Leon Rose sure ain't Brad Stevens

I actually think it is a double loss. More for the Knicks however. They had one thing I was concerned about when we played them. That was their physical toughness and rebounding. KAT makes them so soft and vulnerable IMO. Also KAT is another mouth to feed on offense so we'll see how that will play out.

I don't think I or anyone on here are better than any "professional" people in management generally speaking. But I do have a Big Pet Peeve when posters say things like "they are the Professionals" or "they see the players every day" etc.. so they must be right.

With that said, I think everyone could see how Bad Russell Westbrick would be for Denver. Just like he has been for almost every team he has played for since the 2020s. Why in hell would anyone think RW will workout long term? And No this is not a one game sample size. Just BB fit and common sense.

Denver needs to surround Jokic with as many quality shooters as possible and instead they get one of the worst.. Good luck Denver..

Brandon Miller out at least a week (get well soon). Boston plays Charlotte twice in a back-to-back in about a week.

So much was made out of Lebron appearing on the floor with his son for 3 minutes when back in 2019-2020, Al Horford was playing alongside his TWO sons. Al did it first but it was sadly the worst year of his career.

Lillard looks fantastic. Bucks are the biggest competition in the east as usual, one of the best teams in the league.

They better handle the Bulls first.

Magic look like elite competition in the east as well.

While I respect the career of FVV Due to him not being drafted and barely being 6 foot tall. I cannot respect any franchise like Houston paying him so much money just so they can be Mediocre or less..same for extremely overrated Dillon Brooks..

Then Houston hired an overrated AAU Minded coach, So it can be a lottery level team for the next 4 years..

#professionals.

At least Sengun is the real deal

What the hell happened to Hali? Good lord he sucks now. I've never seen a player fall off like this.

I was watching and I believe he was zero for 9 from three.

Oh shet..Marcus Smart full speed into Sengun's nuts.

Wow..FVV and D Brooks sit and Houston goes on a 17 -0 run..

Reed Shepard Will be better than I gave him Credit for when he was coming out in the draft..

Maybe the Bucks would have beat the Bulls if they shot more 3s. But at least they're exciting to watch losing?

ConstableGeneva · Post #818 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sat Oct 26, 2024 2:26 am

Bucks gave up 130+ to the Bulls. Let's go Doc!

JaMarco · Post #819 » by **JaMarco** » Sat Oct 26, 2024 2:28 am

Bucks only shot 13 3s tonight. I watched the whole game, I didn't see what was so awesome and exciting to watch about that. I call BS on the shooting a bunch of 2s is so much more exciting to watch thing.

That 1st Q by the Suns was a very good impression of Celtics basketball.
