92 points for the Sixers last night. I guess they are only the greatest offense of all time when they play the Wizards. That's a shame.

What's your point ? NBA teams should not struggle to crack 90 points in 2023 regardless of personnel. Besides, they have Nick Nurse that's supposedly this genius coach and Maxey whom I've been told has made the leap to superstar this season. They should not be this bad offensively. For context, the Detroit Pistons who aren't a real NBA offense have failed to hit 100 just twice this season.

Phily is also going to add a 3rd star by the trade deadline, like Lavine who would be really good for them.

Bulls are 10-5 without LaVine. There is a reason for that

The assets they got from the Harden trade.

I still think he will be dangerous on the 6ers.

Happy new year to all of you on here.

I'm enjoying the experience of surfing a Celtics 'board' as originally a Lakers fan and later thinking KP was an extremely interesting proposition as a draftee.

Siakam for Toby will be more scary.

I'm calling this one now: Milwaukee loses to Indiana tomorrow.

Read on Twitter

This is cause DLo didn't turn into DWhite like he was hoping he would.

Fierce1 · Post #1914 » by **Fierce1** » Mon Jan 1, 2024 3:18 am

Or the Lakers coach is not as good as Joe! :lol:

I think it's the two Ds reasons..

first overall team defense...

Second is you need a defined role.. How many different players are starting and then getting benched after every few games... A team needs to fit together.. Legm Just thanks by adding players it'll all work out..

Fierce1 · Post #1916 » by **Fierce1** » Mon Jan 1, 2024 3:42 am

Team Defense - Coach responsible for that.

Define Role - Coach responsible for that too.

I bet the Lakers would trade Ham for Joe.

Well… they would have to trade him for jrue because he is supposedly the man in charge on defense. I don’t remember the exact story but Joe said part of his defense was based off of what jrue does before jrue became a celts. I think he said it was based on jrue talking about what he does.

I’m likely bungling the story, but jrue is still a major part of our scheming.

Anyway, they can’t have em even if the trade included a guaranteed healthy AD this entire season. :lol:

Wolves finally ran into a buzzsaw... the new look Knicks! Down 16 headed to the 4th. Let's see if Knicks hold on and hand the Wolves a rare loss.

Welp, lead got cut in half in 2 minutes. Thibs already burned his 2nd timeout in 4th.
