Under Doug Christie, #Kings over-rely on DeMar’s offense, which has: (1) made the offense more stagnant and predictable (especially in late game situations) and (2) made DeMar’s already atrocious defense much worse because he’s prioritizing his offense #NBASky

In doing Big Number research recently, I found three players in the 80th percentile or higher in The BBall Index's perimeter isolation D, matchup difficulty, defensive playmaking, ball screen navigation, passing lane D and rim protection metrics: Amen Thompson, Alex Caruso ... and Javonte Green.

I’m okay with Kevin Hart coming back next year if we can have a nice, normal basketball court in return.

Mark Jones just pointed out on the broadcast that De'Aaron Fox took 18(!) free throw attempts tonight for the Spurs. Meanwhile, the Kings as a team have 7 near the end of the 3rd quarter in Dallas.

Refs plan is to give #Mavs another win but hopefully #Kings can overcome it. Every Mavs drive = And1. Every Kings drive = fuck you #NBASky

The NBA trade deadline came down to a final table: Warriors, Suns and Heat. GS and Miami chopped the final pot, ending the Jimmy Butler drama, while the Suns begin an entirely new, uncomfortable one with Kevin Durant. Story with Brian Windhorst and Shams Charania. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

League source confirms that the Kings have acquired Jake LaRavia from the Memphis Grizzlies. Alex Len and Colby Jones are on their way to Washington along with 2028 second round pick. It's part of a multi-team trade. ESPN first.

While you were busy dreaming up fake trades, the Blazers won for the eighth time in nine games. No, really. Portland 121, Phoenix 119 (OT). Deandre Ayton 25 points, 20 rebounds. Fittingly, Suns couldn't rebound a free throw on game's final play.

The #Wolves get to be super physical and Rudy almost takes out a player’s diaphragm. No foul. Meanwhile, Sabonis breathes on a player. Foul on #Kings #NBASky

Lakers get gifted Luka and were able to keep a 1st to trade for a 5. What a masterclass in negotiating against yourself from the Dallas Mavericks! Nico Harrison should read "Getting to Yes" by Robert Fisher and William Ury and learn the basics of a negotiation. #nbasky #nba

I’ve been covering the NBA for 37 years. Almost nothing that happens - deals, free agent signings, draft choices, coach hiring/firings - rises to the level of, as the great Ben Bradlee used to call them, “Holy S—t” stories. You just used to crazy. This is a “Holy S—t” trade.

I guess a deal is close b/c Fox is so checked out. Barely handling the ball or playing defense. Just waits for catch & shoots on offense #NBASky

This Thunder Kings game is atrocious to watch. It’s pay per whistle night again for the refs #NBASky

Brandon Miller suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist and is out indefinitely, Hornets say. Miller is averaging a career-high 21 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists through 27 games this season. Tough loss for Charlotte, which already own the league’s fifth-worst record.

A coach who WON tonight (rightfully) criticized the NBA officiating. And these are pretty damning comments because Bickerstaff grew up around the NBA and knows the system. Like coaches, people are sick of the inconsistent referees and don’t want to watch the NBA b/c of it #NBASky
