    Number 1 pick is going to the Mavs this year.

    I don't think they're going to be in the lottery unless AD gets hurt. The combo of Kyrie and AD is too good to be a lottery team.

    Please, you could give any injury to AD and everyone would believe it. Kryie has a fear of falling off the earth so just let him know that's happening and he'll be rattled.

    AD is having a great game fwiw . Like I said before, Flagg is going to UTA. SAS will get Bailey with the 3rd pick

    I liked Cam Whitmore in the 2023 draft and on offense he can be really good going to the hoop or hitting 3-pointers.

    But his defense can be comical / tragic at times. Here was one of those moments against tonight's opponent for the Blazers (Minnesota) on Thursday.

    Whitmore seems to like to leave his man to help unnecessarily, which is what he did here.

    He had no idea where his man, well-known 3-point shooter Naz Reid, was so in an attempt to to deflect the pass leapt in the air with a nice kung-fu move.

    Except Naz Reid had moved closer to the baseline and Cam was flying in the air nowhere near the pass.

    I apologize. You were right. AD already hurt. Mavs getting the first pick.

    There should be a thread for picking the top 4 picks which teams they go to. To see if someone can get all 4 right.

    The race for the Western Conference playoffs is fantastic. Watching the Mavs - Rockets game which is in Dallas.

    The Rockets are trying not to lose 6 games in a row.

    I think a Lakers/Mavs series in the playoffs would be high drama and I'd be there for it.
