Should probably get off Reddit for NBA discussion, it’s pretty terrible here. Real GM boards are much more intelligent.

OKC

I’d like to say Bucks but we’re starting Thanasis and Rolo lmao. Celtics, Clippers, Heat, Wolves & Suns I guess but Beal is injured.

Hes at the Ginobli stage where his minutes and games need to be micromanaged to extend his career. Ginobli was still pretty good just not All Star level good.

If we lose to the Heat by a few points we should still have a good shot at the wild card. We have the W against NY and good point differential vs the teams we’d be up against.

I’d try to get Smart. Memphis isn’t looking good, maybe they’d be willing to move him. He’d slot in so perfectly next to Dame.

9th in Ortg 10th in Drtg and an SRS of 4.86. They can contend with those numbers but you’d like to see SRS above 5 and the Ortg to improve. Still a lot less to worry about then the Bucks who are 21st Drtg and SRS of 3.84, you can’t win a chip with those numbers.

It’s entirely different. Highest paid players in the NFL are quarterbacks and none of them are even making a G league team.

I think the easiest way to look at is if a guy is good enough to play both he’s choosing the NBA everytime.

Not scared of the Celtics in a 7 game series, they aren’t as good as the hype. I am concerned about Middleton’s knee, Giannis low bbiq in high intensity games and the lack of minutes for AJJ. AJJ needs to be starting and getting reps with the starters. He’s our best option at the 2 against good teams.

Imagine hitting all your shots all night, Giannis sucking and barely winning this game. Celtics are fake as f, not worried at all in a 7 game series.

Khris knee is a serious problem. Beasley unplayable against Boston which we all knew but AG somehow doesnt. Marjon ain’t it. AJJ is our only bright spot and we need Caruso badly.

Suns have to be top 3 for him to get MVP. If Beal ever comes back that will take shots away. He’s also obviously not going to shoot 51% from 3 all year.

The Wizards are getting the #1 pick out of him, he’s already in the perfect spot.

Watch a Wizards game this year.

They had Jrue on Embiid this year. I bet they try it for a few possessions.

Curious if Jrue will guard Giannis.

At the beginning of the season I thought that if everything was working perfectly you’d see Dame finish around 25ppg but 8-9apg and very good efficiency. I think we’re starting to see that now. For Giannis I want to see blocks & steals career high and him making all defense first team because he shouldn’t need to work as hard on offense, especially when Khris starts playing 30 minutes.

Bucks - Marques and Lisa are top 10. Lisa and Novak are #30. The Heat guys are top 3.

Dame asking to play the whole 1st quarter has really helped him get in a rhythm. And Giannis has been letting Dame initiate the offense much more often the last few games which he needs and it’s really helping out ball movement. Giannis is still dominating even with having the ball less. I think we’ll continue to see all year how they just make the game easier for each other.

You have to appreciate that Griffin is willing to listen to his players and experiment. It’s the opposite of Buds rigid we only play this way and rotations are set period.

They shouldn’t be part of a b2b period.
