Hornets beat the Kings 122-116 and snap their 8-game losing streak. Oubre had 31 points, Ball had 23 points (and fouled out), and Hayward had 19 points on 8/12 FGs. Sabonis had 28 points and 23 rebounds, and Fox had 37 points. King could've won if they made their free throws. Kings were 17/31 FTs, while the Hornets were 17/23 FTs.
Wolves kick Dallas butt most of the game without their twin towers on a SEGABABA. Now I'm with those hoping JW's green shoots of development sprout fast, but I've always sorta coveted Naz Reid for the dubs, and the Wolves seem to be thriving with him as the starting five. Oh and he's only 23. Anybody wanna tell me why he shouldn't be a target to wear the blue and gold?
If the Pelicans lose and the Suns win, then Pelicans will fall to #4 of the West and will be on a four-game losing streak, while the Nuggets will move to #2 and Suns will move to #3.
DDV has been playing well enough that I don't miss GPII all that much. For one thing, DDV is a much better ball handler. It would have been great if the Warriors could have kept them both, but it's hard to argue that they made the wrong decision given the luxury tax burden.
For those that wants to have a good chuckle by writers who think stars should be able to do whatever they want because their name is in the marketing material… and wants to put Steph out to pasture.
This team and its motion offense rely more on BBIQ than BBQ chicken and Donte seems to be higher than average. Using a 1-5 tier system (1= Genius, 3= Ave), I'm keen to know if there is a consensus on how our roster ranks in terms of BBIQ...
My novice attempt: (updated from feedback)
1 Andre, Dray, Steph
2 Looney, Donte
3 Klay, Wiggins, Moody
4 Poole, Kuminga
5 Wise, JMG
I put Klay and Poole as below average because it seems they need coaching/reminding to stop smashing the dribble/shoot buttons on their controllers!
