NBA players get sick a lot it seems

[Milbucks96]

We're still a dead average team by every metric (record, SRS, net-rating) despite largely having our two best players available all season. They absolutely do need to have these guys all healthy at the same time to really evaluate where we stand in the contender pecking order right now. As encouraging as the last month and a half has been, I don't really believe everything's been magically fixed just because we've now got a few young role-players to be excited about. Even if I hate to admit it, nobody's rightfully putting us past any of Cleveland, Boston, or the Knicks right now based on the evidence.

This is a pretty fair state of the union imo. TBH I’m not sure we’re even ahead of a fully fit Magic team atm. We’ve improved since our grim start but while a lot of that is down to sorting out the rotations and, frankly, just trying harder, the schedule has been a lot easier too.

But we’ve gone from utter disaster to outer circle contender which is a step in the right direction. Midds getting back into form is looking really promising too.

The brave move it to trade Bobby before the deadline for a piece or two that can kick us up another gear. I’m not sure Horst will be keen to move Bobby given his uptick in play and sentimental value to the franchise but it’s the obvious play to make if the right deal is available.

I’d be fine with us staying pat though. If Giannis keeps up his MVP play and Dame catches fire at the right time we’re a realistic chance to win the title.

Yea I been checking weekly to see if anything has changed but the stats pretty much paint us as an ok team and after that start, I’ll take it. I hope they do what they can to improve but it’s looking like that might just be who we are. I’m just enjoying the wins and hope they can have an entertaining playoff run wherever it goes.

Jevon Carter with 19 points in the first quarter off the bench for the Bulls against the Hawks.

I somehow get the Bulls Hawks game OTA in Tosa but not the Bucks game. F*cking insane.

Khris looking spry and Ajax made a basket at the rim.

Would love to see a practice where it's Rollins vs AJ Johnson.

[ReasonablySober]

Dope inbounds play.

The Brooklyn announcers aren't much better but it seems like the picture on the broadcast is a little better for some reason

[Siefer]

Didn't look like a foul tbh
