drat, Evan Fournier missed making the list by 2 attempts. Gallinari missed by 11 and JJ Redick by 23.

Better luck next year!

Maybe it's overly optimistic to praise a team at 19-36, but the future looks bright with Bridges, Graham, Washington, and now even Monk.

It's easy to see that core never being good enough — there's no real star and one almost definitely won't be coming in this draft — but if they all keep improving it's a pretty solid base.

Jalen McDaniels and Cody Martin look like they might be NBA players, too. They were playing three-rookie lineups last night against the Bulls and winning those minutes. I was expecting this year to be a slog but it's definitely an improvement over the last few seasons.

I knew Kemba was hovering around 40% but I guess he's cooled off a bit to 38.8.

edit: Jaylen and Tatum are also both 38 and change.

He's missed a bunch of games so wouldn't qualify, but KAT's 41% on 8 attempts a game would be a pace that would put him in that top-3 or so category of best C&S shooters in the NBA this season.

I mean, they are probably, what... 20% to get out of the East?

70% bucks
20% Toronto
5% Boston
2% philly
2% Miami
1% field

Seems right to me

I wouldn't bet on Toronto getting past the Bucks, but I could see it happening if the Bucks managed to gently caress up and collapse over a series or something.

Yes, I know that's kind of a tautology.

I sure hope the game ends before the fight starts because I would really like to see them both. This is the question for the bucks, can they beat the optimal permutation of the sixers?

No one else in the east has a chance against mil, the Celtics are good but they don't have somebody to put on Giannis. The heat are Scrappy but they're not a good match.

And the other question is, who has the best chance of beating the clippers? I don't think the Lakers can do it without sublime performances from players other than LeBron and AD. It seems like the clippers could run the 76ers off the floor. They have more overall talent then the bucks, aren't relying on famously choukrouning point guard. Maybe the move is to make white Donte the lead ball handler, other than giannis antetokounmpo.

But what's important is the Derrick Rose has once again back from injury. Hopefully Luke kennard comes back before the season is over, but I'm guessing he might not be back until the last 10 or so games. no idea how serious this knee tendonitis thing is or if they're just letting him heal in season for tanking purposes

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

The Sixers beat the Clips like, two weeks ago

I think the Sixers have wins vs the entire Top 4 in both the East and West, so they can hang with just about anybody. Then they will poo poo the bed vs Atlanta the next night in a way Milwaukee never will
