San Antonio's lottery luck the last three years is such bullshyt. They'll get credited with drafting well and great team building in the future but so much of it was luck.

The Harper pick especially was bullshyt. I'd be so mad if I was a fan of one of these dogshyt teams like the Nets, Wizards and Jazz watching this.
Wizards getting 7th pick every year and then a top pick in the worst draft, I would shoot up the NBA HQ

The biggest winner of the night to this point are Phoenix Suns fans. They will get another home game against the Lakers if the Lakers lose this game.

This was the vision when i drafted Castle and Harper, my son came back from injury and immediately got to cooking again :whew: he had just figured out how to get a triple double before he got hurt, he's gonna ascend from here


And Harper just gets whatever he wants in the paint :banderas: if Fox gets hurt these two gonna be unstoppable

OKC :myman:

Just bludgeoning teams. Team is going to keep getting better. Coaching is going to keep getting better. Bench is going to keep getting better.

Shai shot 73% as a guard in this game. Was shooting 55% coming into the game. Dudes don't even realize what they're witnessing.

Starting 5 haven't even played a minute together lol

Dylan Harper is disgustingly good :pachaha:

He can moonwalk to the rim at will draw fouls at will make damn near every pass from everywhere on the court his shot is shaky but leave him open and he'll go 3 for 5 shooting 3's in a quarter :pachaha:

If he was in Utah or Washington he would be the runaway fav for ROY putting up 26 8 and 8 :pachaha:

Instead he in Swag Antonio coming off the bench cause they got a guard on a max contract putting up all nba numbers and another guard who won ROY last year and is going to be toward the top of the list of most improved players this year :pachaha:


It's ok we're reloading

Can trade that fakkit fox for a upgrade at SF

Remember what I said about strength of schedule and how nitpickers were on OKC having the #1 easiest schedule… even tho DEN and LAL were right behind them at #2 and #3 with similar injuries but not playing as well? (media and podcasters don’t want to bring that part up)

So are the Lakers as good as their current record/ seeding? :jbhmm:

Would OKC still be 24-1 if they had the 3rd easiest schedule (LAL) instead of the 1st?

You think Spurs healthy are better than those 2 teams (Lakers/Nuggets)

I feel SA has the higher ceiling than those 2 but Denver is a more consistent proven commodity

Healthy, I think Spurs could beat the Lakers like how Minnesota did last year

Denver would be too experienced and without the major defensive flaws

probably

they're the best team, man. Trying to put asterisks on it doesnt change that.

Yup, exactly my point. I mean, they won 68 last year… so no matter what the schedule strength was at any point of that season, they still won.

Other than a few teams getting better (DET, HOU) and others getting worse (IND, LAC) it’s the same landscape as last year.
