Jevon Carter has been balling out for the Bucks. Defensive menace and shooting great from 3 in Budenholzer’s system.

And he’s a fan favorite over there, they love him in Milwaukee.

Carter is always going to be able to find a spot on any roster in the NBA. The guy is a pro's pro. Stays ready even though he's not expecting minutes, plays like it's going to be his last game, very coachable and by all reports, is a great team mate. I'm super happy for him

Watched the end of that Jazz/Bucks game last night and man I gotta say….nobody should ever even remotely think that Mitchell is better than Booker.

A Jazz fan on their forum said “We would probably be the #2 seed if we just benched Mitchell for the last minute of every game”.

Seriously, the guy completely sold and lost the game single handedly.

Booker even on his terrible shooting days doesn’t show the horrible basketball IQ that Mitchell shows.

Kyrie with 41 in the first half. At 60 with a lot of time and a huge lead.

Curry ankle sprain, could be interesting if they dropped to our side of the bracket.

I wanna see Suns and Mavs in a 7 game series. I think it’d be fun.

Records aside, these two are the best teams in the league right now.

That Porzingis for Dinwiddie trade was god sent for Dallas.

The West is going to be extremely tough to get out of. Suns are fortunate they will likely have the 'easiest' of first round series against either Minny, LAC, LAL, or NOP.
GSW or Minny possibly facing Denver in round one.
Utah maybe facing Dallas. Just crazy that some of these big guns are gonna be knocked out in round 1.

Playing Luka will be entertaining. Barring any major injuries we should handle the Mavs as usual especially in a 2nd round. Luka will most likely go all-in in the first round as usual and is bound to have a not so great series later.

Best if the standings stay the same as of today, but there are still too many games left. In the East Brooklyn losing to the Mavs was good as the chance they face 1/2 seed increased. That series will be the most entertaining for the neutral fans.

After all those years of good injury luck, Warriors are finally getting theirs. Klay finally comes back after years and then Draymond goes out with injury. Draymond comes back and now Steph is injured.

Their big 3 may not play many games together. Their all old and injury prone now.

Years of good injury luck? Aren't you forgetting the 2019 playoffs, Curry missing most of 2019-20 and Klay missing the last two full seasons with consecutive major injuries?

Their 2019 title run was just about the most injury-plagued of any team in history. Per wikipedia:

The Warriors playoff run was riddled with injuries, with DeMarcus Cousins (quadricep tear in the First Round), Stephen Curry (dislocated finger in the Semi-finals), Kevin Durant (calf strain in the Semi-finals, ruptured achilles in the Finals), Andre Iguodala (calf strain in the Western Conference Finals), Klay Thompson (hamstring strain and a torn ACL in the Finals), and Kevon Looney (fractured collar bone in the Finals) all missing a combined total of 26 games.

Played 4 games in 2 seasons. Very curious what his FA market will look like.

Terrible luck for the guy. Mystery injuries with us and then can never stay healthy with the Pacers. I don't think he's going to be an MLE level guy, just too risky given how little he plays. I think it's more likely going to be a one year deal just to see if he can still play

Never had any qualms getting rid of this guy - maybe we got bad value, but the mystery injuries (and tweets) are too much for me.

Maybe the market was colder than we thought - its not like other teams didn't see what we were seeing.

Story was that Indiana didn't believe what we are doing, and never let JJ hang up, otherwise they knew he would get more from any team that he calls. It was well documented then, no need to try to paint it in a different picture.

And I'm not even against your general view, but in the age of the internet, there is really no place for revisionist history on a well documented matter.
