What's the deal with FVV shooting like 37% from the field? I wish we can go back to seeing him as that championship spark plug off the bench that was on a 9m a year contract but that will never happen with the amount he's being paid now

Dude is making Jrue and White look slow on defence. Unreal.

How's his defense though? What's his D-EPM? Does he play make? Call me when those metrics tell me he's a star.

Nuggets have that same swagger we had in our championship follow-up season. Barring injury, I can't see anyone beating them.

Caron Wallace is probably going to move Josh Giddey out of a starting role sometimes this season - perhaps will make Giddey more attainable.

Good to see a 2 day break again, but I can't help but wonder if the schedule makers could have spaced out the 2 b2b's we've already played given there existed immediate slack in the upcoming weeks.

Milwaukee inherited our schemes from the last 2 years and it broke their team

Pacers offence is insane, they run up and down like its a track field.

They're a really good match up for us though, they have no wings our size.

Anyways, does anyone watch Wemby and wish we had tanked to at least have a real shot. Imagine how hype it would have been.


Mods won't allow it to open until 20 games are played. Even if the Raps go 20-0, I would still want the Raps to tank.

What? Why?
