My Suns giving the Wolves a nice spanking in the first half. No Jalen or Grayson either. See if they can keep up.

Never mind the West I worry we're at a disadvantage to younger more athletic Detroit and Orlando.

I didn't get around to mentioning them but I agree. Their skill level and experience (both of which they did not have last season) is now catching up this season.

What are they supposed to say about us though? We’re flat-out better. These teams may win some games here or there against us, but the notion that Detroit is a threat is so wild to me. It’s almost as if last year’s Cavs team had never flamed out.

Our Knicks know how to share the ball and have plenty of shot-makers, some truly great shooters, good defenders, intelligent ballers, great rebounders. That wins games in playoffs.

All too often, the logic on this board is, “Oh, that team over there doesn’t look bad - wait a minute, our Knicks really suck”.

I could see Memphis, Detroit and Orlando make a push for AD. What do you all think?

watched DEN-HOU and it was fun. clearly the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the league imo.
Houston has more talent and options, but Jokic is so much better than everybody else, it is borderline comical.

The Timberwolves lost to the Suns and have not beaten a .500 team yet. Sitting at 10-5 because Silver gave them the ultra cupcake schedule. He'll do anything to help a star on those small market teams. :nonono:

RJ, Quick, and the Raptors are 11-5, having won 10 of their last 11 games, Including wins against Cavs x2, Sixers, Bucks, Hawks.

The Raps look serious; youthy, athletic, and rangy with a good closer. They are clicking, led by the talent of RJ Barrett.

I’ve never watched him at all before this highlight reel. If he developed a 3 point shot perhaps he could be the next Julius Randle

Watching Raptors tonight and lately I'm almost ready to add them to the list. Big frontline of Barnes Ingram and Poeltl, RJ a big SG, IQ playing well. They picked up Mamu the guy who had a huge game for the Spurs against Knicks last year. May be in a position to make an impactful trade this year. I thought they'd be a play in team this year but looking more like a top 6 team early on.

Wizards making them look good tonight but they've had some quality wins too

wish he had sign him instead of Yabu.

Heat have revamped their offense, running fewer pick n rolls than anyone else

One NBA team ditched basketball's most popular play and is now scoring more than ever https://share.google/5jyBa27XMJUEasmmG

Honestly, Morant has Detroit written all over him…

Holland, Harris and a small contract as filler are basically enough salary-wise.

It would help if we were playing better.

It's understandable to be impressed by youth, size and athleticism on other teams
