Jordan looks like he's already played 40 minutes.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Westbrook + DeAndre Jordan has to be the least intimidating pick and roll I've ever seen

None yet. I'm probably still annoyed about Wiggins :lol: Maybe the starters as if fanboys don't see them much then they won't vote for them.

HAwks are the weirdest team in the league, they can look like 04 Pistons on defense in one game and the complete sieves in the other.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

Hawks are finally healthy. Particularly with the return of Hunter and Okongwu and Capela over his achilles/ankle injury.

Miami is tough. Their ball movement when they get going with 1-5 being capable playmakers is hard to guard. Defensively they seem like the only team that has game planned for the rag tag Clips lol. They seem to know all of their sets.
