So the guy on your team isn't your guy because he hasn't earned it, but the guy on the Wolves that never earned it in the playoffs gets your support and defense. That really checks out, keep doing the pro bono work.

Randle wore that jersey far longer than KAT, so yes, he has my respect. But again, I don't bring up Randle anymore like you guys do. It's petty. He's gone. Congrats. Stop posting about him and I'll stop jumping in to put some contexts on the hate.

You don't need to bring him up, you're the random lady in a fight video screaming at the top of your lungs when someone is getting jumped. It solves nothing and saying it over and over again doesn't matter. Just mind your business and move along, you can try and take the holier than thou route if you want, we're indeed petty and have no time for what you talking about. He's getting jumped whether you like it or not.

This is a legendary post.

i guess the idea is that injuries will make us and philly land out of the top 4 ? because even i think that's rough. the playoff simulation is crazy though. if we lose to indy in round 1 with this payroll and no assets.....somebody is getting fired.

The finest take good sir. This man survived:

- Donovan Mitchell rumors
- OG Trade
- Bogs Trade
- Towns Trade

And looks to have a big role. The smoke only made him stronger and now Deuce is indestructible.

They projected the Knicks with 33 wins last year....maybe they are just off with the Knicks.

Reading the article it has no mention of injuries. I think a lot of these sims aren't high on the idea of Bodega Bargs playing C.

Any model that has the cavs ahead of us is dumb and shouldn't be taken serious

Frank was like the robotaxi. Great idea in the lab but the rollout was terrible.

But at least the robotaxi could move forward in traffic. Frank just stalled.

If Steins model plays out, Thibs can go.

I think we'll be first or second in the regular season. Thibs is gonna max the **** out of this roster. Boston is still the team to beat.

I used to love Stein, but he's lost a bit of his edge, he's more formulaic, and he has less personal knowledge of some of the teams he writes about (including the Knicks). So maybe just put these predictions along with all predictions since Nostradamus. Some pan out, some are wrong, and some are so crazy wrong you'd think the guy who makes those predictions is deranged.
