There's a pic going round of all the Balkans guys having dinner together and it's so heartwarming to me for some reason. Vuc, Dragic, Jokic, Doncic, Boban are all there with beers haha.

“As Markelle Fultz turns a corner in Orlando, Brett Brown's firing by Philadelphia 76ers feels especially cruel.”

Geez. At least Philly is not bitter. There roster moves over the last two years have been awful, and that’s on them. In terms of Fultz, I’m glad we’ve seen flashes of his potential as a 22 year old, and I’m hopeful he can still develop into a really good point guard.

They would have a ridiculously good basketball (and football) team. But maybe if Yugoslavia stayed as one country there wouldn't be as many opportunities for everybody to flourish

Who knows honestly but they have produced a lot of great players in that region lately. Amazing when you consider it's a total area less than half the size of Texas.

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out for the remainder of the first-round series against the LA Clippers due to a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, the team announced Friday evening.

My goodness! I know that someone on this board mentioned his history of injuries for the last 2 seasons.

This is why I feel the 2020 playoffs should be cancelled. Is it worth it? I mean, this is not normal--I'm referring to all of the injuries that are occurring in the Bubble.

He has shown measurable growth over the past 2 seasons, I really think he would continue to grow into a all-star caliber PG if his seasons were uninterrupted.

   This is where we are, he is paid. He will be here next year. Show us something. It's his fourth year. He is healthy.

Boy it’s really fun watching these natural explosive scooters going at it... then I remember how our FO seems to bake the exact opposite in building a team

It is getting very depressing.
