Older declining teams like GSW, Lakers, Clips, Suns better watch out.

If I was getting locked up by him, I'd probably hate him too.


I'd quit the sport after getting chased by Mcdaniels and NAW for 100+ minutes.

Booker is really trying to bring back those conversations about being a big scorer on a bad team isn't he?
Ooh can we bring back the Booker v Lavine comp threads?
I swear I am not trying to inflate Lavine's value. Not. At. All.

To be fair, that was pretty clearly Jaden McDaniels who initiated that interaction. :lol:

Dude snatched the ball out of Devin Booker's hands, after the foul call.

Im not wrong though

Memphis definitely will. The jury is still out on Houston. Can Green and Sengun co-exist for 82 games? That remains to be seen.

At least Booker/KD get to rest up for the Olympics.

Dubs got lucky this year. Houston just needed to get their head out of their ass a week earlier and they were in the 10 spot.

Can Memphis be healthy for 82 games? That remains to be seen.

Because he can credibly guard 1-3, Jaden McDaniels takes a ton of pressure off Rudy. He does the dirty work and Rudy is there to clean up the leftovers. That wasn't the case in Utah where teams were blowing by Mitchell.

Τurns out basketball is more complicated than just having 3 offensive players.

I have no idea what to think of Memphis. Even with Morant, they just looked so off this year. I think losing Tyus Jones hurt. Losing Tillman will be a loss. In theory, they still have their main pieces so they should be able to rediscover the magic from a couple years ago, but they seem like much more of a question mark now.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

Go arbitrary assortment of athletes! Beat the other arbitrary assortment of athletes or my mood will suffer!

I think so. Odd bad year for Memphis.
