Any updates on KP?

Any updates on KP?

He's handsome as a MF.

 

[Memphis]

Amile Jefferson had his championship stolen from his home.

 

[Jack Richards]

Burn the list and start again. Our defence is pathetic.

Porzingis is made of glass and Holiday has been out for weeks.

Horford is slower and sluggish at best.

Kornet and Hauser are junk.

 

[Borough Blood]

Didn’t watch any, is it really that bad when we pumped them two days ago?

 

[Demonic Ascent]

The win against the Timberwolves was really entertaining, they had clearly come to play and jumped us early then clawed back after we got out to a decent lead.

Very good win to start the road trip and without KP and JB as well. Suggestions that we blow it up is laughable, I can only assume that was tongue in cheek. Playoffs are still what, 4 months away? We're in very good shape.

 

[eth-dog]

We've what, gone 105-30 from the start of last season? We were due a rough patch. No panic stations needed yet

 

[Memphis]

Lol panic? we're still the best team in the nba when fully fit idgaf about the record currently the title goes through us.

We're still the team to beat.

 

[Memphis]

On top where we belong.

 

[Borough Blood]

No matter how bad we’re playing, Mavs are our bunnies (yes, I know no Luka or Lively).

 

[Memphis]

 

[Chadwiko]

The Celtics play the Mavs this week...

We are a ****ing mess atm. Near on 20 down at HT against a C grade 6ers line up. Something needs to shake this team up because we’ve been dragging our heels for 2 months now. Cavs will whitewash us with the junk we’re dishing up, assuming we make it to the East finals.

We’re far from good.

Coming back against a B grade Philly barely papers over the cracks.

We’re nowhere near playing to the level of lst year & with the improvement of the league, especially in the west & the Cavs consistency, you can’t just expect we’ll flick a switch unless we start to string together some decent win streaks which we haven’t done in a long while.

Apart from Tatum & PP, everyone else has regressed. Brown is the biggest concern, while Jrue & White have been struggling for some time.

Not saying we can’t pull it together, but we aren’t playing with any identity, particularly defensively. I’ve never seen us give up so many easy looks & that is an attitude & discipline problem which spreads like wild fire.

 

[Chadwiko]

We're not even at the all star break yet.
We're a team coming off a deep post-season run that ended in Banner 18, and literally over half of our starters played in the olympics in the offseason.

And we're still the 2nd seed in the East.

We're fine. We're still more than capable of winning the championship this year. Believe.

I can only agree with defense that it has sagged off but dude we aren’t like in bad sorts at all we are 3rd in offense and 5th in defense and 3rd in net rating like chad said with half our team going to the olympics whilst playing the full season. We’ll be fine JB just announced the energy is about the shift again.

All seriousness though maybe other than defense can’t see the reason for concern I think they’ll work it out by the time playoffs come around.

You also need to remember we are the champs and have been one of the better teams for the last few years we are always going to get everyone’s best, like a 3rd string team Philly. Players that want to make a name for themselves will circle us on their calendar.

 

[eth-dog]

Cavs getting away with murder but still up by 10

 

[srobbo]

Think we killed them off late in the 3rd there when the refs got them back to within 6. Hopefully we pull away & crush them now.

 

[eth-dog]

Donovan Mitchell is so, so good. Probably my favourite non-C (outside the Aussies)

As I was saying...

 

[Chadwiko]

I don't think there's a better team in the NBA when it comes to ball movement.

 

[eth-dog]

Really good game. Defence looked good for the most part. Make sure we make it a slow play, no foul.

 

[srobbo]

As I was saying...

It’s a small sample size & def the best 6 qtrs we’ve put together in over 2 months. The defensive intent is back & needs to stay that way, not just for 3-4 games. It was our one wood & identity as a team last year.

If thats stays there, then I’ll believe.
