Get them now before the market starts to upgrade their odds.

I bet my left nut Nurse wins it , just too good

as a non gambler i'd probably put 100 bucks on nurse winning COY at those odds. how exactly would i do that?

I always said on paper we look pretty deep. Dragic and Precious have disappointed but everyone else have been up to par or more.

as soon as yuta siakam and barnes are back there should be a much better distribution of minutes, nick knows with those guys out our go to guys need to play big minutes, because the bench overall has been very very bad.
but that wont last much longer.

Fred with a fantastic all around game - offence, defence, just everything. And with the exception of a couple of minutes in the 4th, I really like how he kept the ball moving all game. Great to see.

OG, Gary, and Svi providing the wing offence and defence, and Khem with solid minutes once again.

Yeah, we're so lucky to have Scottie, but also, how lucky is Scottie to get drafted to this team? Just a win-win situation all around.

Let's go!!!!

You do not "move the ball" when you're up with minutes left and there are no other ball-handlers on the floor.

That's basketball 101. OG is not good enough to handle the ball in that situation....and you certainly don't pass the ball around the perimeter in that scenario. That would be risking a turnover. The worst possible outcome. Also....you want to use as much clock as possible. Again....basketball 101.

With that lineup....there was no alternative to how Fred played those final minutes and the coaching staff will say the same thing. They could have easily told him to start 'moving the ball'....but that would go against all traditional basketball knowledge.

You're wrong about OG

so were a team that can field a 5 man unit full of 6'7-6'9 players, but literally no one on the team is taller than 6'9... so weird lmao...

can we get at least one 7 footer... get rid of dragic already...

btw, good win... og and fvv really been stepping up so gotta give props... that being said the final 5 minute offense is still trash... its been like this for years, does nick nurse work on this stuff or what? hopefully its better when siakam gets back, but when the going gets tough, they start doing the fvv dribble out the shotclock nonsense which doesnt work... need better execution down the stretch.

Christ I hope Fred keeps up the strong play. He started well last year too I recall and his play really took a noticeable drop. He was on an all star pace for a while last year too.
