Couldn’t this (have) be(en) Bones?

Felt kind of crass writing that. Like, maybe that’s not the kind of thing you say out loud. I guess I should turn it around and say I’m proud of him for getting on the court if he is dealing with a chemical imbalance.

I think it would be a little silly for him to be paid what Kawhi gets. He’s just not as consistent. I think it was brave of him to admit he deals with some psychological issues, and yet, it seems apparent to me that whatever these issues are that trouble him result in periods of streaky play. Other players…good night here, bad night there. When I see that PG has had a bad game I’m like…”oh no! The doldrums. This could be three weeks of mope here.”

He looked fine, he missed some shots at the basket that he tried to draw a foul on. Harden is looking like the better player right now (and it’s not that close) so maybe his deal should be less than Kawhi and Harden’s marginally.

Hopefully his stat-line indicates he’s bouncing back it would be amazing to have him hitting his averages. Even tonight he was more than four points below his average this year.

I like Boucher and Aldama. Boucher could be had cheaply. Straight up for Tucker with a 2nd round pick (maybe 2) as sweetener could work.

Aldama I think we can offer either Bones or Brown for straight up. Brown has 2 more years of contract control. I don’t see a need for Bones for the Grizzlies long term but they could see him as a backup to Jai whenever he’s back.

We just need someone who’s able to play 15 minutes of decent 4, both these guys are capable of doing so without costing anything major.

Well. Actually. I looked at his game tonight and he did better than I thought stats-wise. Three for five from the 3pt line 5 assists with 1 TO is very good for him. 7-13 solid. Huh. I guess I’m being too harsh but the eye test said close out on defense, if you are going to foul make it count, and go strong at the rim.

Was at the game tonight, team looked good offensively throughout, the defense was piss poor but they played like they knew they could buckle down at the end and seal it, which they did. Harden looks amazing now, he’s firmly the 2nd best player on the Clips. Perhaps the Clips haven’t extended PG13 because of this, they both might need to take a little less (and less than Kawhi).

Was that the most successful Grammy trip we’ve ever had? 6-1! All the while Paul George shooting a .37% field goal percentage. If he just hit his average you could tack 6 more points onto every win. Think it was something like 15 field goal attempts and him getting a little over 5 baskets I can’t help but wonder if he’s depressed with the contract extension that’s on the table or something? I mean…wild speculation, and one would assume a contract negotiation would only inspire you to kick more ass but his body language was reminiscent of that of a blown out tire.

James Harden for MVP. James Harden for the All Star Game. Name me another player (ok, not named Jokic) who has had a bigger impact on winning basketball games.
