    Everyone needs a day or so. What a ridiculous time to send Wade to GLeague.

    Dame/CJ/ET all look a step slower and Nurk is working very hard on both ends. I don't want an injury due to overuse. We can beat NY and Bulls without one or two of them. I think.

    Easy win my ass. You guys are starting to sound like the JinxSpeed guy. It’s this mentality that cracks me up about some on here.

    If it's looking like a 20-point or more game by the half, then I hope we start the third quarter with our rookies and bench. Don't risk injury to our starters with a pointless game.

    If we can I like to see our starters get below 30 minutes. But again it will how focus they are and if they can put the Knicks away by the 4th QT.

    I went with zero chance on the All-Star for Nurkic. But who knows? Even more so with how they pickem now?

    Agreed, I think it's a lot closer to 0 than 25. He needs to take a step up to match the Gobert/Jokic/KAT level (not even considering AD). He's middling around with the likes of Capela/Adams right now.

    A bit easier in the east with Embiid/Vucevic as the only potential candidates. (Horford and Drummond have taken steps back). Center position is definitely relevant again. Lotsa talent out there.

    Im still having a hard time wrapping my head around that Houston game. That was the best I think I have ever seen ET play and thats not meant as a dig.
    Just he played great defense on maybe the best offensive player in the league and on offense wasnt that bad either.

    I dont think you get “easy” wins in the NBA very often. I think they’ll win tonight but I think New York will make them work for it.

    0%??? Never in his career???

    The question was will he EVER make the AS team. You really think that’s less than 25%? He’s very young.
