Bengals/Rams is such an anticlimactic SB match up. But I'll be happy to watch Joe Burrow snatch up his first ring. He's the only QB in recent times that reminds me of Tom Brady.

Joe Ingles tore his ACL last night. And Utah has been tumbling lately with lots of key injuries. They can't win without Gobert and Mitchell is out too.

Sorry for Ingles. I saw that, too.
Looked really bad. Wonder if he's young enough to com back from that.

Injuries suck so much. He wasn't the fastest guy to begin with and he had already lost a step this year. Add wathever fraction of lateral quickness he'll lose from the injury plus the year of rehab where he's not getting any younger and he's probably done in the NBA. Hope I'm wrong or that he at least can get a contract back home in Australia but I just can't see anybody rushing to give a contract to a role player who's going to be 35 years old before he can play again and that will spend most of the season rehabbing a torn ACL.

I think what’s even crazier is the team still had a -2.9 net rating when Tatum sat. That’s almost hard to believe, with how much everyone has crazy high net ratings.

Was also just +0.9 when Smart sat as well, insane.

Personally, i think Harden and Embiid would fit like a glove. Harden doesn't fit in Brooklyn with Kyrie and KD. He would go back to Houston MVP Harden with Embiid. Just surround them with shooters and defensive wings boom.

LOL, not a single Celtics on the rising stars roster, not even a credible snub.

LOL on Thibs and the Knicks.. they traded their first rder (I think with no protections on it) for Cam Reddish and they don't even play him. And they are losing and struggling to score.

NYK's management and Thibs are on 2 different pages.

Babcock Carter trade was a pretty bad gm time period.

Perhaps second on the list.

Well if you go off a single move there are some things like passing on MJ for Bowie or even the Boston / Brooklyn trade that are comparable. And for as bad as that has gone Philly has still been in the top half of the conference since those moves. And Butler leaving wasn't entirely Philly's decision ..... still that is a hard list to top. I spent about 10 minutes trying to come up with something and I got nothing.
