I'm glad Fitz seems to have their trust and they came in shape this season. As long as the young guys show growth and continue to get minutes I don't care about wins or losses. I definitely want to see more Frank, Knox, Mitch, and Hen together though.

Hardaway got to show that deserves that contract too. He had flashes last year, but I want to see more consistency this year.

If not ship his ass out during the deadline.
 
How did Frank N look over the duration of the game? I saw like 2 mins and he looked like the same frank but I only seen a sec.
 
Yo Stringer, How many teams from the Central do you see making the playoffs?
 
Wizards don't know when Dwight will play

They can survive w/o him for a little bit (about a week into the season) luckily mahinmi and Bryant are there to kinda help with rim protection and rebounding

Wiz have their best team from a depth standpoint in years so they should be fine

At the same time not a good way to start your season

the pels pace last night was insane!!! I imagine things are going to look a lot better once rotations are set and chemistry continues to develop

they are still plagued by the lack of 3pt shooting. If they are going to take another step, this HAS to be addressed.

S. Hill is getting wide open, uncontested looks in the corner and is just building subdivisions out there
 
Meanwhile the wolves asking for khris Middleton and change for butler FOH

Just give us butler and stop playing

I was gonna post this yesterday. From what I understand the Wolves wanted to swap Butler with Middleton straight up.

Bucks said no.

Either they just dont want to pay Butler 200 mil, but the real reason is Butler probably told them he wouldnt resign.
 
Guess who’s finally on tap tonight boys?

A lot to watch for tonight but Im going to be paying close attention to the back up center battle

Apparently Nene(if he stays on the team) is only going to be used in spot minutes against certain matchups and right now Isaiah Hartenstein has the inside track for the backup center role ahead of Zhou Qi and Chriss

Also want to see what we can do with MCW, heard he put in a lot of work on his shooting this summer and I still like his defensive potential
 
Cant wait to see how they distribute Harden and Melos minutes. Im guessing they gonna try to not have them on the court at the same time.

PJ Tucker not playing tonight so Melo will be starting

Why do you think he and Harden shouldnt be on the court together?

Harden is an average defender when hes trying, and his effort has been good the last two years but its hard to always try, so he has lapses. Its not a big deal when he is surrounded by a great on ball defending guard, a great wing defender, and an elite rim protector.

Melo was never a good defender but he really hit rock bottom on defense last year. Im Melos biggest supporter and it was just hard to watch. Im expecting Melo to be even worse this year.

With Melo out there, not only will Melos defense be exploited but Hardens defense will get worse.

On most nights yall gonna be so good offensively its not gonna matter.

Against Elite teams, yall gonna struggle on defense, especially against gsw because the switching that made yall so effective against them is gonna be impossible because Capella wont be able to leave Cousins with a smaller defender.

That's legit the only weakness yall have. But its a big one.
 
That's the reason why I dont see Melo closing games, especially against elite teams, and it will be legit impossible against the warriors.

Yall remember how KD was only effective when he could force Harden to switch on him in the wcf? Imagine if Melo is out there, with Harden, and Boogie forcing Capella to stay with him.
