Caught the 4th quarter of Clippers-Suns last night
I realize it doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things but a really solid game by the Suns, they really played hard
Shame about Ayton as he looked pretty good in the Kings game on Wednesday

The Suns seem much improved. Played Denver to a standstill for 48 minutes and they popped Clippers without Ayton. Strong

Their role players (Oubre, Saric, Rubio, Baynes) are a vast improvement over the guys they were trotting out in previous.

Better coach too.

Might be a sleeper for the 8th spot. Probably tough without Ayton but who knows?

Yea i kept expecting the Clippers to make a move and pull away but Suns kept them in check, it was impressive
Not sure about a 8th seed tho that's a bit ambitious

They are much more competitive and they have surrounded their young talent with solid vets and a better coach. They need Ayton though.

Oubre has been balling ever since he was traded.

Well I guess in all these sorts of playoff discussions the question would be which incumbent team do you feel would miss in order for them to get in ?

Golden State. Have a bet on it in fact.

And OKC. Don't really believe thats what (Make playoffs) they are trying to do. Those 2 for sure.

Think Dallas gets in. Thought N.O. prior to the Zion injury.

Sac. And S.A. can't be discounted either.

_________________

yes we do have a bet on that
Agree Dallas likely gets in

Nah my bet is with FF. Don't know where you come in.

I remember you mentioning something but it was never locked in.

Oh ok my bad
I thought we had a bet on whether the Warriors would make the playoffs or not
I mean they're 0-1 but I'll still do it if you want

What's the terms?

_________________

50, but I'll do 100 if you want
Simple, I bet the Warriors make the playoffs and you say no

Rose looking solid so far
He's what Fultz should aspire to be

Btw, FF told me to post more so this is what you get

I'll take the $50 bet.

_________________

Fultz is for real. Bookit!

Philly is also what Minnesota aspires to be.

Nice redirect
I probably agree
I'm not too excited about the Wolves
KAT has been pretty agressive in the first few games but we'll see if it lasts

FWIW i don't consider you to be a troll or a meatball.

I actually would like to see them do well. Particularly now that they have rid themselves of guys that ruined the franchise.

Towns is playing better under Saunders. Just don't think they have enough around him to make the playoffs. Sad to see what Thibs has done to that up and coming Squad.


As far as Fultz goes i expect him to be starting before the season is out.

Already stealing minutes from D.J. and in order for them to take the next step they need for him to be good.

He has looked good thus far and has shown a little of why he was a consensus No. 1 overall pick.

He may overtake DJ Augustin

In August Trae Young was outplayed and beat out for a spot by Derrick White.

We might want to pump the breaks on that HoF speech.

He has had 2 games against backup point guards.

Monty Williams is an easy coach to root for. Sarver made a great choice for once.

Ayton is a monster. This is going to be a breakout year for him. Hopefully the players association can reduce the 25 game suspension.

Things getting a bit testy in the ATL

Phoenix loves Jevon Carter.

really tough loss for the Hawks last night. Hopefully it builds character

Kyrie has mood swings

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Dallas looks better than expected. Giving Denver a game tonight.

KAT got his ass whooped on the floor tonight. Ben simmons literally made him tap out
