The East is wide open this year.

I'm honestly liking the Raptors to win the East so far.

Forget the east they’re winning it all

Thanks for the vote. I'm not as confident. xD

2 wings who can handle and create their own offense + the supporting cast.

I'm getting Boston vibes with Brown/Tatum aka Ingram/Barnes.

Oh I see what you mean. I think all the players need to be consistent and the supporting cast needs to grow through the season. Not to mention players' health. And the coaching also has to improve tactically and grow as well. Unlike those Celtics teams, our team lack consistent 3 point shooters and wealth of 2-way players. We can be in the mix with the above 3 conditions met.

Can't see GS keeping this under a 15pt loss, they just don't have the offense tonight.

Their offense isn't the issue, its their defense.

OKC have too many potent two way wings and guards, aside from prime SGA currently the best player on the planet.

Is it fair to say the Knicks would have won that game if they had bird brain (Mazzulla) coaching instead of Mike Brown ?

It was probably the right call to fire Thibs, but really the Front Office made a mistake hiring Mike Brown


I still firmly believe they should have hired Sam Cassell FWIW

They should have waited to fire Thibs. It was like the day after exit interviews and players were obviously in a foul mood.

I would have thought otherwise had they not asked four(?) teams if they could interview their HC for the opening. It just made the decision look so much worse. Even if it was what should have been done, it was way too reactionary.

Draymond without Steph is so funny. Like a fish floundering around out of water.

[Mavrelous]

A FT Wedgie, never seen one before.

must be the magnets....

This warriors team without Steph is just brutal to watch

[mkot]

How does Green not get T'd up there I dunno

[CobraCommander]

Zion is always hurt - so just like normal- he is out and Kuminga is always playing worse than his skill set and someone with his physical gifts should be expected to play. The pels and GSW have decisions to make… easy ones

[ball_takes23]

Upset Alert

[Mk0]

Kuminga whining about not getting a whistle when he elbowed Williams in the face. Just get back on D dude. That cost your team a 3.

[mkot]

SGA wasn't looking to score, simply foul baiting and I hate it because that's not basketball He really doesn't need to

They’re giving OKC a better run for their money than I’ve seen since opening night… clearly they have something about them.

Exactly. Now imagine if Steph could actually be a point guard and set up his teammates...or at least not be a bottom 50 defender in the league. Then again, he couldn't do those things even when he was in his prime.

[doogie_hauser]

Call me petty but i don't want The Dubs to win simply because of Draymond the goose lol

[mkot]

Chet should get the ball every posession and punish the Warriors guards

[EmpireFalls]

Kerr absolutely owning this game

Masterclass from him. Even though OKC will win, this is a clear W to Kerr and Golden State. The Thunder are not quite operating at the highest level just yet. They’re predictable.
