Only way they can beat us is dragging us down to their level.


I’ve never seen such a horrible player (Martin) take every shot. He can’t shoot 3s, mediocre finisher, it’s bizarre

They badly need a rebuild. I think last year was their window closing. I’m not sure they can make another deep run. They are really lacking in scoring and only getting older.

Having said that, it’d be really obnoxious to play this team round one. It’d be a seven game series when it should really be five.

Our bigs and our guards are so reliant on each other on opposite ends lol. Allen and Mobley can't do much when Garland and Mitchell aren't setting them up, yet Garland and Mitchell would be a trainwreck defensively if not for the bigs repeatedly erasing their mistakes.

This team would win like 30 games max if they didn’t have such a great coach.

Cavs really miss the Finnisher,he is the only big can attack the rim and shoot from deep

I don’t think Riley would ever do a rebuild. Idk what the deal is with Bam. Seems like he hasn’t gotten better since he peaked a few years ago.

Idk if he'll ever be a good enough offensive player to escape the "bust" label as a #5 overall pick, but Okoro is an awesome perimeter defender. He has Brunson in prison so far.

Rooting for these Nugs if my Clips don’t make it, they play hard nosed pesky af defense with some sweet motion offense fueled by Jokic, just gorgeous basketball.

Really? Why do you say that?


Cap space to give him what he wants and need someone to score from bench.

Billy is such a crap coach.

It seems there is no insurmountable lead for the Pacers. They are never out of any game

Makes me happy as a Magic fan :lol:

Kinda sad to see though. The talent is there. Looks like some of their players lack heart.
