Zeller and D.Lee both being white and having the same corpulence makes it difficult for the eye

since i turned on the celtics game it seems to be the following scenario :

euros make a bad pass, small black man gets a steal and runs in transition, no euros run back, small black man passes it to big white man who finishes at the rim

I just don't think the Celtics have the above-average pieces needed.

IT is solid but a dog to ever be a top 10 NBA PG. I love Jae but he is never going to be great. Bradley is meh. I just don't think KO/Sully/Lee/Amir are top bigs.

Depth is great but will only get you so far.

I agree if they trade packages for superstar (s) that is great but they give up depth. Landing a big FA would be great but will it happen?

tbh i dunno how they took that roster and won games. i think individually they are okay, but put them out there with stevens and they are pretty tough. they got guys that could take it to the next level.

they need that next level and a great player. and yeah prolly some more to lineup vs the spurs, cavs, and GSW. you do see the grizz sort of grinding it out every year with the big boys. give the c's a gasol type center and with their hustle, thats 50-55 wins. not a ring but in the mix.

Plan B is for the Nets to suck over the next three years, which seems like a decent Plan B.

curry had a similar play last year, could have been 2 years ago, where he passed to an open klay and celebrated the make as the shot went up lol

Sup anatta, I like reading you.

I wouldn't call what Greear did as fictitious, I'd prefer to call it a mental simulation. Everything is fiction when you think about it, things are just whatever we want to believe or what we don't want to believe, yet everything is nothing at the same time.

That over isn't +ev

STAPS is a year away from being a year away from contributing actual wins that lead to hitting the over

A top 10 starting point guard?

So of course the first time I consider signing up for ballstreams, the site isn't taking new customers.

Yeah I tried to renew yesterday and I guess they're not taking anymore subscriptions right now?

Couldn't find much googling, hopefully they're just upgrading some stuff and will let people renew before the season starts.

Don't want to pay double for inferior league pass.

Forgot they got ROLO aka TRL. I'm not sure Afflalo, Fisher, and the loltriangle are big enough Villanuevas to keep this team under 30 wins. I'll pass on this.

knicks can't even hope to playoff with that roster and they don't have their pick, that takes some genius GMing to get there even the nets have playoffed the last 2 years and the lakers got to keep their pick this year
