It's so strange seeing a Knicks box score showing lots of balanced minutes stretched across eleven players.

Salutations my sagacious Fam :D

Norman Powell = Top 3 Player in the East, 'nuff said

The Mighty Nuggets begin their run for a 2nd championship tomorrow :cowboy:

Jalen Johnson = Best Player in the East, and you know it's true 8-)!

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

With each game he plays, I still can't believe that Quickley contract. It's just an abomination.

^2 FGA now


Now he has at least one turnover and one personal foul, 5 FGA with 0s across everything else.
