Keep forgetting the big balls dance is banned. What a shame.

When 2021 is all said and done, there's a decent chance we are sitting ahead of the east without Lopez and Ddv playing more than a game. Got to feel good about that.

Nets could point to kyrie coming back, though

They're d-bags. It's rational.

I can't hate Tyler Herro. That kid went to Hillside to hoop. Nothing but respect for that dude (or at least his pops).

Very similar builds, too, and there's even a slight facial resemblance.

Same number, too.

Yeah, man. Good call on this one. PP seemed maybe a little better on the offensive end, though. Not sure. I was too young to know what I was watching.

Which is humorous considering the injuries/covid stuff that hit the Bucks the first month and a half.

Just curious, does anyone else think Luka *isn't* the second coming of Christ as so many hoops pod guys do? He's certainly a really good player with great skill, but he reminds me of the European version of Harden. Plays himself into shape, super-high usage rate and will eventually fade by the playoffs. Similar style of play, too. High pick-and-roll and either score or pass. Very easy to defend in a series. The Dallas roster isn't anything special, to be sure (obviously coaching being low-hanging fruit).

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I've always thought and still think Jokic is more of a generational/transformational player and would take him over Luka in a "Dad Bod Euro Star" draft. That and he's more efficient and can affect a game without having the ball all the time as Luka does.

Was he on the Bobcats and they had literally no one else? That could be very wrong...

Say what you want about Brevin, but he's more clutch than Embiid.

Just found out about Boogie. No one is talking about it or did I miss the convo? I plan to be irrationally excited about the potential for awhile.

ETA: Found it.

Seems like the Warriors going back to smart and versatile players next to Steph is the key to them being good again. Poole has been hot and cold but the secondary guard playmaking from him has been huge. Prime Draymond returning also a decent needle mover for them.

There's a lot of people on the general board saying Butler and Lowry are playoff warriors. It's amazing how one magically playoff run can change the guys reputation despite years of choking.

Raps thought they wouldn't suck like that with VanVleet, Siakam and Barnes, but they do, because they chose the slow melt when Kawhi left. I hope when the Bucks time comes (and it comes for everybody) they choose to completely blow it up instead, OKC style.

Heat, Craptors, and Celtics are the only teams I hate. I haven't been a Bucks fan long enough to hate the Bulls. We have basically just been **** on them since I became a fan.

Doncic has been anything but easy to defend in the playoffs. That's what separates him from Harden.

Feel like his ballhogging-ness is a product of not having a good roster around him. He's forced to have to do that. If he got a legit #2 option, I think he would be smart enough to make the most of it.

Who'd have thought that the key to a good basketball team was a bunch of smart, skilled players?

We pounced to early on GP2

Davis, WB and Lebron combined for 82 points on 63% shooting today and they still only just beat the 4-16 Pistons at home by four points.
