The league has caught up to GSW small ball. Lately, I've seen a few games of theirs where they just look small and can't capitalize off of speed and shooting like they used to because modern bigs can cover that and also get the rebound.

I thought he was really good here in his lone all star season before he tore the ACL


Oh he was great and I was devastated when we traded him but he was always a step below Embiid, towns, and Jokic. Idk why I remember this random game against the nuggets, before Jokic blew up and him just dominating KP. Just made me realize that it might be a little unreasonable to expect him to be a top 10 player or even the best player from his draft class.


I remember that game. Breen kept talking about Jokic's "feathery touch"

Celtics are 6-4 in their last 10. Looks like they're in cruise control.

Perfect opportunity for us to step on the gas and overtake them in the standings

Wish I knew at the time that the doughy center that just won the starting job away from nurkic was about to be the best player in the league. Would have made me feel way better about getting demolished by him at the time. :lol:

Rockets wouldn't dare disrupt their immaculate vibes with Butler, he'll probably wind up with the Suns because their owner is desperate to be relevant.

Jalen Johnson 30 and 15. He's probably going to be an all-star this year. I wanted him on draft night. He fell to our pick and we traded down for Quentin Grimes lol

All the players the Knicks 'could have' picked but didn't even with this current FO would probably fill an all-star team.
