In the summer, and when most ppl think/talk about basketball it's from a clipboard 2k mindset. Ppl see RJ and Jakob in the starting lineup next to Bi n Barnes and thought we would a crappy offensive team because hey the 2k sliders are down on our shooting. But in the summer no1 ever thinks about teams switching and putting themselves in bad positions,
- who caress about spacing when we are out in transition
- who cares about spacing when we have great passers and players with great hands
-who cares about spacing when we got 6'9 wings and 6'7 SG who all cut and attract doubles or attention due to having a size advantage
-No1 thought, hey maybe they might just improve at shooting, but hey all these guys were finished products during the summer time because they're in yr 5-6...

Let's go good guyz

The East is wide open this year. Detroit is leading the East and they got a core of Cade, Harris, Duren and Ausar.

East has very little chance of beating the best teams in the West. But getting to the finals is an obtainable goal for a few teams in the East this year.

I liked the last half of 3rd quarter: good defense, quick offense with good passing, and scoring by Dick in the first 5-8 seconds of possessions.
"But the thing is, maybe I do want to wake up one morning and say, `Baby, let's go to the Bahamas. Today.' That costs money. So what if I want to do that?

Saw a Cavs fan YouTube. They were down on Mobley for more than just this game.

A team needs both a goto scorer and a big man who can defend and finish. We need both just as much.


I wouldn't say that BI is a particularly good go-to scorer, but he is a scorer, and his presence has helped Scottie so far this season.

If Scottie can keep this level up all season, it's going to be very hard to argue that Mobley is a better player. They're both elite defenders, but Scottie gives you so much more on offense.

8-5 with only 4 games being at home.

We have a legit chance here to be like 13-7 a quarter of the way into the season.

Wild stuff.

ALSO - we have a legit chance at hosting an nba cup knockout game. That’ll be a ton of fun.

8-5 is already on pace for 50 wins.

This is great. We are positioning ourselves well for another big trade in a year or so maybe less. We grab another key winning player in draft and we're gonna be contenders very soon.

Keep raising our players value, winning helps with that. Even if we don't pick high I think you can still pick up difference makers.

The 3rd random nobody replying and trying to fit into the discussion with 2 legends is the Leafs trying to fit in with the superior Toronto teams in the Raptors and Blue Jays

Can someone explain the no timeout tech rule? Why would the refs allow the pacers to actually take the timeout knowing they didn't have any left? Why not give the tech for calling the timeout and then continue playing without the timeout actually taken?

1/2 game out of 2nd and I don't believe in the Pistons being 1st. They will get reeled in.

The Pistons team is good imo. I remember I went last season to a game against them, and I was impressed and surprised how good they were. They also were a lit of trouble for the Knicks last playoffs.

Steady now. We're bound to go on a losing streak this year. BI hasn't gone down yet.

I like our team, but I don't think our depth is as good as I had hoped for pre-season.

That said, the East really does suck, so we have a chance to look better than we are on paper.....which is exactly why I hammered the Vegas over.

Perk had us finishing 5th in the East before the season.

Let's do him proud!


Yeah, that was weird before the season. If there was someone that actually had the raptors up there in the east, they got attacked viciously. Perk with Bill Simmons, Tim Botems with his collegues from the Hoop Collective, just to name two.
