Denver is getting bounced in the second round. No way they beat OKC or Minny in a series. I'd pick the Lakers over them too.

So when are we going to have a talk about Deni being an absolute star in the league?

Those are basically lateral moves, 15 degrees upwards at best lol

Those are big upgrades - especially Lavine for Murray. Wiggins can’t shoot like MPJ but he brings more of everything else to the table.

Second round? Thy might just get bounced in the 1st if they play the Warriors or Timberwolves

Knicks just got a huge gift from the refs. They should have never stopped the game. Wow.

Imagine being the Wizards and dumping your only half decent prospect for no reason. Truly a bush league organization.

True.

They can beat the Warriors due to their overwhelming size advantage. But if they get the Wolves, the series isn't going more than 5 games.

Wiggins and Lavine suck. Neither of those trades make the Nuggets a better team.

Excellent game from scoot

If Portland builds on this team they'll be more than legit next season.

refs tryna give the blazers this game

Scoot playing real clutch in the 4th tonight.

Potential · Post #333 » by **Potential** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 4:40 am

Funniest part of that shot was we all knew it was short from our angle but Breen and Crawford thought it had a chance with their angle seeing it on line but not knowing it didn't have the power lol

lol. Does that include the refs reviewing for a whether Knicks hit rim (they didn’t) when the Knicks thought they did and were ready to dribble out the 24 second clock?

Never give up young players too early. Deni, wow. Scoot has looked great tonight. They add another stud from the draft, and pick up a few vets...Pistons 2.0 in terms of turnaround?

Is KD the biggest fraud of all time?

Right? That was a huge gift by the refs, and the Knicks pooched it.

It must be fate the Knicks go into Overtime right after Bridges complained about playing too many minutes.

They have a lot of above average players and player’s with potential to be above average. They just need a franchise player.

I had to refrain myself from turning the game off after that Tatum tech. We had a good game going on and then some Zebra decides it’s his time to get some shine. These people just get to ruin good games with no repercussions whatsoever.

Who wins?
