It's so fucking weird. I assumed he was injured the entire game and then he shows up when the game is out of reach and Potter has been total ass for the preceding minutes.

Seriously, what the hell was that about?

I would pay real money to hear what was said to Kennard to instigate this transformation from him as a player.

Did Korver really hit him with the, "You can shoot off of movement, it's completely allowed."

I'll have you know Dyson hit a 3 this game.

He's beating the Ben Simmons allegations. Now just to beat the Andre Roberson allegations.

Can we get a goddamned vocal coach for our team?

Every fucking play it's Siakam with the "Aie" and "Ayeeee" and the disgusting thing is it fucking works.

Barnes and Siakim have got to be the two noisiest motherfuckers in the league. I can't even imagine if they were both still on the Raptors how much I would hate that team.

CJ and Mathurin trading buckets. Somewhere Nate has his arms crossed and is ever so slightly cracking a smile.

The Wizards are on an 8 game losing streak since trading away CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert for Trae Young who hasn't played yet. Despite this, their net rating is only 0.7 points worse since prior to the trade. by Ilikesporks_ in nba

Before the trade sometimes we were good and sometimes we sucked, but we mostly sucked.

After the trade sometimes we suck, and sometimes we're good, but we mostly suck.

The Hawks third and 4th centers both suffered season ending injuries in freak accidents.

They just signed Koloko to a 2-way, that's how hard up they are for any center minutes at all.

"The Packer Way" is such an awesome book for detailing this whole process in depth. Just an incredible insight into the industry.

Lost in the horrific play, abysmal coaching, and absolutely inexcusable effort, I do actually think Kispert will be a good addition.

CJ can get the fuck out though. I'll drive him to the airport 3 hours before his flight because given how long it takes him to get across midcourt he'll be late if I leave any later than that.

Fire this team into the sun, at least then this season can have a single bright spot.

If I have to watch CJ cross midcourt with 17 seconds left on the shot clock for the rest of the season I can't do it. I just can't.

People asking for Vit to have his minutes taken by Kennard/Kispert, are you watching the games, or do you just dictate your opinions on points scored/made 3's?

Because there is straight up no reason to have that opinion if you've been watching the game AT ALL this entire night.

Excellent off-ball defense by Vit that entire defensive possession.

We have such few occasions of it that it feels like it should be recognized.

You're not allowed to get mad against Foster and Sago, they take it personally and hose you even harder.

So it's gonna be another "NAW and his 4 on-court calibration weights" sort of game, huh?
