Kawhi playing big minutes on a tanking Clippers squad was not on my NBA bingo card this season.

I'm so happy I don't bet. The number of people tweeting @FBI because of DeMar is hilarious.

Sadly, we're facing multi-faceted problems magnified bc we're trying to "win now" with 23-year olds.

i.e. as much as there needs to be a conversation about Ime not coaching shyt, we've also witnessed Nick Nurse, Joe Mazzulla, Mike Malone, etc., not coach shyt, embarrass themselves, but still win bc they had better (or just more) top tier talent than the opps.

As it stands, KD is doing as much as one can expect for his age; exceeding expectations if anything. But Sengun is just inefficient. A back-to-the-basket finesse big that shoots below 50% from the field, below 30% from three, below 70% from freethrow, and a 6:3 assist:turnover ratio... that's not gonna get it done.

But he's also 23. Same with Amen, who's just a taller Tony Allen without the trap house vibes. I mentioned last year that us overachieving would be a double-edged sword moving forward.

Sengun is really disappointing. Closer to Doma Sabonis/Enis Kanter than the Joker

When you look at it...

DEN
Jokic is Jokic
Murray is flawed but is great at his niche (PnR ish/independent creator) which compliments Jokic
Watson and Gordon are capable 2-way players, can have big nights

OKC
Shai is Shai
Chet, flawed but again a great niche (defensive anchor/floor spacer) which compliments Shai
JDubb and AJ Mitchell, capable 2-way players, can have big nights

More or less can have similar breakdowns for SAS and MIN, erratic as both can be. With us, KD is KD but right now Sengun isn't great at anything complimentary nor do we have other big game players outside of injured Fred and what ppl “hoped” Amen would be this year. We’ll see

Speaking of Watson, didn’t even realize yet another hamstring injury struck Denver. He out for a month.

Feels like Gordon dropped 50 then been in street clothes ever since

Also, Edward wanted to return to Houston but Ime once again told him to kick rocks

Hence the move to Cleveland

Damn
