ROY needs 65 games or more yeah? Seems very likely Wemby (and a lot of others) don’t make that

What's our list of "poo poo to look out for" this year?

Can Zion play a whole season?
Will Harden move?
How long before the 6ers implode?
Lebron OLD
Is Ben Simmons BACK
Wemby real?

That's so dumb

Also gently caress, I didn't account for it in the Zogo poll, lol Wemby ain't winning the Rookie WS title if someone smaller and healthier plays 70+ games.

  • I'm a zion optimist, YES
  • no doubt
  • already happened, see Harden
  • he's SO OLD he'll only be a top 15 player instead of top 5
  • BACK!!!
  • so real the spurs will probably have to sit him to tank more effectively

Personally I'm really looking forward to the first three-ten game "small sample size theater" where people who should know better will say "okay YES it's a small sample size BUT the Pistons have a 236.9 ORTG with undrafted rookie Colton Burpo on the court"

Post your favorite weird poo poo that happened at the openings of previous seasons that turned out to be total illusions. Three that come to mind for me are the Sixers with rookie Michael Carter-Williams winning their first three before going 16-63 the rest of the season, then two from last year of the Blazers starting out 4-0 and the MIP campaign from Bol Bol before he got put back on the bench, then removed from the rotation entirely, then waived.

I liked the Three Alphas Bulls winning their first few games by a million points off of wade shooting like 60% from 3

I'll never forget him doing the throat slash, that owned almost made up for him basically retiring for the rest of the season.

My favorite part of this was people posting clips of him going coast to coast with #all-star tags but those games he was like 3-9 and -17 with like 4 rebounds.

Take me to your Shida

An open letter to one (1) Chris Finch:

I cannot stress enough how much I need you to put the following lineup on the floor this season, with enough minutes to give it some form of statistical significance in grading it:

Anthony Edwards
Kyle Anderson/Jaden McDaniels
Naz Reid (Naz Reid)
Karl-Anthony Towns
Rudy Gobert

Thanks in advance

You just monkey pawed a rash of injuries into existence.

Also I see what you're doing but any lineup of death really needs NAW.

Let's go Lakers, a beautifully constructed team with a deep roster that definitely won't struggle with injuries to star players all season. The road to 97-0 starts tonight :smuggo:

Jamaal Murray will get right back into his “beat the poo poo out of the Lakers” vibe from last years postseason, and will score 33 points tonight.
