Milwaukee to blow it up surely

cdub6238 · 10-31-2024, 08:59 PM

Bucks down 27...Giannis still in stat padding

hxcmilkshake · 10-31-2024, 09:05 PM

Banchero! Out like 6 weeks

Yep. Nope. Still not buying the Mavs hype.

JustinVerlander07 · 10-31-2024, 09:17 PM

When does Doc get fired?

RKH916 · 10-31-2024, 09:18 PM

Wembanyama...

Nine three point attempts in 15 minutes of court time.

Regressive progressivism.

In saying that, he's really their only option.

The Spurs are a minus 18 in the 8 mins he was off the court. A plus 12 when he was on.

I drafted Wemby so I would watch more of him this season. But this team is putrid.

Completely unrelated but... I was just scrolling through instagram and realised that I follow you. Same username on there right?

I just don't like their depth. Klay isn't going to be even keel throughout the season and it's going to put the same burden on Lulu/Kyrie to carry against the upper echelon squads.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Nice box score in the end

That said he is playing the jazz

They are not a regular season team. They'll crush someone's dreams come Playoff time though. The West is solid and deep, but not that scary. OKC is literally their only challenge to make the Finals.

Incredible line in the end. A very important win on the road. Wemby a +43 is absolutely nuts.

Probably. Lulu postseason is a different beast.

I guess I'm simply measuring everyone against Boston which probably isn't a fair marker.

ninjacookies · 10-31-2024, 10:39 PM

Strip Club Patron 10 dishes at the half.

In all actuality, he's who Slemby really needs.

...what he didn't mention was the takeoff was being launched into the sun.

I'm also about fed up with Giannis coming in every season without a jumper and somehow worse at shooting FTs. I feel like he's eventually gonna hit a wall where athleticism doesn't allow him to impact games anymore and he's just gonna hang it up cause he can't transition into a role where his mid-range picks up the slack.

jcardstore · 11-01-2024, 04:24 PM

Some early leans tonight:

Sac / Cavs ML parlay
Cavs -7
Raptors +9
Miles bridges / Lamelo Ball 6+ Reb parlay

I can't believe Doc still gets hired.

It's gross.

It is, but end if the day he's a symptom of the overall management of this team. You could have prime Pop coaching this year's team and they still wouldn't go anywhere because the roster is straight ass.

They play hard, but between their talent and a low ceiling head coach, they aren't really that close to going anywhere

Year after year around here there seems to be an irrational optimism for the Pistons, and year after year, they fall flat.

I'll be surprised if it's any different this year. JB will have the young guys locked in, but there's just a lack of talent of the roster.

JB is a floor raiser coach. He’s fine for a young team that has bad habits but his offense is awful.

Doc is an underachieving bum.

jcardstore · 11-01-2024, 06:41 PM

And I switch games to check the score and the pistons are getting absolutely mopped

tjforce · 11-01-2024, 07:14 PM

Donovan Mitchell has only played 13 mins...

Jarrett Allen has 0 points.....

Cavs up 19 at half

Cash money on all but 1.

The Raptors +9 was a sweat for a while but it was never in doubt
