The difference in attitude of Lowry this media day towards reporters compared to last year is going crazy. Remember the crazy over-reactions around these parts to him being pissy.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Man....Masai is such a boss. His voice, his calmness, his demeanour. Everything about the man just screams 'leader'.

Totally random but I feel like he would be an excellent crime lord lol (at least one portrayed in movies).

The most noteworthy thing out of that interview imo is Masai saying the East is wide open...and did not mention either Philly/Milwaukee as teams who he thought was above others.

Obviosuly, this is a good sign for the people who do not want to tank. Because it looks like Raps management clearly thinks they have a shot of possibly heading back to the Finals depending on how the season goes

Yeah, there really wasn't much there. Not that there usually is.

I cant fathom how anyone would want to tank at this point. In the last approx 15 years only 1 team has won a championship by outright "tanking" and they happened to have the #1 pick when a GOAT type player was going #1 AND that player happened to be from that area AND he had to come back after initially leaving to get it done. Warriors drafted exceptionally well and put themselves in a cap position to sign KD. Mavs built a roster. Miami absolutely crushed a very crucial FA class.

You cant run a terrible organization (key factor in teams that tank no one talks about) and then flip some sort of switch IF you land a franchise player to turn into an excellent organization (what we are now).

I don’t think Boston and Philly are going to be that good.

Horford was a huge part of what they do and he’s been replaced by Kanter. The complete opposite of Horford.

Philly has too many bigs. Embiid is best at the 5, Horford is best at the 5, Harris is best at the 4. Simmons can’t shoot and is probably better suited as a 4 than a 1 if he can’t get a jumper. There’s no playmaker for half-court action.

I wanted some to ask Masai how hard it was for him to stay patient this summer given that virtually every team that loses a big free agent makes a big move(almost always a bad one) shortly thereafter.
