Missi and Clingan looking like active young bigs. Love to see it.

Mind boggling how a dude nurks size is completely incapable of scoring at the rim

Lakers would be down 25+ right now with coach Ham.

Suns are so bad, if not for hot shooting at the start they would be -20 right now...

I can't remember the last time KD beat LeBron. LeBron must be on some 8 game winning streak against him.

The Lakers players will feed off the buzz and excitement of the Dodgers remarkable World Series win and go on and win

Suns just don’t have a center that can protect the paint or space the floor.

Jazz look like they're dead serious about this next draft. They're not fussing around like last year or the year before.

It’s going to be interesting to see how JJ will manage DLo here. It’s clear Suns are hunting him and he’s struggling, this is a Vincent game.

As much as i like Murray as a player and think he is very talented. I have to agree with you here and i wouldn't give Daniels for Murray straight up at this point. I just know what the Hawks have needed for a minute now to pair with Trae the best player type to put around him. Murray 100% needs to be a PG not a SG to make him be super successful as when he goes against bigger SG's they can get to him. But as a bigger PG himself he eats other PG's alive with length.

Daniels, Risa, and Jalen are the perfect type of players you put around Trae and even Hunter is starting to look really good now that he doesn't have to handle the #1 or 2 offensive threat every single night. Hunter vs #1 threat = avg to below avg at times. Hunter vs the #3 threat and hunter can usually handle them pretty well on defense.

The last thing the Hawks need to finish this is a true star quality 5. Capela god love him needs to be replaced and upgraded with a true defensive 7 ft guy that can also provide some solid offense. If you give the Hawks that and let them gain experience together i think they are a very good team in a year or 2 time.

That would be Double O. He plays much taller than his height suggests. Excellent defensive awareness

I'm serious when I say that the Hawks have to legitimate All NBA defensive caliber players.

Bogi is the big question as the secondary shot creator

But I'm all in on them they are set for a successful year

Yeah. This draft looks like it has some dudes (not just Flagg). Also I think they found out last year that their upside is just nowhere near high enough to push for the play-in this year. Use this year to develop the future core.

Plumlee was awesome and a +17 in the 1st half. Why hasn't he been playing more?

I have never seen this level of apathy from Jazz players before.

Suns have 0 defense and can’t guard AD
