The Jazz offense is so unorganized. Guys are just floating into each other’s space and it always looks like at least one player doesn’t know the play.

Lack of guard play. There’s only one guy who can handle the ball and it’s Keyonte, then they had Flip starting with Kessler with Lauri at the 3.

It’s almost the same thing happening to the Mavs.

They really need to tank because they overpaid to get their pick this year.


So they can blow that pick too? Their draft this year was laughably bad.

Yeah, I would have drafted Kasparas and CMB using both their firsts. Their doing it wrong with all these big PGs who can’t get paint touches.

It’s actually crazy that Sean Marks still has a job. I can’t believe he survived the ownership change from Prokhorov to Tsai and the failed Harden/KD/Kyrie. Dude has to be the best office politician of all time.

He’s really not much different from Hinkie. He stockpiled draft picks, struggled with talent evaluation, and was directed by ownership to tank. All he needs now is to luck into his own “Joel Embiid.”

They both need more time, but both teams also have some flaws.

Speaking of the Knicks. Last year and likely this year they were a team that had good perimeter defense and high offensive firepower but struggled defensively especially at the rim.

I still feel better with Joel over Karl Anthony Towns, maybe on both ends eventually. But I officially believe that the Sixers are built better and are better than the NYK. Maxey better defensively than Bronson for sure, which is their other huge weakness defensively, and Karl has really struggled defensively in NY. Joel can at least think on the defensive end.

This should be our best shot at the ECF and Finals. The East is putrid this year, lol.

Our firepower is insane, we just need *mostly* everyone to stay healthy.

We should press Brunson and the Knicks more often, their guard rotation is thin, and that pressure would wear Brunson down. It’s the same tactic the Pacers used effectively against them last season.

Thought it was the Luka MVP season but maybe it’s the Austin Reaves MVP season.

Suns running 3 guard unit of Gillespie-Booker-Allen, with Dunn/Oneal and Williams at 4&5

They definitely have the depth to press him

Portland is so lucky they traded for Jrue and resigned Dame. The Billups situation could’ve destroyed their season but having two of the better leaders in the NBA has to be a major asset right now.

Yep. Since i bought league pass, i will probably watch some Jazz games that arent that late so i can watch Bailey, but i watched the first half last night and it was ugly. Really dont like their players. They are tanking for so long, and they really didnt get a lot of nice players. The wizards seems to have tank way more efficiently than Utah...

The Bucks are playing hard without Giannis tonight, they’re a much better team than I expected. They found a good one in Ryan Rollins.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
