Ryen RussilloThe heliocentric style of offense led by Luka Doncic is difficult to win with in the playoffs
The history of the heliocentric offenses are really bad in the playoffs. You basically had one NBA finals guy for a top 20 usage rate in the NBA history... It sucks watching somebody else have the ball all the time... whenever they shut off your drive in the playoffs, now I have to shoot.

PFT CommenterThe Dunk Contest is unfixable because we have already seen every possible dunk
There's really no way to fix the Dunk Contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find... maybe it's just that we've seen every cool Dunk and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.
HankMac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he is in the G-League
Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.
PFT CommenterA G-League player who wins the NBA Dunk Contest should receive a two-week NBA contract
If you win the Dunk contest and you're on a G League team, you should get like a two week contract.

View profileRyen RussilloThe Milwaukee Bucks should not play Giannis Antetokounmpo for the rest of the season
I don't even think Milwaukee would want Giannis to come back and play... They should want to do whatever they can with this pick 'cause they don't have many of 'em. And Giannis probably shouldn't even wanna play and risk health and risk this contract extension that he can get before next fall. So the tanking is gonna get egregious.
Ryen RussilloThe Clippers made a smart pivot trading James Harden for Darius Garland
I like what the Clippers did... I don't think Darius Garland is this bad. He's a two-time all star. He's 26 years old... when he was right, he was terrific. And Harden... fourth trade request in six years. So the Clippers very quickly on the fly... you'll look at the Garland thing and go, man, they were able to land a player like that for Harden.
Ryen RussilloThe Knicks' usage of Karl-Anthony Towns is becoming a real issue
The Knicks, as much fun as they are... the imperfections with them. The cat [KAT] stuff here... He's now sixth in minutes in the fourth quarter for the Knicks... since January 1st. So you're seeing his minutes decline... Mitchell Robinson's so good... I wonder if [Thibodeau] like bails on Kat in specific matchups? 'Cause he's already starting to do it in the regular season.
