Possibly as high as 4th, considering form and injuries to a few others.

Brunson would have never reached this level playing next to Luka.

Mavs still botched it, but yea, Brunson gets to be the guy here, that wasn’t happening in Dallas.

This is technically where Towns is supposed to help Brunson win this.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

The Celtics early in the game were having success driving to the basket the times they did.

What I dont get about Tatum is he idolizes Kobe and at times he takes shots that Kobe would never take

Wait…what?

There was a shot Kobe wouldn’t take?


Kobe's not chucking several 3's in a row if he's missing
