Sabonis is absolutely abused on defense in certain matchups that would hurt in the playoffs. Nurkic may too. I regret other more obvious moves way more. Jones should've been fired years ago

Huerter's another guy that always seems to hit 95% of his jump shots against the Suns.

Undoubtedly. I've long said that Jones is nothing more than a "yes" man and that his role is a figurehead and not much else. His EotY award was a joke and wasn't deserved no matter how badly some feel about it. Dude is not what we need, but honestly neither is Ishbia to this point. We need a real GM who has full autonomy and an owner willing to give it to him.

Beal should get his nose reset tomorrow and take the extra time to heal up.

I like how Royce was ready to attack for the rebound in that Durant shot.

Durant being greedy and taking a doubly contested jumper rather than baiting the defense and passing back out is typical. At least he made it.

At least it's going to be all star break if that Beal hammy is more than a one game thing.

This team is so horrendously poor defensively. And the Kings are doing just as they have all season: Take full advantage of it.

We are such a disaster on defense and anytime we are on offense without Booker. KD needs to be the focal point and knock off the turnovers. Same story all year

I think passing on Haliburton was the worse move.

Sabonis just folds in the playoffs but I much prefer him over what we got in Nurkic.
