They are correct

Embiid is the second best player in the league for the third straight year and easily the best player in the east. He's even the second best center in the NBA and outplayed the best one!

In regulation, Gobert was great against Sabonis and Ant did a good job keeping up with the Fox/Monk assault with 30+ points. The Kings were pretty weak on offense before OT

But Russell/Edwards are absolutely terrible on D

Russell is such a loving waste. I hope they manage to unload him at the deadline, but I dunno how many teams want a PG who can't run an offense or an SG who can't defend, depending on exactly what role he's being slotted into any given night.

Like, dude would be a great 6 man but he's making 30 mil. I legit wonder what dumbass GM is gonna give him a raise this off-season.

Westbrook for Russell who says no

With Jordan McLaughlin out and DLo realizing that he's gonna get paid the same whether he runs the offense or not, Ant is literally the best PG on the floor.

The Wolves. Their cap is kinda hosed so if they let DLo walk (or let whoever they get for DLo walk) they don't get to sign someone else with that cap space. They want someone locked up through at least next year (when Rudy is a FA too).

Gobert does his thing on defense like clockwork but they get worked by opposing guards, and Fox is built to rip through that kind of top-heavy defense

Yossarian-22

I think Gobert has the unenviable situation of being on a team with zero perimeter defense so he has to help double guys sometimes which leaves the paint open. When he is in the paint it's basically a no-go zone. He's shown that his defense gets much worse when he's forced to play the perimeter

maybe. steph's passing looked better, draymond and klay's chemistry looked better. poole didn't look completely awful turning the ball over, wiggins looked okay grabbing some boards, looney is still underrated. i hope people remember that the starters are good, duh, this year's story has been rebuilding the second unit.

i can't get enough of donte divincenzo though that guy plays both sides.


damion lee also looked pretty good today for the suns.

They're looking much more solid. Kuminga is really coming into his own, especially on defense. Hopefully he can eat up all of JMG's minutes going forward.

Donte is also better than I thought he'd be.

Depending on how they're using Jaden McDaniels, they might have a perimeter defender, since he's the best defender on the team not named Rudy, but teams basically attack Ant and especially DLo so anytime they're on the floor together, it's a recipe for defensive breakdowns.

Ant needs to figure out how to play passable defense while still scoring like he has been, DLo needs to figure out how to be paid $10/mil a year and thrive off the bench because he's a classic case of too big a contract not to start.
