    If if if... when the series is over will I still be hearing ifs?

    That your arguing how the Pistons will do in the playoffs proves my point more than any further reply I could come up with. Thanks!

    Do you think Simon's gonna turn the corner? I think Zach will reach his ceiling soon. He is thought of as a solid player.

    The easiest thing in the world to do is look back at who Neil should have picked.

    Remove "should" from your lexicon. My sponsor told me that.

    Which is why we should draft Tyrell Terry.

    This would only happen if the Magic were tired of his injuries:

    Marcus Morris definitely the MVP for the Clips in game 1

    I felt OK about it; but I expect Olshey to know more than me! Didn't Zach shoot threes pretty darn well. just looked it up, yeh .476 is pretty damn good but that was only on half an attempt a game. So Olshey took a chance on a really small sample. And I know you don't like small samples. :)

    Oh no, just a hope of mine that I think makes sense. The games don't look any different and if news outlets want stills then they should be able to get small automated camera's put in that would be no hindrance to the players. No point to risk player safety for literally no reason or maybe giving up some inconsequential angle or a fraction of the quality of image.

    Yeah let's trade for someone with a bad knee. That has always worked out well for the Blazers

    I guess you forgot from last time what she looked like; I hope you kept the lights out.

    Well he didn't shoot threes as well as Zach Collins but he shot 10 times as often so his stats might carry over better. :) Decent size for a point guard. Oh wait, I just noticed they gave as his NBA comparison CJ McCollum. Forget that! :)

    Although why would they compare him to CJ and then say this: "His passing ability is also very impressive as he shows innate vision and creativity … Makes his teammates better " Isn't that the anti-CJ?

    Mike Conley has returned to the bubble after the birth of his child.
    Gordon Hayward out a month with ankle sprain last night.

    Is Jonathan Isaac really that good? I guess I haven't played attention to the Magic that much too know. Or should I say, Is he that much better than Collins?
