He actually looked like an end of the bench big with the Nuggets in his very short time. I'm actually a little surprised he isn't on an NBA roster.

That's pretty much exactly how I would describe Mozgov on both sides of the ball. He is amazingly average in just about every way for a center other than his size which is a big plus, which actually makes him a decent player.

I didn't want anything to do with McGee, I didn't like the trade when it happened and I was against the contract when they re-signed him. And don't think that Vesely is a good player, but he was surprisingly decent when he was with Denver. He has no idea how to play basketball, but Karl had him in a good position to succeed.
Good article on Whiteside: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/heat/2015/02/05/hassan-whiteside-long-path-to-nba-success/22943855/. Love that he basically got kicked out of the D-League during his first stint.
As an aside, the fact that Eric Musselman is now an assistant coach at LSU tells you all you need to know about the talent pool from which the Kings have been picking their coaches since Adelman left.

Which is exactly what you need when your 3 best players are so good. Same thing goes for Smith/Shumpert (both do one thing well...Simth shooting an open 3 and Shumpert on the defensive end) without being overtly bad in some other aspect of their game.

Kevin Durant (ankle) said on Friday that "whoever want my [All-Star] spot can play me one-on-one for it."
This would be much, much better than any All-Star Game. Durant is the reigning MVP and while his 2014-15 hasn't been nearly as productive as last year, he's still an elite player in the NBA. Additionally, he expects to play tonight and perhaps this quote suggests he's a lock to suit up against the Pelicans.

Too late for ownership to admit they were wrong and beg Malone to come back? Just a horrible horrible firing. If you aren't going to give a new coach of an obvious rebuidling franchise time, why hire him? Start 10-6 with Cousins, he goes down, Kings go in the tank as result & they fire him.Give me a ####### break.
DeMarcus Cousins said on Thursday night that this is "absolutely" the most frustrated he's been in Sacramento.
"It’s about having self respect, some type of pride and taking your job seriously, coming in every night ready to play regardless of the circumstances," Cousins said. "Just man up and play. Play hard. If we play hard and we get our brains beat in I’m fine with that. But to come out and just lay down like we did tonight is inexcusable." He added a players' only meaning wouldn't help the Kings. The Boogie naysayers have become a very small group these days and there's nothing wrong with him caring about winning games. He's an elite center in the NBA.

It was pretty bad but what you gonna do. No female either. I guess the dudes can suck too. Oh ya, this is the NBA.
Can't think of many places the Cavs struggle more at than at Indiana over recent years. Controlled the game til Indiana got red hot in the 4th and they wore out on the back end of the home/road. I can take those losses. No worries.

A week ago or so, local ATL sports talk had Aaron Goldhammer from Cleveland on. I've heard bits of it up here because it's hilarious and they roar at your local guys. If you happen to know where I can find the full interview please pass along. It was some annoying dude, with an annoying sidekick, and then an annoying woman mixed in too. No idea on their names. Goldhammer is annoying too....so it was pure gold.
edit: I have no idea if you are even in the ATL.

Should have accounted for the Dubs playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and having to travel east. I give credit to the Hawks for the win they were the better team tonight, but I still have no doubt the Dubs would win a series. Hawks played near perfect basketball shooting 15/27 from 3 point land (Bazemore, Scott, and Schroder went 7/7) and shot 37 free throws vs the GSW 15. I don't think Atlanta will have those huge advantages over a series. Otherwise the Warriors made and attempted more baskets (47/103 vs 38/77) and out rebounded (51 vs 38) the Hawks. Assist:TO ratio were pretty much the same.
Impressed with Teague and Schroder. Those guys got into the lane at will. Can't wait for the re-match at Oracle.

If you were starting a team today, age of player considered... Who do you take over Anthony Davis? He's such a complete player.

At one stage I thought that you did a wonderful thing when you acquired EVERYTHING from your dad. However, since then it has been ALL DOWN HILL. Your working with Isaiah Thomas & everything else regarding the Knicks. Bringing on Phil Jackson was a positive beginning, but lowballing Steve Kerr was a DISGRACE to the knicks. The bottom line is that you merely continued to interfere with the franchise.
As a knicks fan for in excess of 60 years, I am utterly embarrassed by your dealings with the Knicks. Sell them so their fans can at least look forward to growing them in a positive direction Obviously, money IS NOT THE ONLY THING. You have done a lot of utterly STUPID business things with the franchise. Please NO MORE.

These Clips are so stingy defensively. They will not surrender 135 points without a fight.

No talk about the Mavs win in here? I'll summarize:
Dirk still clutch.
Defense coming along.
Parsons getting comfortable.
Team getting dangerous. Project Rondo-integration to resume after All-Star Break.
Also: Blake out, Lillard in.

Hubie Brown is an all-time-great analyst, but his little "teaching points" after every... single... play... get so tiresome. Has he ever made a mistake?

So this week made a lot of sense for Toronto. Win at Washington. Lose at home to a depleted Bucks team then get smoked at home by Brooklyn. Come back and crush the Clippers and best the Spurs.
