I wonder what penalties Chicago and Miami get for tampering?

[QUOTE=jcardstore;17787071]They’re a championship lock :cry:[/QUOTE]
Still agree with this. It’s challenging to win games with only two MVP candidates. Definitely need that third.

How about that Lu steal to win the game. :)! First game his mom was in attendance to. Always a great story behind this kid. 4 W in a row OKC is ballin.

Poku still in line for sixth man of the year?

Was he ever?

[QUOTE=jcardstore;17787209]Was he ever?[/QUOTE]

Someone made that their preseason pick.

[QUOTE=oldgoldy97;17787203]Poku still in line for sixth man of the year?[/QUOTE]

Highly doubt anyone from OKC gets even considered in any individual awards.

[QUOTE=Dr kicker;17787254]Highly doubt anyone from OKC gets even considered in any individual awards.[/QUOTE]

OKC has some decent players. Poku is not one of them

Maybe they can add a 4th or a 5th at the deadline to just solidify what’s basically already guaranteed

[QUOTE=minnesotachill;17787167]First Quarter of the Chicago/GS looked like a legit Finals matchup.

The Bulls have some work to do though. They have zero depth right now.

They won't be getting far with guys like Alize Johnson, Davante Green, and Tony Bradley getting major minutes.

I'd expect them to be on the look out for veteran help come the trade deadline.[/QUOTE]

Team needs a PF urgently. Depth matters more in the regular season (and I think it's gonna end up costing the Bulls 3-5 wins) but the top of the rotation for the playoffs is pretty much a lock:

LaVine-DeRozan-Vuc-Lonzo-Bald Mamba

That's a pretty decent top of the rotation. The other 3 worry me. Hopefully Coby can take a leap and be the scorer needed off the bench. If DJJ keeps playing like this, that's another one the team can cross off. But another wing and big is still needed.

Maybe Ersan can fill the backup big role. He wouldn't be too far from home :-D

Bulls are a nice second round team. Giannis says hi.

The East is so loaded they might be lucky to get to that point.

Also true.

MPJ has hit Beckett’s Cold List.

[QUOTE=oldgoldy97;17787203]Poku still in line for sixth man of the year?[/QUOTE]

As the ONLY person to make any picks/predictions, yeah I was way off there. After last year's numbers, and reports that the second unit would run through him, I had high hopes. Dropped him from my fantasy teams after just a few games...

[QUOTE=oldgoldy97;17787634]MPJ has hit Beckett’s Cold List.[/QUOTE]

Did you say MPJ or KPJ?

Neither of them are even shooting 38% from the field

KJP?

Gotta be hot at one point to then be cold. He’s been a lukewarm body at best. But he’s well on his way to his assists per game goal. Wasn’t it 15.0? :rolleyes:

Don't know about CHI but GS looks like they'll get there. Their team is so stacked, they don't have enough minutes to go around. Once Klay comes back, don't see anyone in the West beating them

[QUOTE=jcardstore;17787257]OKC has some decent players. Poku is not one of them[/QUOTE]Might be smart to give him some time in the G League. Interesting prospect but it's just not working right now.

[QUOTE=rustywest;17675746]What a surprise. You think the opposite of me

And again with the refs, that's unhealthy how much you bang on about refs.

[B]What lack of spacing? This lack of spacing I've heard about on woeful but popular media centering on, and I presume, Westbrook? The whole team can shoot 3's except Dwight and DJ - Look that one up on the statty.[/B] I know you would absolutely love to bring up Russ' 3%, you are dying too but its not it. He will still be guarded and can make big threes. You can funnel him into mid-range at the top of the key but I like that shot too when it matters. You have a stat sheet, congrats, its part of it

Russ is playing with Lebron, and AD, and catch set shoot Melo. No such thing as lack of spacing[/QUOTE]

Me looking up Davis' 3P% on "the statty" ...

Yea I mean the intrigue is interesting but you’re right, he’s not NBA ready.

Ohh…. The KPJ index was on fire before the season began.

But then they actually started playing games. See if you can point to the spot in the chart when that happened

I feel for whoever picked up his higher end stuff before the season, thinking he was gona have a break-out year

Those 'Top 10 plays of the night' are so questionable to me.
Wide open (like no defender even on their side of the court) windmill dunks are not impressive to me.
Jarrett Allen murdering the Pistons rookie dude, however, was nice.
The difficulty of the Hill three was way better than 10th place.
