Is there an NBA team that could lose their 2 best starters and best bench player (Mo) and not be? Serious question, maybe there's at least one lol

Something to keep in mind — Pistons are a truly terrible 4th quarter team. We’ve choked or nearly choked a whole bunch of late leads.

we need better play from everyone on the team not named KCP

He didnt say anything, he just spent the whole last possession of the 1st half clapping loudly on defense for 10 seconds as Suggs tried to 1 on 1 Isaiah Stewart


I don't see a problem with it. If Suggs was doing it for the Magic, it would be no issue. Cade was just trying to hype up Stewart as Suggs had the mismatch. Suggs pretty much asked for the match-up and Isiah held his own.

Watching Cavs play is like poetry. Watching us play is like watching two cats fight.

Its the kinda thing that irks me when the player is on the opposing team but I like it if theyre on my team

10 seconds of it is kinda excessive tho

Rockets and Grizzlies are deep, but west is so hard so I say no. Thunder are deep but entirely rely on Shai and Jdubs creation so I say no chance.

Cavs team of Mobley/Allen/Wade/Strus/Ty Jerome?? Maybe could win a play-in game in the east idk.

I'm leaning no as well.

sure but this offense is offensive... he's worth a look at the moment


I sorry but Houston has shown more in the last two games than Jett has shown the whole season.

My post was before Houstan was subbed in. We needed some shooting and Houstan suffices if Jett isn't going to get any burn.
