For three years. It's like NBA front offices don't watch other teams.

I'd say for at least 5 years. He fell off significantly in his last year in OKC, was unplayable in the playoffs with the Rockets and has been getting worse ever since, 1 shameless stat padding regular season in Washington notwithstanding.

Hartenstein is going so big for this team. Love Chet but that body still isn't ready for full time C duties. Still too easy to body.

Denver needs to improve their 3 points shooting, both volume and percentage

Non televised game against a horrible defense on a random Thursday? This is what Randle lives for.

He’s got 22 points on 8/10 from the field. Worry for him what the reaction will be when he’s really stinking it up!

Ehhh, the Rockets playoffs he was coming off a hamstring injury which we have seen guys look bad off of too. The Wizards year was good. His prime ended on the Lakers, not helped by being extremely duplicative to Lebron (but worse obviously).

I love the Adidas commercial where the teenage girl is walking towards the camera while the song say 'top notch hoes get the most not the lesser'...

How do these things get approved?

Holmgren finishing through contact.

So Denver’s starters are still very good. They just need a bench.

Braun vs Westbrook +/- is wild

Randle always gets so much hate and unfair criticism imo.

I enjoy it when he plays well, he has been a two time All Star and All NBA player, yet still regarded as a bum/scrub.

Just think it's weird

How does Chet have a better whistle than joker?

Chuck Everett · Post #294 » by **Chuck Everett** » Fri Oct 25, 2024 3:04 am

Great pass by Naz Reid.

So what's the excuse for Westbrook's horrible play in the playoffs his last year in OKC and the one year he played in Washington?

Chet vs Wemby is back on for a night

They’re in big trouble. Murray’s meh and half the time isn’t even available, Gordon is decent but very matchup dependent, Porter just sucks, Russ is Russ, and they have a bunch of low IQ youth.

It’ll be real interesting to see what the next few seasons look like for Jokic.

Murray may not be hitting shots. But he is lookingg quicker

I still can’t believe they Wolves were stupid enough to extend Gobert even at the lower amount not knowing if they have the right team and it might not work. If Randle opts out you still don’t know if this is the right makeup team for Edwards.

Who wins?
