Happy Saturday NBA fans it's a 5 game slate politely designed to fit in the poll

- Trae and the Hawks host NBA Champion Thunder on NBATV - SGA coming off career high 55 points
- Aaron Gordon (50 pts on Thurs) and the Nuggets battle Booker and the Suns
- #3 pick VJ Edgecombe (34 pts in debut) vs. #4 pick Kon Knueppel as Sixers host Hornets
- Plus Magic vs Bulls and Pacers vs Grizz what the heck you guys how do they come up with this stuff

Last year I made a thread about which team will be the final undefeated one... we're already down to 7 teams remain and two pay tonight... Hornets and Sixers!

5 undefeateds in the East as of right now means they are a superior conf right, that's how math works? Someone confirm....
Cheers

Second of a back to back for the Hawks, but OKC's first two games went into double OT.

I always get fascinated about teams that still to lose or still to win, I start cheering for those streaks to continue. I am probably more into streaks than most, I used to do that streak watch thing and all.

There are like 20 teams not in the poll.

I'm gonna need Aaron Gordon to get his PER over 50 tonight. 49.5 just doesn't look as cool.

Bulls have a chance to steal one from Orlando thanks to their b2b with the Hawks.

Chet with 4 threes in the first 7 minutes. He is being ultra aggressive offensively.

Shai rests early. He'll probably play low 30s minutes tonight at most. Ajay Mitchell 1st guy off the bench for OKC which I love. He is so good and needs to be playing as many minutes as Daigs can find for him.
