Sixers fans must be sick watching Tatum torch them year after year

Brooklyn's got a devastating secret weapon when it comes to tanking. Their all bench lineup is one of the worst lineups in the modern NBA, and has taken them out of every close game over the past two weeks.

Who said "defensively"? You switched goal posts.

I don't care what the W L records are, we ain't a top 5 team in the L

Those teams play D, we don't, and we'd get clobbered if we match up with any of them in a 7 game series

We get clobbered by the top 3 teams.....with no Mitch

Fully healthy, the Lakers aint clobbering us, and certainly not the Warriors. No we arent a top five team, we're a top 4 team.

Yeah so I can safely tell you as an old millennial, Mikal isn't even in the same universe as 19 year old T Mac

Mikel is overpriced Tim Hardaway Jr

In hindsight buzz, you said a very nasty thing about Tim Hardaway Jr.

At least Hardaway jr. was never afraid to shoot the basketball.

Right.

It's crazy to see a guy who is due an extension playing timid and not being aggressive defensively

I'm calling up Phoenix and seeing if they take him back

I would be shocked if it isn’t a Cleveland vs Boston ECF and a Lakers vs GS WCF.

If you've seen Draymond's response to being called out for his stupid comments about KAT, you'll understand why this dude has no problems assaulting people.

Nah... OKC is still a notch above the Lakers and GSW and Lakers/GSW still have no answer for Denver.

I'm thinking OKC vs. Denver in the WCF though it should be competitive with Lakers/GSW getting stronger.

Yeah I see Denver and OKC ahead of the Lakers and Warriors.

Luka crying about every call in a Lakers uni makes him way more annoying and will be surely added to my hate list.

It will be a real test of the NBA refs to see if they can keep OKC out of the Finals. They're so deep, they'll be a tough out

Raptors were playing without Poeltl, and Jazz lost. But still a monster game. Yeah I'm thinking last summer we should have gotten Kessler for less than Bridges, to replace iHart. Run it back with Randle and Divo to see what last year's team could do healthy. And move Randle at deadline if it wasn't working.

Would have had more flexibility for sure, but IMO, you really can't pass up on KAT. Best case would have been no Bridges deal, keep DDV, make the move for WK and obviously some of those picks go to Jazz and Wolves. Probably have to lose Deuce in the fracas.
Mitch/WK/Huk
KAT/Prec
OG/Hart/Pac
Donte/Shamet/Warren
Brunson/Payne/Kolek/Wright
Probably other changes as well, but overall, this team is more recognizable.
