Grimes news and notes
Quentin Grimes has earned more playing time even with several veterans returning to action recently, Steve Popper of Newsday writes. Grimes doesn’t put up big stats but Thibodeau has played Grimes a minimum of 17 minutes in all but one game this month. “Grimes has been playing great basketball,” Thibodeau said of the first-round rookie guard. “But it’s just step by step. You earn your minutes here. What you do in practice. You have to wait for your opportunity and when your opportunity comes, be ready to go.”

Dotson update, Part 2
Devon Dotson, who was waived by the Bulls last week in order to sign Malcolm Hill to a two-way deal, is expected to land with Chicago’s G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls, according to veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein of Substack (via Twitter).

Hope that Dotson and Garrett can back on the NBA roster quickly.

Jo Jo scored 38 and I believe 12 rebounds in sixer’s win last night
-
Devonte had a nice game last night with 26 points and 6 assists. BMac did well also for the Blazers. 17 points with 5 3 pointers.

Who is Devonte with now ? wasn’t it New Orleans ? - -I can’t remember
-
Wow, the Hornets are scoring a bucket load of points tonight and Oubre has made 10 of 15 3’s for 39 points and counting. Still 4 minutes left, but he’s not in the game.

Mercy Kelly- - I’ll be honest here I didn’t think Kelly would do that well - - glad I’m wrong and proud of him
-
Most bench points in Hornets history for Oubre

Had to vote for Cunningham in the east, ran out of us guys.
-
Great to see Wiggs finally becoming an All Star.

Really happy, of course I voted all Jayhawks! You sound like Reds fans who stuffed the ballot box back in the day and elected 8 Reds starters to the ASG. And no it wasn’t the big Red Machine either when you could have almost justified that. It was in 1958.
-
Did the same for the Royals a few years too!
-
Doke got to start yesterday. 22 minutes 10 rebounds and 8 points

@Jethro that blew my mind a little bit. I might be completely wrong about Jojo
-

-
@jayballer67 Joel probably got a tape of Kobes, just like he did with the Dream.

Was wondering with what’s going on in Ukraine if Svi’s family is still there? Svi is now in Toronto and riding the pine. Terrible trade for him. I hope his family is safe!
-
Doke starts tonight for the Utah Jazz. He is in every lineup I posted for Draft Kings. Go get it, big guy!
-
Doke with 14 rebounds and 7 points in a victory.
-
@rockchalkwyo I cleaned up last night. 306 points…not too shabby…

Really great story about Doke!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Interesting that the game started with Doke being outclassed by Mitchell Robinson. That was the guy who left WKY in the summer of 2017 after enrolling early and who visited KU in August before returning to WKY (and later sat out a year to train for the draft; first guy to do that). We had a lengthy discussion about whether he would have to sit out a year at KU due to his WKY summer school classes of something like 2 weeks.
He would have been competing with Doke at KU. I always wondered if that was why he didn’t come or if it was just the eligibility issue. Sounds like he has done well (except for, well, getting stuck on the Knicks).

Doke is back in my lineup for tonight. As well as perennial favorite Mr. Oubre. Jayhawks all the time in Draft Kings…
-
Doke and Wiggins will play each other tonight.
-
Doke with 11 pts and 5 boards in 19 minutes. They clobbered the Warriors. However his ± was the worst on the team. Still great to see him starting and getting to play. So happy to see him getting an opportunity.

This is going to end poorly for Philly. Harden and Embiid’s games don’t mesh well and teams are now figuring out that Harden is a cancer that doesn’t make teams better. Look at the players Harden ran off in Houston to to the point of ruining the Rockets. And now that Harden isn’t the central piece teams are building around, they won’t deal with his crap for long and he’ll end up bouncing around the league the rest of his career. Harden is a ball hog and the change in the rules has taken away what made him a dominant player as evidenced by his drop in FT rate. Without the refs whistle, he’s not an elite player as evidenced by his playoff career.

All I know having Simmons was pointless, they weren’t using him either. no matter at this point Harden has to be better. Can’t be any worse, they been trying to dump Simmons for a while - - w’l see how it goes you just neer know

I think people may- - - I said may be surprised how this just could turn out. - -can’t be in any worse shape their in with Simmons right now - -Simmons and Jo Jo ha their own problems - so nothing new. Jo Jo bitch slap Harden if he get’s out of hand lmao
