I definitely would've bet money that the player who would outscore Kobe's 81 points was Bam.

:sarcasm:

The Clippers are outscoring their opponents by 26 points per 100 possessions when Bennedict Mathurin and Kawhi Leonard share the court:

128 Offensive Rating (1st)
102 Defensive Rating (1st)
+26 Net Rating (1st)

Since LA acquired Mathurin at the deadline, he’s fit in perfectly.

SGA has been insane in the clutch lately. Definitely winning b2b MVP’s.

He deserves it. He should have received more recognition 2 years back but was only viewed as a dark horse candidate with Jokic being the consensus choice. The Thunder becoming a juggernaut last year though made it clear Shai was the real deal.

Won't be surprised if he gets another Finals MVP as well.

REPORT: The Warriors fear rushing Steph Curry back could re-aggravate his knee injury, per
@anthonyVslater
.

“Next season has become the season in this final Steph Era and I don't think at all the Warriors want to jeopardize that and this is from what I've gathered, an injury that they fear if you do put Steph back on the court and he's not quite ready, it could reinjure, reaggravate.”

I love the kings.

"Hmm, this guy has been the worst player in basketball since he was drafted, lets give him a look"

A few weeks later

"Hmm... he's even worse than advertised... give him a two year deal."

Dubs are a joke w/o Steph.

I'm happy for Seattle. I lived in the area for 4 years just before 2000. I went to a playoff game at Key Arena in the Payton/Kemp days. Their fans deserve their team back.

I know they retained the rights to the Supersonics name when they went to OKC. Hopefully they roll that back out without overthinking it.

More on possible NBA expansion.

See ESPN link below:


Shams CharaniaMar 16, 2026, 08:21 AM ET

Industry executives project proposals in the $7-10 billion range for each team and estimate that both markets would be among the NBA's top eight revenue generators. The market appeal of Las Vegas and Seattle, plus the parity-friendly collective bargaining agreement, will likely lead to a robust purchase market for expansion.

REPORT: Brandin Podziemski is expected to command an extension worth more than $39M this summer, per
@timkawakami
.

“I don’t know if Podziemski’s worth much more than the three-year, $39-million deal that Moody got in October 2024, but I’m positive that he will want more. I also am relatively sure that the Warriors won’t want to pay Podziemski anything near the $123 million they paid Jordan Poole in October 2022.”

Yo @Adrian we have an expansion thread from earlier in the year. Now that talks are moving quicker, maybe move the posts from here to there and direct traffic that way? Link

Potential NBA expansion draft rules

-Existing teams are allowed to protect up to eight (8) players

-Players eligible to be protected are players who are not on expiring contracts and Restricted Free Agents

- Teams must expose at least one (1) player

- Teams may not lose more than one (1) player in an expansion draft
would teams losing a player be compensated draft wise? and if both the new expansion teams are obviously western which two existing teams will move to the eastern conference

Nikola Jokić has recorded four straight triple-doubles, averaging 25.8 points, 15.5 rebounds, and 13 assists during the streak. Only two other players have ever matched those numbers over a four-game span: Wilt Chamberlain (twice, in 1968) and Oscar Robertson (1965).

And he’s playing at 85% since coming back.
