I read somewhere that their defense this year is worse too maybe that’s a result of just coasting.


My thing is I’m interested in the bucks having a round 2 with the nets and Kyrie actually being there for the entire series

Lopez has been injured all season long, who is an underrated part of their defense. He’s back now, so it’s a matter of trying to get him into rhythm for the postseason. They’ve been middle of the pack on defense this season, which won’t win him the championship when it really matters most.

We’ll see if they can put it altogether come playoff time :yeshrug:

He could easily end up being the best player in the draft. He and Cade are both players where you put the ball in their hands and winning plays result. Mobley's claim will primarily be on the defensive side, and Barnes' will be both.

In Mobley’s defense, his offense was always projected to be a work in progress.

Pistons, Rockets, & Magic all sitting at 20 wins, Thunder at 21 :lupe:

Thunder still play the Pistons but need to somehow lose to the Blazers twice & the Lakers. Also have to hope the Rockets can maybe catch a stray win between the Spurs & 2 Kings games & the Magic can beat somebody like the Wizards, Knicks, or Hornets.
It’s no superstars in this draft. It’s not like the last 5 year. I don’t think their any potential franchise saviors. So I’m. It really tripping as long as Houston get a top 4 pick. There’s literally nothin be mad at if Houston was pick number 4 and a certain player got pick ahead of them. There’s no franchise player talent in this draft at the top 5. Consensus-wise

No it wasn’t. Cade and Green along had big hype and franchise players. Green was being compared to elite guards and they were comparing Cade to Grant Hill. Stop rewriting history. All the bottom teams were tanking to get either Green or Cade becsue they were being called transcendent talent that could cart a franchise into the future. Man don’t nobody feel that way about these players in this draft. Feels like They have all star potential. Not superstar potential



Everybody was hyped for the 2021 draft. 2019 had Zion and Ja. 2018 had prehype of Trey Luka and Jaren Jackson jr. 2017 had prospects like Tatum, Ball and Even Fulkz to look forward too. The last couple of year dating back to 2015 had great prospects with great hype to look forward too that made you want to tank hard. I jsut don’t fell that this season. Whoever Houston get left with in the top 4 doesn’t really matter any order or preference to me.

The majority of mock drafts originally had Mobley going #2 instead of Green. Let’s not rewrite that narrative. There were valid questions about Cade’s athleticism that could potentially hold him back from being a transcendent talent and Green’s efficiency. It was the exact reason why you had a lot of people who projected Mobley as being the best player in the draft eventually once his offense caught up with his defense.

The rhetoric against the last draft and the next one are gonna be stupid because of how COVID threw all these guys into shytty situations. Its going to 3 or maybe even 4 seasons of rookies dealing with more bullshyt than ever.

Its crazy GSW couldve ended up being the 6 seed if dallas utah and denver didnt all of a sudden start being trash.

The heat fall off is crazy you could have a 4 way at the top in the east essentially. 5 way tie if my bulls didnt fukk this up

What's the NO Pelicans future looking like? I thought they looked good their last 2 games and that's without Ingram and Zion too.

Noones giving CJ credit either he looks great out there

@GoldenGlove @god shamgod

A month later, and i still stand by this :sas2:

MIA's next L will drop them to a 4/5 matchup with yall, their next 3 games are SAC, BOS, CHI.

I’d like the bulls chances now p will is back + Tristan & IF they had lonzo(I think he’s done for the year)

it was their role players like duncan,struss & gabe vincent who killed the bulls in the 3 match ups , if oladipo getting their minutes :pachaha:
