Atlanta have fired their coach after their big off-season has resulted in them going 14-20
I saw that headline but I'm not surprised at their immediate record despite their off-season signings so I think this is a little tough on the coach. Rondo, Bogdanovic and Gallinari were good pick-ups, but they're hardly the making of a super team. The roster has high potential though and Rondo is on a two year deal so with near-instant validation required I can see why management have done this. It'd be similar at the Suns if Chris Paul wasn't doing what he was brought in to do: first step is change the coach and then plan B is tinkering with the roster.
They were excellent pickups but with Bogdanovic having not played one game, he was the key man. He would take pressure off Trae and give them 20 ppg as well.
On another topic, the Pelicans had a very good win against the Jazz. It was a bit of a shootout which probably suited NOP more, but the Pelicans held their nerve. The Ball / Zion / Ingram trio is really starting to click.
Up till now Pels have been getting annihilated in shootouts. Their great shooting nights seem to be about par for other teams.

@act-crusader Spurs gave them a touch up today

Lebron's All Star team looks like he had all his picks first, then Durant! KD picked Kyrie with his first pick, over Luka, Steph, Kawhi, Joker....come on
Team mate politics! In an All-Star type game, Kyrie has that game in him.
LBJ’s starting lineup is something else though. And if there is a time that all three of Curry, Lillard and Luka on, then watch out 30 footers....

Steph Curry is a human cheat code when it comes to shooting the 3

Marks makes another move.
Six-time All-Star forward Blake Griffin has agreed to a deal to join the Brooklyn Nets for the rest of the season, his agent, Sam Goldfeder of Excel Sports, told ESPN on Sunday night. The Nets are using one of their veteran-minimum-contract slots to sign Griffin, sources said. Griffin informed Nets general manager Sean Marks of his decision to join Brooklyn's championship chase on Sunday evening, a reunion of sorts with his former Los Angeles Clippers teammate DeAndre Jordan.

Win or lose, Marks has had a GM of the year type season

Mike Conley is one of my favourite players but even I was cheering for the Chef in that one.
I’m not a betting man but I told a mate to put money on a Sabonis / Curry double and he turned his $50 into $$$$$$$....
@voodoo it wasn’t as fun as last year, but Greek Freak not missing a basket was still something to watch.

The ASG is stuuuuuuuupid
USA vs Rest of World would be so much better.
Can't see it ever happening too many bonuses from teams and sponsors for becoming an all star that the potential best would miss out in this case.

The “potential best” miss out every year though.
If you look at this years selections on the international team you would have had:
Embiid
Simmons
Antetokounmpo
Jokic
Doncic
Vucevic
Gobert
SabonisAnd although he’s represented USA, give Kyrie an International jersey. So that makes 9.
The other three spots I’d add, Jamal Murray, Pascal Siakam and Dragic.
They’d go up against a starting lineup of Lebron, Curry, Leonard, Durant, A. Davis
Bench : Beal, Harden, Lillard, George, Zion, Booker, Tatum
-
@act-crusader I did a quick count too of the ASG rosters before my earlier post. With the increased international talent in the NBA nowadays you could have two evenly matched teams.

Sounds more like Dr J than Giannis!

I just saw a report that LaMarcus Aldridge is leaving the Spurs. Sounds like pretty much immediately.
He's been really good for San Antonio, and i hope he goes somewhere with a shot at a ring.
