Revelry in the Dark

Haven’t most teams already played like 56-58 games? Seems like next year’s schedule has to move the break up seeing as how just under 75% of the schedule has been played before a major stoppage

also seeing as how we're all pedantic Number Heads here I'd add that 56-58 is 70% of 82, not 75%!!


edit: plus everyone knows the first 2-3 weeks of the season don't count

the big mystery with fultz now is why he's allowed to practice anywhere remotely near where the media might be and why he hasn't been shipped off to an air gapped bunker gym somewhere in the middle of the desert already.

Isolating and ostracizing a kid who may have anxiety issues sounds like an A+ plan.


Larry Nance and Jordan Clarkson might have opinions about the organizations loyalty to their players.

As Chairman Kaga used to say, IF MEMORY SERVES ME, Fultz was fully sick in summer league, is still only 19, has like 2 more years to go before he should be evaluated as an NBA player. The dysfunction is an interesting story but there's a pretty good chance it ends up a fully inconsequential footnote on his career

He's legit the quietist tripdub threat for the past two years. The Sixers let the PG rebound style helps, but he consistently pulls weird weird statlines in limited minutes.

As opposed to him being ostracized by everyone else? The media around Fultz is basically in overdrive right now. Is that really better for the dude than getting out of the spotlight for a bit?

That would mean not traveling with the team at all. I don't think that's a very good idea, and its not like it would stop the columns and news items at all.

Donovan looked pretty great in that Jazz win but being unable to watch Kawhi Leonard this year or ever again because he's done for sure really really sucks. Rest in Peace to the former guaranteed successor to LeBron James as the best player in the NBA

This gives the false impression Mario was anything but excellent tonight. That was the only 3 he missed. 24pts, 6 rebounds, 4 steals 3 blocks. 8/14 3/4 5/6 and only 1 turnover. No assist but who passes to these chumps anyway

Since Aaron Gordon has been out, Hezonja has basically become a pure wing version of Gordon. It's awesome. He was always great but he needed to have the ball all the time to show it, which seems to be the case with a ton of fringe rotation guys
