thybulle would be a great deal, even though we don't need more guards.

    seems like once or even twice a week now we end up saying "that was Scoot's best game". Granted, he was pretty bad earlier in the season so he didn't have very high hurdles to clear. Still, he's clearly getting better

    and, how about the Jabari-Duop-Duo?

    also: when team A shoots 40% or better from three and team B shoots under 25%, I'd think the chances that team B wins are almost non-existent...the modern NBA

    Game-Score; the formula is PTS + 0.4 * FG - 0.7 * FGA - 0.4*(FTA - FT) + 0.7 * ORB + 0.3 * DRB + STL + 0.7 * AST + 0.7 * BLK - 0.4 * PF - TOV. Game-Score was created by John Hollinger to give a rough measure of a player's productivity for a single game.

    he had not played 18 straight minutes in the second half.

    he came in at the 6:29 mark in the 3rd, and left at the 8:01 mark in the fourth. That's 10:28 consecutive game play.

    it was a stupid benching, especially because he didn't bring him back in to close the game.

    I agree the Kings wouldn't do it... we'd need to match salaries and I agree it would be great to hold out for a pick.
