    any game theyll actually try to win and not sabotage whether by playing not to win or fielding shitty lineups by renting playing time to the players agencies in return for future favors

    also any game played not in TC because thats the worlds weakest crowd...and its not even close

    On the Wood starting for Dallas point. Between him and McGee, it's arguable that Wood could start over him. Who knows with injury and whatever else it's possible.

    But base on Tim McMahon's reporting on Windhorst's podcast a while back; he let it slipped that Mav's recruiting pitch to sign JaVale was promised starter minutes. That's not to say Mavs won't go back on their word as things can be fluid. There are other possibilities like slotting Wood at the 4. In any case, I'm expecting McGee to start, but who knows; maybe he'll get played off the court.

    Rockets vs Pistons is the most must-watch game for me this season

    based off the schedule, the ass whoopings are going to be coming early and often…yet another season of garbage basketball coming up, yay

    We've got a brutal early schedule. We could be 6-14 in our first 20 games. Long season.

    For me the games against the best players and the best teams are most important. We’re rarely going to win those for the time being but it always tells you what kind of players you have.

    Could also argue the last twenty games tell you the most about who should be part of the core moving forward.

    Didn't watch the video yet but I'm looking forward to the timberwolves and pels matchups. In the west, timeline wise, I think they will be our biggest competition as far as who is next up.

    Damn. ENOUGH with the shameless promotion and spamming our board. The latest of many disturbing trends here.

    WE DON'T WANT IT!

    I’m excited I want to be bad

    This next draft class is better than the 2021 draft at the top

    I still can’t tell if NBA draft are just getting better better and better and deeper and deeper and deeper or if we just been very lucky to Tank from 2021 to 2023

    All of them.

    I haven't missed a game in decades - either in person or TV / DVR.

    Lachard, @vator , and AD (don't know his handle), great great work. Mr. Duckett... Specifically, I think you're on to something regarding KPj's catch and shoot percentage going up. If he accepts that the ball is going to come back to him once he let's go of it within the offence... that man should see serious returns. He's the best catch and shoot man in the league from distance. He's in a contract year. Make that your bread and butter? I can't imagine the pressure that puts on the contract negotiations if he does. Great defender, creative player, hits on open threes at a better rate than competitors...

    Anyway, to all three of you: thanks for making the offseason better. That got my imagination going...

    The ones to watch are any game where one of the young bucks has a breakout game or puts on a show. That could be any one of them so stay tuned.
