All it took was shutting up about his role and just playing to win And playing with LeBron, AD and headband Caruso, of course
KCP has truly stepped it up, as well.... I was wrong about Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and I’m sorry Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the subject of many a joke over the last couple years. He’s serving up some crow now.

A lot of those late bloomers have had to hit rock bottom like Dwight, as well. I give him cred for keeping his body/physique up to par throughout his career..without that, none of this is possible.
Not an easy spot for Pelinka. Better than having an underachieving team and entering trade negotiations from that standpoint. But still not an easy spot given that the team is performing so well. If he decides to stand pat and they fall short, everybody's gonna look at him and ask why he didn't improve the team. If he does make an impactful move and it doesn't work out, everybody's gonna question whether or not he should've disrupted chemistry. Tough
Ja Morant is special. Glad we didn't get the 2nd pick and trade him, it would be hard to watch even with AD.
Shame he's gonna use so much of his juice in Memphis. When the Lakers get their 1st chance to steal him away, he may not even be the same guy.
Whoa. Forgot all about the Celtics owning Memphis' 1st round pick this season. And Memphis currently has the 8th seed. Damn, OK..so either the Spurs miss the playoffs and enter the lottery, or the Grizzlies miss the playoffs and toss their lottery pick to the Celtics. That's a tough one. Fucked up fork in the road.
1st loss on the season VS an under .500 team Markelle Fultz with a fuckin triple double..and Caruso with a head injury
