That Cavs-Grizzle trade was odd. Marcus Speights and Ellington?

they are better than a lot of what is on that roster right now

More impressive than Durant’s dunk were his back to back threes in the 4th to shut the game down.

Rondo seems like he’s not trying most nights

He’s just lip-synching, like Beyonce.

That really made me laugh. I know the Kings suck, but I’m pretty sure the team is worth more than $20 million.

There are probably 20 cities more deserving of a team.

Logically, it makes sense.

Read a story this morning about Kevin Johnson warning Seattle not to get excited just yet about a Kings move and claiming he has lined up 20 investors pledging $1 million each to keep the team in Sacramento.

That really made me laugh. I know the Kings suck, but I’m pretty sure the team is worth more than $20 million.

I’m pretty sure that there have been a lot of analysis that players play better the more that they play. Logically, it makes sense.

I’m assuming that’s a joke I just don’t find particularly funny.

You need to hope for a favorable draft position.

Every game they win I squirm just a bit more.

It’s ridiculous. At the deadline they need to deal Maxiell and Prince for a young player or a couple picks.

They certainly have a frontcourt you can build around, but you basically have to start over at the guard and wing positions. You need to hope for a favorable draft position.

Drummond should be playing 35 min by now.

Geez I wouldnt play any young center more than 28-30 a night. Those feet will be destroyed by the time his skills match up.

That Cavs-Grizzle trade was odd. Marcus Speights and Ellington? Please tell me Ellington’s lady friend is still with him…

Output is difficult to sustain over increased minutes. That’s just not how it works.

Why not just sit in the 8th seed if you’re Boston. If you beat Miami (which you would have had to anyway, you have the #1 seed’s path to the finals. (Assuming they don’t re-seed, which I’m pretty sure they don’t).

Drummond should be playing 35 min by now. Are they trying to develop Jason Maxiell?

It’s ridiculous. At the deadline they need to deal Maxiell and Prince for a young player or a couple picks.

I’m ok with Drummond’s limited mins. Pistons aren’t doing anything this year, so ease him in. The more mins he gets, the sooner he hits the wall.

I do believe he’s the league’s most talented center already. He has more offensive ability than Dwight Howard could dream of.

Could they go 30-11 the rest of the way?

What the hell?

Next year, if he’s playing 35 minutes a night, is he a 20-15 guy?
15 rebounds a game is a lot. Kevin Love is the only one to do it in the last decade.
I think you’re looking at more of a 15-18ppg and 11 or 12 rpg.

Not to mention, you can’t extrapolate minutes. Output is difficult to sustain over increased minutes. That’s just not how it works.
