Absolutely. I am now a low key Jazz fan :o

Pretty much every struggling team is secretly running Jazz players through the ESPN trade machine :lol:

I didn’t see the first one.

The second was barely anything. Cmon.

And yet... fouls were called.

Same problem we had with Toronto. Just not matching Bostons physicality. Getting dominated on the boards against a smaller team who wants it more.

If that’s the metric we’re using to judge if fouls actually occurred… not sure I 100% trust it

I say this not in a complaining way: The Celtics are the best team at pushing the limits of what is a foul and being physical without a parade of fouls. Annoying af but it's definitely a legit skill.

It's a shame KPJ is forced to play PG because of the rockets roster construction. He could be a very good off guard but doesn't get that opportunity here. Not a PG though.

Other than Jokic and Embiid...What other center are you taking over Jarrett Allen?

Discontinued dribble watch: they got Malik Monk!

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

Fair. Truthfully I wasn't sure where PS picked up the first two, only the last one and commentators said something about his doing it previously.

Anyway, enjoy the game!

According to that other thread. Jonas Valanciunas.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the Hawks defense has been dominant in the third quarter.

20 minute cap for John Wall when he's been out 1.5 years purely due to tanking is laughable.
