KAT hasn't been the same since his mom died several years ago Yeah, I've seen a lot of people say this. I personally as a fan really like this T-Wolves team; I think the pieces are there to really be great. But there's been more and more publicity later and unless they can be one of the top teams in the West by the deadline, I can't picture KAT not getting shipped off at this point. I don't want it to happen, but it's what I feel is pretty likely to happen. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard!

It'll go as far as the amount the players care. Exciting games where people are playing hard, is always fun TV.
Seems like most fans are on the 'who cares', in the middle, or just down right don't like it. Good games goes a long way. I'm personally excited, at the very least it's something new. --- https://m.twitch.tv/sorozone/profile ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't really think the NBA needs something new, at least not something totally disconnected from everything else.
also you kinda need good teams to win it, if bad teams are winning this thing because the good teams don't care, that'll damage its legitimacy more than anything else --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Clippers are gonna be so fun to watch
Also crazy to me that people arent looking at them like a superteam. I know the general (wrong) consensus is that Russ and Harden are washed and Kawhi and PG are never available, but its literally 2 MVPs, a 2x FMVP, and the Paul God. Like how do you beat that? Kawhi says he feels good and Im ready to get hurt again. And so is he. --- Esto es el fin, Grande Padre ... Copied to Clipboard!

Harden proved last year he can be a really effective player if he's willing to be more of a facilitator than the primary scorer, but we also saw last year that sometimes he can't help but revert into "have ball will shoot" mode at the wrong times.

Clippers have no depth now, Harden can play his heart out, but I don't think it matters.
Still taking the Nuggets, Suns, and Warriors over them, Clippers are definitely a top 4-5 team in the west now. The lack of depth is going to cost them like it did the Suns last year though. At least so far the Suns and KD have proved they can win, and win handily when the other stars are out. Which speaking of that Booker's MRI revealed an ankle sprain, and Beal has been practicing but still out with back issues. Guess I'll be waiting another week for them to actually play together. --- https://m.twitch.tv/sorozone/profile ... Copied to Clipboard!

harden is probably the second biggest playoff choker of all time at this point. i think he will put up good counting stats in the season and pull his houdini act in playoffs like always. luckily for him he has kawhi/pg/westbrook who tend to be more consistent in the playoffs. i think the nuggets/suns/bucks/celtics will be the real contenders but i think the celtics are scary good if they can stay healthy

It's an early sample size, but there's definitely some panic brewing in the Bucks community. And it's not even centered around the slow offensive start of Dame and Giannis, it's centered around our horrible defense so far. Adrian Griffin, a defensive coach, came to Milwaukee and completely overhauled our defense with his trademark "crash-in" defense, which, by the way, is very exploitable, and completely underutilizes our bigs Lopez and Giannis.
Lopez was a Defensive Player of the Year candidate last year and Giannis has won it in the past. One thing Milwaukee's former coach (Coach Bud) did was utilize those guys effectively on defense. Last night, Lopez and Giannis had just one defensive rebound each. Pathetic, really. Outside of our defensive woes, it turns out we found out who can stop the Dame-Giannis pick and roll. The Bucks can. By not using it. Dame looks like a guy still looking for his role on this team and his poor shooting and lack of shooting is likely a result of that. Giannis is also acting a bit more reckless than usual to start off the season. Thankfully, just a few games in, and maybe everything will mesh soon, but definitely some warning lights popping up. Good news is that Bucks are in full "win now" mode so if Griffin doesn't get it together, he'll be gone by season's end, or sooner. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. ...

Emeraldegg 11/02/23 3:34:10 PM #191: |
The bucks for years even under Bud have spent the regular season experimenting. We need to get like halfway through the season before real panic should be setting in
The bucks are a completely different team that still has the 2 best players on the court most nights. it will take some time to mesh, anyone panicking for real at this point should take a chill pill. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!

Leonhart4 11/02/23 3:36:12 PM #192: |
The Bucks knew they were sacrificing some defense in getting rid of Holiday and bringing in Dame. That's how things are going to be for them.

the bucks will be fine, or at least i will be shocked if they aren't. giannis is arguably the best player in the league and is at worst the second best player and unquestionably the best two way player. dame is too good to be consistently bad and even if he isn't prime dame, any team with giannis will be a force in the east.
i think the celtics are more talented overall but the bucks should be good enough to compete with anyone in a seven game series imo --- I am thinking about just walking into the river now that Megaupload is gone and condoms are in porn.-Fubonis ... Copied to Clipboard!

You are usually able to see who the actual contenders are about 1/4th through the season. So if any of the perceived best teams are still struggling 20-25 games in then yeah at that point I'd probably be concerned.
