James Harden has the deepest Trade Request bag in league history. He's done a classic just give up. He's gone on a party tour. Now he's slandering his own GM. One of the greats.
Mike Brown lights into the refereeing tonight in the Kings loss in Milwaukee. Brings out a laptop in his press conference to show film of the non-foul and foul that has him ticked off. Here is the five minute soundbite.
Doc said today that most teams try to rest their players during games, but the Clippers are experimenting with resting guys during practice, which could instead save them for games. The Clippers rested Kawhi for almost half of training camp for this reason.
If the NBA fines a team for resting its players BUT that team wins the game, the league should be required to refund the fine so that the players can use it to throw a baller pizza party.

Me (inhaling): “The Bulls are back.”
Instructor: “Breathe out and let go of anything you don’t need.”
Me (exhaling): “Bing bong.”
If LeBron is looking for his next challenge, I just noticed the Chicago Bulls haven’t won basketballs championship for 22 years. Breaking the streak in the 23rd year would be poetic.
