So assuming we don’t qualify for the IST, we’ll be scheduled for 2 games in the 9-day stretch from 12/2-12/10. The only other East teams we’ve only got 3 scheduled games against are the Hawks, Bulls, Bucks, Magic, and Wizards. Magic and Bucks will likely both be in the knockout rounds.

So after the Boston game on 12/1 until 12/18, we’ve got 7 total games pretty much all against lottery teams.

Last night might’ve been the start of another streak!

We already have 2 super stars. It seems like when you get the 3rd one, the sum of the them does not equal adding up the individual players. With that said, that concept could be a Harden phenomena. I do not want mess with the chemistry and trade for a big name. We do not need a LaVine, he will take away shots from Maxey and Embiid. I say build the bench.

I want a back up point guard for a Christmas/Hanukkah present. Maxey is great but he could use a break occasionally

Honestly think I dislike the Bucks more than Boston this season. The way their stars’ mistakes get covered up by the whistle is just disturbing to watch. And somehow we’re the only team with the ‘foul grifter’ reputation while they remain a good guy team. Giannis stepped on a dude’s foot this game and went straight to the line for his 12 second free throw routine.
