The Steph Curry effect is ridiculous.

Man those crooked Bulls/Heat need to be avoided, we need a top 2 spot in the east. The raps can't afford to face them in the first round, its calling for another 1st round exit... I know the bulls/heat will try to match up against us if they can.

Lakers beat Boston lol. Dallas is a good team; Dirk and company can definitely win against GSW without Curry (plus Barnes, Ezeli). When a big player is injured, the team usually steps up and sneaks a win before they go back to reality. Little surprised how flat they came out.

Damn, Monta makes it on the second try.

Wtf at that play by the Bulls. Gasol throws it up and Butler with the perfect touch.

McCollum the most improved player so far? Scored 29, Portland wins three in a row with Lillard out. Helped the Thank too.

Philly could win another one to close out the night.

We're 5-0 against teams that have beaten the Warriors lol.

damn we needed Sac to beat Philly; asking too much to win against the worst team in the league.

Has anybody heard from Masai lately?

Sixers vs Lakers today. Clash of the Titans. Can't wait for that epic game.

One of these teams will end his winning streak (of one)

ash_k · Post #1413 » by **ash_k** » Sat Jan 2, 2016 3:30 am

I know Masai noticed that Whiteside had a 25pts and 19 rebounds performance tonight while Portis with a double-double 16pts/10rebs tonight

hindsight is 20/20 and most people didn't expect Portis to be at this level so soon, but it would have been nice to grab him knowing the team was light at the 4 position during the off season.

I guess we have Patterson though :dontknow:

Talk about Portis all you like, but Wright is an nba pg and a perfectly good pick. We've been blessed with excellent Lowry health thus far and haven't needed him at all, but there will be a day when he gets his opportunity and he'll show why we took him.

I think Patterson regression this season makes the choice not to take a PF noticeable but that is hindsight...

yeah hindsight is 20/20 but our front office literally had no interest in him. They didn't even interview him at the combines or anything lol

Schuhmann breaks down the leagues schedule during January. The Knicks facing 12 teams over 0.500 should help the Thank. He didn't add the UK game as home or away for either Tor or Orl. Raps can go on a pretty good run if they play closer to their potential.
