Finally saw a good team (even without Jokic) and lost, not shocked. If Steph isn’t going supernova they’re cooked and he’s only been doing it since Jimmy got there because he felt extra motivated and wanted to get them off to a great start, he’s going to wear himself down.

They have the Bucks tonight on the 2nd night of a back to back and the Bucks coming off a loss Sunday to the Thunder, let’s hope the Bucks don’t sit anyone and they should be able to get it done


They started off the year super hot. Would be cool if they lost a few and then Butler and Dray started to hate each other. Get that pick back where it belongs.

Bam and Ware and the rest of the team need's a legit stretch 4 with size and playmaking guards. Jovic has to be considered a long term piece here for these bigs but we also need to supplement the core with a starting 4 like Markkannen. He’s historically one of the best 3 point shooting bigs in the NBA. Feel like he could have a Porzingis type impact here


We’ll need to snag Trae if we’re getting Lauri considering 85% of his offense is created by others off assists and we have the worst perimeter playmakers in the league.

The guard has to come from the draft. Need to lock in a cost controlled star.

Just need to find a star regardless of position. You don't build around role players and non stars. Find a player to build around

Would take such an extreme fall off considering we’re 5 games ahead but the Raptors have the easiest remaining schedule in the league :o

There will be some available but we’re being way too picky as fans lol, they’re either too old, aren’t good defenders (like 90% of the roster already so who cares), etc.

If Miami doesn't even get the play in, it will be nail in the coffin for a coaches...We have good players and I think coaches Last this season and half the he next If the team does this badly... Even if they have a success in the past

I also think rozier will catch a lot of the blame.Because he's so bad in the heat... terry, don't despair, you're an okay player...Even though you think you are Michael Jordan, It is your delusion, But you are not a g-League player either ...you belong in the NBA

I wish they did. That's more odds in our favour. But 0 % chance of it happening. We are 6 Losses behind raptors. There are 14 games to go. 8 out our remaining 14 games are with teams under 500. We would pretty much need to loose out for this to happen. I don't see it. At worst we'll go 4 - 10 but more likely 6 -8

Yep, unfortunately they probably finish 10 or 11 in the draft and will likely have to lose a playin game (so still about a 20% chance to not land in the lottery at all), because of soft schedule; they'd really need to sit Herro/Bam for maximum tank and lose like 11 or 12 games to finish higher

We’ll see we’ve gotten cooked recently by some bottom feeders too regardless of building 17 point leads, team is mentally done with the season
