    Minnesota and Denver were both picked above us by many experts. Those people are idiots.

    2020 Philly is gonna be really good. They will be the face the runs the place in the east, barring injury of course. They're set up perfect for the eventual LeBron decline in a couple years.

    Jamal Murray is shooting 2 of 19 from 3pt land this season. 4 games sure? Whatever. Dude was supposed to be a shooter.

    I don't know that they will be better than us but the TWolves will be fine. The last two games they were without Butler.

    NO way does Denver finish ahead of us though (or even within shouting distance of us imo).

    Former Blazer great Sean Marks has done a fantastic job as the Nets GM imo, he has turned a shit sandwich into a competitive team.

    Always liked him. It’s fun seeing players turn into good executives.

    So you're saying that 4 games isn't really a fair span to judge a team by?

    Simmons may end up better than Giannis

    NBA tv should become that during nights they don't air games.

    I think it's such bullshit that espn is airing Wizards/Lakers over Raptors/Warriors, thank good for NBA streams so I can actually watch the true marquee game of the night.

    PG13 fouled out with 6 minutes left in the game. So far he has not looked good in okc, he is super streaky though.
