That shot chart is epic. Legendary.Jazz with an absurd 130 ORtg again...
This is what I'm talking about when I say we are legit contenders because of the level of basketball we are playing rn and the composition of the team.
Anybody who is saying "oh we're just beating up on the Queens" or saying that we're just playing like this because of weak schedule, is missing the bigger picture.
Lots of teams win games against weak opponents, but they don't do it by playing at THIS high of a level. They don't do it by having the #1 rated offense over a 15 game stretch.
It's the level of play that is impressive. Not the wins. This level of play is capable of beating anyone.
It’s what we all expected in the offseason. And this:
According to two sources who witnessed the interaction, Joerger told Divac, in a passive-aggressive jest, that he had negotiated an in-season trade with the Mavericks that would finally bring Doncic their way.
Cue the record scratch. As if this topic wasn’t touchy enough already.
Just two months before, Joerger’s public comments about the Kings not drafting Doncic were widely perceived as being critical of the front office.
“I think perhaps there was an idea that there was a ceiling on him,” he had said then. “I don’t see it, unfortunately for us.”
What’s more, Joerger’s insistence that Bagley come off the bench had caused frustration all season long and played a pivotal part in the coach’s well-chronicled clash with former assistant general manager Brandon Williams. It wasn’t just the fans, it seemed, who were fixated on the decision not to draft Doncic.
So Divac, unamused by his coach’s barb, fired back.
“Do I get their coach, too?” he said in reference to the Mavericks’ Rick Carlisle.
Kirilenko used to do near that himself some games, and fans here treated him like dog doo doo and broke him.We had 7 steals and 4 blocks tonight. Nice! We haven't been great at being disruptive like that this season.
Kirilenko broke himself. Or, more realistically, he never really was that savior we envisioned who would carry us after the Stockton and Malone era.Kirilenko used to do near that by himself , and fans here treated him like dog doo doo and broke him.
