Kevin Durant ruined his entire legacy by going to Brooklyn. He’ll never even get close to making another NBA Final let alone winning a championship. His career is gonna be defined by missed opportunities and stupid decisions. A failure.

Warriors are looking scary. Blowing out the Bucks with Curry only scoring 8 pts and Draymond not back yet. Nice to see Klay getting back in form after those injuries.

That team is in such an interesting position. They've got the old guard that can still play at a high level, Moody and Kuminga have shown some very positive glimpses, Poole just continues to develop and exceed expectations...at some point Wiseman is (hopefully) going to added to that mix as well.

KD drops 53, tells mayor to 'figure out' vax policy
Kevin Durant told New York City Mayor Eric Adams to "figure something out" in regard to the city's vaccination policy after leading the Nets to a win on Sunday.

You mean you can’t tell how much of a waste of time this spell in Brooklyn has become? He’s gonna get to an important playoff game….and Kyrie isn’t gonna be available because well…he’s Kyrie…and KD actually sticks up for him LOL. And they’re gonna lose again cuz they’re once again undermanned. He needs to find a better supporting cast and get away from Kyries cancerous ways.

KAT is one of the three most unguardable players in the NBA. The others are Jokic and Curry.

My entire attitude regarding the Bulls this season has been that the most important thing has been to show to the next free agent class that Chicago's an attractive destination to build a superteam, so I never had any real expectations for immediate contendership now and have been overall happy with that goal in mind. But man, have the Bulls completely lost their mojo the past few weeks.

You are correct - I was sure it was Boston but Minnesota is 11-2 since the break while the Celtics are 9-2.
EDIT: Make that 10-2 for the Celtics.

I take it back - Nurkic should have tossed the kid instead of the phone.
Anyway - the NBA fined him today for the incident:

Efficiency as a self-creator will be the next step for RJ and the one that will ultimately determine if he can become a title-caliber Robin (or even more) someday. That said, since the new year, Barrett has been averaging around 24ppg, 6rpg, & 3.5apg (vs 2.5TOs).
...doing so by shooting 38% from 3 & increasing his pts/drive (.524 vs .594), while almost doubling his drives per game (8.2 vs 16). Finally confident at this level in his handle, footwork, & offhand, the 21yo Barrett no longer looks like a robot on the court.
He even had a strong showing without Julius last night; when he went 10-19 (3-7 from 3) for 30pts, 3rebs, 3asts, 1stl, & 2TOs, while leading us to a wire-to-wire win over Charlotte...in the prior 3 games w/o Randle (against ATL, TOR, & OKC) RJ had struggled; going 4-20 from 3, posting 13 TOs to just 9 assists, and combining for -30 as "the man" in those 3 previous Randle-less performances.
So far it's a minuscule sample size and he was only really good in 1 of those 4 matches without Julius...that one coming against a hornets squad that seemed to have little interest in playing any defense on the night...but the kid just keeps developing faster than I hoped he would; so why shouldn't learning to create efficiently, come to him much quicker than I expect?
#s are either from this ringer article ( One Silver Lining for 10 Lottery-Bound NBA Teams ) or can be figured out just from perusing Barrett's gamelog.
