    I am guessing that fans from almost every team in the league must be freaking out so far over their team.
    Talk about parity, never more so than this year so far. It's the weird blowouts that are surprising me.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    And this is all while Oubre is experiencing an even more disappointing start than Covington.

    If the new Warriors figure out the system and merge well with Curry and Green, the Warriors will be pretty good.

    Tatum out 10 - 14 days in quarantine due to “health and safety protocols”.

    Things are getting real. Time to bubble up?

    See Philly. They are dressing Mike Scott, but he’s hurt just so they can have 8 bodies. Only will have 7 that can play.

    And They are basically making up injuries to Embid and Simmons so they don’t have to play. I bet they get in trouble.

    Leave it to Doc to pull shady shit. Everyone knew the rules prior to the start of the season.

    Not so sure about that? This team is deeper than before. Two weeks is 6-7 games. With CJ running the team they can still go 3-3 or 4-3. That would not end the season for any team. Even 3-4 would not be the end of the season. Guess it also depends on when it happens.

    I must be out of the loop? Why are they sitting them out? Why are they making up injuries?

    Yeah, Doc's crocodile tears here are ridiculous. The Sixers should be playing with their two all-stars and a total of 9 players - which is a reasonable rotation.

    So that Curry dagger over Paul George last night was not as impressive (due to not being as deep) as Lillard's Long Goodbye, but I was thinking that poor George must be getting tired of being beaten by guys taking "bad shots."
