Still not as a bad as ESPN's #97 player in the world although his comedic stylings can't be beat :lol:

Yeah, for the Celtics to go to the next level, Marcus had to go.

Just imagine Joe benching white last year to finish games, despite being one of our better players. Now we are seeing White’s potential unleashed!

That list is comedy. Dwhite is clearly an allstar. Better than most on that list. Definitely miles above Smart and “imma make both free throws” williams

Bucks have a 9-1 trailing record, and the 3rd-best record overall in the league.

Maybe Adrian Griffin Sr. isn't a total moron.

Fans love to overreact prematurely, people were calling for Mazulla's job too.

The Raptors need to blow it up, they are falling further and further into the abyss of mediocrity.

And nearly the entire fanbase wanted Udoka gone after a couple months before lobbying for him to win coach of the year a few months later.

Precious Achiuwa also going to Knicks.

Yea this was obvious, they need to trade Siakam next.

Masai should've waited until the Pistons game for the trade. Now they have 8 players available on a back 2 back.

I'm not sure the Knicks got better and they lost a huge offensive threat off the bench.

I agree with this. I think both teams lost this trade quite frankly

Knicks should kick the tires on Markkanen. Ainge might bite with enough draft compensation.

Well predicted. Copped an L on that trade though

If I was Utah Markkanen would be near untouchable.

Problem for Utah is Markkanen is good enough to keep Utah as a Good lottery team and never give them a top 5 chance.. Utah even beat Miami tonight.. Worst is to be stuck between late lottery and the play-in.. That's where Utah is heading..

What are the Jazz doing?

Ainge really does not know how to tank.

True, but the Knicks certainly don't have anything I would give up Markkanen for.

Markkanen was 4-13 and 1-8 from the three so he did his part tonight in getting that top 5 odds.

Pistons up 3, 745 left... vs Toronto.. I am having fun watching this one..
