We legit have a center rotation that can adapt to any team we play against.

You guys still miss Harden?


At least Harden would have played in this game. Where is Kyrie?


At home sitting on his ass. Believe me, I do not like Kyrie at all.

But it looks like Harden's hamstring issue was indeed real since he's out til after ASB. Good luck to Philly, but I like what we have here regardless of Kyrie.


And it's not just this season. Imagine extending a 5 year contract to a moody, out of shape Harden with a bad hamstring and trying to keep him happy and engaged the whole time.

I think this is a trade for the future

Yep. The heavy hitters are coming. KD and Ben are going to be a problem

Mills is supposed to be a bench player anyway.


Mills will be more effective in his correct role.

Kyrie/Seth/Simmons/KD/Dre. Pray Harris can come back so that guys like Carter and Johnson never play again

This.

Patty is doing far more than he needs to do due to the state of our team. He’s a catch & shoot and screen & shoot guy, who can put the ball down and get layups on occasion. He’s been forced to do a lot more dribbling and PG stuff than he’s actually good for.

Curry is a proper combo guard who can actually handle the ball against quality NBA defenders and shoot off the ball.

Kyrie, KD, Curry, and Ben is going to be a lethal 4-man lineup.

I think we not only extended our championship window and restocked our war chest, but also ripped the 76ers off.

I fully expect the Sixers to implode once Harden and Embiid eventually butt heads.

Yeah, I appreciate what Clax brings to the table in so far as a big that can play defense on any position 1-5, but he just doesn't have presence on the inside. That and simply can't stay healthy.

6 rebs
6 assts
5 stls
3 blks
70% FG
100% 3pt FG
100% FT%

Yep. And we can plug in multiple options at C depending on the opponent.

We went from a Big 3 to a Fantastic 4 with depth across the board. If we can convince Dragic to come here that would be disgusting

Nash called a timeout before the lead dwindled?

The presence in the paint with LMA or Drummond really makes a huge difference . So many intangibles that were not there the other night in Miami.

Just have to take care of the ball now and be careful with our shot selection.
