I'm really hoping Aaron's strong week isn't just due to playing in California in front of his family. SAC -- 19 & 9 on 8/16 shooting with the game winner LAL -- 21 & 6 on 7/12 shooting with multiple highlight plays LAC -- 20 points on 8/11 shooting (4/5 from 3) Would be amazing if he was starting to find his rhythm instead.

Until the summer

I think it helps that he's finally starting to produce. Whether it's because he's finally getting healthy or just the ball bouncing the right way or he just figured out how to manage his injuries he's been averaging 20 ppg on super high efficiency since he sat out there other day.

Ask Jud Buechler, king of the trillions lol

Good takeaway from this game is that Gordon’s starting to string together games on the offensive end. He’s playing under control and in rhythm right now.

Khem at the PF spot needs to end. It's not good. And certainly not against Kawhi. Khem is a back up center and that's fine.

Ok 2-2 after the first 4 games of this road trip is just fine. Win the next 2 and go home with a 4-2 record and it's all good. If it's a blowout by the end of the 3rd quarter I would shut down the main guys and get ready for Golden State.

Man i would love Montrezl on our team. I don't know why but I've had a soft spot for the guy since he slid down the draft boards

I just got back home--around 7:15 p.m.-- from eating out at a restaurant at a resort near my vacation home in Maryland. The restaurant has a bar area and a few TV monitors. As I passed by the bar, I looked up at the TV monitors, and saw Fultz' picture displayed on each of the monitors. His name scrolled across the ticker tape at the bottom of the screens. I could not hear what the sports analysts were saying, but the script displayed on the screens said how the Lakers were taken down by the Magic. It wasn't a quick flash of sports news either. Markelle may have become a hometown favorite here in Maryland. As I mentioned previously, he attended DeMatha H.S. in Hyattsville Maryland. I don't know if this sports news was broadcast by ESPN. Some of you may have seen it too. MARKELLE IS PUTTING THE MAGIC ON THE MAP!!!

As long as we play hard and compete then I'll have no problem with a loss tonight.

Decent watch..

If we trade AG it's gonna be a massive massive mistake

Thanks, Hedo.

Isaac has defensive player of the year upside. Fultz has definite star moments and the pedigree to give him that kind of ceiling. This month alone he has a 6 steal game, the highest single game +/- in the post Dwight era, and a 12 point 4th quarter against another playoff team. We played the draft pick game already and it didn't work. It requires considerable luck and the right guy to be there and we're not in a place to sacrifice seasons of guys we already have. And is Boston succeeding simply because of jaylen Brown and Tatum's talent? Or are they succeeding because they added those guys to a 48 win team that had good vets to teach them how to win? Is Toronto succeeding simply because of siakam and Fred Vanvleet's talent? Or are they succeeding because they added those guys to a 56 win team that had good vets to teach them how to win? What about Utah with Donovan Mitchell? I think a lot of player's value is natural but a large underrated portion is putting them into the best position to succeed. I don't think you can just lose for several years and gather a ton of young players together and expect them to turn into winners. It's why Phoenix hasn't succeeded with their 10 lotto picks in the last 9 drafts. It's why the Lakers looked terrible before they dumped all their young players. It's why Minnesota hasn't had any sustained success despite being in the lottery almost every year since 2005. You gotta get talent then develop it. You can't just let the talent lose and develop bad habits.

Oh so now it doesn't matter if it's a center. Well good news, we have a number 1 pick point guard who is the best prospect since we started our rebuild other than Zion and a potential DPOY type player. Mission accomplished. Now let's develop them.

It’s never useless to enlighten yourself. You don’t have to believe me, that’s immaterial. I don’t say things without good reason to back it up though and in this case it’s easily verifiable.
