There are a lot of Brians. Half my in-laws are named Brian.

Rodney Hood and Brice Sensabaugh: who is better?

that was Brian Williams. different guy. the fish had it right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Grant

meanwhile Boler was perplexed about how the Bulls were on such "a heater" from three (when all the shots were wide open) and Thurl said that Hendricks was "very consistent" shooting threes and that Hardy has such a "luxury" as coach to be able to have both Collier and Clayton as his point guards...

in year 1 traded away two all-star guards, a 3-time defensive player of the year, 2 other starters, and several rotation players for a pile of spare parts and future draft picks. they even let the coach bail. that's a half-tank? it is one of the most spectacular tear-downs in recent NBA history.

so in year 1 and year 2 of the tank, they weren't able to totally overcome the coaches' and players' efforts, and get high enough in the draft. in year 3 they did "succeed" doing that and then failed to get lucky in the lottery. in year 4 we are back to what happened in year 1 and 2. for me...

It turns out that deploying a strategy that is against the interests and motivations of all the coaches and players that actually participate in the games and is also against the rules of the NBA is difficult to make work.

why didn't Clayton play? did Ace take all his minutes?

Nurk and layups don’t agree.

ESPN is saying it's the 5th worst home defeat in NBA history.

all scoring is up so blowouts are also up?

Looks like plus-minus stats only go back to the 96/97 season. Still an amazing accomplishment. Congrats Cody!!

It’s an all-time NBA record?!?! https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-worst-plus-minus-in-a-game-in-history

What was the biggest lead in the game? 57?
