    Maybe we should wait to see how they look with Booker and Beal

    Probably, but that center rotation sucks bro. We know this.

    True but they have multiple allstars to compensate for it. We did not.

    We'll just see what Booker can do when playing with someone who commands as much attention as KD and we'll also wait and see if Beal's still got it. If Beal can be a real threat on offense, Booker has his best season yet on both ends and KD is as good as he was last season, they're a real problem for everyone including Denver. They have a some effort guys and a bunch of guys who can make open threes off of the bench. We know who the guys they have playing the 5 are and they're not great but with everything else on that roster they might not have to be.

    I wonder how Nurk will respond to Durant lighting him up? It’s gonna happen. Dame never did lay into Nurk. Pretty sure Booker will also.

    Damn, let's hope when they say "small"..... it is true. Those heal on their own.

    So I just read Booker now has a new calf strain injury. Wondering if that is true?

    why did you put a Raptor that can't shoot outside 10 feet on your fantasy team?

    I think he means the opposite of what you think. Barnes is crushing shit this season. I'm guessing his opponent has Scottie, and is crushing him.

    Scottie is lighting it up right now so I'm assuming he's on the other guy's fantasy team.

    The Spurs were about to inbound the ball in the front court with the score tied and 1.2 seconds left in regulation.

    You would think (I would at least) this is the perfect situation to throw the ball in to Wembanyama, who can shoot from anywhere.

    I guess not. Instead, the Spurs Sochan threw a terrible cross-court pass that was intercepted by Toronto. (Amazingly, Scottie Barnes had the presence of mind to call a time-out while nearly still in the air after intercepting the pass. Toronto missed their shot at the end.)

    This reminds me of the situation where Lebron scrapped a game-ending plan and demanded the ball go to him. Over-thinking by the coach.

    The Spurs ended up losing the game in overtime after leading by 22 points.
