Zach is one of my favorite non Lakers. Hardworking guy who made a big leap. That sucks, especially for an athlete like him.

what do you guys think about Devin Booker? I'm really liking his game as of late, he's still really young but I think he's got a lot of potential.

He's legit. Huge fan. I would trade anyone not named dlo for him.

Aha, I don't know if I'd go that far in terms of trades, but a backcourt of DLO and Booker I think could be pretty good. He had a really good first half last night against the Bucks but he fizzled out in the second half, although Phoenix is overall pretty bad anyway (they're ahead of us in the draft ) so I don't put it at all entirely on him (plus he got doubled teamed a lot), he still ended up with 31 on 47%.

Booker seems super streaking on the hot/cold front.

He scored 27 points in a quarter and then didn't score anymore the rest of the game I think. He scored 4 in the first quarter and 27 in the 2nd and then wasn't effective offensively the rest of the night I think.

He strikes me as a guy who can get hot on Klay kind of levels, but doesn't sustain it.

Yeah, that's the same game. I think what caused him to go cold in the second half was his TOs, he made some pretty bad passes to start the 3rd that I think affected his overall play. The night before that game, he hit the game winner against SAC (also scored 33), the Klay comparison, albeit perhaps too early to say now, are on point, with a young Klay that is.

And the Paperclips are out here in a tight game with the Knicks (ahead by 5 just now and apparently that's the biggest lead of the game. Ok, then...)

No, Jalen Rose, Klay Thompson is not 15 years old. Therefore he is over halfway to 30 years old.

I saw him on there, didn't really pay attention to what he was saying...pretty sure it was somethings like "In my opinion, both Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are All Star level players"....

Anyone who thinks Westbrook is the better player than Curry lives in an alternate universe.

Also good God, Billy Donnovan is an awful coach, he makes no adjustments whatsoever. This lineup right now for OKC is horrendous

Good.

Anyway, OKC's glory was shortlived... (The cupcake chant is not working when you're down 18.)
