the headlines are endless.

Boston shows out vs Boston..Boston dominates vs Boston

Boston struggles vs Boston

Clyde would lose his mind trying to call the game :lol:

What about "Boston Sucks" chants at the Garden?

Or just walking by people on the streets talking about their hatred for Boston would just be awkward :lol:

Can't bear to spend another year followed by crushing disappointment.

Who is projected to be drafted 8-10?

FIBA U19 Full Game v. Lithuania.

Cunningham, Green, Suggs. Green looks like he has great potential on the defensive end and freakish athleticism. Suggs looks like an excellent on ball defender (wish I could've seen more of him handling the ball and running the team but Haliburton did most of that and was phenomenal looking like the PG version of Reggie Miller out there.. his motor never shuts off). Cunningham is the type of player that uses just enough energy to get the job done and have some in reserve just in case.. he's also a sneaky good defender with a great wide base. These kind of All-Star games aren't good to really see everything a player has though and I'm looking forward to watching OSU play if they play. No Johnson or Boston in this game though. I'm going to watch and post all of these U19 games during Thanksgiving break.

I'm already a step ahead... Suggs could be had in that range if the draft was today.

If Toppin Busts which I hope he doesn't we're going to regret not drafting Haliburton.

those 3 are great, tho I think Jalen Johnson is less of a fit now that we have Obi. he's 1 of my favorites tho. I think Williams is special and so is Love. Williams=PG13, Love=Lillard?

we need to root like hell that the mavs implode and miss the playoffs. our only hope is with another team’s lottery pick.

Scottie Lewis - SG, Florida 6'5" (6'10" wingspan)
* Big time two-way potential as an elite scorer & defender
* He is being slept on heavily due to low usage
* I project him to be a riser this upcoming NCAA season the way Ja Morant and Quickley made a leap as sophomores recently

I remember melo being really high on him last year

I saw him play vs my Huskies. He has potential, but he's very raw. Staying in school was definitely the right move for him

Speaking of, I've seen mocks having my guy Bouknight going in the late first. Think he could see a jump in his stock this year, started off last season up and down, but started the last 16 games of the season, putting up 16 a game on 45/33/87. Gonna be able to really show what he can do this year now that Vital's graduated

Watch on YouTube

Not really a playmaker and mediocre defender though, so that's what's gonna limit his ceiling.

Lewis didn't have a big statistical season but if you check his analytics he was still efficient for a freshman. I attribute it to coaching and team offensive philosophy that he didn't come storming out the gate. I expect big things from him this season tho and I have an eye on him for our Mavs pick.

I was looking at him last year at 27 and 38 until he went back to college. had a rough year but there's some potential there

44% FG / 36% 3P / 81% FT efficiency splits along with 1.2 spg and 1.2 bpg defensively leave me encouraged.

You don't think Obi & JJ would be absolutely nasty together if we surrounded them with shooters?

Like (just hypothetically) if we sent RJ to Phoenix when Booker demands a trade next summer, found a stretch 5 for Obi...like I suspect we'll eventually need to do if Mitch can't learn to shoot...and Frank's 3pt shooting jumped 4% again, over the course of this season, to get him to league average.
