No joke i thought that was Bone Crusher
 
A healthy Lamelo is going to have the league on notice. Really hope he locks in this year. All the tools, and def look stronger, game slowed down. He was putting up some crazy numbers in the few games he did in play last year:

 
Starting to lose faith in Cade. Its like its all there, buts its not.

Maybe he just needs to be on a winning team as a 3rd option or something.

And he's actually going to wear ankle braces this season.
 
Good convo about where the league is going and how it affects you Over/under dudes.



That part about “tricking the refs” in the mid 10s, and during that time where the benefit of the doubt was given to the offense instead of the defense is on point.

The trend about the league adopting more of a FIBA plus more physicality look going forward is interesting.

Almost forgot about the backlash after the ASG last year. Feel like that was an inflection point after all those crazy scoring games etc.
 
The trend about more Fiba based rules is interesting . NBA teams would need to change how players are trained and eating. Fiba guys are so much stronger and bigger but at the expense of quickness . Quite the opposite in the NBA
 
Huh?

He was at 23/8/4 last season. Had his best shooting season in spite of awful spacing and bad coaching. Not sure what else you need to see from him personally

And they somehow managed to get worse. Maybe I had way too high expectations for him, someone that makes everyone else better.

Idk if they winning more than 25 this year

Monty Williams was terrible. They were playing Ausar/stewart/duren together.

You can’t win that way in the modern NBA.

I'm loving his ability to catch and shoot from 3. It means that he can still be affective while Brandon Miller cooks.
I'm also loving that Josh Green is in that lineup.
Rookie Tidjane Salaun isn't afraid to let it fly.
I'm curious to see what Charles Lee can do as a coach.

Obviously the biggest factor here is the health of Mark Williams. I really hope he doesn't have the same injury history as Time Lord and Mitchell Robinson.

All in all, they're going to be a fun, competitive team to watch who will probably lose a lot of close games.
