Their Vegas Over Under was 31 Wins. You got the over?

Yep.

Interesting. I stopped watching that game in favor of others after the first quarter and a half so I don't really know what happened but neither team looked good to me and Kawhi looked disinterested but he finished with nice stats.

I think Cleveland is under 30 wins if I had to pick.

This Bogdan whatever his name is dude on LAC is a monster. Reminds me of the Russian from the Pine Barrens episode of the Sopranos but if he played basketball

Devin Booker is what a young extremely talented player with the potential to be great is supposed to look like.

Nah he is better than Mitchell and also younger. You also thought Phoenix "wasn't terrible" so there is that.

The worst thing that he could do is start forcing 3's just to prove a point. What i like about him is that he plays to his strengths and knows where to get his game off.

He is constantly playing downhill as he should with the length and athleticism that he has. Might be the fastest guy in the league in line to in line. It would be stupid for him to start forcing 3's

Never wrote this but since you are on this kick it took the big black man (possibly from the Sudan) to chin check Mirotic for everyone to start liking him. This is really quite the about face. Less than a year ago you were ready to string him up by gasoline draws. What happened?

And take Jabari over him in a heartbeat by the way.

I've always been THE BIGGEST Mirotic fan on this board. Once again you're confused.

I had a fairly large Mirotic woody. If that guy gets his head screwed on straight watch out. You would NEVER get a guy that good 20+ in the draft. Stupid.

Jokic is better and went in the second round.

Yep. No 3 point shooters could be an issue but pace and defense could make up for it. Walton is a great coach too.

I agree. Only way I see LeBron missing the playoffs is if he got hurt.

6 left in the 3rd quarter and the Lakers are 0/15 from 3.

Hart ended the streak. Getting 60 points in the paint makes up for that

I feel extremely confident about them not making the playoffs. Lebron and a bunch of role players making the playoffs in the West. Ain't going to happen.
