Around the League - Curry Out "A few weeks"

[VooDoo7]

Put memphis in miamis division and minny in the bucks division

Then you'd have 17 teams in the East and 13 in the West.

Should move Dallas to Charlotte's division.imo

Oh you guys just talking about divisions....

I was a big Bol Bol fan his rookie year. I feel good about that.

Yeah, we had a 4-game stretch of shooting 47% from 3 in our title season, including the NBA record with 29 3s one of those games.

Looks great when the 3s are going in. We’ll see what’s up if the teams face off in the PS again, hopefully at full strength this time around.

We've had good nights but I don't think saying their shooters/shot making >> ours is a crazy opinion. Particularly if we're talking playoffs.

I don’t think it’s a crazy opinion, but “absolutely makes me sick” is a bit excessive lol. I guess I’m just not super envious of any team in the league right now.

If any, it makes me feel better about losing to them last year when it wasnt a bad fluke. We still almost won without Middleton. Whatever, bring on in the ECF. If that is our toughest foe, I'm cool with it.

Bol Bol is the most interesting player in NBA for me right now. Hope he stay healthy with that build.

And yes, Orlando is must watch right now. Hammond did it again

Hawks seem like they have a pretty good mix going on. Waiting for John Collins to mess it up and get mad for not getting a bigger role.

[MickeyDavis]

Weak slate of 4 games today. Cavs at Lakers is sort of interesting.

Hawks seem like they have a pretty good mix going on. Waiting for John Collins to mess it up and get mad for not getting a bigger role.

The flaw with the Hawks is their best offensive players (Trae, Collins) are horribly on defense and their best defensive players (Oko, Capella) are bad modern offensive players (because they kill floor spacing).

They have maybe one legit two way guy for a playoff rotation (Hunter).

So they can mix and match O and D in the regular season but it doesn’t work as well in the playoffs.

Things can change, but it appears this is a three team race in the East and the NBA champ will come from the East. Bucks, Celtics, Cavs.

Celtics-their defense will improve once they get healthy and get their center back. They have the best guard rotation in the league (Smart, White, Brogdon, Brown) and an MVP candidate (who I still think is overrated).

Cavs-great height and defense underneath and two great guards, plus very deep rotation once Rubio gets back. I disagree with the view that they're a year away. They are legit right now.

Bucks- best player in league by far. Smart team with good perimeter defenders, except for Allen. Key will be how much can you play Lopez against good teams that won't miss wide open twos when Lopez is on the court. Not as good switchable defenders as Boston and probably not Cleveland either. but I'll go with the best player who makes up for all of this.

I am not counting the 76ers out, but imo barring injury this is a two team race of Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Looking forward to CLE destroying LAL by about 25 this afternoon. Later JeBroni.

Forget about Murray?

[tedbrogen]

Yes, although I would argue he’ll get roasted on switches in the playoffs because he’s not strong. Jrue cooks him in the post so I can’t imagine what Tatum or Butler would do to him.

[Sigra]

Go Lakers?

I would personally rather see our new division and conference rival lose but thats just me

[VooDoo7]

Everyone has their own way of pay respect to someone. Doesn't surprise me that LeBron's is to dress up like them. I can't stand this guy.

[VooDoo7]

Russ has been real good lately. I'm quietly rooting for him (but still hoping they lose).

[emunney]

IIRC I had him like 3rd in his draft class and have felt stupid about it until 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, deep reservoir of things to feel stupid about.

[PG Graveyard]

The Lakers have built a slow team that can’t shoot at all. They are awful and boring
