I thought Hinkie was working with Atlanta. It's amazing how well their rebuild is doing.

Dubs will find a way to milk Draymond’s injury too. Definitely going in the tank. I will be surprised if D’Angelo is still there at the deadline.

They’ll come back with Steph, Klay, Draymond, and another star next year.

Watched most of the nuggets / magic game. The Nuggets gave Fultz the TJ treatment when he didn’t have the ball. Still don’t miss him.

Could you imagine if Kyrie ruins the Nets during KD's rehab year and they are D.O.A. by the time they're at full strength?

Bulls will always underperform until someone cleans this sort of stuff up. Happens too often. Doesn’t really seem like Boylan is getting through to them.

Things could go from bad to worse in New York.

Are we sure James Dolan and LeBron James aren't the same person?

I feel like Fizdale got orders from management to make RJ look good to save face from their hilarious offseason.

We’ll know if they draft a center in the 2020 draft lottery

I watched the 1st half of the Bucks-Magic game the other day. The Magic had a 27-23 lead, then they replaced Augustine with Fultz. In a few minutes it was 41-29, Bucks. Offense had no chance. Next game, Fultz is named Starter. I feel bad for the coach being put in this position.

You mean pump up his counting numbers by playing him a lot? I could see that.

Mostly I just think Fizdale is coaching for his job and wants to play one of the few decent players he has enough to keep it.

Listened to the NBA shows this morning on satellite radio for 1 1/2 hours. 98% of the talk was about the Lakers and the Clippers. And how both teams were doing well. the 76ers have yet to lose a game and yet nothing. Well actually they did talk about the 76ers as it relates to Joel Embiid, Leonard and load management.

But I am not mad at the NBA talking heads not focusing on the 76ers. I want the 76ers to keep on improving and fly under the radar, if that is possible.

If an LA or NYC team is good, they will always dominate 95% of the National media’s discussion. That’s just the way it is. Not worth getting annoyed over.

Reading between the lines in the Chris Haynes article on Yahoo Sports today... IMO Jimmy either asked the Sixers to trade Simmons or to fire Brett as a precondition of re-signing. Or possibly both.

“Stuff just don’t work out." - Jimmy

yeah like losing game 7 to the later champ because of the luckiest bounce in a decade...

i think his main issue was, he wasnt the man on this roster. kind of the same problem he had in minny with towns. in miami, nobody is doubting hes the best player on the roster.

"Getting the last laugh"

What a dumb way to shape your article, Chris. Are the Heat going to win a playoff series? Are they going to be competitive in round 1? Are they even going to make the playoffs?

With how the East is shaping up there's a good chance that could make the playoffs and if they're a 3 or 4 seed win a series.

They just destroyed the rockets.

I'm not really interested in fast starts or regular season records. Projecting out to a playoff setting, the Heat look extremely weak, to me.

I think there are 4 teams in the Atlantic division, alone, that would beat them in a playoff series.
