The Grizz give up 103 points per game. They currently lead the NBA in that particular category. When you see the Grizz on the schedule do you think "oh man, gonna be tough to score tonight"?. Of course you don't. Nobody plays defense bro. Hold your threes and spank it to Klay some more.

They also play at a super slow pace. Look at points per 100 possessions. A much better indication of offensive/defensive production.

A stat that doesn't change too much from year to year for league leaders, despite the lazy narrative that no one plays defense anymore.

LeBron ducking the warriors tonight. He's scared of their lock down team defense.

After yesterday's story that the Pelicans were considering a counteroffer to the Lakers, I was half-expecting a trade to be announced either five minutes after the Super Bowl or first thing this morning.

Apparently the Celtics not backing up the Brinks truck for a flawed and injured midget is what's going to screw them with Davis.

If it wasn't that talking point it would have been something else. They're just trying to crater his value with other teams. Oddly enough Kyrie appears to be doing his part to help the Lakers.

NBA fathers sure have a lot of opinions that get printed.

The Bucks are one of the four teams Davis would sign an extension with if traded. Suck on that, Garpax.

I didn't really think it was possible that the Pelicans could ask for too much, but this feels like too much.
