Yeah, even worse case this is going to be a huge jump for us. Given how weak the East looked to start the season and how good the ATL offseason moves looked on paper, this will be great regardless of where it falls. Vegas had ATL tied with Det to finish 4th in the East.

Yeah, that's what I was implying noting they basically need to lose all 11 of those games, which was super unlikely. Atl now has the 8th hardest remaining SOS, but still looks like a coin flip at best 76ers finish 8th given all their missing guys. Almost certain Por and GSW finish with worse...

Super super light stretch for sure and now have the 13th hardest remaining SOS including Orl 2x, Hou, GSW, Det, Box 2x, NYK, Cle 2x, Mia, that's 11 of their remaining 16. But it may be too late. We almost need them to lose every one of those damn games, because they're now 4 above 500. Going...

Also, Barnes, Champ and CB are more tweeners than natural bigs, none can really bang. Shit even Wemby is more a KD style tweener, height but not mass. Having a few people that can actually bang downlow is not a bad thing. Right now that's really just Korn and KJ. Having a Yaxel type makes...

They will definitely have to start shedding pieces, but they keep making moves to cover those loses. Gametheory made the point that Dort + Joe make $29.5M, Hartenstein makes 28.5M. Picking up AJ and McCain for spare change makes it really easy to let those getting expensive guards go and keep...

Lose/lose tonight with the Hornet at Portland. Gotta root for the Blazers, as Hornets record won't matter if they make the POs over the Hawks. Really need the 76ers (and Warrior for that matter) to get their shit together. Go Mavs!

Yeah, I'm retarded. That's how they got Mathurin. Brain-fart.

Hadn't thought of that. Yeah, would rather the Lakers than Clipper or Suns. With Kawhi playing at this level, that Clips teams is legit scary. They've got real pieces, enough to win a round. Could definitely see them beating the Rox or Lakers, maybe the Wolves, if given the chance.

IMO anyone we face will be "scary", unless Portland goes crazy somehow manages to get #7. I would be most scared of a Kawhi playing like a top5 dude, backed up by Zu + Collins and a Garland and Mathurin with lots to prove. If healthy, that's easily the scariest of the bunch to me. Kawhi can get...

Totally agree. Just wanted to point out Jordan exited the playoffs in the 1st-rd his first 3 trips, took 5x to get to the conference finals, and 7x to get his first finals/championship. This team is soooo far ahead of schedule but even with that, an early exit shouldn't surprise anyone. Our...

two games with Giannis back, 2 blow-out loses. Meanwhile ATL wins 5 straight, dammit Oh well, this seals ATL for the play-in, but I still think its very unlikely they win 2 to get to the playoffs, but that 14th pick is looking pretty damn likely, 2 weeks ago the 11th looked prime.

Pretty lazy analysis of his career. He was unquestionably a competent backup PG is entire career coming into this season. Unquestionably. He played 4 years with Minny, Memphis threw him a 3yr/$24M, a shitty Minny team with multiple PGs had no reason to match. He played well, Memphis was...

Pretty sure that's what TMac was, played internationally that yr, signed with the Spurs for the POs at the end of the foreign team's season.

Washed or not, he's is unquestionably a better use of the 15th spot than BB now that we have Plumlee. BB is unquestionably washed and even if he wasn't we don't need a 5th Center. We need someone with some potential to hit a 3, Middleton's a career .385% shooter, he'd be the best career shooter...

AJ's not in the same class as the others. Bowen was absolutely a defensive force, 8x straight All-D teams, 5 straight top-5 DPOY and was one of the top 3pt shooters in the NBA from '03 when he lead the league to retirement, being a very important piece to 3x championships. Many many many teams...
