I was under the impression Hortford sucks now, so does that mean the Sixers are better than the Celtics?

What the fuck was that harden, jacking up a stupid three like that cost us the game

Sorry, Celtics from 2 years ago, maybe 3. Either way, the team that's won as many playoff series as the Sixers in the same span

Sixers fans have been trusting the process for too long.

Eh, you know what, I'm gonna chalk it up to a bad matchup. Harden has had major difficulty shooting for both Pacers games, after being guarded by Paul George, and a similar phenomenon happened the last time we played them.
Thank god Harden for some reason seems to match-up better against Kawhi and the Spurs, it seems like the Spurs consistently lead to him going off for insane stat totals.

They're 2-0 now, and the previous game was a 19 pt blowout (although I guess it was after Harden's 50 pt game in philly)

Restarting the process is part of the process.
I never expect the Pacers to beat the best teams (GS, SA, Cle, & Hou). And Houston has been red hot of late.

So, how much money is Morey going to offer Bogut?

I want Casspi.
I also want Harrell to start getting more minutes again, I miss him and his motor. I wish he would develop a 3 pt shot, so he could get minutes at the 4.

We have room for both, right?

I want Luis Scola though. Just because I miss him tbh, he doesn't have to play a minute.

3rd worst record's shot at landing in the top 3 - 0.469
2nd worst record's shot at land in the top 3 - 0.558
Currently, the group helping screw the Lakers over - the Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, and the Sacramento Kings.
That's the 4th, 5th, currently 2nd (Suns and Lakers are fighting over that 2nd worst record right now), and the 11th (going to become worse) worst records.
It's all irrelevant to the first 2 numbers I brought up, but I'm more just thinking about the chances that one of the Sixers, Magic, or Kings, specifically are the ones to screw the Lakers over

I don't think the Lakers will need to worry about losing their pick unless they decide they don't care about tanking anymore and win 10 straight like the Heat did.

It'll be very obvious by the end of the season that Dario is the ROTY, assuming Embiid doesn't play.
He had a pretty significant adjustment period at the start of the season but has been going from strength to strength. Averaged 17/8/3 in Feb and 20/11/5.3 in his 3 games since they moved Ilyasova and he went back into the starting line up (including 21/7/7 against the Warriors today). The guy is a gamer too, his effort level and want to win is very evident when you watch him, he's such a fun guy to watch because of how hard he goes all game and now that he's getting more opportunities to be a play maker he's really coming into his own.

Jaylen should be ROTY and MVP.
Id love to see Saric try to out jump Jaylen. It's not even a debate, Jaylen is the better player by far. Plus, Darius wasn't even invited to the dunk contest...

Dunking is not part of the process.

Excuse me, those are Yogi's awards right there
I wonder what the all rookie team is
1st: Brogdon/LeVert/Brown/Saric/Embiid
2nd: Hield/(Jamal) Murray/Ingram/Chriss/Sabonis
Damn, that's a weak field right now. I think LeVert, Brown, Saric, Murray, Ingram, and Sabonis (wait, I listed almost every one) is some sort of project, although some of them, like LeVert, Brown, and Saric, are clearly way ahead.
I'm gonna be a little salty about Dekker getting disqualified over 6 minutes of playing time last season before his injury...

Probably going to happen.
Deron Williams even said in his pre-game introduction that he's been in contact with Bogut.

Hey excuse me for being optimistic. But if Love doesn't come back for some reason and Lebron plays exhausted because he's getting old there would be a chance for the Raptors with Lowry in it. Not a great chance, but a chance nonetheless.

Unless LeBronk turns into Paul Pierce sometime in the next 4 weeks he's going to run through the East like a freight train.

I mean the raptors and the Celtics should go for it but I don't see them overcoming LeCavs. Others should start working for the post LeBron future
Randolph Freelander

Pretty much.
LeBron healthy = Finals.
(Unhealthy LBJ does is, of course, a first round flame-out.)
I mean it's not really wishing, it's being realistic. He's playing a lot of minutes and there's a risk of him losing steam in the playoffs. Hope he doesn't, I'd love to see him win another.

Intuitively yes, statistically not really, it becomes even less probable with all the rest days and spacing between games during the playoffs/finals.

He might eventually blow out an Achilles or something like Kobe but LeBron is legit one of the most impressive athletes in the history of he world.

LeBron doesn't make sense as a human being. No one should be that big and fast, it's one or the other.

You can be big and fast. For example, Spaceball One reached ludicrous speed. Scientific fact.
