76ers down 50 at the end of third. Pretty sure they will lose.

I like the Hornets a lot.

They have a very nice young core.

Melo-Kon-Miller-Moussa

They just need to replace Bridges.

they need to replace Melo, too. but Kon has been really impressive as a rook.

Yeah I'd trade Melo for other young pieces.
But mannnnn I'd absolutely love Moussa on this team.

Who to cheer for?

Orlando: if they lose it helps solidify a top 6 finish
Cavs: if they lose it helps the possibility of finishing higher....but easier to slip.out of top 6.

Suggs just drives me nuts with the constant complaining to the refs and over dramatizing everything.

This is off topic, I am not sure how do you post a YouTube short that would show in the thread to be viewed?

Seen a clip of Dillion Brooks talking about How demar failed the raptors in the playoffs. Thought it was interesting coming from an NBA player.

Crazy that I was assumed that Orlando was easily better than us.

They gotta shake things up.

They are in a bad spot. Banchero is a very flawed player, making max money. Franz and Suggs have bad contracts and they have no picks.

And to think...they and all the media thought Desmond Bane was the missing piece and gave up all the picks...lol.

And Paolo doesn't look like he got better from year to year.

But they tanked the right way!

A vastly superior team, if only we were like that.

This is why you can't blow your picks on mid-tier players. If Orlando had all those picks they gave up for Bane, I would give them a shot to land Giannis. Banchero is the type of centerpiece, flawed as he is, that the Bucks could sell to their fanbase.

They might need to tank again soon. Third time’s a charm.

Yup.

Trading 1 +filler for BI...do that all day. Trading 4 for Bane or 5 for Bridges is just lunacy.

Mobley out 1-3 weeks just as they are about to play a bunch of teams in the West and go one the West Coast trip.

Hornets have a +1.3 Point Differential with a 19-28 record. Basically the inverse of the Lakers who had a negative point differential despite the glossy record.
