He has a higher ceiling than Trae the shrimp but I think Trae is still ahead in terms of reliability of performances night in/out
I hope to jinx him but I feel Lamelo is never far from a long term injury (more than Trae)
I hate LaMelo Ball but I'd take him over Trae.

I don't see a lot of ways for the Hawks to get wins. The injuries just make it worse.
they dont need alot of wins in the east.Especially with bucks,76ers and pacers looking not that much better.In the east
it looks like anybody can get in the playoffs this year.
True. Milwaukee and Philly look in free fall. Philly should patch it together, maybe.
Boston
Cleveland
New York
Indiana
Orlando
Chicago
Miami
And then...
Philadelphia/Milwaukee maybe
Charlotte/Atlanta
This may be the worst Eastern Conference we've ever seen.
I think the East shakes out like this.
Boston
Cleveland
New York
Philly
Milwaukee
Orlando
Indiana
Miami
Chicago
Charlotte
Atlanta
Brooklyn
Toronto
Washington
Detroit
I’m hoping Atlanta falls back into the bottom pack and I think Chicago and Charlotte can both be in the mix for a playin spot with the group of 5 above.
While Philly and Bucks look like dog atm I think they’ll get enough games from Embiid and PG to get into the top 6 and the Bucks will scrape in just because of Giannis and Middleton hopefully coming back.
Would be so good if Charlotte could sneak into the playoffs via playin and the Bulls fall outside the top 10 worst records.
Spurs could have two top 10 picks with their own and Atlanta (very likely imo) plus 2 picks in the 11-16 range with Charlotte and Chicago (unlikely though I think the Chicago puck is 50-50.
Rooting for this Pelicans team tonight has not been good for my health. Even the hawks commentators are like wtf are they doing?
Man is Zion still hurt?
NOP is missing Zion-Murray-Murphy.
damn....
McCollum and Herb out too.
Literally 5 of their 6 best guys are out only Ingram played.
Lucky break for the Hawks.
Jesus, I forgot about them. Yeah.
ATL has Celtics on a back to back and have them again next week.
They also have the Knicks this week and hopefully an above average Chicago Team.
Bulls vs Hawks will be a game thread on ST
need atl to lose today.Beating boston can give them confidence to play better.
30point lead for Boston, I think that we should be fine with that one. Hopefully, the other bad teams in the east start to win more games too. I feel that Detroit, Brooklyn and Charlotte could be better than Atlanta this year. Weirdly, the Pacers seem to be doing worse.
yup keep on a eye on the other other east teams as well.Hopefully charllote and bulls wins as well.Fck the east is so bad.
I feel that except for a couple of teams, the playfield has been leveled even in the West. You have Boston and OKC that are clearly above everybody else, then a couple of teams outperforming at the moment (Cleveland, Phoenix, Golden State) and a group of good to average teams (NYC, LA, Dallas, Miami) and then a huge group of average teams. Finally, even the teams that are supposed to be really bad are winning some games.
Lakers just lost to Detroit by 12, so their early start appears to be coming apart at the seams. They’re 4-4 after a 3-0 start. They were always fools gold. The league gave them a cupcake schedule to come out of the gate.
Trae Young left the game with a right rib sprain. Google says recovery time can take 3-6 weeks. Not sure if he’ll be out that long.
yep add them to the big group of average teams.
It was a mixed night for the Spurs 2025 draft picks. Atlanta lost, that's the good news. Piston, Nets, Pacers and Blazers won but Raptors, Hornets and Bulls lost.
The Bucks and Sixers should be able to get back to at least the play-in. I feel that the Raptors, Wizards and Hornets will be really bad and worse than the Hawks. In the West, if Wemby plays like that all year long, the Spurs could be in the bottom 4.
lol Hawks suck, but there are so many teams in the East that even suckier...Detroit, Washington, Charlotte, Toronto, 7ers, Bucks
Only 2 teams in the East with a winning record ugh
Bulls lost also
