"when healthy" is doing some heavy lifting there. he's 33 and has a history of not taking care of his body properly. it's a minor medical miracle he's playing as well as he is at 33

No you don't, he played completely differently, it was agonizingly slow and he broke the game so bad they had to change the rules. It was not a fun style of basketball to watch.

Tyrese is really good and could definitely be an MVP player soon. I'd argue if Indy pulls a rabbit out of a hat and somehow gets a top 5 seed he might even have a case this year.

He makes everyone around him better and is also a top tier self-creator, but probably needs to either score a bit more or elevate his defensive game to be an MVP!

no I don’t think that is the case at all

I think if he were taller that would help. being tall + passing is the game breaker. hell it’s breaking the entire league.

Good point. I think he'll be stuck in the Chris Paul zone, which makes sense because he is taller than Chris Paul but not taller than some other basketball players.

Sabonis for Halliburton was a win-win trade for both teams. Both players are all star caliber this year. Sabonis is like a high rent Jokic and Fox has been unleashed now that he's not competing with another high usage guard. Also the Kings got to get rid of their god awful Buddy Hield contract and finally have size/rebounding to show for it

Pacers meanwhile get to build around arguably the best young pg in the league and set up young talent like Nembhard and Mathurin for success

In the past 11 games the nuggets have played the rockets twice, the Jazz, wizards, lakers, hornets, and blazers.

they’ve played 4 good teams and beat one of them.

The Nuggets beat the Grizzlies, Blazers (on the road with Lillard scoring 40/11), and Jazz in their recent 5-1 stretch without MPJ but nice try

it’s true that the nuggets have played vs overall the worst teams of anyone but strength of schedule doesn’t take into account home/away. they only started a long homestand the other day, they had played the most road games of anyone before it (now they’re still in first but it’s tied).

So far I feel like I nailed my Cavs, Nets, and Nuggets predictions, but I feel dumb with how much I underrated the Grizzlies, Pelicans, and Kings. Looks like I overrated the Wolves the most

the Blazers will still make the play in at least, but that’s because the West has 4 (four) teams actively trying to be worst in the league compared to the east’s 1 (one).
