Of course blaming Broussard is ridiculous !
Message from kawhi was clear , he wouldn’t join the clippers .......unless they made a huge move and the clippers did !

For those idiots said Broussard should lose his job, are they saying kawhi would join the clippers regardless of what clippers did in the last 24h.
Please stop posting ....

PG had a phenomenal year last, but he has always started out on fire for most of the season and then fell off a cliff after the ASB, and last year he didn't play in a lot of those games.

I wasn't saying Gallo>PG, I was saying Gallo last year, in what could be very likely an outlier season, was better than Paul George's average seasons. Then I said aging PatBev + Lou Will and losing Shai still makes them 3 games better with PG... which according to Goldstein is a conservative estimate.
Clippers should load-manage PG and KL.

They have great coaches though, I mean except for the part about their teams getting way better after they left.

Free agency worked out pretty great for league parity. We should get some aggressive mid season moves with so many teams live to title.

It sucks but KD is most likely out the entire season and would be hobbled at best so BKN are out this year. Klay should be healed enough by playoffs to at least not be playing limited minutes so GSW are still a powerhouse. LeBron and AD could be the best 1/2 ever if the King keeps defying age. UTA, PHI, LAC will have dominating defense. BOS and POR are a solid fit acquisition or player improvement from being with the tier 3's.

You really think people are "blaming" Broussard or Rose for the "outcome."

Of course they don't need to be fired for getting it wrong. They only hurt themselves with respect to credibility.

Is this "clear" thing something you knew ahead of time, or something you learned when everyone else did. Because nothing about any of this was "clear."

I think there could be some value in LAC's regular-season under. My guess is as trollstoy suggests there will be some load management, plus I don't think they have a regular-season type roster with a lack of a traditional PG.

They should be absolute monsters in the playoffs though, two big wings who can score over great defense and play great defense themselves? They seem like a lock to be a team who dgaf about regular season wins because they know they'll be fine in the playoffs.

Utah over, LAC under, LAL under are my bets without even seeing final win totals.

Read my response to mullen, I knew what you meant and once you walked it back a little mid-post I didn't even disagree. It was still a funny Gallo-love-fuelled exaggeration. As good as Gallo was last year, Paul George is obviously a favourite to be better than that next season (which you admitted mid post, going from '19 Gallo ~ '20 PG to '19 Gallo + SGA + 3 wins ~ '20 PG)

Same. It’s refreshing to see a legit superstar who is not a complete attention whore that posts on social media like a teenage girl. The fact that his preference was to go to LA and the lakers had LeBron and AD and a max spot open and he still told them **** you basically confirms he is a good person.

MoML

He will do better with Jrue/Lonzo running the show. And he was basically using game yesterday as shooting practice (which he’s bad at).

Almost everyone thinks the 76ers got better. They got younger and better defensively and don't forget they're getting Zhaire back as well. Horford, Richardson, Tobias [also Mike Scott] all above-average from 3. I'd have been fine running it back but this Sixers team is better.

Beginning of last year, 76ers were starting Fultz, Cov, and Dario - replaced with Tobais, Richardson, and Horford. Seems crazy to see that in print.

I think 76ers are better than the Bucks but understand if Giannis & Bucks stans feel differently [Greek Freak is awesome!] - but they'll be relying on quality minutes from Bledsoe and George Hill and Wes Matthews & Robin Lopez in the playoffs and that is not good. They don't have the talent of depth of the 76ers or last year's Raptors after losing Brogdon or Mirotic.

Embiid was +90 in the playoffs vs Raptors. Giannis was +10 in one fewer game. Middleton isn't enough help for them to win a title.

Bench seems kinda weak, but it was weakkkk last year in playoffs.
Starters seem improved slightly, too.

I think Philly is a good bet to come out of the East.
You forgot James Ennis who played really well in the playoffs. And Kyle O'Quinn as a legit backup unlike Greg Monroe lol. The bench is much improved and is legit 6 deep if Thybulle or Shake can play at all.

LOLwtfbbq at GSW being the 2nd best team/a better contender than Mil or PHL. They're legitimately in the 4th tier right now. Certainly below Houston and Utah.
