He makes the entire offense just enough more spaced and just enough more lethal from outside.

Yeah despite all the firepower they already had, the Rockets definitely had issues with Harden on the bench or when Anderson/Gordon were sitting out. This makes it much more likely they'll be able to play 48 minutes of good halfcourt offense every game.

Personally I'm loving the fact that Morey finally found the coach and assembled the team for his ultimate spreadsheet dream. He must be giddy tonight

haha I believe this formula may work!

I was very impressed with the Rockets tonight. I can't help but think that Melo and Dolan and Dwight and musta kinda swirled into a perfect storm to make D'antoni's style look deceptively ineffective. It really does work with the right personnel.

the bulls should be able to claim one of the brooklyn picks just because it was a vomiting Nate Robinson that had provoked the Nets to trade all of their picks for KG and Pierce.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Very likely Ben Simmons doesn't play this season.

Just wait until the playoffs, Lou Williams truthers.

If Lou Williams shoots above 35% from 3 or 40% overall in this year's playoffs I will donate $20 to the next poster's choice of charity.

There's rumblings that Terrence Jones has played his last game as a Pelican, which means Montejunas has once again hosed him over

In the same season, no less

Terrence Jones signed a cheaper contract with the Pels because he would get playing time. With a premier big next to Davis, he will no longer get that playing time. Demps tried to find him a good situation to trade him to, but was not able to. He will waive TJ so that he can find a team who will give him minutes for his next payday.

Sounds pretty cool

Well, America, it was a good run of basketball dominance. Unfortunately, we taught Yao how to develop talent from a young age and now the Chinese will win 20 gold medals in a row starting 25 years from now.
