Golden State sucking, but the Mavs playing to their level just enough to get our hopes up. I think I know how this one will end...because I've seen the last 23 Warriors games.

Minimum salary if this were a full season is $854,389 (third year player), so divide that by 82 games = $10,419 per game. 5 games on his first 10-day contract = $52,097. 3 games left this season = $31,258 to keep him the rest of the way. Make that $83K in three weeks.

Even though they are called 10-day contracts I believe the players are still paid per game. Minimum salary if this were a full season is $473,604, so divide that by 82 games = $5,776 per game. 5 games on his first 10-day contract = $28,878. 3 games left this season = $17,327 to keep him the...

Just noticed that as well and came in to see if it had been mentioned. Hopefully the Blazers players are still apathetic.

Even without Kobe, it's hard to see GS beating the Lakers. BUT, even in the tankfest, I have to believe that every team wants to beat the Lakers. If the Warriors hang in there a while, I'd like to think they have some chance. Am I just being a draft-pick homer? Maybe, but Accuscore gives the...

Absolutely it has a huge effect on the value from this pick, I just don't think it has a huge affect on the overall return from the Deron trade, which is how I read your original statement. I think you said "swing" the value of the trade, which I took to mean that the Jazz win or lose the trade...

Phoenix has OKC, LAC (back-to-back), DEN, @utah, and SA (back-to-back). I originally had them closing 1-4 as well, but I think they are playing better lately. They've only lost one home game in the last month (to the Spurs), plus they have recent road wins in Sac, Utah, Minn and Hou. I assume...

Does it? Favors, Kanter and Harris are already a done deal. The only potential difference now is most likely #8-#9 this year vs. maybe #10-#14 next year. Lower pick hurts the value, potentially weaker draft hurts the value, but I don't know if it's enough to materially alter the value of the...

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned or reported (by any official news outlet, only in comments on YouTube, etc.). As West poked Hayward, he said what seems to be "bitch *** white boy." Pretend the roles were reversed. Any idea what would be the fallout if Hayward called West "bitch ***...

This has been one of my issues with the playoff push. In theory we're trying to get there to introduce the young team to the postseason, but I worry that they REALLY young players (except Hayward) won't even play by that time. I don't think he needs to punch anyone, but he needs to stand his...

IIRC they signed Carroll to a two-year deal. At the very least the Jazz have a team option on him. So yeah, there's a chance. Probably a pretty good one.

Not the Hack a Shaq, but the "run the PnR at Shaq" that the Jazz used in the '97 and '98 playoffs. They'd just run the pick and roll with Stockton and whichever big Shaq was guarding. Shaq wouldn't show, and immediately Stockton was free. You know what happens when you set Stockton loose...

At least a few differences: *SA was at home. One benefit of them missing the Utah game was they didn't even have to travel. *Not a back-to-back. *After they sat out against the Jazz, the plan kind of backfired when they lost to the Jazz and then to the Lakers (one of the games they were...

And possibly Richard Jefferson. I'd really like to be a fly on the wall when these diagnoses are given. The official line on Lee was that his lateral movement hasn't been great, so they sent him for an MRI and found an injury. I may even buy that one. But that Jefferson's knee is suddenly...

All is not lost yet, but the Jazz just made the task a lot more difficult.

Hey Joe, you're probably right in some cases, but I still wonder in others. In GS it's such a huge part of the team's future (top 7 pick or nothing) that they probably know. They have a beat writer who offers a daily tweet titled "TANK WATCH." I still wonder about a team like the Jazz, where...

Early games not helping the Jazz. Cavs lose, but Toronto and New Jersey both win. Ugh.

Problem is they already caught fire to get to that point. Now the fire has been put out and the Mavs scored 8 in a row.

Warriors down 14 at the half, which is better than it was about 2 minutes ago. Still, not sure tonight is the night for an unexpected win. Hope GS proves me wrong!

Signs that Portland and Golden State really don't care: Down the stretch of a close game...zero timeouts. Signs that GS cares even less: Nate Robinson is in the game and calling his own number for a contested jumper. Portland gets rebound up 4 points with 33 seconds left, and Golden State...
