Deuce!

 

[Air Pope]

Has Poole become the expensive backpack?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

lol at wash getting booed at the end of the first by their fans

Coulabily one of the only reasons to be happy

 

[Zainjal26]

Cash out or nah?

 

[don ramon]

the wizards announcers have been very complimentary toward the knicks today.
feels like stuff is changing

 

[651akathepaul]

I believe him.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Vin baker just danced with Giannis. I wasn’t prepared for this

 

[HOU$TON]

Rockets let’s get it. They can roll over and no one will care tonight lol. All eyes in the city on CJ Stroud right now.

 

[Nipsey3000]

The pistons get all the negative attention... But the fact that they lost 28 straight games and are only 3 games back of the wizards is remarkable.

I personally think the wizards are the worst team in basketball.

Imo

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Sengun got some bad voodoo tonight

Missed like 5 shots at the rim

 

[Mister Meaner]

The more I look at this club, the more I see a rotation w/o Achiihauha and hopefully bringing back Burks to be that go to guy for the bench mob.

OG cannot be trusted w/ the 2nd unit to produce as I feared. A 10 man rotation under Thibs was tried & failed hard so scratch that ideer.

Luckily the Wiz are on their own campaign for a different goal. Sweating bullets on this one atm tho.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This really his moms?… either way I’m deceased

 

[HOU$TON]

Cam about to force himself into the rotation

 

[Nipsey3000]

I have a feeling that the spurs don't care to be better, but if they did, they could really use tyus Jones

Cam about to force himself into the rotation

 

[antidope]

That's a horrible call

 

[HOU$TON]

LeBron said bronny could play for the Lakers right now, so I know they could use a Cam Whitmore

 

[B Sox]

Tatum absurd

Achiuwa is playing only backup center minutes when I-Hart sits, never in any other scenario so far. Thibs doesn’t like going small, so it’s really Achiuwa or Gibson for those backup C minutes.

Down to a 9-man rotation and new-look Knicks look great so far.

I’d upgrade with a backup big to replace Achiuwa, and potentially with backup PF (Randle) minutes. Trey Lyles type would fit

 

[nomadicsole21]

I haven't seen Lillard play this bad for some years. He's had a handful of great games this season, but also has a handful of awful ones including tonight.

 

[dacomeup]

They couldn’t/can’t blow it up tho

Good for them to provide this hope to folks like lawdog him and houston. They’re good peoples

They absolutely could’ve blown it up

 

[B Sox]

Cs not going out like Chicken Souvlaki and them against the Pacers. Love to see it.

 

[getback]

Celtics take out the reigning IST silver medalists and current player of the week

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They absolutely could’ve blown it up

Even if they could recoup some draft picks, a rebuild when opening a new arena seems tough

If they would’ve flopped with PG and Kawhi this year, next year would’ve been rough regardless. They’re already 2nd fiddle to the Lakers
