All NBA players whine about calls but do you know what I love about SGA? He whines less than any superstar I've seen.

The worst character trait about sga is that he’s a little bland. He’s the mike trout of basketball. I mean that endearingly, of course

The guy I didn't see coming with OKC and the person who might determine their true ceiling is Williams.

I figured he played a little over his head last season -- then he got better THIS season.

I think I just fell victim to draft status bias there. You just don't figure someone that falls outside of the top 10 is going to be THIS good. And he's really really good.

And maybe I need to give Mark Daigneault more credit as well. I mean he has that entire team seemingly playing smart offense and aggressive, sound defense.

OKC is playing damn well and should clearly be the favorites out of the West right now. But a lot of this could've been said last season and they pooped on their shoes.

Old guy fan will love him then. Spread the word.

Aint nothin more they like when a guy scores a TD and hands the ball to the ref.

Respect the game!

Looks to me like he's wanted to give everyone a reminder (including and especially the Lakers organization) about who he is after that trade. Usually he's saved these efforts for the playoffs in recent years.

Good Canadian kid. Too bad he plays with a bunch of chokers.

AD also just got hurt with a non-contact injury

Austin Reaves may put up 50 today. And he's stealing balls and flipping no-look dimes. This is a clinic while surrounded by G-Leaguers.
[Reply]

Looked like a groin maybe?

Was a bummer because he was in full killer mode before he went down.

I still don't think there are 5 more impactful players in the league when he's tuned up.

The full Street Clothes experience in one game.

I can’t imagine there’s anybody on the planet who thought Reaves would be this good coming out of OU, not even his family.
[Reply]

AD injured already? :-)
[Reply]

Mark Williams trade rescinded. The NBA is fucking wild, man :-)
[Reply]

Have to admit that I felt a lot more confident in my Lakers to the Finals prediction when their starting lineup projected to have Williams in it than Jaxson Hayes, but Luka and LeBron will find a way. Need to add a buyout vet big now.

Mark Williams' physical with the Lakers showed multiple issues and the team failed him on the exam, sources tell ESPN. The physical was not failed due to his back, however. https://t.co/lY4XrSIlHf

Pretty clear now that the Hornets were trying to get some value out of a player who was simply ****ed from an injury perspective before he became the next Greg Oden.
