We're 6th in net rating over our last 10 games somehow, with our defense being 13th. We need Mikal to find his shot soon, Brunson to get back to Jan-May form and to decide who to move between Mitch and Precious for some more depth.

This is a championship level team, if not this year then next year we should be considered a favorite after we fortify the bench.

Hate to break it to you nodope but that run is looking like a fluke tbh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's currently averaging 24ppg, 6.5apg, 2.9rpg on 46% and 38% from three, imagine how good you have to be for that to be considered a rough start. The fact you're going to try and hop on the Brunson train when it takes off again is disgusting, you're no Oliver Queen, you're the Dark Archer.

Don't let Greenie off the hook. They must pay for their transgressions. No quarter.

Blood donation is the best thing anyone can do for their community. It doesn't matter what you look like, your gender, or what team you root for. We all have the same thing flowing through us, however, each of us have individual blood types and yours could help someone who may need it in a hospital or emergency room.

You can save up to 3 people with just one donation. It could be a baby, a teenager, someone's mom, anyone.

Please consider. Thx

Nice! do you work there?

KAT should be shooting about 8-10 3s a game.

We have some issues but I'm still optimistic we're better than our record shows, similar to Dallas.

I think Brunson-KAT could be the foundation of a historically great offense, not just a top 5 offense in this year's NBA. But we need to take more 3s, and Mikal does need to fix his 3-point shot. If not, I think that Deuce should start over either Hart or Mikal to inject more 3-point shooting into the starting lineup.

On defense, we rely on Thibs and on our wings to mask Brunson and KAT's weaknesses, which aren't gonna go away. We need to see more adaptability from Thibs with more switching and more contests on 3-point shooters, and also ideally an increase in defensive intensity from both Hart and Mikal.

I think we top out as an average to slightly above-average defense with some improvements in those areas. But I believe we're not close to our offensive ceiling, and our offense could be overpowering to the point where defensive mediocrity isn't particularly relevant. But we're not there yet.

We need Precious back and possibly a move on the fringes for a guy who can be trusted for 10-15 minutes per game (what Shamet was expected to be I suppose).

I think we need one more wing with size, sort of how the Thunder have all these guards and wings and still went out and got Caruso. Shamet is cool, but we still lack that one extra 6'7+ guy, and it's not Matt Ryan

I'm just happy Greenie is contained on our board, if he's let out into the world and becomes a Politician we're all screwed, he'll be President as soon as he's old enough.

playing in the east is like being graded on a bell curve in a class full of idiots

if we were in the west i could understand some urgency/concern - had the playoffs started today the twolves would miss the play-in @ 6-6 while we'd have homecourt advantage @ 5-6

we have a lot of time and space to figure things out which is why i value the process over the results this early on - just need to stay as healthy as we can and hope it's not a domino effect of perpetual injury like it was last season

Nope, I'm just a regular donor. My dad was pretty sick early this year and needed multiple blood transfusions that kept him from dying. I decided to pay it forward by donating myself, and ended up understanding just how critical blood donation is. So now I donate every time I'm eligible.

I figure if i can convince just one other person to donate, that's 3 other people who can be saved at a time of need, so it's worth it.

It's not bad really, the only part that sucks is that they have to prick your thumb during pre screening each time, and for some reason that hurts like hell, but the regular donation process is pretty simple and painless. I usually dick around on my phone while it's happening and you're done before you know it.

Plus they give you chips and drink afterwards

In todays NBA and with his efficiency I wouldn't mind if he put up 15 a game.

Awesome.

If anyone wants to make blood donation more fun, buy a bottle of MD 20/20 to drink after. Works great when you are a pint of blood short.
