Are you insane?? you don't think the 6ers can do better than Russ for Simmons? There is no way the 6ers would entertain that deal for a second

Sixers couldn't get Dame or Beal for Simmons and you think they could get Russ!?

Hell yah they could get Russ. lol wtf. Russ isn't on Dame or Beal level and doesn't carry the same value. Lakers would laugh and accept a Russ for Simmons swap. It's the Sixers that would hang up.

Yeah I'd think the Lakers would love that trade, at least if they weren't stupid they would. Simmons doesn't need the ball like Russ and is willing to do everything the star players typically don't want to focus on. He can't shoot either but at least he doesn't try to take over like Russ does and he's a huge + on D.

I've been watching AD for years but can someone explain to me why he's always on the ground or falling on the ground? Does he have bad balance, weak core, or doesn't have a strong lower body? AD has some muscle but as long as I've been watching him I wonder what gives?

Bulked up in his career as we’ve seen, though I really question his conditioning/work ethic. Fantastic player and often injury prone but man he gets gassed though (which leads to missed free throws).

First game of the season so to be expected but maybe there is some truth that he can’t carry the extra pounds long term.

Their first ever game together. I don't think you can draw too many conclusions.

Less Aldridge and Johnson. More Brown and Milsap.

Bucks are just younger and bigger. Portis didn’t even play jrue was out in 2nd half I hope not serious! I seen the difference in Giannis this preseason he’s just more fluid and confident with his shot including free throws. Nwora and Allen two great young shooters with Donte coming back a very deep team.

You guys keep saying "old" as if Claxton wasn't our starting Center lol. We also have Cam Johnson and Sharpe off the bench who we didn't even play. There is plenty of youth on this team.

It wasn't about being old. They had no idea how to play together. Thats on Nash but its also on Harden and KD.

Giannis does look better though.

harden/durant/harris = your core. no idea what you mean they need to learn how to play together
millsap/aldridge/blake = old/washed junky dudes. worse than our version last year of tucker
patty mills = old but not junk yet offensively. definitely total junk on defense tho.

all your young no name dudes i really dont even know who they are. nobody stands out. good luck there its not like we have a ton of guys either. maybe nwora. we'll see

Lol so 3 guys have played together before and youre acting like its so crazy that they don't have chemistry in 1 game

Plenty of great teams took a while to adjust. Its literally one game. I think you're overreacting.

Claxton is not old. Hes 22. Hilarious how youre calling Blake old when hes younger than Lopez. Literally your Center.

Millsap didn't even play. Aldridge is the only "old guy" who didn't play well.

Also you played rookies. So I don't really give a **** if you haven't heard of ours.

other than harden playing his way into game shape there is no upside or chemistry to work out. i know youre going to disagree because youre desperate for answers but really man you guys are really kind of what you are.

harden-durant elite pieces
harris- mills are the secondary guys who can have an impact
then a bunch of no names and washed up trash that best case could be a net positive a game here or there in a playoff series. like literally each and every piece is more likely to get played off the court into dnps then make a consistent impact

you guys are in a tough spot and you'll go as far as harden/durant can carry you offensively. there just arent alot of question marks here besides the kyrie situation. its a very simple read

Ok bro.

Draw sweeping conclusions from 1 out of 82 games. And act like you know how this team will play come June. Totally logical.

You are a prisoner of the moment.

Never get too high or too low off one game. While it can be encouraging (or discouraging) teams are far from finished products.

I get the D for Brooklyn being a concern but they did turn it on in the POs last year so the main concern there would be whether father time beats down the Nets bigs but we won't really know till the postseason

It's still going to be Nets/Bucks that decides the East. People need to chill (other Bucks fans included). Hell the Bucks lost game 1 last year
