LN7 come get your team

That can't be the real thing. Looks like a middle school home ec class project.

Why is there a Bull

Some dude from Chicago got his hands on all of these... probably from a Nike retail shipment he wasn't supposed to have, and leaked them.

Oh, they're real

God, can you imagine if Jokic had even 1% of the work ethic of a Lebron, Kobe, Delly, Dirk, Nash, etc?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ok Grandma

 

[Hewson]

Oh, they're real

But not spectacular.

Embiid has passed the "loveable goofball" territory and is fast approaching "Dwight Howard" territory.



The answer is no one, Joel. Because they were both better than you, already.

That made my day. In fact, Philly can't even claim to be in the same conversation since they, you know, haven't reached a Finals like the Bucks and Celtics.

Shit Miami is still in front of them and there's a case to be made for the Knicks.

Nice of his fellow clown teammate to show up today, though

 

[cobl04]

The Kings are also ahead of them.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Jim Butler needs an NBA championship

Did they move back to the East Coast?

 

[Hewson]

What has Philly done to improve this offseason? Oh yeah they started a rift between a washed up former all star who wants out and a stubborn GM who won't trade him cause he thinks he should get 2 all stars back in return.
Yeah, they are the ones to watch in the east. :rofl:

Is Cobbler driving to Rochester from Vegas for a game?

He may need a new team to get it. Heat seem to have plateaued while a couple of their rivals in the east have definitely improved. Obviously planned on landing Lillard since his agent told everyone that was the only team he'd go to, and that didn't happen. Only significant offseason change ended up being losing Vincent. How much can they expect out of Kyle Lowry and Kevin Love at this point?

But I do like the new 'do.

With the right Harden trade... one that fills out the roster, gets in tougher and younger, and allows Maxey to take on a bigger role would, conceivably, get them right back up there with Boston and Milwaukee.

But until Embiid can show he can finish off a series without melting in the moment, I can't take them seriously.

Looks like defense not the calling card of the Foster's Australian Basketball and Kangaroo Boxing League.
Wiz shooting 73% early in the 2nd.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Australia... they're not sending their best.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

To be fair to the Steve Irwin Memorial Basketball League, they are facing a known NBA juggernaut in... checks notes... the Washington Wizards.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The winner of last year's Paul Hogan Memorial MVP award has just checked in to a 40 point game... for the Wizards.

 

[Hewson]

145-82. Crikey indeed!
Someone should tell the prime ministah. Hey Andy!

And bottom 5 in defense/?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

100%

 

[cobl04]

I think what's going to be really exciting about this season is seeing the Kings go maybe 70-12. We saw last season that their offensive prowess is unmatched, and with the lessons they will have learned from having a competitive beast like Dellavedova on their team for a season, their D will be at the level this year.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Oh sure. I actually have them going 74-8 and breaking Golden State's record.

 

[cobl04]

Headache that's ridiculous. The Kings are really good, but that would be crazy. Come on.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

You're right my bad

 

[Hewson]

I know our kangaroo punch addled, Foster's drinking friend is trolling with his Kings prediction, but in all seriousness I see them regressing and being the 6 or 7 seed.
