Hawks are trying to get acclimated with newcomers, but they'll have to do it without trae, due to unfriendly fire.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

I wish the second game of the night was Blazers/Jazz instead of Lakers/Wolves.

We now have McClung. Dude jumps over cars.

A new era has begun.

Word around the street y'all are tanking this year.

I don't think we planned on it. We could be pretty good, with just Haliburton out.

Right now we got no chance with so many guys out. Some are out for a month.
Seems like the perfect opportunity to get a top 5 pick in a loaded draft. Come back next season with a healthy Hali and a really good young rookie.

Luka Garza might be able to stay on the court if he didn't wear these shoes.

Close, this is his 9th possible season, only 7th because he missed two years.

I thought he was drafted a year a later but still longer than what it feels like.

It's looking that way. The way things are going. It will just happen, no tanking involved.

Davis has seen enough of how bad this team is and now has an ankle injury.

The Luka curse transferred weight from himself to Anthony Davis and Davis' ankle just went out from the extra weight

Luckily for Toronto, the Blue Jays are good. The Raptors are the worst team in the East by a WIDE margin.

A mish mashed roster that doesn't work. Poor shooting. No defense.

The fall from grace following the 2020 season has been jarring.

The Magic might need to make a coaching change?

Wow that went from a charge on the Pacers.

After a challenge.

To a foul on Dallas and a "and one" goaltend for the Pacers.
