I mean they aren't necessarily wrong, but they can only be right about it if there's also an admission that we won games last year we shouldn't have. Or they think we should have gone 82-0. It's definitely become a cliche around here quickly.

NBA has a really nice product with the exception of the referees.

Well they lost two overtime games to CLE that kept the 22-23 club from starting 20-2.

But in fairness 7 of their 25 losses were in overtime (4-7 overall in OT last year) which is kind of crazy when you think about it.

This was the definition of a wild ending. Wow. Holiday missing a left-handed dunk. White tripping over Brown as they were scrambling to get back on defense. Konchar almost falling down before kicking it out to Aldama for a wide open 3, and the final buzzer sounding as KP blocks a jumper.

KP is soooo good.

Not the best-looking win, but winning when 4 of your starters had very mediocre games, I'll take that.

Let’s discuss Rob WIlliams III first.
Then Steisma
Then Bill ;)

Honestly interested in seeing how KP’s block rate and fg% against rate compare to Rob’s though!


I feel like Rob's not going to have a good year.


:sigh: RWIII last two years in BOS vs KP this year in BOS

if I ask enough, Zoya and/or ghostfacemedian will provide!

But we DID have Smart, who if nothing else, never lacked from the effort side which is what the Cs seemed to be missing.



Hahahha. Still butt hurt about Smart huh? Move on already!
