Boston hadn't beaten a team above .500 since Toronto 15 games ago. They've been feasting on mostly bottom feeders over their streak up until Phoenix welp.


I’m not gonna lie. That makes me smile. :)

Knox learning how to produce in NY.

Team still can't consistently put it together for victories, tho.

NOTE: If Knicks can get a top-5 pick, develop Knox and get back a healthy Porzingis next summer, they would indeed be an attractive free agent destination.

Why is Utah struggling this year?
Donovan Mitchell peaked already?

Last year you had 4 or 5 teams in the west openly tanking. Now there are zero. Easy wins are hard to come by for average teams. That's my theory anyway.

Say what happen to the folks that were saying Atkinson and Snyder were the reason Bud was such a successful coach? How's that theory looking this year?

What the hell you talking about mac?

I know this comment is undoubtedly aimed at me and my reticence to anoint Mike Bud a top-5 coach.

But...this is a reach in so many ways.


NOTE:
Jazz are 15-17 after 32 games this year.
Jazz were 14-18 through 32 games last year.

I'm just funning with ya.


Although Bucks are 21-9 after 30 games.

Did I misrepresent your position that Snyder and Atkinson were the key components of Hawk's success under Bud and once they left the Hawks went south?

I mean. I've been consistent in that I think Budenholzer is a good coach.


I do believe Atkinson, Snyder and Ben Sullivan have done the heavy lifting on player development. When Bud was Head Coach (and also Pres of BBall Ops) he delegated a number of those player development duties to assistants.

Seeing Lonzo's progression (and to a lesser extent D Fox) from Year 1 to Year 2 really makes me optimistic for what we will see outta Trae next season.
