Lakers have been bad since the beginning of the bubble. At what point do you worry about them ?

Damn Scal and Perk said they'd rather have Brown than Butler, Mitchell, and Booker.

Idk... I love Jaylen Brown and am very high on him but I think Butler and Booker are definitely ahead of him right now. I do think Brown is better than Mitchell though and a better fit for the Celtics than Booker. But Butler is better than Brown in every way, shape, and form.

Unapologetic thoughts - Lakers look bad. Don't care if they have Lebron and Anthony Davis. Somethings off about that team. 76ers are overrated and it's beginning to show on the court.
Jaren Jackson has arguably been the best prospect in the bubble.
Morant has been meh
Rockets and Nuggets underrated
Zion is still fat

IMO Butler is Brown's ceiling. But hopefully, he'll be more consistent than Butler.

Pheonix and OKC are playing out of their minds and are consistently overlooked especially Pheonix.

We need to stuff the rockets into that 6th or 7th seed. And raise OKC to the 4th or 5th slot.

OKC played some weak bball against the Nuggets. You have 3 starters who are the shooters playing with Jokic the whole season out, and you don’t get the W? And it’s not only about that, they just looked bad that game overall.

I agree about the Suns tho.

Lebron looks awful in the bubble.. like the worst I've ever seen him play.

Kuzma is not going to give you much on 6-7 attempts per game.. his D has been solid but being 4-5th in attempts isn't good. Waiters should not be shooting twice as much as him.

Danny Green looks done and KCP is in is usual October form which is trash.

Caruso is decent but can't shoot.

AD is a God one night and can't get a 4 foot shot to land the next night..

We are going to get wrecked in the playoffs by multiple teams if this keeps up..

You probably just catch his games against the Celtics. He’s a Middleton when it comes to the C’s


I think you're right. I had a feeling I just watched him at the right times lol. Thanks for answering!
