Is there a reason why the Hornets are favorites against OKC tonight? SGA is active.

Pretty interesting discussion about Luka/Bron/Jokic on the recent Simmons pod. Worth a listen.

Football has always been more popular that’s just the way it is 
I’ve gotten less into it as the years have gone by though.

Jacque Vaughn doing great turning around that mess. Got them playing defense and everything. KD and Kyrie should just fall back and let the front office take care of him in the off-season.

The others are definitely showing a pulse. Kinda similar to the year Durant left, Klay hurt, and most of the rotation took a while to understand what was going on before they took off.Steph
Poole
Klay
Wiggins
Dray
Looney
Kuminga
White Donte
Ty Jerome
They found it. 9 man rotation. Probably will not need Jamhycal, other than for different matchup looks to stretch the floor (ie Beli from last year)
ill steelo , you see what I see
I’d definitely still do my due diligence around the trade deadline though

You probably don't like the taste of beer then.
Every now and then, I have a taste for it. Usually that revolves around certain food or events like sports. I actually don't like hard liquor at all unless it's mixed with something.

Agreed. For a big, it's solid. But smaller/quicker players are going to be picking his pockets if he over dribbles.

Huh.
You seen him dribble in games?
He can dribble.
Ball will be in his hands - whoever drafts him.

I want to see full blown anarchy.
I want to see Vic refuse to be drafted with whoever gets the number 1 pick.

Unless it’s the NFL where the worst record guarantees the number 1 pick. The whole tanking stuff has always seemed weird to me.
Like there’s no incentive for players to tank. They’re playing for contracts, be it with that team or somewhere else. No reason for them to willingly partake in helping a team have higher odds at getting the number 1 pick when they likely won’t even be around with the team the next season. You can intentionally put the worst players out there, they’re going to try their best and compete.
Unless the coach is absolutely guaranteed job security and is assured his job is safe no matter how bad the teams record is, no incentive for them to get on board with benching or shutting their best players down for the season and playing a bunch of inexperienced guys.
I get hitting the reset button and rebuilding as an organization if you’re stuck in that middle of the pack no man’s land and trading your best players to acquire picks and cap flexibility. And if you happen to be real bad and get the number 1 pick as a result, then so be it. But to just blatantly tank and expect everyone to be on board with it. Just seems wild to me.
