    Whenever the Bucks play it's just Giannis with four other nameless dudes.

    Can we just give Antetokounmpo the MVP now?
    Mins: 25
    points: 32 (on 13/17 shooting)
    Assists: 10
    Rebounds: 12
    plus 3 steals and a block


    Maybe he was recruiting Jimmy Butler?

    Considering his trajectory last year, awarding him early might be the only way he gets it this year.

    Aren't you the same guy that said the warriors are gonna burn out and only get 47 wins? Now you got the Spurs winning 60?

    They’ll be fine. White is a good player and Walker will be back. Demarr is a massive upgrade, considering Kawhi barely played. Are they gonna win 60? No.

    Thanks! There was always be people who criticize I gotta realize that because hearing that kinda hurt... Not because I was lumped in with Blazers Outsiders.. I don't think I'm any better than any of those guys. But because it's as if I don't put a lot of thought into what I say haha.

    Gotta get used to people who don't know me criticizing me. Funnily enough, this forum has kinda prepared me for that! :D

    Another way to look at it: those guys are doing the halftime commentary for Blazer broadcasting and have their own show. So, it's could be seen as a compliment. You're obviously doing something right. I watch your videos and enjoy them...







    ...with the sound off.

    They have gone from a team that was very deep at PG to one that is very shallow at that position. Dejounte Murray, who as 2nd team all defense is out for the season. Tony Parker is gone. Derrick White is out 6 - 8 weeks.

    In addition to Kawhi, they also lost Manu, Danny Green and Kyle Anderson. They relied a lot on their depth, and a career year from Aldridge, last season to get by without Kawhi. This year they have less (proven) depth and I don't see Aldridge playing as well this year as he did last. Obviously, the addition of DeRozan helps, but the loss of Murray is significant.

    No way do they come close to 60 wins. In the West it's going to be very difficult from anyone outside of GSW and HOU to win 50. I again see SAS in that glut of teams in the 46 - 49 win range.

    Can we add Noah as a personal coach for Zach Collins?

    Pops isn't the type to wear his team out during the regular season, so low 50s is more probable.

    Wait - Murray is out for the season? How did I miss that? That hurts more than losing Parker, who was clearly on his last legs.
