Yeah, they look horrible and it’s surprising. I know the invincible era is gone but it’s not like they don’t have pieces to compete right now. They can’t stop anyone.
Other than Steph, they do not have any floor spacers...The ball movement isn't as good because Wiggins and Oubre are ball stoppers for the most part and neither of them are consistent 3 or shooters. And you are right, so far, they've been terrible defensively. Its still early though and they've played 2 of the top 4 teams in the east...

2021 unprotected
2023 top 10 protected and eventually turns into 2nd rounders
Thanks for that. Unprotected. Wow. So we have no idea what the most valuable part of that trade is going to be like. We could still make out like bandits.

And on “the road” without one of the best defenders in the league. Nets were on a mission and Milwaukee needed a statement to make. GSW is not a contender but I would not call them a bottom dweller.
When KP get back on the court, MAVS will dominate, you all see that!
Gsw definitely missing draymond
Also seems magic to their offense was steph and klay two lights out shooters
Mighty have fallen quickly
Gotta admit that Christian Wood was someone that I missed as a good player. The kid is having a coming out party with the Rockets. Solid offensively and tough down low. Also like the fiery attitude. Would have fit nicely in NYC.

Would he? I get box score and its one or two games in to the season. Fact is he has Harden and Wall. Here the franchise wold be on his shoulders and we had already drafted OBI. Does Obi have a bigger upside?

Weird to see how quickly unravelled. Their bench is awful. Wiggins and Oubre are playing like they always have- I never got why, just because Wiggins went to the warriors, a lot of nba writers went from calling him the worst contract in the league to 'a nice future trade piece'- what a joke! Think with a strong season by Wiseman, and a good season by Green and Curry, they might get to 8-10th, but I don't think they can carry two losers like Oubre and Wiggins- they need to get rid of one asap.
Clips down 50 to mavs wtf

Exactly

No Kawahi but “Damn” that was a killing!
And we beat Bucks the second of a back to back? Bucks played Christmas Day and then likely took off Saturday.

Stuff like this makes me think that Kawhi might consider the Knicks, if we can get our act together in a hurry, and the Clips underperform.
The Clips had a star in the lineup and still managed to set that franchise record.
Besides Mav’s embarrassment of Clip’s, Yesterday Knicks blow out Bucks, Charlotte beats Nets, Cle beats philly without Embiiiid.
Less upset is Indy beats Boston.
Cavs are 3-0!!!

Surprising results, makes the game more interesting to follow. Was so smug to see CHA over BKN. I’m just not a good person...

Have you seen him play? I did not watch him much prior to this year. He played the other night without Wall and was a beast. Grant it, as you said, once we committed to Obi, it did not make sense. He is definitely someone that was missed by many teams. Comment was more on how a really good player can fly under the radar.
