I just did my first tankathon spin of the entire season, and OKC got the third pick!


The Paul George trade is the gift that keeps on giving for the Clippers. I doubt the league would let that happen, though. I remember on last lottery night I called the Sixers jumping into the top 4 before it happened because if they didn't jump into the top 4 the pick would have went to OKC.

Fox looks small.

To be fair, you cannot really blame Mavs fans for being disillusioned after what has transpired in the last 12 months.


1000%.


I get it, but Lakers got blown out by OKC I always there till the end :)

Nice!

Steph probably has to get a 50 point plus bag for the Dubs to win tbh. Not getting any reliable offence from anyone else


If the Spurs would have hold that 7+ point lead or so, they would have been fine. But now, I think the Warriors would take this game again.

There’s just too many subpar players on this Spurs roster to take them too seriously yet. Wemby, Harper, Castle, Fox, and Kornet is a quality bench guy. The rest are meh, including some guys that think they are way better than they actually are — looking at you, DV.

I had higher hopes for Sochan, but it’s not looking good. HB is starting to age out. Keldon’s a fun bowling ball type, but if you can’t shoot or pass or play tough D, you aren’t helping much. You gotta shoot better than 36-37% from three to be a shooting specialist, Sham Penny.
