    1. one game is different than a 15 game sample size or 14 or whatever it is.
    2. your personal beliefs don’t matter. Fortunately the games have been played, so we know who is better … as determined by “record”.
    3. The rockets? Ok, well they have a huge sample size of being a terrible team. So it’s not an apples to apples comparison. If the Rockets were a .750 win team, lost their best player, and won at a .850 win clip, then sure. They’d be classified as a great team still. But going from a .150 win percentage, and winning 7 straight doesn’t suddenly make them a great team since there was 55 other games where they were well below average.
    4. Exactly, Kawhi was very good and on a very good team. Dame has been very good and mostly on an average team, hence why the team sucks in games without him.
    5. You literally have no idea if that is true or not. Additionally, 14-15 games isn’t exactly a “small” sample size. It’s approximately 1/5th of the season.

    I’m not sure why this is controversial to you. Ja Morant is good. He’s also on a very good team as evidenced by the fact that they play well without him. Dame is good and plays on an average team, as evidenced by the fact that the team doesn’t play well without him.

    After getting down big early, Knicks seem to be handling the Nets pretty well. Kyrie just showed up to the game with 4 minutes left in the 2nd.

    Wow...KD getting his jump shot blocked by a face-up defender. Never seen that.

    Is it me or does it seem like EVERY Knicks at Nets game comes down to the wire?

    Luka Doncic is really really bad on defense.
    In my eyes, he has now gone from a franchise starter, to someone I don't think I'd want on my team.
    Horrible effort, a bad example for a "team leader"...
    I wanna say "the worst I've ever seen", but hyperbole is a thing.

    Jaylen Brown is one player that fits the Blazers and Dame

    That’s doubtful. Kings are going nowhere. Lakers suck but have one of the greatest players ever and are trying to win. Due to injuries/Covid/schedule, the Pels are cooked. Spurs might pull it off. I honestly believe we may get the 10 spot. No matter our roster, our schedule is sooo easy.

    Dallas is a contender this year and it’s because of Doncic. Ludicrous that you wouldn’t want him on our team. We would be odds on favorites with Dame/Hart/Luka/Nas/Nurk.
