Hope Landale likes his 8 mill this year as Rockets aint giving him another cent after June 2024.

Was a stupid contract to sign I thought from day one. Should have taken 3/18 elsewhere
Giddey, Landale and Green... Been a rough start to the year for the Aussies

That may be true, but Exum Island is off its t***ies.
 
Yeah i didn't believe it at first. It is a complete reversal of last year, the bench is cooking but the starting 5 has been dreadful. One of the most surprising stats i have seen in a while. The finally get done with the size of Cavs and now have to deal with the Wolves as well.

Yeah its a weird one really. They seem to have alot of players getting those 10-15 pts a game. The fact one of them is Klay should be ringing alarm bells.

I think Andrew Wiggins needs alot more ball on offense myself. He can still score. They also need to get Moody more touches if Klay cant go anymore

Wiggins has been absolutely awful, like catastrophically bad.

Dunno what happened to him earlier in the year that caused him to miss a chunk of the season for personal reasons, but he looks like he's just going through the motions.

I still think GSW decision to draft Wiseman over Ball doesnt get enough hate. It could be the most damaging and worse draft decision in the last 10 years that. Ball on this team would be different gravy

Could have taken Franz Wagner over Kuminga too. He would have fit their team so well.
 
Holy sheettt Rockets!

We've been good for sure but haven't won away from home yet and all our wins against top teams they've been missing at least one key guy. Still would have lost them all last year.

Leadership addition has been huge and Brooks has been better than could be imagined so far from offensively, defensively and leadership. FVV been up and down but the key is he's been big and clutch when needed. Then there's the gigantic upgrade at coach, lineups being chosen on merit and game situation and not their draft position.

Yeah he just looks slow and disinterested. Maybe activating him again on offense will raise his game.

Yeah was thinkng Wagner over Kuminga been a bad move cos Kuminga/Green cant run together and Kuminga actuall is just stock standard

It's been a refreshing change to move away from the isolation basketball on offense.

Agree

This was an issue with Harden re playmakers, who to prioritise in clutch moments etc.

Though Nurse/Leonard connection can’t be denied.

LaMelo Ball on this current Sixers roster and Nurse coaching would be so fun to watch and difficult to beat/match up on.
 
Lakers 23 FTs to Portlands 8. Someone call for an investigation

That's 52 affirmatives from the last 57 games played for those playing at home. Totally cool and normal.
 
37-9 free throws and the lakers have the audacity to complain about the whistle to the league? Lmfao

85 % of current Lakers fans are Former Heat/Cavs/LeBron Bandwagon jumpers..

The real 'Lakers' fans acknowledge they have been refs pets ever since Dave Stern was commissioner.
 
I'll give him a bit more time given his injuries and a new team but yeah has not looked great.
Yeah the ankle injuries are the hope that it will start to turn for him at some point.
 
Maxey is him!

Super happy for him, there's nothing not to like about him and there's a nice karmic element to Philly rocketing into contention the minute they got the Hardenectomy that Harden made them get.

As for James, I think we are watching a narcissistic implosion happening in real time as he finally gets to a place where there are enough existing egos to check him on his 'system'. You love to see it, but it's rough for Clippers fans if any.
 
When a young player actually adds to their game, season after season, that's when you know their special - because few actually do/can.

Harden was useful for the Sixers in a lot of ways last season, but **** me is his trip to China one of the most important things to every happen to the team. Right alongside Mike Muscala.

This is the most watchable Sixers side since the first year Ben played with Brett as coach... since then they have been a boring soul destroying side to watch.
I am sure we will regress at some stage, probably soon.. but so far really enjoying it
Maxey is an absolute delight

Expectations/Time.

Sport doesn't get much more enjoyable then when you set low expectations and a team surpasses them. Happened then with the Sixers, happening now. And still, only the Bucks have won more games then them since the 17/18 season.
