    Cousins post game is better than it was last year. Is that a more accurate statement?

    I would take McLemore for our second unit, but yeah.... not even remotely #1 pick material. Shows how weak that draft was.

    Pelicans are going to give fits to their first round matchup.

    I still think they're a piece away. Unless Eric Gordon gets his shit together.

    I think it is posaible that these Kings wins have come off of talent alone. Not sure they can sustain it, but if they get a winning system in place they will be very good. 1-2 years off.

    Anthony Davis could carry his team to the playoffs this year, but he doesn't have to.

    He needs to work on FTs but he will get them down too.

    The Kings don't have a steadying influence. Can't count on Boogie, Rudy Gay, or someone like Ben McLemore. Darron Collison isn't the guy, and I'm not sure Rondo would really be that guy either.

    Someone like Goran Dragic would be amazing in Sacramento.

    NFL suspended AP for the season today. Should we expect a statement from the NBA regarding Howard, or just assume they are investigating it?

    Nobody is outraged yet, apparently.

    I think Dragic became greatly overrated after Phoenix' surprising season last year.

    I don't think so. I think he's a solid point guard. He's not a superstar, but having him share duties with Thomas/Bledsoe is fucking him (and my fantasy team) up big time. I think he's gone after this year as a free agent.

    season 5 is unreal. i'm jealous of anyone who gets to watch it for the first time. that show takes you on a ride for sure. I've watched it 3 times to get a full grasp of it.

    fun fact: met the guy who played Saul Goodman a few weeks back. Extremely nice guy.

    It sounds like his ex wife took allegations that were dismissed in Florida and claimed them in Georgia. Apparently any child abuse report has to legally be investigated, and it sounds like these allegations will be dismissed as well. I still really don't like dwight Howard, but I don't think he did anything wrong.

    I hope Florida ties up Howard in court all season and distracts him from basketball whether he's innocent or not

    Damn straight! Hibbert and Noah are always in the running for DPOY and we're right there with them when it comes to protecting the rim.

    BTW, weren't we first until we played NOP? All those Anthony Davis dunks and lay ups set us back a little, but it's a sample size thing.
