Time will tell.

For the first couple of seasons, Vince Carter looked better than Paul Pierce.

But when their careers were over, Pierce ended up the better player.

Let's see if SGA can continue to be great.

It's not a knock on Tatum who is also great, I just have believed since last year SGA is one of the very best players in the NBA. People dismissed him because the Thunder were mediocre. But now that they are healthy and will be a good playoff team in the West, he will now get the recognition.

Yeah, we'll find out once he's mainstream.

I was a little shocked at how easily the Sixers kept coming back. Honestly, they could have won the game if Embiid didn’t run out of gas and turn it over so much. The Sixers literally turned it over 4 straight possessions in last few minutes and still came back. The Bucks defense could be their Achilles heel this year.



That play where Embiid just slapped the ball to the middle like the world's laziest touch pass was REALLY bad.

This sequence from Embiid is worse than anything Jaylen has ever done lol



Yep that’s the play. I just did a skills camp for 3 and 4 graders earlier today. That effort would have raised eyebrows for 10 year olds. Can’t imagine a grown man doing it.

Cavs took a 10-point lead, 100-90, with 2:37 left in the game. OKC proceeded to outscore them 18-5 the rest of the way. Unserious team. Be more like the 2023-24 Celtics, you guys! :lol:

Through three games, Jalen Duran is averaging 18/15/4. He is 19 years old, and is already a physical monster.

26/8 for Nesmith in a win against the Cavs, 10-16 shooting.

Nets, Hawks, Grizzlies, Rockets, and Blazers are now the only teams without a win. I might've jinxed the TWolves. Good thing jinxes aren't real.

Miami also forgot how to hit 3's now that they aren't playing against us.

Getting blown out by the Wolves on a night when Towns and Ant are both awful.

I think I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've seen Tyler Herro play well against anyone besides us.

Your jinxes aren't real? I'm sending them my thoughts and prayers.
