Your t-pups still aren't there....


The Jazz are winning it.

In some ways I look at Portland similarly to the Goran Dragic Phoenix team from a couple of years ago that over performed & won too soon and thew off the whole timeline of the rebuild. On the other hand I think Portland got off to such a slow start last year that they could actually be better. I'm just really high on Jazz. They won 40 games last year and lost Gobert for 6 weeks, Exum for the year, Favors and Gobert missed the 2nd half of the Mavs game in game 81 and they both didn't play game 82 against the Lakers. They have probably the best defense in the league and they've added veterans who can score so they shouldn't have as many scoring droughts.

I kinda feel the same about Portland.

It wouldn't shock me if they won the Northwest and it also wouldn't shock me if they finished 4th in it

Not necessarily. Probably out at least through all-star break though.

Will be interesting to see if the Bucks swing a trade with this news. Could've used OJ if he wasn't an idiot

They can have James young!

Whoever they get, he needs to be able to shoot

Milwaukee in that Minnesota Vikings spot where they were set up to make a run this season and now they have to overpay to keep it going and they probably will

If we can get the collector's edition of That 80s Show for James Young I'll be happy.

I kind have thought about Rudy Gay but he would be playing out of position so that doesn't seem likely. Although maybe McLemore?

Things haven't been going well for the Bucks since the Brandon Knight trade
