    My lord these Brooklyn uniforms are atrocious.

    They look like a cartoon!
    Combined with the gray court it looks like you're watching a black and white tv.

    Stupid stats!  Love them.

    Why in the world did we ever convert over to finding stats like this and find them useful?

    Watching around the horn that is all the show revolves around is analytics and remembering stats and showing less and less knowledge about sports itself...

    So I picked the Wizards to make a run for the playoffs this year...  They are playing so poorly that they might not get 10 wins this year.  Man was I wrong about Beal going to shine without  Wall around.

    Rockets are really that bad or is Miami really that good?

    Yeah under 27.5 wins looks like easy money currently.

    There is an amazing amount of subpar basketball being played right now.

    I'm beginning tot think that the NBA is watered down and kids need to stay in college longer.

    I agree. Yet the one and done rule looks not long for the world and we'll soon have high schoolers being drafted again.

    Not a fan of the out of HS drafting.  I wonder why the NBA doesn't adopt the NFL mantra on HS athletes?

    For shits and giggles I went back to see whom got drafted out of HS and in 2005 there were 9 players picked and I recognized only 1 player and that was Andrew Bynum.  The only reason I remember him was because he played for the Lakers.

    or the Baseball system? That way you have the choice of getting drafted or if you go to school you can't get drafted until 3 years. Seems to work for baseball?(I know its harder sport to make the Pros).

    I saw him play in HS. I think it was only one game. I tried to see him play a few games but he was usually in street clothes. Coach told a friend of mine that one time he had a bruise and Doctor said he could play but he was a pussy>LOL

    Who are the other players? I may have saw some play in HS.

    I just looked it up.
    I saw:
    Martell Webster (He played with Spencer Hawes in HS)
    Monta Ellis
    Lou Williams
    Andray Blatche (Do you know he plays for National  Team of the  Phillipines?)

    my thoughts for the east
    76ers 1st place (simmons doesnt shoot a 3, embid plays 55-60 games)
    Raptors 2nd place ( OG Anunoby wins most improved)
    Bucks 3rd place (Giannis doesn't sign max deal and wins MVP)
    Nets don't make playoffs (Irving avgs 30 points a game)
    My thoughts for the West
    Clippers 1st place (Leonard plays 60 games)
    Denver 2nd place
    3rd place Utah
    Lakers finish 7thh as Lebron gets hurt in the new year

    He might cruise again in the regular season and save himself for the playoffs like he has been doing these past few years.  He has no reason to "kill it" anymore.

    When does Chris Paul go down?  That is another player that has consistently gone down too.

    While i am a Raptors fan, i really like the sixers.  my only worry is in the playoffs where games get tighter, who takes that shot when the sixers need a point?  the sixers defence will be amazing.
