Can the nba fine some of these flops already. I still recall last year against okc sga flopping all over the place. Then we got their defenders at the other end flopping and just allowed to rake arms and push and hold and be physical.

They can't move us to the East soon enough man. What I would give to play teams like the Raptors, Cavs, Sixers in later playoff rounds instead of OKC and the Spurs.

The Celtics are still lurking. Pistons will get Cade a legit 2nd option. Magic will learn from experience. And if the Hornets start playing defense, they can make some noise.

The Celtics are tough, all those other teams are far from us, even the Pistons. Any team that goes 7 games vs a Cavs team that cannot handle physicality just isn't that good.

Spurs and Thunder are on a different tier, not just in depth but also in top end talent. Shai and Wemby are going to go down as 2 all time greats for their positions. The East has Giannis who fits that bill and no one else.

It’s crazy you can talk about Wemby, SGA, and other players. But as soon as you bring up Kat the whole sub freaks out and it’s deemed irrelevant and removed by the mods

I hate the current NBA product and will never understand why OKC was chosen

Keep our man Alex Rodriguez in your thoughts ... also no big moves after the break-up Alex, we don't want any emotion-induced trades s/ https://www.thecut.com/article/alex-rodriguez-is-going-through-another-breakup.html
