I don’t understand how you guys can’t separate the players from the team/state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Tatum brown and coach udoka and they’re style of play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only team I can’t do that for is the Njn I hate everything about that franchise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Because that’s the point of rivalries with teams/cities.

As a NY’er I’m never rooting for a team from Boston

Wiggins, Butler, Lavine before that. Do successes of ex-Minnesota players show Thibs is highly overrated as a coach? Just asking

You know it was Thibs who chose Burks over Reggie. Knicks prioritizing iso-heroball over 3-D like Woody is still coach.

Just my opinion, but Reggie Bullock is a Mav right now because Tom refused to trust IQ as a primary ball handler-shot creator.

Sure but what would a modern NBA team be without multiple rim-protecting centers who can’t shoot?

To recap:

• Didn’t trust IQ: signed Burks over Bullock
• Didn’t trust Sims: re-signed Noel to longterm deal
• Lotto
• Limited cap flex
• Limited player development

It’s almost like there’s a 20+ year pattern here or something.

We're totally getting Mo Bamba this summer. And letting Mitch go. And there's a certain irony about that which I wish sham was around for because he knows exactly what I'm talking about.

It was widely reported that Tom wanted to bring Bullock back. He doesn't get that evil.

Fine ruin my Escape goat fantasies. Happy to see Reggie thrive even if it means pulling my hair out watching MJ Burks run point.
