Wtf happened to the ENTIRE Eastern Conference outside of the top 3 seeds? Nobody other than the Bucks, Raps, and us is even over .500 in the last 10 games. The Heat and Pacers are in free fall.

Btw, random thought, but I watched Raptors vs Bucks a few days ago and what struck me the most was the defense the Bucks play- it's basically 5 second violations on every other defensive stand. I feel as if the NBA isn't calling this enough and should consider removing it. Now that I'm writing this I recall Nurse calling them out for it in last year's playoffs and he was spot on. Once you break down their front line, Lopez is literally in the paint non stop and Giannis sits at the edge or inside of it the whole time. They still are the clear cut favorites to win the title imo, but if we were to face them and Kemba is healthy, I feel we got a huge advantage there as he gonna cook Drew Bledsoe and Tatum will own MIddleton. It will be a matter of how much Theis, Smart, Kanter can do.

Wtf, are the Sixers cursed? I feel bad for their fans. Seems like they can never be healthy.

I can tell you we'd get called for it every time. And we do. I get so mad when I watch teams who defend us by doing this because our motions won't work. Refs never call it. I'm screaming at the screen that he's in the paint for like 10 seconds and not within arms reach of anyone. And it's 3 seconds FYI.

Well -

1. Miami was due for a regression. Their PPG differential and actual W-L were out of whack.
2. Philly is injured and their locker room is...questionable at best.
3. Indiana is trying to integrate Oladipo and having a lot of growing pains in doing so.

guess I'll go w/5+6?

5 & 1.

There are so many subtleties and finer points of the IT debate that just haven't been fully covered yet. I'm not sure everyone has called everyone else an idiot yet, nor questioned if they watch games, for instance. And that's just off the top of my head.

Damn! The Knicks are **** horrible. :lol:

I don’t even think half of their team belongs in the league.

Yea. My bad.

Even if it was a 5 second in the lane, they still should get called for it like 10 times a game.
