Nice to see Bones Hyland got serious about his NBA career. Dude was on the verge of being out of the league, but now is playing rotation minutes for a really good NBA team.

Marcus Smart is still a dog. He needs to start over Vincent.

fr just because it is a contract year you can't expect that dude to show some effort. He got his 2nd contract already. Everything else is gravy.

Terrible call against Gobert. Such a flop by Reaves.

Smarts play is contagious. He and Jake are gonna be fan favorites. Ayton on the other hand…

Losing FVV was a dagger.


nah trading their entire perimeter for an old frontcourt player when they already had Amen/Sengun/Adams frontcourt was the dagger.

Not gonna disagree. I don't think Durant is going to take them anywhere. But fans are obsessed with name old players.

Geez The Wiz are such a fun young team to watch.

One of my league pass favourites this season

They will have ups and downs as usual but they definitely will surprise a lot of people this season..Kyshawn George could be set for a breakout season.

Long suffering DC fans should feel optimistic about their future

I've liked Jake for when he burned the Lakers last year I think it was 28 points or something, everyone was like who's this guy lols and now we got him:)
