That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
I can't believe the official Hawks Twitter account subtweeted Korver like that. His handle popped up and everything.

Why do you want him to do anything when nothing he could do would put us over the Cavs, much less the Warriors? Just enjoy the winning seasons and Lowry hustling his rear end off every possession.

I hope the raptors never beat the Bulls. Like I want them to go 80-2 with their only loses to some garbage Chicago team.

Also, Demare Carol is reaching Mike James/Salmons/hedo levels as worst raptor to ever play crucial minutes.

Masai can't do anything about a team's mental block against the bulls.

The last 5 losses to the bulls the Raptors led at some point, and 4 of the last 5 they led by like double digit points.

Also the Raptors have literally had like the 3 most successful seasons in franchise history under Masai but clearly he's not doing enough cause we can't beat the bulls :qq:

The other part of the Kawhi Leonard trade.

I will never not love pointing that out. The other angle shows how high he actually god, he's a good athlete. Hopefully his ACLs stay where they're supposed to.



He led the Spurs in scoring tonight with a 21/7/8/5/6 statline. Yeah the pts/ft/fta/fg/fga format is a little unorthodox, so what?

Not sure it's Masai's fault that Casey refuses to play Norman Powel more than like 10 minutes, despite the fact that he's probably their best wing defender.

That's definitely on Casey. Powell shot terribly tonight but it's hard to expect consistent production when you're not given consistent minutes.

Although it's also partly because Ross has been playing really well this year, and more consistently. Career highs in FG%, points, steals and on less minutes than in previous years.

Trying out the PlayStation Vue service free trial and it does carry the local Fox Sports regional station that shows Pels games, so I'm happy. $35 a month and I can stream from 5 devices at once, on phone, PS4, and browser.

Quality is no worse than what I was used to; maybe slightly better. It also has some limited DVR capabilities.

I've had Vue for a while, it's very good.

Isaiah Thomas should get a couple of MVP votes.

I just watched Jazz - Wolves and saw Favor's season numbers for the first time. He's getting traded, right? Playing him for only 20 minutes a night is a crime. And Gobert's not going anywhere.

Favors has been glass levels of fragile and they rushed him back too soon earlier this year, so Snyder and co. are taking it easy on him. Now, he could be traded for sure because the Jazz won't give max deals to both him and Gobert...and you're right, Gobert is not going anywhere. In the last week, though, Favors' minutes have been climbing...so there's that.

The problem I see with Utah trading Favors is value back. They won't get nearly enough value for him and they wouldn't likely be able to fill any needs.

I really hope he goes somewhere with a competent medical staff though. When he's healthy he's so freaking good.

I really overrated him looking at the numbers. Should've checked closer. I just really like him but I'm assuming a lot of his defense is helped by having Gobert there instead of Kanter.

Favors isn't great, but he's going to get paid by someone. It's just not going to be Utah. When healthy, he is a net positive for the team...it's just so rare.

I just hope they find a way to keep Gordon Hayward.

They stagger he and Gobert quite a bit and he's been good defensively in the past when Gobert was hurt. He's a good player when he's healthy

Why is everyone so down on Favors? Utah looks to be the real deal and will be looking to be a playoff team for years to come, Favors is probably a top 10 PF in the league and a really good backup center, Utah only has Lyles to replace him, Favors has another year left on his deal, has only missed 8 games a season on average and Utah isn't a free agent destination.

Edit: 8 games on average prior to this season

Well, I think he's really good...just not great...but it's mostly about his fragility. And to clarify, I just don't see the Jazz offering max contracts to both him and Gobert (which is what it would likely take to keep him, though I could be wrong). So, in that scenario I'd rather hold onto Gobert.
