Excuses because a rookie clamped his arse.

[GeorgeSears]

Only PG playing worse than Jamal Murray is Haliburton. Haliburton has looked dreadful.

[Lakers In 5]

Atlanta suffer the embarrassing stat of being the first team to lose to the Wiz (at home too)

Quality comeback with by the Bulls against a solid team on the road.

Definitely can say The Cavs are the 2nd best team in the East and have the size and wings that can challenge Boston.

Fun day of results so far

They might be the second best in the east, I think that is going to be a battle with Orlando though. And I dont think Cleveland can match up with Boston at all. They just cant stop them.

Allen/Mobley on KP and Horford
Mobley/Wade on Tatum?
Levert/Niang on Brown?
Mitchell in White?
Garland on Jrue is probably OK cause Jrue doesnt shoot much.

They have the same team as last year and got stomped by Boston.


IMO the team in the East that match up the best are Indiana and Orlando

Orlando is a well built machine
Indiana is ALMOST there, they really need something a bit more on the wing. and I dont see Indiana's Siakam, Hali and Turner continuing to shoot so poorly.

Indiana was in close against Orlando and against. and in their loss to the Knicks they just flat out sucked. a Stinker. Team shot 3-30 from the 3pt line. Haliburton that game had an offensive rating of 33

It is not the same team by virtue of health. Allen didn't play the entire series, Mitchell got injured halfway through the series and Garland was dealing with a broken jaw, playing on nothing but fluids . Not to mention the coaching that has occurred, which is an improvement by definition due to Bickerstaff evidently being a 0.

Does that mean they can battle the Celtics? Absolutely not, but there is a lot of context you conveniently left out.

That being said, yesterdays Lakers loss was so avoidable. LeBron looked so, so bad. However, I was once again very pleased with Redick. He was angry, but took responsibility and accountability. Something that is just absent in the brain of Ham. We'll see whether JJ can act upon this, but there is reason for some optimism.

We need to get a better center than hayes

First off, the Cavs were without Allen and Mitchell against the Celtics last year. Second, one of Porzingis, Horford or Jrue has to go to the bench. The NBA isn't going to let the Celtics start 6 guys in the playoffs. That's going to matter as Mobley will either be matched up with Tatum or Brown's going to have to guard one of Garland/Mitchell.

Lakers got screwed by that non-call but shouldn't have let it get decided by that

LA just literally shot 40 FTs to the Suns 17 on Friday, and had a 25-2 FT advantage Friday night.

Yall complaining about calls is a bit much.

you mean the midrange artists don't draw a lot of fouls, shocker! Refs must've hated Rip Hamilton too because he drew at like half the rate Corey Maggette did.

Horford or kp starts, ideally KP u less something is wrong. Obviously

Mobley defending tatum is game over for cavs
Brown guarding mitchell doesnt bode well for the cavs

Giannis is an all-time great and future HOFer but I'm not sure there is a current player who benefited more from a ring than he did.

Like take out that 2021 year and the Giannis Bucks era includes just one conference finals and 4 first round exits in 7 years including a notable first round loss as a 1 seed. And this year is not tracking to be any better and probably another first round exit. Obviously you can't actually take his title year out and he was incredible that year but that 2021 postseason is working wonders for his legacy.

I'm a fan of his but you can probably but AD in that category too. Without that ring and his performance in the playoffs, he doesn't have any accomplishments that live up to the massive hype he had as a prospect. He was basically Wemby before Wemby.
