NBA Awards "The Slammies" + The Blazers Future | Slam N Jam

A free bonus stat, Andrew, because it's one I found this week that I thought was funny. We talked about how, you know, games that were decided by three points or less. OKC's only had five of those games this entire season. So I went back and I expanded it to five points. Just a game that ended within five points. Yeah, they've had six of those games. So you have one more game.

It's crazy how dominant they've been at the end of some of these games where some of these games have been close, you know, five minutes left. And then by the end of the game, you know, it's a 10 point game. Yeah, I went back and looked.

When Jason Kidd was asked to address Mavs fans who feel hopeless post-Luka trade, Kidd said, quote, this is a business. It happens, right? Trades happen. This won't be the last trade. Someone compared it to Babe Ruth, which is kind of cool. Every single opportunity post-trade, anyone who has spoken for the Mavs organization has somehow been able to conjure up the most out-of-touch response.

It's kind of incredible. You know, Mavs fans are just looking for, like, a glimmer of competence or maybe some genuine empathy to make them feel that someone in this organization cares about the fans. And instead, they've gotten things like Jason Kidd referencing the comparison of a 100-year curse in a positive way. Oh, it's kind of cool. It's kind of cool.

It feels like everyone in the Mavs organization still hasn't realized the gravity of that trade. And even when they do for a brief moment, the response is that's kind of cool. This trade is the defining moment of this season. And the Mavs obliviousness has been the defining feature of that organization post trade. So congrats to Jake Kidd winning my quote of the year award.

Two things. One, I thought it was really funny. Zach Lowe comes back, you know, he's doing his podcast. One of the first things he brings up was about, it should be a quote like, you know, 28 other teams or whatever would try for our roster.

Yeah. I know. I just thought it was so funny that Zach's been gone for like a year and that's been the quote. It's just, he's just been waiting to talk about. Yeah. And then the other thing, John Hollinger had a good article on the athletic this week, kind of making the case that they, they have to consider a Devin Booker trade. Yeah.
