I hate that we have a "known" owner. When a team owner is known for anything other than empowering the right people to create a championship-winning culture, it's a bad thing. I hate feeling like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and watch Tilman turn into a poor man's James Dolan.
Says "Not going to win a title" Puts them in "Title contenders" Well then just put them in "Strongish playoff teams" category (or maybe "Netherworld of the West" or "The rest" -- tell us how you really feel Zach), *******! "Grandfathered in" -- go **** yourself!
I don't understand why people are so high on the Pelicans. I'm excited about Zion too. He has a great last name. But it seems to me that he's much like Giannis in that you need to surround him with shooters. Instead, they surrounded him with guys who can't shoot. Favors, Ingram, Ball, etc. I think they're going to suck unless they make some pretty radical changes.
Lol provisional? Then that should be for every team on that tier, we don’t know how they will be until we seem them play. What has Utah proven nothing yet. Philly and bucks lost key role players. Clippers and lakers have a lot of new guys to incorporate, especially on their starting line up. Rockets are just adding Russ for Chris.
My favourite was Jalen Rose saying Clint Capela has to elevate his game up to Rudy Gobert standards if the Rockets want to be serious threats. Pretty sure he’s done that head to head in the playoffs. Twice.
Yeah. They’re easily third best team. Wouldn’t be surprised if they sneak a top 2 seed in during regular season.
Yeah, his tier names are weird. Is he really trying to say the Nets and Magic are stronger playoff teams in the East than the Raptors? Are the Nets even better than they were last year? Kyrie has to prove to make a team better as the #1 guy to me before I'll give it to him. D'Angelo Russell was legit really good last year, with no drama to boot.
I mean, the same people that gave Russell Westbrook the MVP gave Conley his defensive team award. If you’re the type that lets the media dictate your views, then I can’t do anything to change your mind.
