If the bench of Houston is that consistent then the Rockets can HOPE beating the Spurs.

Speaking of SAS, i really would like to see them Kawhi- less for 10 , 15 games. If win 70 % of it i only see the Warriors matching with them. They are as deep as the Cavs.

When it comes to GSW, no Draymond is tantamount to no win?

The Cavs hopes to win the finals rely imo on :

- Thon Maker not improving. Even if Gianis is getting terrific, the Bucks dont have a big three, not do they have a competitive bench.

- Derrick Rose , D wade, Jr, Green, IT : IF THESE THREE ALL STAR BALL OUT it will be too much for the Warriors, especially the second quarter.

- GSW may get out the reinforced West again, BUT SORED AND DRAINED. The run and gun, with a suffocating defense style will take their legs eventually in June. Imo the pace is too high for a whole season. And the competition got tougher. Will the injury Gods favor them again?

You doing too much it's the first week

OKC looked better than I expected.

They didnt look good, but they showed flashes.

Hard to really judge them until they a better team, if they can keep this up where all three stars score 22+ and westbrook gets his triple doubles, their personalities wont clash.

I like that cat Murray from the spurs

Best plays from last night:

Don't ever put the lakers, knicks, and Bulls on as the only games again, last night was horrible

 

[AZTG]

Tim Hardaways statline from last night was 8 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 2 turnovers, 3/10 shooting.

Its one game and he will bounce back, but damm that migbt be the WOAT statline

Think he was referring to Rose, wade, and IT as being the three

BUT I do think Tim hardaway will be fine. He'll average 16-18 ppg but outside him and porzingis idk who is putting points up

Nobody. The Knicks arent supposed to be a good team this year. They are supposed to develop the core of KP, Hernangomez, Frank, and Hardaway together, hope Hornacek shows that he can be a good coach, and get another lottery pick.

The issue with last night is none of that happened. For some reason Hernangomez didnt play until garbage time, and Frank only played a few minutes before garbage time.

I know what the thinking is, their thinking is to play experienced players like Kanter and Oquinn more and try to sneak in the playoffs in a weak east.

As soon as we all thought the Knicks were finally embracing the rebuild, they showing that they not.

Let the young core fight to get us in the playoffs, and if they dont, which chances are they wont, atleast they get valuable experience.

Frank is the best defender at the guard position for us already just based off size and athleticism. You can tell he has trouble knowing where to be and gets lost on defense quickly, but thats why they should play him a lot and in 20-30 games when he starts adjusting to the speed of the NBA, he will be the best point guard on the Knicks, not cause hes that good, but cause Knicks guards are fucking garbage.

And also, get Ron Baker the fuck off my team man, he shouldnt even be a towel boy on this team.

Hardaway was perfect for the hawks cuz they emphasizs ball movement.

Imagine him on the spurs replacing danny green.

Every time I watch the lakers randle crashing into players getting charges he has to average at least 2 offensive fouls a game.

[HustleThaDon]

Blake looked good. Iono how consistent he's gonna be knocking down that 3 but clearly he worked on that broke ass jumper he had.

Come back to htown pat....

No he's saying the Cavs have a shot if he doesn't improve as one of the reasons

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

One of my biggest takeaways was how passive and unaggressive Lonzo was....he really let Beverly bully and rough him up without even attempting to stand up for himself.. ur attitude and demeanor also carries a lot
