    1 for 11

    Trae and Lin in the backcourt = 15 wins for the Hawks this year. They going to regret trading out that Euro guy to Cuban

    Ryno 0 for 2. 0 for 2 from three. He must think he's playing against GSW in the playoff.

    Ariza 2 for 3. If he had gone even 1 for 3 against GSW in game 7, we would be the Defending NBA Champ

    Ayton doing well. Bagley not even a starter. Don't know what Kings are doing drafting Jahil Okafer 2.90

    Well, Ayton is legit. That looked very easy for him.

    Is it safe to assume that he is already better than Capela right now? His defense is worse, but still better than advertised, and on attack he is Capela with a jump shot.

    Well, I know that if there was a an Ayton for Capela trade out there Morey would do it.

    I don't know how good he's going to be but at the very least his floor looks like an occasional all-star while his ceiling is waaay up there.

    It's nice to see big men coming back into the league, I think he's going to make mincemeat of small ball lineups.

    Celtics have a big problem, they need to trade away either Brown or Hayward and let Irving walk away so Tatum can truly blossom. Tatum is the on that team with superstar potential the "Medium 3" core they built should be shipped out ASAP Hayward is just a stop gap and Irving is one of the most overrated players in NBA history, dude is like WB without the defense, health and athleticism.

    Ainge should try and get either Love or AD to round out their team and get Tatum to SF where he belongs.

    Of course Morey would do an Ayton for Capela, but only because Ayton makes rookie salary so it would save $$$ and possibly allow another max dude on the team.

    Capela would destroy Ayton and it ain't even close. Dude hasn't even played in the regular season and his floor is occasional all star? Really? Luka Doncic was MVP at Euroleague which is the 2nd highest bball league in the world at age 19, the hype for him is very real. Nobody says he will be an occasional all star at worst lol.

    She's hot. I'm surprised she hasn't sued any NBA players for sexual harrassment. I wouldn't be able to control myself next to her. Lots of pocket pools going on

    Lakers are very dangerous in transition

    they’re not gonna be a good shooting team tho

    they’re a League Pass team for me

    Have you seen how he catches the ball from players that are 100x worse at passing the ball than CP3 and Harden? Imagine if both could play pick & pop with Clint.
    Not a knock on Clint, he made the best out of tools he has been given. Just comparing a bit for fun.

    Ask KAT if being an excellent scorer makes you better than Clint Capela.
