Early 2nd quarter, Cade’s only taken 2 shots. If you’re a prop better take the over on almost any number for Cade’s second half. Hate to say it, but he does play for his numbers sometimes.

Dumars really gave up an unprotected pick for this team? My goodness firesale this team quickly as possible. See if Atlanta would be interested in Trey Murphy to get there pick back at this point.

If the Knicks don't make the Finals with this Eastern Conference, then firing Thibs will go down in infamy.

LeVert have no role in Detroit anymore, Jenkins is 10x better than him, while LeVert was on the floor the ball didn't move and he took all the shots he possibly could, once Detroit subbed LeVert and Ivey out for Green and Robinson the defense improved a lot and the ball started moving and the game got easy.

Jenkins need to be given a 3 years contract and LeVert got to go asap.

Yeah, I’ve not been impressed with Caris at all. I mean, it’s cool when you’re a good enough athlete with a good enough handle to get a shot whenever you want it, but just like that goof Cam Thomas, it doesn’t make for pleasing or WINNING basketball. Langdon’s first mistake that I’ve noticed.

I hope the Bulls will lose to the Wizards, it would be funny just like Nets defeating Celtics on the road

Imagine sitting out Zion for load management, in a losing season, against the team that owns your pick. I just can't

Pistons have played 12 men so far tonight v The Bucks. Now that is some seriously impressive depth. Have to be favourites to win The Eastern Conference, esp as Cade is still yet to cook/find his shot so far.

Then just ignore the no.
Jalen turned his shooting around his 3rd year.


I mean, he shot great his third year and then sucked again last year. Now he’s approaching his third year level again.

What I’m saying is, when he was drafted, he looked like a football player playing basketball. Super intense, great defense, maybe a little too crazy, but I never envisioned him as a legit shooter. Now he looks like one. It’s surprising.
Last year, we had injuries. Suggs needs to be set up for 3s and not create them. Look Derrick White without Tatum. He's shooting 35/30/81.

Wiz are blatantly tanking, they lose their pick to The Knicks if it is 8 or above in the lotto.

Yeh I know it's why I predicted them last b4 the season, but they're winning this game I'm worried haha.

As long as they stay last I'll be happy :)
