    I know it's early, but he has a block, rebound and 2 assists in the first 55 seconds of the game. Maybe they knew something we didn't FAMS.

    Tbh, I've been losing more and more interest in the NBA for a few years now (even before Billups arrived). I'll watch the playoffs but I'm not AS enthused by it.

    Playoffs are stupid too. Pretty much the entire sport is a joke. Luckily we have the blazers and I only care about their success or not.

    Contract filler. His Utah career was bomb!

    There are a few hundred replies in that IG post that think otherwise. They were 2 games over 500 when they made the trade.
    They have tried various replacements for Brunson and none worked

    Reactive fans. 2 games over .500 is much better than 10 under.

    Yeah but the point is they went from the Conference finals to average at best. They make a strong case for Brunson being a big factor.

    Could be. Also could be trading their best wing defender and Dinwiddie who was playing great. Your guess is as good as mine.

    He's another losing player. No impact on wins whatsoever.

    Let's get winners next yr.

    I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure he joked about not knowing who Christian Wood was a few months back.
    So yes I was joking about the stat being about CW not NP

    Suns will be 4 no matter what

    But in their last regular season game,

    they can beat the clippers if they wanna play the warriors in the 1st round,

    Or they can let the clippers beat them if they wanna play the clippers in the 1st round

    Interesting stuff

    The only thing I can think of is that Cronin wanted to get part I of his deadline checklist wrapped up so he could do part II once the Jerami Grant part of the deal fell through. And you always get more value by waiting until the last minute.

    That trade is Cronins black mark.
