Maybe after he's played more than half a season?

I would think he's both a gerbil and not a gerbil, at least until we can see for ourselves.

Disagree strongly on the defense on that particular possession. It's a tie with a few seconds on the clock, you don't risk a foul by contesting that shot much more than he did.

A player may dribble a second time if he lost control of the ball because of: A field goal attempt at his basket, provided the ball touches the backboard or basket ring So definitely okay with backboard now, at least.

Which isn't the rim, but I guess the rules have changed.

Back in the days the ball had to hit rim in the NBA, but only had to be a legitimate shot attempt in FIBA, but that might have changed, of course. I don't really think this is a legit shot attempt, but I agree that it's fun and unique and don't really mind the non-call.

But he doesn't hit rim and then picks up the ball again?

Why is that not traveling?

The problem is that with 4 or 5 top picks up for grabs, your chance isn't 5%, but closer to 20%. Also a flat lottery would be 6.66% per team, so not so different from 5%.

It's kinda weird, but I also feel like Naz Reid just isn't anywhere like the Naz Reid of last year.

Could've used some upgrades down the stretch vs the Knicks, at least. I just watched the final 5m, and while he did get an impressively long 3 waved off (CP3 was pushed, but before the gather), Victor wasn't really impressive offensively down the stretch (although by all accounts he'd had an...

Kris Dunn? And their '31 FRP.

What about a 3 second rule for the corners?

But those hand pads! And the balance!

"shoot first"?

The injury report has most of them listed as being back relatively soon (November) where it says estimated return date, but they also all seem to be "not yet full contact drills" the lot of them. Alvarado is out until mid/late Dec, and seems like Zion is still "indefinitely" (despite Nov 25 as...

They could be, but those guys don't want to sit if they get healthy. How to keep losing then?

Murphy is somewhat back, but rusty and doesn't play back-to-back, Ingram also out vs Cavs tonight. Alvarado, CJ McCollum, Zion, Herb Jones, Jordan Hawkins, Dejounte Murray still out. Seems like Ingram is a short-term thing, but the injury report is not great reading for a Pelicans fan (or from...

Not guaranteed, no. We're currently sitting tied for third worst record with PHI and WAS (MIL and TOR are worse, but all have two wins).

The Cavs pick will be late, that's all but certain, but the Wolves pick still depends a lot on future injuries, I'd say. But the most likely outcome is obviously two relatively late picks.
