    It could be the next GPII. We should overpay whoever it is next summer.

    Forget all the escalation debate, I want to know if Poole got back up from that?!

    I’m thinking it’s somebody who works at the actual practice facility and has access to cameras. Total guess.

    I was wondering if maybe it was a friend/family member of a player.

    That's the first thing I thought: whoa, they sure downplayed that. Draymond buckled his knees. I, for one, would never forget that, and I'm guessing Poole, especially now that the clip is out, feels the same way. Trouble in paradise!

    Fights on teams happen. The only thing that made this one bad was that Draymond connected with a solid shot to the jaw and he's bigger than Poole. He'll be disciplined (probably a fine) but he won't miss any games. I don't think I've ever punched anyone on the court, but I've definitely given out some chicken wings.

    not that he played much, but sharpe is the only top 7 pick that hasnt played well against nba teams

    banchero, jabari smith jr, keegan, ivey, mathurin, they all showed something, but they all played at college too, which is possibly what makes the difference

    and their teams suck, so they can play right away, were gonna be fighting for the playoffs, which makes it much harder for sharpe to get playing time

    i would really like to see sharpe get 20+ min and 10+ shots in the next two games, to see how he does with more freedom

    A team I see regressing this year is the Mavs. I think Doncic is amazing. Phenomenal player. They just rode hot shooting into the playoffs and I think it’s highly unlikely they match that this year.

    Especially with Brunson leaving. Sure he got overpaid, but he was a big part of Dallas' success last year.

    True. That team is really redundant roster wise.

    im not sure what to expect from the mavs

    they lost brunson, but they added wood, hardaway jr is back healthy, dinwiddies role will be interesting to see and luka is still luka

    they brought tyler dorsey from europe, he just had great eurobasket, well see how he does in the nba

    the first couple of years I was married to my current wife, she actually thought giving me the silent treatment was punishing me.

    Yep, and you solved it, as he would totally say it in a weirdly cryptic Instagram post.
