    And he's fucking modest, too. San Antonio certainly don't deserve him and Tim Duncan AND David Robinson.

    Why fret about something that was completely by chance. At some point you have to move on. I lose no sleep over something of chance.

    Billionaire Julia Koch is negotiating to buy a 10-15% minority stake in the Nets from majority owners Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai. The 2nd-richest woman in the world is worth $60-65 billion. She will trail only Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in NBA wealth.

    Best comment of the month from Chucktoad1 on HoopsRumors.com:
    Not only will Koch be the 2nd-richest owner in the NBA...this will reduce James Dolan to the 2nd-scummiest team owner in New York.

    Me viewing it changes nothing. (I didn't).

    No one should be fretting anymore about it. It was a chance, we didn't get it. That's the end of it.

    I wonder why Josh Heart always has his best 3pt shooting season the first (half) year with his team; it's happened with all 4 teams. His percentage dropped 7% in his second season with Portland and is down 20% in his second season with the Knicks.

    How do you shoot 57.3% and lose the game?
    Let the Celtics shoot 68%.
    Welcome to the New NBA!

    Orlando is currently 7 games above .500. They've won 9 of their last 12. Can we put the Magic back on the board of rebuilding teams the Blazers want to emulate? Or is it still OKC only ??

    things are falling apart in Brooklyn. I guess you're not allowed to shoot the ball anymore.

    Conley only been in the league 15 seasons. Schroeder is more hip to the new rules on tankers. Don't hold me to it but I believe if you are over 10 points up on a team that doesn't want to win you must take the turnover. You must certainly not make the shot as the shot clock winds down. Never mind there was still 22 seconds on the game clock. We all know these old players are just a bunch of stat padders!

    The Bucks are 15 games over .500! Maybe we could rebuild like them and trade our aging defensive guru for a clutch "Stone Kold Kolla"! Like maybe an All Star player that could win MVP and the 3 point contest the same year? Older with enough left in the tank to really make a difference? They could always trade the player they get from us to the Lakers for scraps.

    I absolutely hate that the ping pong balls are drawn in secrecy. I understand that there is a verification company involved but they could be involved anyway and still do this thing in public.

    there's a morning game on ABC right now. Bobby Portis & the Bucks are stomping the no-Embiid Sixers.
