I’m disappointed Memphis has played so badly up until now but with Ja back they are starting to look like a decent enough team again despite still being short handed. I bet that before long they are a 0.500 team and on the verge of being at least a play-in contender. I’m still rooting for Marcus.

I think the Suns will still be dangerous if they ever get healthy.

He should be Suspended for the Rest of the Season. He's attacked at least 5 players, including a Teammate.

According to the so-called experts they are, but I think Philly is the toughest team to beat in the east.

Don't get fooled by Heat Agriculture.

Going from Smart and Robert Williams to Jrue and KP totally changes everything.

The Heat won't be able to defend the Cs like they used to because KP will dominate inside the paint and they can't play 4 vs. 5 because Jrue is not a bad shooter.

Celtics greatest competition in the East are themselves. Sixers are sub-.500 against above-.500 opponents. Bucks can't defend for ****.

We will all have a clearer picture once the trade deadline passes.

Sixers can still trade for another star player.

Toby for Siakam works.

That's an upgrade for the Sixers.

The thing with Miami is that they own a little bit of real estate in our heads at this point. Spo is also a hundred trillion times better than Mazzula.

One thing they won’t be able to do much this year is throw that stupid zone on us. We have been slicing that **** to pieces this year.

But yh if we don’t get injured it will take a royal choke job for us to not make the finals.
