Whose side does Paul George play for?

Best basketball news in ages- about time! Teams will actually be allowed to guard Harden and Trae Young.
Remember when the league accommodated Hibbert with the verticality rule, allowing him to foul Melo in the playoff series and create a new defensive stud, then Silver destroyed his career by changing the rules back (or at least the calling of them) when he became commissioner- wonder if any player has a similar decline
I'm kinda worried that IQ will have a tough time in his sophomore season.
Translation: Harden will still get bs calls and lesser known guys like IQ won’t
It won’t kill these guys games. Harden will still tie up players but the issue of when offensive player initiates contact will be addressed more. IQ will still be effective with his in traffic studder moves but if he backs up into players he won’t get the call. Nor will others.
ATL did not have an allstar this year. They the new “Detroit” without a star? Trae will have a spot in the years to come though. ATL Bench/depth vs. Bucks concentrated “Big three” of Middleton, Giannis and Holiday.
How the Bucks miss Bogdonovich. Ouch.
Rumor mill Nets not happy with Kyrie’s mid season time off. Suprise. I suppose this is on KD to decide his fate? Can’t think his trade value is too great. He is a headache. But a super talented one and I think Kyrie is not the only one in the league that is. He is just more transparent and frequent. Doncic ripped up Dallas “culture” and they rebuild around him and perhaps his Latvian friend. Perhaps the beef around KP was more about Luka than him?
Nets went into season without Harden. Maybe two is company but three is a crowd?
The draw up, the pass, the pick, the dunk. All perfection.

Batum fucked that one up. Great pass, great pick, great slam.

No jumping because his legs are dead that he needs to install bionics in the off-season.
Ayton got some skills. Seems like a great teammate as well.
Trae Young is going to have a big series against the Bucks because they play drop-coverage against the pick n roll. You can't drop on Trae because his float-game is lethal. Last series Bud made zero adjustments; will he make the adjustments vs Trae? Doubt it but we will see....
Trae shoulder shake!!!That little shit is really kinda of cool. Dude is doing it in Milwaukee. Playing the crowd.
The off the backboard oop to Collins!
I just turned the game on………..
Hawks look like they actually enjoying the game.

Atlanta keeps rolling. We gotta keep watching these awful fucking haircuts for two more series?

Doing this without deAndre hunter too. Like I said they are youthful and are able to maintain the talent in depth
Bud made the correct move by moving Giannis to the 5 because Lopez is unplayable against the pick n roll, however, Bud made the wrong move by replacing him with Connaughton. There were too small and got killed on the offensive glass. It should have been Portis in there.

Make no mistake, Trae Young is the reason. He controls the game and is unstoppable running the pick n roll. He is a much better playmaker than he is given credit for.

Portis would've gotten killed on D. There just aren't that many options.
Our loss to the Hawks keeps looking better and better. These guys might end up playing the Suns in the finals. Their coach must be a magician because the turnaround from that team after he took over is legendary.
