You missed the point, from a talent perspective you should be down by double digits, not up by the amount.
You’re confusing reputation with current performance
This Bucks team isn’t good at all and I can see the Nets getting another lottery pick (we own theirs 1-4 protected) unless changes are made
The Hawks, Raptors, Bulls and Hornets are not better than them. We can debate ceilings but they'll make the playoffs.

I think he’s just adjusting to a more offensive role now that daniels is in and Murray is out.

This is where the Hawks miss Hunter and Bogan. Krejci ain't ready for these kind of minutes.

4 minutes of watching the Thunder is enough for me. I just can't watch the jousting free throw merchant

Cason Wallace has Trae in a straightjacket

Re: Sunday 10/27 NBA Game Thread
Okay, so this is what's scary about the Thunder. Trae totally **** because Cason Wallace can guard him straight up. But if he calls for a switch, the guy switching might be SGA, Dort or Caruso. How is that any better? Cason has ripped him twice in like the last five possessions.

Re: Sunday 10/27 NBA Game Thread
Thunder are just an embarrassment of riches. And there are some teams who can't even go to the bench. Make it make sense. They had to give away Mann and Micic.

I think Jalen might be a tad bit overrated. I think Hawks see him as a second option but I don’t think he is. I think it’s the Collins situation all over again.

Man, the Hawks are stuck in playin hell, lol. With the current roster I don’t see that changing anytime soon. They baldly need a true superstar.

Thunder are so hard to dribble against.

They might literally have five guys who are capable of making all-NBA defense in Caruso, Dort, J-Dub, SGA and Cason. The fact that I'm not including Chet's switchability and rim protection is hilarious/scary.

Re: Sunday 10/27 NBA Game Thread
As bad as the Nuggets look, I can safely conclude they're still better than the Bucks. That was an awful showing.

Chet should get more hype, this dude is ridiculously good. SGA/Chet is a modern day Kobe/Gasol

OKC point of attack defense:
Shai, Caruso, and Wallace combining for 9 steals and 5 blocks.

You might as well put a cone in place of Trae on defense and you wouldn’t tell the difference.
