Just as I predicted last year. I said I had serious doubts about his commitment to the game and his off season work ethic. Predicted he would show little to no improvement in year 2.

You were right about the Nets too. I watched the least amount of NBA I have this year in a long time and it shows :lol:

yea, they're the league's best kept secret. Play harder than any team in the league. Against a team of prima donna's like Philly that could be trouble.

Aaron Gordon cannot pass out of an iso post up on Lowry if he's gonna reach his potential.

They're still going to lose. Atkinson can coach though.

Redick is a liability and until Brown realizes that Philly is done. They will get past New Jersey but they will not beat the better teams unless his minutes are shortened. Shouldn't play McConnell at all.

Gotta laugh at the announcers saying "they still have Fultz so they have players on the bench who are gonna add to them in the future"

:lol:

Fultz is the biggest bust since Anthony Bennett. Just stop.

I'm giving him one more year. If he doesn't show something or even play then yeah he is done. He will be an even bigger bust than Bennett. Bennett was no 1 by default where Fultz was part of a good class and they traded up to get him.

Orlando is going to be scary good in a year or two. I like their young talent. Fultz is with the perfect team if he has anything.

I still have him to be better than Trae Young too.

I agree with you on Fultz. I wouldn’t completely write him off yet but it doesn’t look good.

Not sure on Orlando. I like the team but they need a PG in the worst way and a team without one isn’t a contender imo.

The 2013 class has turned out much better than it originally looked.

That's why Fultz is critical. That frontline of Vuk, Isaac, and Gordon is good. Don't know about Bamba. Too thin and not all that skilled either.

With Fultz if its physical then he is in decent shape. If it is psychological then the kid is fucked.

Yeah because of the Freak. Oladipo has been solid. Probably the worst top ten that I have ever seen. Though KDdidit Martin's draft year would give them a run for their money

Tie game with Lowry scoreless with 3 minutes left, Lowry matching up primarily against Augustin. Crazy.

2 years ago he was my favorite player in sports but that Kawhi airball just brought a huge smile to my face.

Always loved me some Draymond but it’s a little funny seeing him go out of his way to light up an 8 seed in the 1sr quarter. :lol:

For the millionth time, I love the NBA playoffs. March madness is great but nothing in sports holds a candle to this.

I’m torn. Love Jokic but he needs to step up here. On the other hand I still love my Spurs.
