I get that players and coaches have used the press to fuel their agendas, but there's always the potential for blowback with the fans, team, press, and future suitors. For Hield's sake, I hope Sacramento rectifies the situation. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dont care 6,158 Posted October 18, 2019 1 hour ago, DG_Now said: Hield said that no good FAs ever go to Sacramento and he's right. Sacramento can pay him what he wants, pay Fox what he wants, pay Marvin Bagley what he wants, and they can find themselves -- in face of all odds -- competitive with a young core. Instead they want to nickel and dime a good shooter and give that money to Trevor Ariza. Okay, whatever. If I was the kings I’d match any offer just out of spite so he has to stay miserable in Sacramento. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's their right, and also a great way to continue to remain a free agent desert. Sacramento got its arena. Maybe Vivek can sell the team to a city and an owner who would give a :censored:? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't follow hockey, but I remember catching part of a game that featured the glowing puck graphic years ago. I actually kind of liked it because hockey pucks are considerably smaller and move at a much faster rate than, say, a basketball. But again, I was a casual observer. Had I actually been an avid watcher of hockey, I think I would've found myself preferring to go without the graphic altogether. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 6,138 Posted October 22, 2019 I think I've come around on the Clippers, and Kawhi's own personal dynasty. Strong depth behind the stars and I like the defensive-minded, grit-type-star parallels with Doc's Celtics teams, but probably even better. I can see a fun postseason with them and the Lakers assuming health and rest, plus the Nuggets/Jazz/Blazers as the underdogs who scrapped through the regular season. Kind of expecting a total meltdown from the Rockets even before the geopolitical controversy. In the East, I think the Bucks are the team to beat for the foreseeable future. If Embiid can stay healthy that's one Sixers concern down, but I don't know about their shooting still. Everyone else will be a depressing morass of streaky, frustrating 45-win teams from seeds 3-8. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
