All that tanking and the only thing you got was Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero.... yikes

Joke league. Someone is just going to injure a Wemby and pay 60k

Mosley coaching his last minute of NBA basketball

Nevermind I forgot they play again.

I hate this.

 

[Hyrup]

Orlando probably my most disappointing team this season. They are pathetic.

 

[BatManu20]

Just not a fan of Banchero's game. He's an inefficient chucker who plays no defense. And he's a black hole on offense.

Like I said . Banchero sucks. 7/22 tonight. 0/5 from 3. Yuck.

Oh, LOL. I didn't even notice that JE was out.

Their best player is Desmond Bane. You aren't gonna win a lot of games with that being the case.

 

[O_V]

Didn't Bane used to be a decent player.?

 

[100%Duncan]

Celtics vs Sixers is gonna be fun. If Embiid plays, Sixers can upset IMO.

 

[Rafa]

Orlando what a disappointment of a team… gave up 20 picks to get slapped around in the play-in

7/22, 0/5 from 3, 6 TOs, -16
About to start a 5 year, $240 million max extension

I saw something a while ago that it was better to draft a complete bust that you could cut bait on right away rather than a guy who shows just enough promise to string you along and force you to commit resources to building around him and giving him a huge long term contract. I used to think that was bs, but there is probably some validity to it

If you're such a poor evaluator of talent that you decide that PB is worthy of a fucking max contract, you deserve whatever you get.

Suns, Clippers or Warriors - Who gives the Thunder the hardest time?

Clippers probably, older and more experienced with the length to upset their offense

And Kawhi to bother Shai. He's not the defender he once was but he can still lock in, and he's got enough star power where maybe Thunderrefs give him a chance to actually defend.

I think the Suns is the only ream with enough firepower to take 1-2 games max.

Suns have no one as good as Curry and Kawhi but Warriors and Clippers are one man teams.

Curry the worst player on the court for GSW and I’m not talking about Seth

 

[Correct Crusader]

Already seen several defensive three seconds, Wemby has to be prepared for that

Glad I dont have to see Curry make every bullshit shot over Vic’s 20ft reach and average 40 against us in the 1st round tbh.

andddd he's going back to the locker room

Warriors just look cooked.

Honestly I want to play the warriors in the playoffs one last time before curry retires to avenge those losses in 2017 and 2018. Although spurs beat curry in 2013 but that was before his evolution that started in 2015.

 

[scott]

Warriors are gritty, gotta give em that

 

[bozhemoi]

Okay, Warriors make a run. Clippers not good without Kawhi.
