Celts look damn good, can only imagine what they'd have looked like with Hayward in the mix.
Lolz that was the best bad basketball I've ever seen. They must've gone 20 minutes where they just gave LeBron the ball and cleared the fuck out and there was nothing the Wizards could do.
I'm telling you they would have taken the East easily with him.

Way too early to say, but they may well take it without him.
With him, like you said, I think they could have run away with the east, especially considering the Cavs' struggles thus far.
Eh, I think the Wizards will make a move to improve their depth, and I can't rule out Cleveland even though they look terrible. But they have a chance.

I agree Cleveland will right the ship, but they may be too far behind by then. And as last year proved, LeBron isn't as concerned with home court, nor need he be. Cleveland could be the 4 seed and still would be the favorite to win the ECF if they are healthy come April.
Your Wiz, I'm not sold. Defense is their problem.

If Tatum and Brown keep developing as they are, the Cavs will be in trouble. Cavs' wing defense somehow is even worse than last year and those two will give them fits.
The starting lineup should be a better defensive team than what they've shown... not having Keef for this long has hurt. He finally came back last night but was clearly rusty.
Dare I say it... The Knicks might be a playoff team.

Maybe...the conference is terrible so even an average team is going to have a chance.
Their future looks better than it did a short while ago though. Was anyone expecting Porz to look like this?
Hardaway looking good too.
Even Kanter. Getting a 25 year old who's putting 14/10 on 64% from the field for an overpaid past-prime star who people thought they'd get nothing of value for is not so bad.
Too early to say if Ntilikina will pan out though.
However, even with these reasons for Knicks fans to hope, I have to think that being bad and getting a top 5 pick in what looks to be a good draft would be better for their future than squeaking into the playoffs.
It would appear that the Cavs need LeBron to have one of the 5 best games of his career every night in order to not suck.
It's only a matter of time before upper management (i.e. LeBron) has Lue fired.

Yeah a home loss to a 1-8 team, not so good.
Could be worse. Could be a home loss to a 1-10 team.
They waited for me to move to start trying again. Fuckers.
The best part, in my view (which is what led me to the Yankees comparison), is that you don't even need to care about results this year. The team is pretty fun and, as it turns out, has very nice pieces.

What are the very nice pieces other than Porzingis?

Frank is a fine prospect. He's the second youngest player in the league and is already one of the team's best defenders, and has (last I saw) the highest assist rate of any rookie.
Hernangomez isn't playing because the Knicks are trying to improve Kanter's and O'Quinn's trade value, but he was an excellent rookie just last year.
You're talking about the Knicks, so having three relatively exciting assets is better than what we have had since the stupid Melo trade.
It warms my heart to see OKC struggling to play as a team, while the players Melo left behind flourish, and the "junk" that Westbrook was "forced" to play with last year, like Oladipo, play lights out.

I'm guessing next time we see Kyrie he'll be sporting a Richard Hamilton style face mask.
And Aron Baynes will be buying him lunch after practice for a while.

How do you guard a 7'3" player with unlimited range?

Put Phil Jackson on him.
Hiyooo
Frank Ntilikina is my new favorite player.

Last night's Sixers-Lakers game is now my favorite regular season game in NBA history.

After all this time he finally got to high five his hero, T.J. McConnell.

He can't high five Embiid or Simmons, can't reach.
