..and miles to go before i sleep...

a total BEAT DOWN of a healthy boston team, while STILL missing melo and monk and hayward
this team would have had the 4 spot locked down hard if the injury bug hadn't got 'em, but they're gonna be a factor for years to come regardless
Find a team with more talent on rookie contracts than charlotte has. I'll wait.

and since we have their bird rights as well (like we do w most of our team), we should be able to match whatever the market bears on them

together if the do develop into stars

not too TOO worried about it tho
Mitch is a terrific GM - and at the end of the day, all decisions will revolve around Melo, he's the future of this team.
But by all accounts, this team has outstanding chemistry and they all love playing together. I could see melo and miles being a tandem for years and years to come.
the OKC example is def a cautionary tale, but i dont think Presti is half the GM that Mitch Kupchak is TBH

dont really need him w/ Melo, Scary Terry and Monk

>charlotte has. I'll wait.


There'd be a strong case for NO just off the strength of Zion
There's also Atlanta, Oklahoma City, and my favorite; Memphis

but i think we beat any of those teams pretty handily in a series with both teams at full strength

They have way better bigs and consistent shooting.

And the only reason why the Hornets beat Boston was because
Robert Williams didn’t play, so they had no athleticism or rim protection
in the paint. Tristan is trash.

Hornets are definitely a team to look out for in the future, but right now
they are just entertaining to watch.

That hardwood floor is hideous though. No way could I watch that every game.

CLT was out melo, hayward, and monk - so miss me with Timelord saving the day on this one. Shit, We havent had a functional center all season! lol

and i think you're wrong about atlanta and memphis - id love for us to get a chance to prove it against ATL this year

Give it time, homie. Give it time.

we're already ahead of schedule on this 'rebuild' so the whole fanbase is getting out in front of our skis a little bit. Its the first time we havent been a laughing stock of a team in a lot of years tho, so bear with us :)
we're getting ready to make some noise tho...

Rightfully so. Ain’t going to be tell y’all shit if y’all fock around
and make it to the eastern conference.

lol

Phoenix, Chi, Houston, Memphis, Denver, Phoenix, Clippers, Lakers, Spurs, Charlotte, Boston.

if the Knicks end up at the sixth spot, I'll be more than pleased. Anything to avoid that dreadful play-in scenario.

Doing a quick gleaning at that line-up, none of those playoff bound teams are likely to want to rest folks like teams did in prior years either, which hurts even more.

*activates the BillyOceanSignal*

Will he be overpaid? Yes.

Does that matter? No. Not while we’re capped with AD and Bron.

Pay the man.

But the fact is - you will NOT be able to replace his production. We have his bird rights and can go over the cap - but it's not as if we have another 25 mil to spend on another guard.

Mike Conley Jr 26 points 7 assists 9 rebounds with the go ahead 3 in the final seconds

D LO 27 poitns, 12 assists, 2 rebounds, and the game winning layup in the final seconds (off the BENCH)

TOSU = PG U

I remember when we used to churn out an occasional productive NBA player

*sigh* good ole days

Live by the 3 die by the 3.

Not once did they stop shooting 3s to go for a 2.

As great as Curry is, this new generation doesn’t know
how to just go to hole.

A prime time TV game at that.

I tweeted on draft night that he reminded me of Donovan Mitchell. Just how he moves and his ability to get to the basket. Anxious to see what a core of Shai, Dort and Baze...plus all those damn picks, can become.

.

used to be a staple of big men but recently became a rarity seems like a lot more guys are hitting that mark this year...

Giannis
Vucavic
Embiid
Jokic
Russ
KAT
Randall
(Sabonis at 19.9 & 11.6, Christian Wood at 21.1 & 9.8)

.

no oomph at all. he challenged that out of obligation to not look lazy. there was no actual intent to meet Hachimura at the summit

but he doesn’t have the legs, tonight.

.

.

shout to Coach Monty, too.

Meanwhile John Wall at a BBQ spot talking bout he the face of the franchise. SMH.

he will be a megastar.

Cleveland (lol)

The best defensive PG in the league.

And Houston finally closed the door on John Wall. Porter has the franchise keys
now.

Just gotta keep him on the straight and narrow.

.. When he was drafted. It's a shame things didn't work out but's better for KPJ the man to have a mentor in John Lucas active in his life.

Your people said that this put y’all over the hump.
Just like with Marc Gasol (LoL)

Y’all were going to destroy the paint, remember?

HAHAHAHa!!

Davis will be back in Chicago in a few years.

to get him to sign but his minutes will go down in the playoffs

Great rebounder, elite even... but a net negative player in today's NBA.

dunks at the rim in the short time he’s been a Laker, it’s almost like defect. Then after he blows an easy dunk or bunny he’ll come back and make a much more difficult shot look easy

in a vacuum this isn't awful but the fact that he almost exclusively takes shots within 5 ft of the rim and misses about half of them is pretty damning. he's a great rebounder though and doesn't really need to do much but rack up boards since there is so much scoring on LAL when they're at full strength. he's essentially just there to take up space at the 5 so AD can play the 4, like dwight did last year

most bigs that only shoot that close are usually closer to 60%

right at almost 10 years younger you'd think he'd be just as good as Dwight at this point but he's not. It will be interesting to see what the market is for him this off-season

And the Lakers with Lebron, AD, Dennis and Drummond got
murked!

This ain’t Ernest Goes to Camp ...this is the real season.
Summer camp was last year.

Lol

..Bron is back, shaking off the rust and ready to roll (even in a loss).

Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the roster adjusts and Vogel works to solidify the playoff rotation.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

It"s damn clear most of that roster hates playing for him. He's a good gm but trash coach evidenced by this team's disappointing season.

Lonzo walks if Svj is the head coach next season.
