Wonder if the Sixers can bring Dario back to replace Niang.

I think he'll be shooting more threes with each passing season. Similar to Maxey, I think the rookie year is just a "prove you can hang" type situation. I think his body type is more concerning; he looks like one of those under the basket, untoned 70s basketball player lol.

Zion is going to eat his way out of the league.
Ja is going to gangster his way out of the league.

Give me Garland AND Herro before either of those two clowns.

This Ja stuff makes me thankful social media wasn’t around during Iverson’s heyday lol

Things could be a lot worse for us. We could be the Grizzlies or Clippers.

Losing Brandon Clarke ends their championship hopes right?

TBF if your offense falls of a cliff without Steven Adams, you never were a real contender lol

Poetl is playing great with Raps with 15ppg 9rpg 2spg 2bpg. With history as precedent, could it be a move to help them beat us in the playoffs?

Jonathan Isaac done for the season. I think that's a wrap for him, unfortunately.

Ja Morant's behavior, the way he carries himself, the way he impacts his team reminds me an awful lot of Allen Iverson during his early years in the league. As Jailblazers pointed out, thank God social media wasn't around in the late 90s/early 2000s. I think Ja Morants career will have similar trajectory to Iversons. He'll be here for a while and then one day be gone. I like him, I like that Grizzlies team, it would be cool to see them make a Finals appearance one day with Morant and the rest of that roster.

Sucks. I would still take a flier on him.

The national networks have gotten some gem games in these past two days.

Sixers/Bucks and now Suns/Mavericks. Best of the best and all the stars scoring huge numbers.

Under 30 guys:

Tier 1: Giannis Antetokounmpo - Won a Championship

Tier 2: Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum - Took his team to the Finals

Tier 3: Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, Ja Morant, Nikola Jokic - Trying to get to the Finals

I’m starting to believe the Warriors will make the Finals again. Klay getting his swagger back while Steph was out could prove to be the turning point of their season.

their starters have kick ass the entire season, the issue was the bench.

Divicenzo and Kuminga emerging solve that so i would be worried about them if I was a west team, they also can easily end 3rd giving how poor the teams are doing on the west.

The West is definitely wide open.

Still think the champion comes from the East this year. Either the Sixers or the Celtics win the whole thing. Cavs are the darkhorse to win it all.

I know we shouldn't play this game of "picking our opponents" but I think the route that gives us the best shot at making the Finals is Milwaukee in round 2 then Cleveland in the ECF. I think Cleveland (#1 NET RGT, #2 DRTG, #9 ORTG) has a legit shot at upsetting Boston in round 2 if the seeding plays out that way.
