Biyombo is awful

Changing of the centers.

So, we somehow managed to dodge a big bullet by letting Biyambo go. I was definitely on the side of thinking that was a very dumb move. But, I also never expected him to be gift wrapped 17 mil a year.

Well, no Bledsoe for the Hornets.

There was no way we would've got him anyway, doubt either party would be interested.

wish we could pry Delly away from Bucks now that they have glut of PGs.

I think he’s like a Aussie mascot there where there’s many of Aussie Bucks fans that like him just for that reason. It carried on from the drafting of Bogut I believe.

I wonder what it would take to pluck Brogdon from them. Prolly wouldn’t be worth the bait tho and it’s not like they’re really desperate for talent at any particular position.

Brogdon, Teletovic, Vaughn
for
MKG, Frank

Kyrie Irving quickly showing he can run an offense for a winning team, he's a fantastic PG

I think I want to give a bulk of the credit to Brad Stevens but Kyrie is definitely carrying that team to early dominance.

East is more competitive this season.

76ers, magic, pistons, Knicks all seem to,be better. Cleveland will figure it out and bledsoe will help the bucks.

Charlotte has the 2nd toughest strength of schedule(http://www.espn.com/nba/stats/rpi/_/sort/SOS) thus far and it's not getting any easier for the rest of the month. If we somehow manage to hover around .500 for the rest of the month, then I'd say a top 4 seed is likely.

Yeah, we have a terrible opening schedule. December is tough too. We need Batum and MKG back pronto.

early look at EC all-stars

G: Kyrie
G: Wall
F: Giannis
F: Lebron
F/C: Porzingis

G: Kemba
G: Beal
F: Simmons
F: Harris
F/C: Horford

G/F/C: Derozan
G/F/C: Oladipo

Bubble: Middleton, Embiid, Drummond, Vucevic, Whiteside, Dragic, Fournier, Porter, Gordon

thoughts? feels wrong not to have anyone from Magic on early all-star roster when they have 3 guys with a claim.

what would you guys do differently?

Otto Porter is a freaking stud this year. I wouldn't have a problem with him making the roster over Wall.
