I wonder if all that stuff was a personal decision by silver, it’s all so shoddily done. There were a few tournament games where the mavs didn’t use the new court because pieces were defective.

The whole thing smacks of someone having a terrible idea and being given absolute authority to make said terrible idea happen. Hard to imagine anyone but Silver having that kind of power.

I mean it makes sense, you want people to tell at a glance that it's a tourney game. Better to make the court different than putting an icon on the screen or something. Execution however...

hey Halliburton was a great pick tho

The Kings really had Magic Johnson and Kevin Johnson and chose to trade Magic

We could have had Haliburton and Sharpe. Unreal. Sabonis is drat good but the Fox-Sabonis combo will never win a ring and just be a middling playoff team for years to come

The courts crack me up because they're so garish and painful sometimes that I'm reminded of like being a 11 year old picking my invision/proboards/whatever forum skin. Neon green dark mode!! Oh yeah red and black would be perfect!!

Charlotte could have had Kobe.

Kings have always sucky to playoff pretender. So have we. Doesnt mean we arent fun to watch.

The Lakers played like it was an actual playoff game, lots of hustle, got every loose ball, tons of defensive effort, etc. and the Pels just seemed to treat it as another regular season game (which it was, but whatever).

Basically the Lakers had a lotta extra effort everywhere (LeBron took 3 charges for example) while the Pels just got more and more demoralized every time they'd play good defense and LeBron would do LeBron things and score / set up an open look anyway.

I don't see why. When AD has his annual season-ending injury, they're gonna need every early win they can to fall backwards into the play-in tournament. Even without the in season tourney, these are all playoff games for them.

I'm confident he'll have enough in the tank for the 2-6 games it takes for them to be knocked out of the actual playoffs

The Rockets are trying their hardest to blow a 25 point lead, which they had 6 minutes ago, it's down to 7 points with under 3 minutes left.
