    Lol, 60 more games to play.

    It's a marathon remember?

    All sorts of people coming to conclusions.

    The virus mutation might even hit it hard.

    Bucks are a 3 pt shooting team, shot 29% this game.

    They shoot over 34% their average and they win out, that simple.

    I feel asleep and the Warriors and Curry were trash. I wake up and the Lakers lost.

    Or maybe the Bucks forced themselves into less than ideal shots trying to keep up with an offensive machine

    Tilman inadvertently and willingly rolled over.

    True, teams have to figure it out and play to their strengths and not get carried away by the Nets.

    C'mon, man, at one point and not long ago this young season they set a new record of 29 ....how quickly people forget.



    The Nets are not good at perimeter D, Bucks just rushed their 3s and didn't slow down.

    Bryn Forbes alone is a career 40.1% 3 pt shooter. I kid you not.

    They more likely had a bad night. Forbes, Khris Middleton, Augustin didn't connect at all while Brook Lopez shot poorly.

    And it was still a close game.

    It was a close game but its not like the Nets played perfect either, they havent even practiced yet lol. Once Harden gets a handle on those Jordan lobs.......oh boy. Then there is .....Kyrie.

    There is always Kyrie. Ask Boston.

    Harden implied he didn't need a preseason and extra practice. ;)

    Just saying...if Kyrie is Kyrie on the court..than this team becomes just completely unguardable.

    Nets is the better team but someone like the Bucks is better prepared for regular season and the wear and tear.

    Shame they didn't get Bogdanovic.

    Miami and Toronto are still pretty dangerous too, not reliant on a true superstar.

    Wouldn't shock me at all if they'd made a late run.

    Harden made the whole East better but they were deep just before he came.

    Miami will be interesting, we will see if they can replicate what they did post bubble.

    The thing about KD and Kyrie is they are the opposite of Harden.

    Not durable, and sometimes brittle.

    And Kyrie clearly got some mental issues over the years.

    Anything is possible as corny as that might sound.

    That High variance ish that Morey kept harping on, well, the Nets got it, the Rockets last year did not.

    How did Curry and scrubs beat Lebron and AD?

    I’m shocked Curry hasn’t sprained or tweaked his ankle yet...

    Durant and Harden together is just crazy. It’s weird to see harden play with someone as good as or better than him. CP3 in the first year was the closest thing we ever had to this.
