Why?

Cause staying up past midnight for regular season double OT sucks lol.

PLUS - it gives the NBA a chance to evaluate what an ELAM ending might look like in real NBA games. I for one would 100% be for an ELAM ending if the game goes to OT.

And when it inevitably proves it would be way superior, we can change all NBA game to ELAM

Yea 1 OT is enough for a regular season game, plus watching KD call a timeout when they had none and the refs look the other way to send it into double OT completely lost my attention.

There is nothing that really supports Scottie being better. Franz was chucking up bricks from 3 and still put up 24 a game on 56 TS%. If he fixes his outside jumper, the ceiling rises significantly. Franz has gotten better every year across the board outside of his shooting. The advance stats also have Franz as close to a top 10 player in the league by EPM and way ahead of Scottie. His on/off 100 stats in his career have been very impressive at a +9.3, his teams have been significantly better with him on the court than off it.

Is Scottie a better defender? Franz ranked 11th in Defensive EPM. Scottie was 13th in Defensive EPM. It's closer than people probably think.

Woah, close to a top 10 player in EPM. That's D. White territory. Franz must be a superstar.

Just imagine if we had both of them!!!

Haha well played.

Is it bad that I might be more excited to see the Spurs-Mavs than the Raptors game? Year 3 Wemby vs Cooper Flagg.

Also Franz clears Barnes, stop it.

It's funny that Orlando Robinson and Colin Castleton weren't good enough for the Raptors, but both found their way to the Orlando Magic roster where they already have a deep C rotation (WCJ, Wagner, Goga)

Davion Mitchell will be that player that got away. He would be amazing as the starting PG in this iteration of the team and it looks like he finally figured out how to be a very good basketball player. Damn, wish we could have kept him. He has so much Lowry in him.

I hate that the unworthy Sixers got VJ.

Knicks Cavs was a good game, both teams missing players. OG 24 and 12 in the win

Wait.. Walker Kessler can shoot the 3 now?

VJ Edgecombe is going to be such a great player. He gets after it defensively and will be a stocks machine.

Everything about VJ screamed star since that Bahamas performance
Silver will pay for letting the shameless sixers tank and get him

Nurse already in playoff form playing Maxey and Edgecombe 40+ mins on opening night lol

Wemby is him…and is absurd.

ESPN needs to stop trying to force feed Antman as the face because it’s going to be HIS (Vic) league within a couple of years (period). I don’t care what anyone says we should’ve at least given a shot to commit to the tank that year, Wemby will be the most insane thing we’ve ever seen if he can remain healthy by the time he’s anywhere near his prime.

I'm the one that wanted Walker Kessler so bad.

Clingan is shooting 3's too.

wemby has been unreal this game. like i can't believe what i'm watching unreal.

dTox · Post #1916 » by **dTox** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 3:24 am

My goodness Wemby, he is looking like a monster. He is destroying Anthony Davis, making him look like a ragdoll, not many people can do that to an elite defensive talent like AD, the league is about to realize as of this year, that it now belongs to Wemby.

PushDaRock · Post #1917 » by **PushDaRock** » Thu Oct 23, 2025 3:25 am

What are the odds that Wemby won't be the best player in the league at some point?

Forget a within a couple of years, it may be as of THIS season

Wemby is going to own this league for years to come
