Did Wiggins get that Max contract? I forgot.

yeah he did

[tonight...you]

yeah he did

Dios mio...

They're only a lottery team if they lose Butler or KAT, don't kid yourself. They have some decent pieces sitting on their bench that don't play enough, but can easily fill in should Dieng/Wiggins/Teague get hurt (again in Teague's case).

I considered major player like kat, butler, or Wiggins... I'll stand that but just to clarify...

They could lose Wiggins and actually get better tbh.

I read that article and there is more than just the bench players being unhappy. Reportedly KAT is also unhappy. He played last game 38 minutes and only took 6 shots. Article goes on to highlight how you need as a coach to keep your bigs engaged offensively and Thibs has neglected it. It's interesting. There is trouble.

Luke just took out Lopez for Randle. Brook look pissed

[raybies]

anyone else think Rockets lose tonight? I think they do.

Embiid air-balls a 2-foot shot, the lakers rebound and come down and Embiid blows a defensive assignment which allows Ingrim to hit a wide open game-winning 3. Naturally.

He was talking trash then Randle comes in and outplays him. I guess Luke made the clutch call late, by taking Lopez out.

[raybies]

and Houston is top 5 defensive team?

[raybies]

that was a t? lol

[raybies]

i have no idea how Houston is a top 5 defensive team. Defense in this league must be abysmal. They have given up countless open shots and it isn't even half yet.

So far so good my man. They're getting worse though due to the extreme Santa Anna Winds. Not enough man power to fight this many wildfires and guys are getting tired. Lots of firefighters from AZ, NV, and CO coming in to help though. Pretty wild.

Watched the Thunder-Nets game. Really think Donovan has lost the team. No one seems to listen to him, body language is terrible.

Not shocked. Where melo goes coaches get fired. Sad a bum like melo was considered a generational talent.

[BatManu20]

OKC are terrible. Melo is a cancer. PG will not re-sign with them. Book it.

[raybies]

wow

Blew a 16-pt lead to one of the worst teams in basketball.

Russell
Crabbe

I at the point of overrating them, but I like what they are doing very much
