    Believe it or not, Luke Walton has the Kings playing well. Back-to-back road wins against the Mavs and Rockets. This team will be dangerous when Fox and Bagley get back.

    That shot cost me $4K in wager winnings. Absolutely hate that.

    Funnily Rockets were 1.11 on my coupon, and the second lower odds were 1.60 for Ingram hitting over 1.5 threes. I had stuff like Lopez over 1.5 threes at 2.45 in there. The whole bet was over 77 odds.

    Argh! Who was this guy? I remember him from Summer League? Training Camp? And don't say Jason Jennings, because it's a different BWS.

    It is true. The whole bet was:

    Ingram over 1.5 threes (had 4) at 1.60
    Paul over 5.5 assists (had 7) at 1.80
    Towns over 24.5 points (had 3) at 1.80
    Markkanen over 1.5 threes (had 2) at 1.90
    Lopez over 1.5 threes (had 3) at 2.45
    Brogdon over 1.5 threes (had 2) at 1.90
    Tristan Thompson over 8.5 rebounds (had 11) at 1.90

    And of course Rockets to beat Kings, at 1.11 odds. I have no idea why I even put it there at such low odds compared to the rest, it was basically there just as a filler to get me extra 10%... really weird feeling today.

    So is CJ one of the best players in the league?

    Define "one of the best?"

    Is he top 15? No.

    Is he top 25? Maybe.

    Is he top 50? Definitely.

    Again, that chart has "minutes played" as the X-axis. CJ is on the far right because he's near the top of the league in minutes. The best players are the ones that are highest up on the chart, not farthest over.

    Learn to read a chart.

    It shows CJ as being a net negative, but he's played the most minutes in the league.

    yep....CJ is 1st in the league in total minutes. Unfortunately, he's 3rd in the league in FGA while ranking 219th in TS%; 185th in eFG%; and 162nd in BPM. Antoine Walker is a fan

    So, another way to look at the chart; despite being a below average player, CJ's coach plays him the most minutes in the league.

    This chart shows Whiteside and Lillard as the only positive players for the Blazers.

    This is the better chart. Further away from the diagonal line to the top-right is good.

    Skal, Whiteside, and Lillard are the only positives.

    CJ has made a lot of progress from where he was.
    Baze, Mario, Anthony, Simons, & Tolliver don't contribute much.
