Absolutely agree. With 30 teams it sounds either arrogant or negative to say the title is ours to lose, but it's the truth.
No injuries please. And White, Holiday, Brown, Tatum and Porzingis just have to trust each other. Nobody needs to be the star.

I'm not saying KP is better than KG, but if there's one aspect of the game that KP is better than KG, it's the low post game.

KP's low post game is really impressive.

Porzingis is a better offensive player than KG. It isn’t sacrilegious to say that. KG was a very good offensive player and an absolute monster defensively

I’m not saying White is a better player than Michael Jordan, I’m just saying he’s better on both sides of the court.

Probably could hit a breaking ball, too.

He's such an elite role player.

Also has the highest basketball IQ on the team.


I called White a Great Role player.. Wyc at halftime vs the LAC Clippers said the same word for word.. and ONE Poster semi-blasted me for that. :o :-?

BUT ... If White gets to this Allstar game, then Star it is !! :nod:
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

We won 3 out 4 game on West.


I don’t even think it’s really all that close either. White is just as good as Smart defensively, better offensively, and worlds smarter on the court.

What?? KG had a "dream like" post up game Footwork.. (McHale taught him some of his moves) Think you guys either forgot or are too young.

Nope!

I'm not that young.

KG goes for jumpers and fade away shots.

KP does a lot of in your face shots.

You cant play 1QT like that and then just say fck it and start jacking 3s without moving the damn ball


I mean it looked like he showed it during half time because we went to the basket regularly in the second half

Accidentally voted for Brown, but meant KP! Dude is so valuable top this team.

White, KP and Jrue (defensively) imo will carry this team in the playoffs.

What????


Keep on reading the thread. I didn't recommend it, I merely stated it was a possibility, but put a question mark for a reason. See a few posts further along.


Horford going out in a trade for a player of equal value would not be a significant possibility.

Horford going out in a trade for a lesser player is even less of a possibility.

Horford plus a pick being traded for a lesser player is not a possibility at all.

Good win after we lost the lead in the second while shooting 31% from 3
Regrouped and beat LA

KP for VC, White or JT CP
KP plays so good on both ends. Really bothering the other team's offense by just raising his arm

Hauser didn't have the best of trips shooting wise. He seems like he is rushing or forcing his shots. Just needs to calm down
He is a good rebounder and he found his dribble penetration when people rush him which are nice

Horford isn’t being traded. Lol.

Notables:
• White, Holiday, KP, PP all had a TS% of 70%+ lol.
• The TEAM had an assist/turnover ratio of 3.63. (This factoid made me come ngl.)
• Cs outscored opponents by 16.8 points per 100 possessions.
• Hauser didn't even shoot well.
• Queta showed what can do (7.5 ppg/7.8 rpg in 17.3 mpg; elite screening).
