I asked Kristaps Porzingis what he thinks of his career after the Knicks trade.
“A bit of up and down. It is for any young player. Went to Dallas and it didn’t work out the way I envisioned. That was a bit of a tough moment for me. NY set the standard so high.”

If I had to pick two front runners for the Jerry West Clutch Player of the Year:
DeMar DeRozan
Luka Doncic
This is based on some custom weights from my clutch player tracker (discount drawn fouls and rebounds to 0.5, assists at 0.25 weight).

Almost a very big night for the East, but Cavs lose a late lead at Memphis. Hawks win in Dallas, Miami by 26 at New Orleans. Sixers have quietly won 16 of 20. Heat have won 9 of 13 to move into 6th.

Jason Kidd’s postgame news conference was short and not so sweet. Criticized the defensive effort.
“We gave up 130. Team shot 57%. It’s a shootaround. In this league you do that, doesn’t matter if you have Luka or LeBron or Kareem, you lose.” – 10:23 PM

Mavericks’ defense hasn’t changed much in the early going, sadly. Hawks have gone up 15-8 and all five ATL starters have scored. Atlanta already with eight fast-break points (Mavs 0). – 7:54 PM

Rough start for the reinforced Mavs, 15-8 Atlanta. Happens more often than not when teams try to work players who have been out with injury back into the rotation.
Better in the long run, of course, but rough around the edges to start. – 7:54 PM

Coach Pop says he’s got some nasty, and Markieff Morris, Steven Adams and Luka Doncic can all confirm.
