    Can’t believe we traded CJ for a bunch of scrubs. You still have time Cronin to get this right.

    My favorite part of this entire thing is we have an 8 year sample of CJ, we know his game in and out, and people STILL overreact to one half of one game of his.

    At least pretend.

    Has it really been 64 years since the Hawks won a championship? Wow?

    Josh Hart is not a scrub.
    Neither is Anferenee Simons, who will benefit the most from these trades.

    Grizzles/Twolves series is looking like it will be epic one

    I find the idea that we somehow acquired Ant when we already had him on the roster so fucking tired. Dame was already injured so he would have gotten all the playing time he did without the trades, we would have seen all of the growth in his game. So let's not play around with that anymore. We got Josh Hart and a 2025 Bucks first rounder that is top 4 protected and cap space that is only going to be used to save our ownership group worth tens of billions money and not acquire new players for CJ and Larry. If you like that return, you're quite the company man (that's not a reference to you working around the team just saying that you'd be a fan that tows the line and blindly supports the team even when they're fucking up).

    I think it will make Anthony Edwards blow up in the media because with how much they've been heaping praise on Ja, as Edwards outplays him, he'll steal all of that shine even if his team doesn't advance to the next round.

    Minny is proving what chemistry and confidence can do to a team.
    At this level, all the players can play, (really) so it is often gonna be the intangibles that make the difference within a squad.
    The Grizz have been my team all year, but the Wolves are high-ridin' right now.
    Kinda cool to see.

    Do not use the "Dame was injured" line to claim Anferenee's ascension was a foregone conclusion, with McCollum on the team.
    That's where you are wrong.
    Also, allow me to squash the "company man" "tow the line" stuff.
    If you know, I have been off of this forum and rooting for the Blazers since Dame dropped 55 in that Denver playoff game, and they lost.
    I was done.
    An stayed "done" even with my job.
    It was when I saw those four games of Chauncey Ball prior to the AS game that brought me back.
    I am a fan, but not a blind homer fan. I get pissed off too.
