Remember when we were "gassing" Greek Freak's potential and his ceiling was Nic Batum?

If they wait more than 20 games, it's their funeral. I get it, new stadium and you gotta sell tickets, but if they don't act could set them back another 5 years.

 

[addict4sneakers]

"My" Bucks are 4-2.

Lebron
KD
Kawhi

[HIM]

Lowkey mad the Spurs didn't put up a fight. Blake looked like he wanted put 40 on their heads.

Is it time to blow up the Spurs?

Most of the top 5 isn't that surprising. Clips, ATL, Charlotte were all elite on that end last season too so it makes sense. The thunder defending the way they have is very surprising, especially when you consider that they're playing at the fastest pace in the league too. I'm impressed. Their competition skews it a bit, but they've been awesome on that end.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Fun to look back and read people's thoughts back then.
...

And [emoji]128514[/emoji] at people thinking Clippers will ever past the Lakers as the team in LA....Not a chance.


Not very surprising that okc is a top defense team.
Roberson, Adams, Oladipo. They gave Gs fits in the playoffs . Okc reminds me of the Sixers that ai took to the finals. Russ is like ai on steroids Though.

 

[ismellshoes]

Clippers have been better now for a few years. It'll change in a few years tho. Funny how laker tickets are more expensive than clippers tho.

Being better record wise and actually being the team in LA are two different things, they'll never supplant the purple and gold.

 

[j rain]

Looks like Giannis might not need to develop a jumpshot. He's going to terrorize the league regardless.

steven adams is improving. he'd have to be a legit down low scorer. doesn't have to be pretty but he needs to be a presence.
if roberson can at least shoot a respectable pct...

Refs stay falling for the "neck snap"

they have made some really weird signings.

washed soft big men in pau gasol and david lee?

they should have just kept diaw
