I don't really blame Masai for any of this. Seems like just the cycle of a team.

Sabonis was humiliated last year in the playoffs and Dray saved his reputation by changing the narrative. Sabonis is in the "prove it" phase.

Lockback posted:I dunno how much Toronto is a tank vs they are just really bad with the guys who are left that are able to physically play basketball. Tanking in this case is sitting guys who might otherwise play if the goal was to win games. I don't know what else you can do to tank except maybe let Agbaji shoot 20+ times in a game, which is also a thing they did.

Scottie Barnes is a huge win, even if twitter people call him the autistic baller or what have you. I think Masai /toronto's front office are still good prospect evaluators, they just had few chances to show it inthe last few years because of the traded picks.

Looney out-rebounding him is the only thing I would consider at all humiliating. but Looney did that the lots of people over two years then fell off this year.

What’s so impressive to me about Sabonis’ rebounding numbers is that he’s doing all of the dirty work and cleaning it up. Who else on the Kings is boxing out or getting rebounds? Not a soul

Ed Rogers III no points for guessing why he's head of Rogers/MLSE has been taking a more direct role and vetoing decisions allegedly.

Sabonis had plenty of not good moments in the playoffs. The Warriors basically sagged the hell off of him any time he was 15 feet out which resulted in the following: - Sabonis wide open and either refusing to shoot or missing the badly - Sabonis driving in to a waiting Looney. Looney would then never leave his feet and Sabonis would end up getting stripped after the defense collapsed and he was on his third or forth ball fake Lowe even postulated that some of his lack of regard is hangover from the playoffs

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1772037330809032883 I am surprised, that little fracas seemed like nothing. I sure as hell wasn't watching a Houston v Utah game last night so maybe I am missing context. Video of the fight https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1771698572951470096 I feel like Kris Dunn is hanging on to the league by a thread, why you gotta suspend him for 2 games?

Lifespan posted:Alex Len is the only other one though obviously not nearly as effective. Right and he’s only at 2.7 per game. And never shares the court with Domas. I should have specified that part. Sabonis is at 13.7 trb/g and the next highest is Keegan Murray with 5.4. That’s an insane gap and definitely something the Kings should be concerned about going forward. It works for the team because Sabonis is comfortable ripping and running - they don’t need to have him box out for Fox like Adams and Westbrook did so effectively - but Sabonis is actually awful at transition ball handling. Last I saw the niche stat it had him turning the ball over something absurd like 25% of the time. Definitely in a “worst in the league at this particular part of the game” context. They get away with it because he’s such a good and smart passer, he can rebound in traffic and get a safe outlet. Just need him to stop trying to run the break on his own.

Jontay Porter was a nice story when he started showing he could hang with the best of them and gave us a non-Poetl option at center. I now want him dead. What a lovely stupid way to ruin your career and reputation forever.
