Something I didn't expect: Lineups with Horford + Pritchard have been outscoring opponents by 20.1 pts per 100 poss. That goes up to 28.8 if Porzingis doesn't play alongside them.

Neither Walsh nor Queta are listed on the injury report. Queta vs. Okungwu showdown gonna be epic.

Murray & Kornet to Magic, JB to Hawks, WCJ & JJ to Cs. As soon as we're able.


That's brilliant. Only the salaries don't work (involve Bogdanovic?).
Makes sense to the Hawks and Magic as well.

No way of knowing now. We don't know what the cap situation of Hawks and Magic is going to be in the offseason. It's just the basic structure. Add picks/salary fillers as necessary. JB isn't trade eligible until July.

Stinky-poo offense. Fine, more mid than stinky-poo.

No KP and potentially no Jrue = my turn your turn crap from the Jays. Not looking forward to it.

It often looks like these guys don't even know what to do when the other team actually tries on defense.

I'm already assuming we don't make the IST. So just survive these next three games. There's a midseason break (12/2 to 12/11).

Lmao

Anyways, the Bucks defense is truly ass. Blazers are the worst offense in the league, and may put up 70 by halftime.

I think they actually play a few games in that time, at least Keith Smith was saying that today they face a few teams that also lost

Don’t we just have to destroy Chicago to get in? That’s very doable if this team wants it

As frustrated as we get with this team at least we’re not in the Bucks situation. Basically Championship or bust this year with their ageing roster & their defence is atrocious.

Hopefully they just win by 10 pts or something. No travel to Vegas. Take advantage of the long break.

OHHH. It just so happens it hasn't been scheduled yet pending IST results. That makes sense. So there's a chance they still go on the road during that time.

Pritchard + Kornet is +34.9. Clearly Joe needs to start them both.

We knew Zinger wasn't going the whole year healthy. Better now than later.

Damn. This ain't good. -- We can easily absorb one of the Top 6 being Out. But 2? IDK how long we can do that and Prevail?

Stupid Blazers. Lost all of their 2,000-pt lead. Brogdon commanding their tank.
