As a @SacramentoKings fan I knew this #nbafinals was coming: @knicks v @spurs. Mike Brown, the right coach the Kings fired vs @swipathefox , the asset the Kings traded for a liability no one else wanted. What an absolute joke. Great job, @Vivek . Brilliant
The Kings can use their reputation to their advantage in future free agency and any other negotiations. Bide your time here for a year or two and it guarantees you a trip the finals immediately on your next team.
Multiple sources confirm the phones have been ringing nonstop since the MLB expansion bid announcement in West Sacramento with investors wanting to visit as soon as next Tuesday. @kcranews
Barkley is far more charming and willing to laugh at himself and be self deprecating. Draymond has the worst of Shaq’s insecurities/defensiveness with none of Diesel’s humor.
Aside from being one of the greatest players in NBA history and an all-time great TV personality, Charles Barkley is one of the nicest, decent human beings in sports. You should watch how he treats people who cannot do a single thing for him. With all due respect to Draymond, I honestly don’t think I could listen to him over a whole NBA season.
Rumblings have predictably started about progress on the A’s ballpark slowing as available funding is depleted. The $1 billion funding shortfall remains unaddressed. No amount of breathless cheerleading by local journalists can alter that simple reality.
Charles Barkley in his four seasons as a Houston Rocket: 16.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 4.0 box plus/minus
Draymond Green’s last four seasons: 8.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 0.5 box plus/minus
Precious: "I've been on a lot of winning teams, and it hasn't been as fun.
Our record does not reflect the camaraderie of everyone… it's that joy of, 'Hey, we're going to go out there and give our best…'
It's not always like that everywhere else."
Maybe teams like Wizards/Jazz/Kings/Pelicans/Bulls/Nets wouldn’t have to “tank” to try to get good drafts picks if San Antonio wasn’t awarded 3 top 4 picks 3 years in a row, or if the play in Hawks wasn’t awarded the number 1 overall pick, or Dallas getting the first pick

The two sets of free throws shown were the result of:
1) Christie wanting to stop play so he could call his use-it-or-lose-it timeout before time dropped below 3 mins.
2) Cardwell fouling Seth during a live rebound, and the Warriors being in the bonus.
McDermott, the same guy who gave the foul after being instructed, made a 3 the very next possession from a set play Christie drew up.
This sequence is “The Vivek”
1. Dumb trade to clear cap space for a dumber move (Jonas/Saric)
2. Dumb overpay signing (Schroeder)
3. Undermined ASAP w/ next move (Russ)
Then…
4. 2nd dumb trade to fix original dumb move (Hunter)
5. Lost an asset (Ellis)
6. Less cap space
