I thought Wiseman was starting to play better? That move was up there for me that surprised me the most from the deadline. If he could've ever gotten close to what his potential was GS would've been even more of a threat for years to come with him and Wiggins taking over when the big 3 hangs them up. I know GS and Phoenix has had their struggles this year but I didn't realize the Kings has built a 3 game lead on the rest of the divison. I never would've thought a division with the defending champs,A Suns team that been solid the last two years,Clips and a team with LeBron would all be following the Kings half way through the season. I still see Suns,Warriors and Clippers passing them before the season ends but they have a nice young team that should be really good years to come. Wiseman barely played. Very strange situation all year where he played early in the year but his minutes (and the 2nd unit as a whole) were god awful and gave up leads left and right. Then he started going back and forth to the G-League team, sprained an ankle, back and forth, then just on the active GS roster but never getting in games. He’s played twice since Jan. 1, and both came within the last 4 games. There’s talk that Steph/Draymond didn’t want him playing because the veterans can and have provide them better minutes and whatnot. Tough situation for Wiseman barely playing his year in college, then getting hurt early in his NBA career, and trying to grow and develop within an organization competing for championships and not being ready to contribute to that. I know anybody can turn it around but if he couldn't do anything with a stacked roster like the Warriors has had,its hard to believe he's ever gonna be anything more then a solid bench player in his career and that might be pushing it. This is off the topic but I've kept forgetting to tell you but Poole suppose to be in the next wave of NBA Pops from the rumored list. Don't know how big of a fan you're of his but if you like me,I buy about every player from my teams. |

Yeah I would absolutely get a Poole Pop. I get all the ones for my teams, there might be a Raiders one or two I’m missing.. I know I‘m missing Amari. I debated getting Lakers ones to represent them other than Kobe, but once LeBron went there I’m like nah I don’t want LeBron pops 😂 and sadly I did get Lonzo Ball before that happened. |

This Ja stuff is nuts,dont really know what to believe but if its any truth to it he's gotta be smarter then that. D@mn man,I get most people has gotten upset playing ball at least once in their lives,no matter its a NBA game or just a pickup with friends but he's gotta understand he's the one that his whole career could've gotten f*cked up over something that dumb.
Glad to finally see KD on the court in a Suns jersey,I know it was just against a bad Hornets team but I liked how Book looked with a guy that took some of the offensive pressure off him. I don't really see a safe playoff spot in the west right now to shoot for besides the #1 seed and Denver not gonna let that slip away,so I'm just hoping for a division title for the third year in a row and hope for the best.

Are the “3rd quarter Warriors” back!?!
Down 23 in 2Q/17 at half vs. POR on Tuesday: 39-17 in 3rd, 36-23 in 4th to win by 18.
Tonight down 11 at half vs. LAC: 42-16(!) in 3rd, currently 11-2 in 4th to lead by 24. My goodness.

They absolutely took over the game in the second half,you can tell Poole has been paying a lot of attention to Steph over the years |

They absolutely took over the game in the second half,you can tell Poole has been paying a lot of attention to Steph over the years Kerr had a bit of a one-on-one talk with Poole in practice recently. Was really struggling lately. Since then he’s been much better the last two games helping these comebacks. Really found the stroke from three in the 2nd half tonight. Nice to not have to lean so much on Klay leading the way too. |

If everyone keeps playing how they are right now,the West is gonna be brutal to get through this postseason. I thought after the trade deadline it would be 3,maybe 4 teams tops that can make it out but the Warriors are firing on all cylinders now without Steph,the Kings aren't looking like they're going anywhere,Dallas is impressive with Kyrie and I can't see the Clippers being a easy out if Leonard can stay on the court. Its only been couple games with KD on the floor but I'm loving how Book is playing with him and CP3 looks better too,not counting how Okogie has came a long good as the 5th guy.

D@mn it,already. He must be more fragile then a piece of glass at this point. No way he's gonna last through 4 playoffs series without going down,he couldn't even make it four games. Welp,that's out of my system. Back to hoping for the best lol.

There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.. I hope your have a lot of away games left lol,seems like its a good chance at them meeting up in the first rd. What is CP3/Curry beef about? I knew they wasn't huge fans of each other from the Rockets series but didn't know it seems to run this deep. |

We have more away left than home. 5 in a row on the road starting tonight, so we’ll probably go 1-4. |

KD can't bet back quick enough,d@mn this team can't beat anybody rn. I know they don't have a great bench like they did when this run first started but so disappointing seeing the big 3 struggle this bad to compete with teams like the Magic.

Playing against the Lakers AND Scott Foster is a tough task.
Meanwhile Steph shoots ZERO free throws in Dallas, yet crybaby flopper Luka has the nerve to flash the money sign at the refs as if they’re on our side. Frankly it’s embarrassing the way he tries to draw fouls.. he literally took a back bump with under a minute left on a play where Draymond barely touched him and whined that there was no call.

Happy that Phoenix has finally got things going in the right direction again,hopefully this last week gives them enough time to work out some problems and get ready for one of those division rivals in the first round. Don't know which one worries me the most,Warriors are the Warriors and Steph and Klay can go off at any time,Clips has Leonard and never seems to go away and the Lakers has woke up from their nap and looks to be one of the most dangerous teams right now since they've gotten healthy. Not even counting the Pelicans,if Zion gets back,they can beat about anyone.

Suns locks up the #4 seed and just gotta wait now to see who they getting from the Cali division teams. After the LA/LA game last night,seems its between the Clips and Warriors. I thought Suns/Warriors could be a West Finals matchup and might get it in the first round,should be fun series either way. Wouldn't mind them sitting KD and Paul until the playoffs start and give Payne and those backup bigs some time with Book and Ayton.

Im not gonna complain but what the h*ll was they thinking sitting Luka after the first? I think it was gonna be a up hill battle to get that 10th spot but I could definitely see the Thunder dropping the games needed for them to get in.
