Collin Sexton has turned into a solid point guard, better than I expected.

Sexton has come around but he's no max player, neither is Jarrett Allen. They're not even All-Stars in the East. I really hope Allen isn't maxed out because that will help make Ayton's case for a max extension that much easier.
More teams need to let guys hit the open market to show players they won't get max deals elsewhere either.

Ayton's next deal will be for the maximum; there's no point fretting about that. The question is who will be paying it.

Imagine your primary ball handler getting hack-a-Shaq’d in a playoff game.

You can't foul guys deliberately unless they have the ball. Simmons is their primary ball handler so its a liability to keep him on the floor and running the offense if he can't sink free throws.

I mean if he would just not shoot as much he would be so much more effective.

You are correct. I thought it was longer. I must have been thinking of a proposal that was declined or something.
Here's a good article that details the Hack-A-Shaq rules. I think its funny that Shaq will always have his name associated with poor free throw shooting rules.

He usually doesn't shoot as poorly as he did tonight. A whopping 3-19. He was 13-16 from the FT stripe also. If he doesnt shoot then he doesn't get 16 free throws.

At least in this case he wasn't going after any players. He ran on the court and jumped to touch the backboard while everyone was on the other side of the court. Not saying that its ok, but its not as dangerous as it sounds. Just a drunk dude being stupid, not necessarily being a terrible person.

The fan picked the wrong time to do such a stunt otherwise the consequences might not be as severe.

I was watching the game when it happened. It didn't look good when he was leaving the court.

That Portland Denver series is totally schizo. Just wild swings between each game and blowout following blowout.

The talent on this Nets team is just unfair. Those three guys are so good.

Say what you will about Kyrie, but his jump shot is so pretty.
