      The Magic shut down the old Garden, beat the Paul Prince era team with Dwight and owned the Celts last year…When Bill speakers positively about the Magic you know their going to be good.

    The funny thing about players being mad they were in shopped in a trade is if they werent moved it means their team values them more than other teams.

    Paolo was outshined by Franz at the World Cup. Franz even got injured, came back and, although for sure being handycaped by his ankle, was our best player by far. He can do it all. But what impresses me the most is his understanding of the game. Everything he does seems to logic. He almost never has these Russell Westbrook moments, when you see a really great talent with all the ablities a basketballer can dream of, throws away the ball bc he can`t make the right decisions in the right moment. Franz almost never makes stupid plays. And he is only 21 years old. That`s amazing. And will make him an All Star in the near future..

  • @troymackey9588

    Milwaukee's defence was built on great perimetre defenders (Bledsoe & Jrue). Brook was a terrible defender when he was younger, but getting through Jrue & looking at Brook is crazy.
    Milwaukee is going to rely on Giannis defending, that is not good for a 7 game series.
    Same point for Celtics D. It will be built on 4 great defenders (at least) on the court at most times, & when you get past that you look at a 7'3 monster in front of you.
    As for Nuggets, I have loved Jokic since he came in the league & I am always scared of him.

    House is right on the over for the Hornets. Shows the low level of knowledge about the team (not blaming them, if I didn't live here I wouldn't care either) that they're shocked the line didn't move when Kai got cut. He was our *3rd string* center. He will not be missed on the court. This team won 27 games last year with LaMelo playing a third of the season, Bridges not playing a minute, Mark Williams played half the season, and we've added Brandon Miller - you're telling me that doesn't add up to five more wins? LaMelo playing 70 games instead of 35 like last year would get us to the over by itself. If Bridges is anything close to what he was two years ago, we'll be flirting with 35-37.

    Herro for Harden heck no, Tyler Herro is gonna take another step up this year. He’ll average 23-24ppg, be a better defense player and take on a bit bigger role for MIA this season as Jimmy buckets a top 5 player in the league takes it easier during the season this Herro will have more rein this year.

  • @ou8428

    If Herro was officiated correctly by the letter of the book, and wasn't gifted freethrows on what are technically offensive fouls, carries+ doubledribbles, and travels; AND kept his status as one of the 5 worst defenders in the league, he wouldn't be in the fucking league. Stop elevating him to think he's something special because he's NOT. His team has had more playoff success WITHOUT him.
    Caleb Martin should have gotten the Larry Bird trophy in the ECF rather than that garbage that Jimmy Butler put up. CALEB MARTIN has been more playoff proven in ONE SERIES than Herro has done in FOUR YEARS.
